Mr. James Scott has a garage in Silbury and now he has just bought another garage in Pinhurst. Pinhurst is only five miles from Silbury, but Mr. Scott cannot get a telephone for his new garage, so he has just bought twelve pigeons. Yesterday, a pigeon carried the first message from Pinburst to Silbury. The bird covered the distance in three minutes. Up to now, Mr. Scott has sent a great many requests for spare parts and other urgent messages from one garage to the other. In this way, he has begun his own private 'telephone' service.

新概念英语－翻译
詹姆斯·斯科特先生在锡尔伯里有一个汽车修理部，现在他刚在平赫斯特买了另一个汽车修理部。平赫斯特离锡尔伯里只有5英里，但詹姆斯·斯科特先生未能为他新的汽车修理部搞到一部电话机，所以他买了12只鸽子。昨天，一只鸽子把第一封信从平赫斯特带到锡尔伯里。这只鸟只用了3分钟就飞完了全程。到目前为止，斯科特先生从一个汽车修理部向另一个发送了大量索取备件的信件和其他紧急函件。就这样，他开始了自己的私人“电话”业务。
小编笔记：
- 文中的garage是说汽修厂、汽修店那种之类对外进行服务的地方，而garage还有一个意思是车库，车库可是一个神奇的地方，流传最广的说法是Steve Jobs cofounded Apple in his parents' garage in 1976， 乔布斯和他的朋友在其父母的车库里合伙创立了苹果公司。。
- cover是一个常用的词
- 此外，这里又有一个private私人的与第一课呼应，免得大家忘记这个词了
- service也是常用商务词汇。
从语法的角度，本课重点的语法是现在完成时，have/has done sth, 比如，he has just bought another garage, he has just bought twelve pigeons, he has send requests, he has begun his own service
现在完成时 [ have/has done] 主要用于以下两种情况 : 1, 表示在过去不确定的时间里发生的并与现在有着某种联系的动作 2, 表示开始于过去并持续到现在的动作 ;
