The double life of Alfred Bloggs阿尔弗雷德.布洛格斯的双重生活
These days, people who do manual work often receive far more money than people who work in offices. People who work in offices are frequently referred to as ‘white-collar workers' for the simple reason that they usually wear a collar and tie to go to work. Such is human nature, that a great many people are often willing to sacrifice higher pay for the privilege of becoming white-collar workers. This can give rise to curious situations, as it did in the case of Alfred Bloggs who worked as a dustman for the Ellesmere Corporation.
When he got married, Alf was too embarrassed to say anything to his wife about his job. He simply told her that he worked for the Corporation. Every morning, he left home dressed in a smart black suit. He then changed into overalls and spent the next eight hours as a dustman. Before returning home at night, he took a shower and changed back into his suit. Alf did this for over two years and his fellow dustmen kept his secret. AlF's wife has never discovered that she married a dustman and she never will, for Alf has just found another job. He will soon be working in an office. He will be earning only half as much as he used to, but he feels that his rise in status is well worth the loss of money. From now on, he will wear a suit all day and others will call him 'Mr. Bloggs', not 'Alf'.

human nature 人性化

such…that…
that 引导同位语从句，进一步补充说明such的基本内涵，在应用such that的时候虽然没有出现形容词，但句意当中包含形容词的含义
His kindness was such that we will never forget him.=>He was so kind that we will never forget him。他的心肠如此的好我们永远都忘不了他的
=> Such was his kindness…（倒装）
Such is human nature that we want to get a lot of things free.这就是一种人性-我们想免费得到很多东西
Such用在句首，必须倒装

Such is human nature, that a great many people are often willing to sacrifice higher pay for the privilege of becoming white-collar workers.
介词for表示一种目的

be willing to do sth. == be ready to do sth. 心甘情愿做…

give rise to , lead to, cause:引起，惹起 =result in
Such conduct might give rise to misunderstandings.这样的行为可能会引起种种误会的
The bad conditions have given rise to a lot of crimes.不良的环境引起了不少的犯罪行为

in the case of: 至于，就……而言=concerning

simply adv. 用来修饰限定动词told

dressed in a smart black suit-----形容词短语表示一种状态，注意使用它的ed形式
Eg: He got to work dressed in a beautiful coat.
He left home wearing a smart black suit.

Changed into: 换上
Changed back into 换回

Before returning home==Before he returned home
在before 引导的时间状语从句中，return 的逻辑主语和主句的主语he是保持一致的，所以这个时间状语是由介词before和动名词搭配而成，相当于before 引导的时间状语从句。
如果运用动名词形式，动名词的逻辑主语必须是主句的主语。
After getting home, he had a good rest.他回家以后他好好休息了
Before having dinner, he finished all his homework.吃饭前他完成了所有作业

She never will = she will never discover the secret 为什么不表达will never
在省略句式中， never要放在助动词之前。
‘Will you go to see her?’
‘ I will never go to see her.’ / ‘No, I never will.’

half as much as (he used to): 是 … 的一半
half (a quarter, twice, three times ) as …as…表示倍数
I won’t marry a man who is twice as old as me. 年纪比我大一倍（两倍）
We got three times as many people as we exected. 多两倍（三倍）
This room is about three times as large as that one.三倍大

…as (形容词或副词原形)as… 是 …几倍
比 …多几倍：…times 和形容词或副词比较级搭配
This road is four times longer than that one. => This road is five times as long as that one.

is well worth the loss of money
What he obtained is well worth the loss of time他所得到的是很值的大大地弥补了在时间上的损失
Well 副词用来加强语气，修饰形容词worth

【Special difficulties】难点
A． 英语中的许多动词不能以人作为宾语，只能代某物或某事。如果需要说明是某人就要用介词to.
Eg: He explained the difficulty to me
He told a story to me.=> He told me a story.
两类词汇：tell可以和双宾语搭配（指物的直接宾语，指人的间接宾语）
          explain, say只能带一个（直接）宾语，在间接宾语前要介词to
She speaks English to her husband and Swedish to her children.
He admitted his guilt to the police.
Did you suggest this idea to him?
当直接宾语比较长或者是个从句时，通常放在间接宾语之后，但say除外
I explained to him the impossibility of granting his request.
He confessed to me that he had fallen asleep during the meeting.如果是He confessed that he had fallen asleep during the meeting to me.会觉得to me是多余的，但去掉语义不完整。

B. worth adj. 后面只能跟名词或动名词
His suggestion is worth considering.他的建议值得考虑

illustrate: 阐明，阐述

disguise /dis’gaiz/ vt. 假装，扮作；隐瞒；n. 假装；化装服

Too…to (不定式to 表示否定)
So…that:“如此…以至于”（在that引导的结果状语从句中，如果采用否定式，可以和too…to互换）
Eg: The water is too hot for us to drink. => The water is so hot that we can’t drink.

Simply adv “仅仅是，再没有别的了” = only, just
无论是simply, only 还是just, 往往用在主体之前
I did it simply / only for the money.
I don’t like driving. I do it simply / only because I have to go to work each day.
And no more ---放句尾
in a simple way: 简单的，简朴的
Eg: She was always dressed in a simple way.她总是穿得很简朴

如果主、从的主语一致，可用介词和动名词形式搭配。
Before—连接词，引导时间状语从句（一般使用简单时态，不用将来时）
Before he returned home…
Before引导的从句，常用一般现在时或一般过去时，不用进行时。

‘ half as much as it used to be’
the amount 要用定语从句进行限定
used to: 当主句的谓语动词是行为动词时，之后的动词必须省略掉。
Used to be:当主句的谓语动词是系动词时，之后必须带有系动词be。
Eg: I feel the summers are hotter than they used to be.
I feel you are much fatter than you used to be.
