Text Analysis课文解析
（Being）Tired of sleeping on the floor, a young man in Teheran saved up for years to buy a real bed. 德黑兰的一个年轻人由于对睡地板感到厌倦，于是积蓄多年买了一张真正的床。
tired引导的分词短语省略了开头的being，其作用相当于原因状语从句：As he was tired of…。be tired of sth/doing sth 厌倦做某事
（1） sleeping为动名词，作介词of的宾语。
原因状语从句由从属连词because,as,since,now that,for…等引导。because表示“原因”语气最强，回答“why'，as表原因时语气不如because强，引导的从句往往放在主句前面，表示较明显的原因；since表示已知悉的原因。
◇We work hard at English because we want to communicate with English-speaking people.
我们努力学英语是因为我们想和说地道英语的人更好的交流。
◇As the weather was fine, we decided to climb the mountain因为天气好，我们决定去爬山。
◇since he is busy,I won't trouble him.我清楚他很忙，所以我就不去麻烦他了。
（2）save up为固定短语，表示“储蓄”、“攒钱”,'up'起加强语气的作用：
Leon wants to get married in one or two years, so he’s trying to save(some money)up.
Leon想一两年之间内结婚，所以他在设法攒钱。
（3）to在这里用于表示目的，相当于in order to：
Stacey got up early to have a swim. 宅家为了去游泳起了个大早。
为了游泳我起了个大早。
For the first time in his life, he became the proud owner of a bed which had springs and a mattress. 他平生第一次自豪地拥有了一张既有弹簧又带床垫的床。
Spring作名词我们知道有“春天”的意思。那句有名的西风颂（Ode to the West Wind written byPercy Bysshe Shelley）中的诗句：, If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?（冬天来了，春天还远吗？）
Spring作名词时还有“发条、弹簧”的意思。课文中就是这种用法。
for the first time in one‘s life 某人平生第一次
◇DaBai became a father for the first time in his life. 大白生平第一次当了父亲
Be proud of=take pride in为…感到骄傲
◇Let your mother know that you love her and are proud of her. 让你的妈妈知道你是爱她的，并为她骄傲
Because the weather was very hot, he carried the bed on to the roof of his house.由于天气很热，他便把床搬到了他的屋顶上。
on to（onto） 类似与 in to（into），用于表示动作方向而不用于表示静态的位置，不但有“去”的概念还有把它放到“on”（上面）的概念。onto/on to有时可用on代替，但表示位置的on不可用onto代替：
I put the pen onto/on the table. 我把钢笔放到了桌子上。
The pen is on the table. 笔在桌子上。（不可用onto/ on to）
Katherine jumped onto the stage. 凯瑟琳跳上了台上。
Katherine jumped on the stage. 凯瑟琳在台上跳了跳。
He slept very well for the first two nights, but on the third night, a storm blew up. 头两天晚上，他睡得非常好。但第三天晚上起了风暴了。
for the first two nights 头两天晚上
◇I study hard for the first three nights.头三天晚上我学习很用功。
for the last three nights 后三天晚上
blow up <adv.> 风越刮越大(程度在加深)，（指暴风雨）出现并加剧；刮起
speak up 大声点
A gust of wind swept the bed off the roof and sent it crashing into the courtyard below.一阵大风把床从屋顶上刮了下来，把它摔碎在下面的院子里。
gust表示“一阵强风，一阵狂风”，既可单独使用，也可用a gust of wind形式：A gust (of wind) blew my hat off.一阵风把我帽子吹跑了。
off = down/away from
below 直接放在被修饰词之后作定语
crashing into the courtyard below是现在分词短语，作宾语补足语。crash （不及物动词）直接用主动形式，
一个句子中不能出现两个动词，如果出现了两个动词，要用and或but连接；或者把其中一个作为非谓语动词to do(表目的)，-ed(表被动)，-ing(表主动)。
The young man did not wake up until the bed had struck the ground.那年轻人直到床撞到地上才醒了过来。
Until后面动词使用了过去完成时，表明一种动作的前后性。
not…until表示“直到……才”，until前面没有not时，与表示一段时间的“持续动词”连用；有not时，常用表示某一时间点的动词（或瞬间动词）连用：
◇I’ll stay here until Monday. 我要在这儿呆到星期一。
◇I won’t leave until Monday. 我要到星期一才离开。
Although the bed was smashed to pieces, the man was miraculously unhurt. 尽管床摔成了碎片，但年轻人却奇迹般地没有受伤。
