三.Notes on the text.课文注释
1.Let’s=Let us常用于第一人称的祈使句中，用来表示请求、建议、命令。
2.She told me she had just made a new film.她告诉我她刚拍完一部新片子。这是间接引语的又一个例子，这句话中含有一个用过去时引述动词的结构。如果我们对比一下Marsh小姐对记者说的话(直接引语)和报上刊载的记者的复述(间接引语),就不难发现，间接引语的动词时态往往要倒移。而这种倒移的普遍规则是：现在时变成过去时，现在完成时变成过去完成时。
3.I wonder why!我很想知道为什么！
四.参考译文
1.记者:您刚拍完一部新电影吗，马什小姐？

马什小姐：不，我不准备拍了。我准备退休了。我感觉累得很。我早就不想再拍片子了。
