伊恩.汤普森先生近才买的一个小酒店现在又要卖出去。汤普森先生之所以想卖它，是因为那里常闹鬼。他告诉我有天夜里他怎么也睡不着，因为他听到酒吧里传来一阵奇怪的响声。第二天早上，他发现酒吧间的门被椅子堵上了，家具也被挪动过。虽然汤普森临睡觉时把灯关了，但早晨灯却都亮着。他还说他发现了5只空的威士忌瓶子，肯定是鬼魂昨天晚上喝的。当我暗示说一定是村里有些人来喝不花钱的酒时，汤普森先生摇了摇头。村里的人已经告诉他，即使他把小酒店白送人，他们也不要。

【课文讲解】
1、A publichouse which was recently bought by Mr. Ian Thompson is up for sale.
a public house 酒吧、酒店，口语缩略为pub
up for sale 有待出售，供出售(up为形容词，“已提出的，供……的)
be up for 有待于……，为了某一目的

This problem is upfor discussion.这个问题有待于讨论on sale 打折卖 for sale 拿出来卖的
2、He told methat he could not go to sleep one night because he heard a strange noise comingfrom the bar.
hear sb.doingsth. 听见某人正在做某事
在一些表示感觉的动词如see，hear，feel，watch，notice等之后，往往用“动词 宾语 宾语补足语”这个结构，其宾语补足语既可以是不定式(通常不加to)，也可以是现在分词，两者在意义上区别不大，现在分词表示动作正在发生，不定式则表示动作发生了：bar为酒吧或酒店中卖酒的柜台
3、ThoughMr.Thompson had turned the lights off before he went to bed, they were on inthe morning.
on为形容词，表 “开着的，接通的”，反义词为off。
4、He also saidthat he had found five empty whisky bottles which the ghost must have drunk thenight before.
the night before 前一天晚上 ， lastnight 昨天晚上
the week before 前一个星期 ， lastweek 上个星期
the day before 前一天 ，yesterday 昨天
the next day 下一天 ，tomorrow 明天
直接引语变成间接引语时间状语要改变。now——>then，last night——>the nightbefore，two days ago——>two days before/earlier，today——>that day，tonight——>that night，tomorrow——>the next/following day，lastnight——>the night before等。
5、Thevillagers have told him that they will not accept the pub even if he gives it away.
even if he gives itaway 即使他白送人
even if 即使，它引导的让步状语从句含有很强的假定性give away 捐献，免费的送，赠送
7 The ghostmust have drunk the whisky. In Mr. Thompson's opinion, the ghost ___a___whisky.
a.must drink b.has got to drink c.has to drink d.should drink in one's opinion 就某人看来，以某人观点，某人认为；I think…太过强调个人的主观性, 一般用in one's opinion更让人接受
