Lesson65 Jumbo versus the police
Last Christmas, the circus owner, Jimmy Gates, decided to take some presents to a children's hospital. Dressed up as Father Christmas and accompanied by a 'guard of honour’ of six pretty girls, he set off down the main street of the city riding a baby elephant called Jumbo. He should have known that the police would never allow this sort of thing. A policeman approached Jimmy and told him he ought to have gone along a side-street as Jumbo was holding up the traffic. Though Jimmy agreed to go at once, Jumbo refused to move. Fifteen policemen had to push very hard to get him off the main street. The police had a difficult time, but they were most amused. 'Jumbo must weigh a few tons,' said a policeman afterwards, 'so it was fortunate that we didn't have to carry him. Of course, we should arrest him, but as he has a good record, we shall let him off this time.'

知识笔记:
新词:versus (表示两方对阵)对;circus 马戏团,马戏;accompany 陪伴;approach 走进,靠近;fortunate 幸运的
词组:guard of honour 仪仗队;set off 出发;down the main street 沿着主干道;ought to 客观上应该;hold up 举起,耽搁,支撑;get off 离开;
ought to 是客观的,should是主观的.
ought to表示我不做不行,是责任,虽然可能我不想去做但是还要去做.
should是主观想去做
有点像have to和must的关系.
练习感悟:
可以说是真正入冬以来的第一次早起了,很想缩在被窝里舒舒服服睡到天微亮,可是已经担负不起罪恶感带来的伤害了。
今天练得格外认真,可能也是因为昨天群内同学的点评吧哈哈哈,能有进步就最好。
