　　自学导读
1．He won't let me make another film.他不会再让我拍电影了。
句中动词let后面的不定式不带to，类似的例子如动词have，make等。
2．introduce A to B,将A介绍给B，向B介绍A。
3．get married,结婚。
4．the latest,最新消息。
5．…she would have to ask her future husband．……她得问问她的未婚夫。
这部分是从句，在整句话中作said的直接宾语。 would have to ask是过去将来时结构。因为主句的谓语动词是said，相对过去的这一时间点的将来就是过去的将来，所以用过去将来时结构。

语法  Grammar in use
1．let的用法
let与一般动词不同，它用于动词+宾语+动词原形结构，即let后面可接名词或代词，再接不带to的动词不定式。其意思为“允许”、“让”。请看例句：
She lets her son play in the garden.
她让她的儿子在花园里玩。
Her parents wouldn't let her go out with that boy.
她的父母不允许她与那个男孩子一起出去。
Just let me try!
就让我试试吧！
They didn't let the guests smoke in the lobby³.
他们不允许客人们在大厅吸烟。
2．间接引语中情态助动词由现在时如何变为过去时
（参见 Lessons 133～134语法部分。）
‘I can understand English,’she told me.
She told me she could understand English.
她告诉我说她懂英语。
‘I can't afford a new car,’she said to me.
She told me she couldn't afford a new car.
她告诉我说她买不起新车。
‘It will rain tomorrow,’ she told we.
She told me it would rain tomorrow.
她告诉我说明天下雨。
‘George won't travel by air, ’he said.
He said George wouldn't travel by air.
他说乔治将不乘飞机旅行。
‘I may go to the cinema this evening,’he said.
He said he might go to the cinema this evening.
