kangaroos．到这时，我已经和我的机组成员都藏到袋鼠中去。
By this time意为“到这时”，需用过去完成时。例：
By this time yesterday，I had already finished reading half of the story．
到昨天的这个时候，我已经看了故事的一半了。
5．辨析：at a time, at one time
☆at a time意为“一次，每次”，常用于“数词＋at a time”的结构中。例：
Pass me the bricks two at a time．把砖头递给我，每次两块。‘
at one time一般指“过去某一时期”或“曾一度”的意思。例：
At one time I used to like her, but not any more．我曾一度很喜欢她，现在可不喜欢了。
6. What happened to Gork？戈克发生什么事了？
☆happen to意为“发生于”，其中to是介词，后接表示人或事物的名词或代词，主语通常是anything, something, what等。例：If anything happens to him, let me know．如果他发生意外，就通知我。
What happened to the machine？机器出了什么毛病？
三 重点语段翻译
Nobody wins （Part II）
After his supper of kangaroo soup，Gork lay down on his bed and almost immediately fell asleep．He was snoring ．The noise shook the cave．‘Listen，everyone，’I said．"Here's my plan．”
From my pocket，I took my small，powerful laser torch．Because it was in a plastic case，the magnet could not attract it．‘We'll use this to escape from the cage，’I said．‘First，I'll melt the bars and then…’
Peters interrupted me．‘I know，Captain ．Then you'll use the torch to kill Gork．’
‘Use your brains，’I said．‘If we kill Gork，how will we escape? We're too weak to open
the door ．Here's what we'll do！we'll...’
Moments later, we were all out of the cage ．The crew was hiding among the kangaroos，and I
was standing on the bed，beside Gork's head ．I said loudly，‘Gork，this is Nobody．’Gork woke up ．I aimed the torch at his eye and pressed the button．The laser beam hit the eye. The eye went out．
Gork roared,‘I can't see！My eye！’The noise brought his neighbours running to his door.’
‘What's wrong, Gork?’they shouted from outside．
Gork shouted back，‘It's Nobody ．Nobody attacked me ．Nobody damaged my eye．’
The neighbours laughed and said，‘Nobody attacked him．Gork's having a bad dream. Let's go back to bed．Good night，Gork。’
By this time，I had joined my crew among the kangaroos，Gork said，‘Nobody，I know you're hiding among my kangaroos．I'll get you．You're finished, all of you．’
He opened the cave door a little and called his kangaroos to come out. As they hopped through the narrow opening, one at a time，he felt their backs with his hands to make sure we were not on them．
‘What do we do now?’Peters whispered．‘We can't get out on the kangaroos．We're done for.’
‘Don't panic，Peters，’I said．‘We can't get out on the kangaroos but we can get out in
them ．Here，get inside this one．’Peters climbed into the giant kangaroo's pocket ．A few moments later, he hopped through the door to freedom．
‘That's how＊all got free，’said Captain King，‘and back to our ship and，eventually，back to the safety of the earth．’
‘What happened to Gork?’asked someone．
‘Gork? I don't know．Maybe he's still in his cave-looking for Nobody．’
Everyone laughed except a figure in the captain's garden ．It was moving silently towards the house ．It was a huge figure，and in its face was a single，red，glowing eye．
没有人赢（第二部分）
吃过了晚餐袋鼠汤后，戈克躺在床上马上睡着了。他打着呼噜。奸声震动了洞穴。“大家听我说，”我说道。“我的计划是这样的。”
从口袋里，我掏出我的小而强大的激光手电筒。因为它是在一个塑料盒里，所以磁铁没能把它吸走。“我们将用这个逃离这个笼子，”我说道。“首先我会熔化钢条，然后……，，
彼得斯打断我。“我知道了，机长。然后你就用这个手电筒杀死戈克。”
“动动脑子，”我说。“如果我们杀了戈克，我们怎么逃出去？我们太弱小了，开不了门。我们要这样做！我们……”
没用多久，我们都逃出了笼子。机组成员都藏在袋鼠中间，我站在床上，戈克的头旁边。我大声说，“戈克，我是没有人，”戈克醒了。我把手电筒对准他的眼睛，按下按粗。激光光束刺向眼睛，他便什么也看不见了。
