Step 4. Explanations
(1) I only laid the table. 我只是摆好餐桌。lay the table 摆桌子(准备吃饭)也可以用lay breakfast/lunch/supper，意为“摆好桌子(吃早饭/中饭/晚饭)”。 The girl came in and laid the table for supper. 那女孩进来摆桌子吃晚饭。 注意及物动词lay的过去式和过去分词都是laid，而不及物动词lie的过去式是lay，与及物动词lay的原形相同，lie 的过去分词是lain，试比较：
The typhoon laid the crops flat. 台风使庄稼倒伏了。
They have laid the carpet over the floor. 他们在地上铺了地毯。
The little cat lay on the grass, playing with herself. 小猫躺在草地上，自个儿玩着。
(2) Quite by accident. 纯属偶然。by accident 意为“碰巧”，相当于accidentally, by chance,如：I discovered the fossil quite by accident. 我发现这块化石纯属偶然。
by 除了可以引导交通类的方式状语外，还可以构成一些习语，如：
I took his umbrella by mistake. 我错拿了他的伞。
