【往期回顾】每课一句：新概念英语第2册第53课今天我们接着来看第54课的“每课一句”。
一、课文原文lesson 54 sticky fingers
after breakfast, i sent the children to school and then i went to the shops. it was still early when i returned home. the children were at school, my husband was at work and the house was quiet. so i decided to make some meat pies. in a short time i was busy mixing butter and flour and my hands were soon covered with sticky pastry. at exactly that moment, the telephone rang. nothing could have been more annoying. i picked up the receiver between two sticky fingers and was dismayed when i recognized the voice of helen bates. it took me ten minutes to persuade her to ring back later. at last i hung up the receiver. what a mess! there was pastry on my fingers, on the telephone, and on the doorknobs. i had no sooner got back to the kitchen than the doorbell rang loud enough to wake the dead. this time it was the postman and he wanted me to sign for a registered letter!

二、每课一句i had no sooner got back to the kitchen than the doorbell rang loud enough to wake the dead.注意本句话中的loud enough to wake the dead，字面意思是“声音大得可以吵醒死人了”，用来表示声音非常大。
这个短语采用了夸张（exaggeration）的修辞手法，从而形象地描述出了当时作者非常不耐放的心情——因为作者原本就因为helen bates在不适合的时候不识趣地“煲了很长时间电话粥”而心生厌烦，好不容易劝对方挂了电话，偏偏又有人在这个时候紧接着按响了门铃，作者的烦躁心绪一下子又被点燃，所以才会觉得此时的门铃声格外地刺耳，大得足以把死人吵醒！
三、更多拓展the children were at school, my husband was at work and the house was quiet.注意句中的三个短句形成了排比句式（parallel construction），用以凸显作者此时倍觉轻松的心情，从而为她突然想给家人做馅饼打下了伏笔。
本文还有一句这样的句式：
there was pastry on my fingers, on the telephone, and on the doorknobs.
这句话用以描述作者的手指上、电话上、门把上都粘有面糊，形象地描述出了当时一团糟的情况。
