to an old man to buy love lotion for the girl he fancies.The conversation between the young man and the old man indicates serious philosophy.One of the moral lessons the text contains is anything precious,love included,is most likely to have an end.A person can easily,Highlights,fall in love and get married,but what await him or her could be endless remorse,and with that it might end as soon as possible.So one should be wise and keep their eyes open when they are in love though love is said to be blind.,The following paragraphs implies the experienced old man had encountered many young men who had been in the grip of romantic desire before,but who eventually got tried of the possessive love they had experienced.He knew for sure that Austens possessive love would not last long.It would eventually bore and anger him.He expected that when his enthusiastic passion changed into hatred,Austen would come to him again,because he had already seen those disillusioned customers return to buy the“chaser”so that they could be free from the women for whom they had previously bought the love potion.,Part Three,:(Paragraphs 13-45),This part mainly developed through the dialogue between the old man and Alan.Alan got to know about the love potion and in the end bought it.,For Alan,love means entirely passion for lover.,The surprising ending suggests that the wise old man had a good understanding of men like Austen:they were filled with illusion about love but once in the possession of this love,they were most likely to be tormented to,such a degree that they would like to buy the life-cleaner.The cynical tone of the old man gives what he said a double meaning.,Detailed Study of the Text,Chaser,:a milder drink,as of beer or water,taken after a strong drink of

前置,把在正常词序下通常在后面出现的成分移至句首，使之处于突出的位置，从而受到特殊强调，这种语法手段叫做前置。使用前置手段表示强调，有时不必改变语序，有时则引起倒装。不引起倒装的前置成分通常是宾语、主语补足语和宾语补足语,。例如：,A horrible mess youve made of it.你把事情搞得一团糟。,Keener and keener the competition became.竞争越来越激烈。,这些成分的前置往往能使上下文紧密衔接,。例如：,I knew you were absent-minded,but dishonest I never thought you.,我知道你健忘，但我从未想过你不诚实。,Grammar Exercises,Mr.Blair bought seven books.Three of these he sent to his daughter,the rest he kept for himself.,布莱尔先生买了7本书，3本送给了女儿，其余的自己留着。,有时，这种前置是为了意义的对比和结构的对称,。例如：,“For indifference,”said the old man,“they substitute devotion.For scorn,adoration.”,Tactless she may be,but ungrateful you should not think her.,她也许不够圆滑，但你不该认为她忘恩负义。,此外，位于动词也可前置表示强调，但前置的一般是实义动词，或者实义动词及其宾语或状语,。例如：,Search as they would,they could find nothing in the house.,由他们去搜吧，他们再这房子里也找不到什么。,They might have accepted the agreement,but accept it willingly they would never.他们也许接受了协议，但决不会是心甘情愿地接受。,Translation Exercises,1.对我来说，你绝对不是相识的人而已。,To me,you are definitely more than a mere
