课文详注 Further notes on the text

1.A perfect alibi,(标题)极好的不在犯罪现场的证据。

alibi为法律用语,含义是“不在场证明”、“当时不在场的申辩”,是可数名词:

Ian had an alibi/alibis for that morning.

伊恩有那天上午不在场的证据/证明。

与它搭配的动词通常有offer,prove,set up等。

2.…I was there on time.……
我是按时到了那儿的。

on time为固定短语,表示“准时”、“按时”(注意它与in time的区别):

Can you arrive on time?

你能准时到吗?

Tom is never on time. He always keeps other people waiting.

汤姆从来不准时。他总是让别人等。

3.And you didn't notice anything unusual? 您没有注意到有什么异常情况发生吗?

这是一个陈述疑问句,即它具备与陈述句同样的基本语法结构,但用升调提问。这种句子在英语中不常用:

不定代词如anything,something等被形容词修饰时,形容词必须跟在不定代词之后:

This is something special.

这很特别。

This isn't anything important.

这并不重要。

I'd like something cheaper.

我想买点较为便宜的东西。

4.I suggest…that you are not telling the truth. 我提醒您……您讲的不是实话。

I suggest(that)…在这里用于提出质疑,译为“依我看……”、“恐怕……”:

I suggest that he is not so honest as he looks.

依我看他并不像他看上去那么诚实。

I suggest that the car crash was not accidental.

恐怕这起汽车撞车事故不是偶然的。
