Notes on the text 课文注释

1  the local police，当地警察(局)。2  call at，拜访，也可用call on。3  he is not worried anymore，他不再担心了。4  the policeman told him，警察告诉他。这是插入成分，在讲故事时常用这种方式。5  the bicycle was picked up in a small village four hundred miles away，那辆自行车在400英里以外的一个小村里被发现。pick up有“意外地找到”的意思。6  It is now being sent to his home by train. 现在正用火车给他运回家来。当被动语态用于现在进行时中，要在助动词be后面加上-ing，再加上过去分词。7  most surprised中的most有very的意思，常常与起形容词作用的过去分词连用。

参考译文

丹·鲁宾逊焦虑了整整一个星期。上星期二他收到当地警察局的一封信，要他到警察局去一趟。丹奇怪警察为什么找他，但昨天还是去了，结果他不再担心了。在警察局里，一位面带笑容的警察告诉他，他的自行车找到了。那位警察对他说，那辆自行车是5天前在400英里外的一个小村里发现的，现在正用火车给他运回家来。丹听到这个消息后，惊奇万分，但又感到非常好笑，因为他从未指望那辆自行车还能找到。这是20年前丹还是一个15岁的孩子时被人偷走的！
