The word‘justice’ is given two different meanings in the text.
英式发音:
美式发音:
What is the distinction between them?
The word justice is usually associated with courts of law. We mightsay that justice has been done when a man's innocence or guilt hasbeen proved beyond doubt. Justice is part of the complex machineryof the law. Those who seek it undertake an arduous journey andcan never be sure that they will find it. Judges, however wise oreminent, are human and can make mistakes.
There are rare instances when justice almost ceases to be an abstract concept. Reward or punishment are meted out quite independent of human interference. At such times, justice acts like a living force. When we use a phrase like‘it serves him right’, we are, in part, admitting that a certain set of circumstances has enabled justice to act of its own accord.
When a thief was caught on the premises of a large jewellery store one morning, the shop assistants must have found it impossible to resist the temptation to say‘it serves him right’. The shop was an old converted house with many large, disused fireplaces and tall, narrow chimneys. Towards midday, a girl heard a muffled cry coming from behind one of the walls. As the cry was repeated several times, she ran to tell the manager who promptly rang up the fire brigade. The cry had certainly come from one of the chimneys, but as there were so many of them, the fire fighters could not be certain which one it was. They located the right chimney by tapping at the walls and listening for the man's cries. After chipping through a wall which was eighteen inches thick, they found that a man had been trapped in the chimney. As it was extremely narrow, the man was unable to move, but the fire fighters were eventually able to free him by cutting a huge hole in the wall. The sorry-looking, blackened figure that emerged, admitted at once that he had tried to break into the shop during the night but had got stuck in the chimney. He had been there for nearly ten hours. Justice had been done even before the man was handed over to the police.

参考译文
“正义”这个词常常是同法庭连在一起的。当某人被证据确凿地证明无罪或有罪的时候,我们也许会说正义得到了伸张。正义是复杂的法律机器的组成部分。那些寻求正义的人走的是一条崎岖的道路,从来没有把握他们最终将找到正义。法官无论如何聪明与有名,毕竟也是人,也会出差错的。
在个别情况下,正义不再是一种抽象概念。奖惩的实施是不受人的意志支配的。在这种时候,正义像一种有生命的力量行使其职能。当我们说“他罪有应得”这句话的时候,我们部分地承认了某种特定的环境使得正义自动地起了作用。
一天上午,当一个小偷在一家大型珠宝店里被人抓住的时候,店员一定会忍不住说:“他罪有应得。”那是一座老式的、经过改造的房子,店里有许多废置不用的大壁炉和又高又窄的烟囱。快到中午的时候,一个女售货员听见从一堵墙里传出一种闷声闷气的叫声。由于这种喊叫声重复了几次,她跑去报告了经理,经理当即给消防队挂了电话。喊叫声肯定是从烟囱里传出来的,然而,因为烟囱太多,消防队员无法确定到底是哪一个。他们通过叩击烟囱倾听那人的喊叫声而确定了传出声音的那个烟囱。他们凿透了18英寸厚的墙壁,发现有个人卡在了烟囱里。由于烟囱太窄,那人无法动弹。消防队员在墙上挖了个大洞,才终于把他解救出来。那个看起来满脸沮丧、浑身漆黑的家伙从烟囱里一出来,就承认头天夜里他企图到店里行窃,但让烟囱卡住了。他已经在烟囱里被困了将近10个小时。甚至在那人还没被送交给警察之前,正义就已得到了伸张。
自学导读
课文详注 Further notes on the text
1.A short while ago, however, he became a bus driver and be has not regretted it.然而就在前不久,他开上了公共汽车,也并不为此而感到后悔。
(1)while作名词表示“一会儿”、“(一段)时间”时常与a连用,有时也与the,this等连用:
They haven't seen each other for a long while.
他们有很长时间没见面了。
Have you been in Australia all this while?
这段时间你一直在澳大利亚吗?
I saw her a short while ago.
我刚才还见到她了。
(2)句尾的it代指 he became a bus driver这件事。
2.far more exciting,令人兴奋得多。
在形容词和副词的比较级与最高级前面,可以用far(相当于much)来表示强调:
It's for/ much colder today than it was yesterday.
今天比昨天要冷得多。
Houses are far/ much more expensive these days.
如今的房价贵多了。
This is(by) far the most expensive bicycle in the shop.
这是这家商店里最贵的自行车。(比其他的要贵好多)
3.… saw two thieves rush out of a shop and run towards a waiting car.……
看到两个小偷从一家商店里冲出来,奔向等在那里的一辆汽车。
(1) see和其他一些感知动词(如 feel, hear,notice, smell, watch 等)
可以用在动词+名词或代词宾语+不带to的不定式结构中;
I saw him climb through the window.
我看见他爬进窗户。
这些动词的宾语相当于不定式的主语,上句即:
I saw that he climbed through the window.
(译文同上)
在课文中的这句话中,rush和run是two thieves的两个连续的动作。
(2) waiting为现在分词作定语,表示“等待着的”、“等在那里的”。
4.The one with the money got such a fright that he dropped the bag.拿钱的那个小偷吓得把提包都扔了。
(1)with 表示“带着”、“拿着”。
(2) such(a)+名词+ that与 so+形容词+ that一样,后面引导的是结果状语从句,
通常译为“如此……以致……”:
They are such wonderful players that they will surely win the game.
他们都是如此出色的运动员,所以肯定能在这场比赛中获胜。
5.As the thieves were trying to get away in their car, Roy drove his bus into the back of it. 当那两个小偷企图乘车逃跑时,罗伊驾驶他的公共汽车撞在了那辆车的后尾上。
(1)
短语动词 get away 的含义之一为“逃跑”、“逃脱”:
How did the thief get away?
小偷是如何逃掉的?
(2)句尾的it指小偷的那辆小汽车; back 指车的“后部”、“尾部”;drive into 的原义为“把(汽车)开进”,
这里是指撞上。
6.the battered car,
那辆被撞坏的车。
battered 为过去分词,作定语,相当于 the car which was battered。
类似的有 a broken window等。
语法 Grammar in use
复习一般现在时、一般过去时、现在完成时和被动语态(cf.第26课、第27课、第 28课、第 31课与第 34课语法)
一般现在时通常用于表示目前的状况或动作以及习惯性的动作;一般过去时则指过去某个时间所做的动作,不强调与现在的关系;词组used to只能用于过去时,表示过去有过而现在已没有的习惯等;
现在完成时通常指过去发生的但与现在有联系的动作。这几种时态在一定的上下文中可以同时出现:
John hasn't recognised that woman yet. Do you recognise her?
约翰还没有认出那位妇女。你能认出她吗?
在第34课的语法中,我们讲到被动语态的用法之一是为了突出主语并避免用不明确的词作主语

两个小偷从一家商店里冲了出来。
While I was talking to Frank, a man rushed into the room.

Roy drove the bus straight at the thieves.
罗伊开车直冲窃贼而去。
3.such与so
such和so都可以用于表示程度,但so 只能作副词和连词,such则是形容词,因此so通常位于形容词、副词之前,而such只能位于名词之前:
引导结果状语从句时,它们的结构分别为“such+(a)+名词+that”和“so+ 形容词+that”:
It was such a cold evening that no one went out.
那天晚上太冷了,所以谁也没有出门。
It was so cold that no one went out.
天太冷了,所以谁也没有出门。
such 除了表示“这样的”、“如此的”等意思外,还可以表示“像这一类的”, so则不能表示后一种意思:
