        　　Why did Alf want a white-collar job?
        　　These days, people who do manual work often receive far more money than people who
        　　work in offices.
        　　people who do manual work = blue-collar workers
        　　people who do mental work = white-collar workers = people who work in offices
        　　for more money(far副词用来加强语气= much)
        　　People who work in offices are frequently referred to as "white-collar workers‘ for the
        　　simple reason that they usually wear a collar and tie to go to work.
        　　refer?to...as?=?regard...as 把...看作为
        　　-- I?always?refer?to?him?as?bookworm(n.书呆子)
        　　for the simple reason = for? 引导的原因状语从句
        　　for?the?reason?that多用于正式文体，because多用于口语中。
        　　-- He is refer to as a book worm for the simple reason that he spare no efforts reading.
        　　-- He was send to prison for he could not pay his debts.
        　　Such is human nature, that a great many people are often willing to sacrifice higher pay for
        　　the privilege of becoming white-collar workers.
        　　human?nature 人性
        　　such...that... (that引导同位语从句, 进一步补充说明such的基本内涵)
        　　-- His kindness was such that we will never forget him.
        　　= Such?was?his?kindness that… (such在句首要倒装)
        　　= He was so kind that we will never forget him.
        　　-- Such is human nature that we want to get a lot of things free.
        　　介词for表示一种目的
        　　be?willing?to?do?sth = be?ready?to?do?sth 心甘情愿做
        　　This can give rise to curious situations, as it did in the case of Alfred Bloggs who worked as
        　　a dustman for the Ellesmere Corporation.
        　　give?rise?to =(lead to v.导致, 通向)(cause vt.引起, 惹起)(result?in v.导致)
        　　-- Such conduct might give rise to misunderstandings. 这种行为会引起误解。
        　　-- The bad conditions have given rise to a lot of crimes. 不良的环境引起了犯罪。

        　　in?case?of(副词)万一, 以防 à (in case conj.万一)

        　　He then changed into overalls and spent the next eight hours as a dustman.

        　　Before returning home = Before he returned home
        　　Before和动名词搭配, 相当于Before引导的时间状语从句。
        　　如果运用动名词形式，动名词的逻辑主语必须是主句的主语

        　　-- Before having dinner, he finished all his homework.
        　　Alf did this for over two years and his fellow dustmen kept his secret.

        　　has just found another job. He will soon be working in an office.
        　　she never will = she will never discover the secret
        　　在省略句式中, never要放在助动词之前
        　　-- “will you go to see her?”
        　　-- “I will never to to see her" = "No, I never will."
