would try to steal the diamonds.When the plane arrived,some of the
detectives were waiting on the airfield.Two men took the parcel off
the plane and caried it into the Custom House.While two detectives
were keeping guard at the door,two others opened the parcel.To their
surprise,the precious parcel was full of stones and sand!

★Special difficulties
vt+adv+賓語(yǔ)(n)
vt+賓語(yǔ)(n/pron)+adv
vi+prep+賓語(yǔ)(n)
賓語(yǔ)的位置和詞性取決于施加動(dòng)作的動(dòng)詞
介詞出現,一定要有賓語(yǔ),所以v+prep+賓語(yǔ)(n)
副詞可以省略,v+賓語(yǔ)(n/pron)+adv或v+adv+賓語(yǔ)(n)
是副詞還是介詞要看動(dòng)詞是及物動(dòng)詞還是不及物動(dòng)詞
vt-adv vi-prep
而判斷是不是及物動(dòng)詞就要看平時(shí)的積累了
特殊:1.make up...->make(vt)up one's mind
語(yǔ)法上可以改為make one's mind up,但習慣上不改
2.ask for...
表面上ask(vt),可改。但要注意是ask (sb) for sth
的省略,所以不能改
