　　Notes on the text课文注释

　　1 it would not prove difficult, 是不难做到的。

　　prove是连系动词，作“证明是”讲，本句子与it would notbe difficult相同。

　　2 accuse sb. of (doing) sth. 作“指责、指控某人做某事”解。

　　3 he had better return it, 他最好把羔羊还给迪米特里。

　　had better用来表达一种建议，建议在将来某一具体场合采取的动作。这个短语比should和ought to的语气更强烈，常带有威胁、告诫或催促的意思。

　　4 denied taking it…,

　　deny后面可接动名词作宾语，也可接宾语从句。

　　5 apologize to sb. for (doing)sth. , 是“因(做)某事向某人道歉”的意思。
