Seven days without water makes one weak.七天不進水就會使人虛弱。(weak同week同音，因此這句話聽起來也可以理解為“七天不進水才算一個星期”。)Play on words也可以作短語動詞，意為“說俏皮話”，“作文字游戲”。

lay the table = set the table擺桌子(準備吃飯)

【重點難點解析】
1. I'm just going down to the dining car to get a coffee.
我正要去餐車買一杯咖啡。
coffee通常不加-s，前面也不與不定冠詞a連用，但在餐館內a coffee是“一杯咖啡”，two coffees 意思是“兩杯咖啡”。
2. The message is this: you are to go to the hotel where rooms have already been booked for you.
他給你們留下了電話：要你們去旅館，房間已經給你們定好了。
“be+不定式”是表示將來時間的結構，用于第二人稱時，常含有轉達別人指示的意思。
本句you are to go to the hotel…是鐵路人員轉達漢克給子女的口信，含有指示的意思。又如：
Here is a message for you from your head teacher: you are to go to her office after class.
你的班主任帶給你一個口信，要你下課后到她的辦公室去。
Mother says you're to finish your homework this evening.
媽要你今晚完成作業。
“be+不定式”表示命令或指示時通常用于第三人稱。例如：
“She is to be back before 11 o'clock, ” said the teacher.
老師說：“她必須在11點鐘以前回來。”
The classroom is to be locked.
這教室要上鎖。
“be+不定式”更常用來表示計劃或安排(做某事)的意思。例如：
They are to plant some young trees next month.
他們計劃下個月種些樹。
The train for Wuhan is to start at 10∶20.

3. At that moment he remembered that all the tickets, passports and traveler's cheques were in his jacket that he had left hanging next to his seat.
這時他才想起全部車票、護照和旅行支票都放在他的夾克衫里，而夾克衫還掛在他的座位旁邊。
句中that he had left hanging next to his seat 是定語從句，修飾先行詞his jacket。從句中的謂語動詞leave后跟復合賓語，即leave sb. /sth. +v. -ing結構，作“讓(某人/某事 )繼續處于某種狀態”解。例如：
Don't leave him waiting outside. Let him in.
不要讓他在外邊等著，叫他進來。
Leave the piano standing in the corner.
讓鋼琴擺在角落里吧。
4. I was still so angry I was determined to tell him what I thought of him.
我仍然滿腔怒火，便決定把我對他的看法告訴他。
這是一個復合句，I was determined to tell. . . 是一個由so. . . (that)引導的表結果的狀語從句，其中的that省去了，在口語中that常可省略，又如：
The joke was so funny it made everybody laugh.
這笑話太可笑了，逗得大家捧腹大笑。
I'm so busy with my work I have no time to write a letter.
我工作太忙，沒有時間寫信。
It was so dark(that) I couldn't find my wallet on the floor.
天太黑了，我沒能發現地上的錢夾。
5. I was pleased that the manager had decided not to be angry with me for having been so rude.
我很高興，經理決定不因為我曾經粗魯地對待他而對我大發雷霆。
for having been so rude是狀語，說是be angry的原因，其中having been是-ing的完成時，表示動作發生在謂語動詞所表示的動作之前。例如：
I don't remember having told you about it.
我不記得曾經和你說過那件事。
Jim was punished for having killed the dog.
吉姆為殺死了那條狗而受到處罰。
I was sorry for having wasted so much time.
我感到很遺憾，過去浪費了太多的時間。
