Lesson 22:A glass envelope 玻璃信封
First listen and then answer the question.
听录音，然后回答以下问题。
How did Jane receive a letter from a stranger?
My daughter, Jane, never dreamed of receiving a letter from a girl of her own age in Holland. Last year, we were travelling across the Channel and Jane put a piece of paper with her name and address on it into a bottle. She threw the bottle into the sea. She never thought of it again, but ten months later, she received a letter from a girl in Holland. Both girls write to each other regularly now. However, they have decided to use the post office. Letters will cosplayt a little more, but they will certainly travel faster.

参考译文
我的女儿简从未想过会接到荷兰一位同龄女孩的来信。去年，当大家横渡英吉利海峡时，简把写有她名字和住址的一张纸条装进了一只瓶子，又将瓶子扔进了大海。此后她就再没去想那只瓶子。但10个月将来，她收到了荷兰一位女孩的来信。目前这两位女孩按期通信了。然而她们还是决定借助邮局。如此会稍微多花点钱，但一定是快得多了。

自学导读
1．A glass envelope, （标题）玻璃信封。
由于第一封信是装在瓶子里的，瓶子便成了那张写有地址的纸条的玻璃信封。
2．My daughter, Jane, never dreamed of receiving a letter from a girl of her own age in Holland. 我的女儿简从未想过会收到荷兰一位同龄女孩的来信。
文中 dreamed of后面的部分都是宾语。动名词 receiving带有我们的宾语 a letter。（ cf. 第 20课语法）receive from表示从收到。
3．Last year, we were travelling across the Channel and Jane put a piece of paper with her name and address on it into a bottle. 去年，当大家横渡英吉利海峡时，简把写有她名字和住址的一张纸条装进了一只瓶子。
（1）在写到过去的事情时，一般过去时和过去进行时可以连用。过去进行时总是用来表示背景，一般过去时表示发生的动作。
在这句话中，travelling across the Channel是个持续时间较长的背景动作。
（2）the Channel=the English Channel（channel假如大写，并且除去the以外没其他定语时，则指英吉利海峡）。
（3）with在这里表示有、带有、具备等，指纸条上写的内容。
4．She never thought of it again
此后她就再没去想那只瓶子
think of指考虑、想、想起等：
Do you ever think of the girls you met at a party?
你会想起你在一个晚会上遇见的女生们吗？
5．Both girls write to each other regularly now. 目前这两位女孩按期通信了。
both的使用方法在第14课词语学习中已经说过。它用在名词前面时，of可有可无。在both girls中，both为形容词；在both of the结构中，both为代词。each other指互相，一般作宾语。
6．Letters will cosplayt a little more, but they will certainly travel faster. 如此会稍微多花点钱，但一定是快得多了。
（1）more和faster都是副词的比较级。这里隐含的比较成分是邮局寄信与海上漂瓶。
（2）动词cosplayt意为（使）花费、价钱为，其主语一般为某物或某件事情：
It cosplayts a lot to buy a house.
买一所房屋要花很多钱。
The dress cosplayt me twenty pounds.
这件连衣裙花了我20英镑。
语法 Grammar in use
后面可跟of，from，in和on的动词
很多动词后面加上介词后仍具备其一般意义，但它们与什么介词连用却总是是固定的，如borrow from，believe in（相信，信仰），receive from等。还有的动词可与不一样的介词连用，而动词的意义改变并不大，如dream of/about，help in/with，expect of/from等。在学习中，要牢记什么介词与它们连用。如下动词和介词一般可以分开用，可以有我们的宾语，并且大多数都可用于被动结构。
（1）与of连用的动词
Someone must warn him of the difficulties. 需要有人提醒他有这类困难。
He has already been warned of them.
他已经被警告过了。（被动结构）
Don't expect too much of your child.
不要对你的孩子期望太高。
He must have spoken of the matter to John.
他一定对约翰谈起过这件事。
I have never heard of the actress.

（2）与from连用的动词

他从玛丽那里借了3本书。
He always asks for help from his parents. 他一直向爸爸妈妈求助。
（3）与in连用的动词
