Not guilty 无罪

Customs Officers are quite tolerant these days, but they can still stop you when you are going through the Green Channel and have nothing to declare. Even really honest people are often made to feel guilty. The hardened professional smuggler, on the other hand, is never troubled by such feelings, even if he has five hundred gold watches hidden in his suitcase. When I returned form abroad recently, a particularly officious young Customs Officer clearly regarded me as a smuggler.
'Have you anything to declare?' he asked, looking me in the eye.
'No', I answered confidently.
'Would you mind unlocking this suitcase please?'
'Not at all,' I answered.
The Officer went through the case with great care. All the thing I had packed so carefully were soon in a dreadful mess. I felt sure I would never be able to close the case again. Suddenly, I saw the Officer's face light up. He had spotted a tiny bottle at the bottom of my case and he pounced on it with delight.
'Perfume, eh?' he asked sarcastically. 'You should have declared that. Perfume is not exempt from import duty.'
'But it isn't perfume,' I said. 'It's hair gel.' Then I added with a smile, 'It's a strange mixture I make myself.'
As I expected, he did not believe me.
'Try it!' I said encouragingly.
The officer unscrewed the cap and put the bottle to his nostrils. He was greeted by an unpleasant smell which convinced him that I was telling the truth. A few minutes later, I was able to hurry away with precious chalk marks on my baggage.

10. All the thing I had packed so carefully were soon in a dreadful mess.

所有细心包装好的东西一会儿工夫就乱成一团。

语言点:句子结构分析:本句中的all the things为先行词,其后的定语从句必须由that引导,即(that)I had packed so carefully;不用which,that可以省去。In a dreadful mess的意思是“乱成一团”,是固定搭配。

11. I felt sure I would never be able to close the case again.

我相信那箱子再也关不上了。

语言点:句子结构分析:sure后面的宾语从句省略了引导词that。

12. Suddenly, I saw the Officer's face light up.

忽然,我看到官员脸上露出了自得的神色。

语言点1:句子结构分析:see为感官动词,后面一般接不带to的动词不定式,比如这句话的结构就是see sth.light up。

语言点2:light up常指“得意洋洋”,在此句中作face的宾语补足语。
