9、n American businessman，who is lost in London and does not know what he should do介词短语with a million pound bank note作条件状语。with意为“有”。see a penniless young man wandering是see sb.doing sth.结构，表示“看到某人正在做某事”。who is lost in.是who引导的非限制性定语从句，修饰an American businessman。RODERICK：Young man, would you step inside a

30、问几个问题。亨利：不介意。请问吧。罗德里克：可不可以问问，你在这个国家要干点儿什么？你的计划又是什么呢？亨利：嗯，谈不上有什么计划，我希望能找到工作。事实上，我在英国上岸是偶然的。奥利弗：这怎么可能呢？亨利：嗯，你知道，在美国的时候，我有自己的船。大约一个月前，我开船驶出了海湾(他的眼睛盯着餐桌上兄弟俩剩下的晚餐)奥利弗：往下说呀。亨利：哦，好的。嗯，将近傍晚时我发现我被一阵强风刮到海上去了。这都是我的错。我不知道是否能够活到早晨。第二天早上，我正感到绝望的时候，一艘船发现了我。奥利弗：正是那艘船把你带到了英国。亨利：是的。事实上我靠做义工来顶替船费，这就是我衣冠不整的原因了。我去美国大使馆寻
