1.Where do you think you are?
do you think是用在特殊疑问句中的插入语，用来征询见解或表达看法。
2.must have been driving,这种结构用来表示对过去正进行的事情的推测。可译为“一定”或“准是”。
3.at seventy miles an hour，每小时70英里的速度，即约为每小时113千米的速度。
4.I was doing eighty when I overtook you.其中的动词do表示“以...速度行进”。
5.But you’d better not do it again!
you’d better=you had better,后面加动词原形。had better用于建议在将来某一具体场合采取动作，而不用于一般情况，比should语气更为强烈，常有威胁、告诫或催促的意味。
6.you’d better take my advice!你最好还是听从我的劝告！take one’s advice是“听从某人的劝告”的意思。
