17、在生活将会恢复正常了。”为了知道杨明对此事的看法，我们在上海假日酒店杨明的套房的休息室见到了他。杨明觉得他的权利被忽视了。杨明讨厌被人叫做酒鬼，但是实际上最让他伤心的是人们把他的音乐归类为“噪音”。否则的话，他根本不介意要离开自己的公寓。“住在酒店里意味着有服务员每天为我整理床铺，我甚至不用自己洗衣服！”但是我们想知道酒店可以容忍他多久。助读讲解 本句是强调句，强调主语 fact，fact 后的 that 引导同位语从句。Grandpa jailed after one shower too manyEighty-year-old retired tailor(裁缝),James McKay,

25、阳台倒空了一大缸水，麦凯夫妇和蛋糕全都湿透了。劳伦娜几乎没有见过麦凯跑得那么快。“我阻止不了他。刹那间，他就在那儿了。那是自 1964 年以来我所看到他跑得最快的一次。”Smith is not going to take things further with the police.He has also promised to change his ways from now on.And what of James McKay？As he left the police station a large crowd of supporters sang him,“Happy Birthda
