1. There were six children crowded into the tiny space.
點撥:crowded into the tiny space是過去分詞短語做后置定語。文中提到是6個小孩,這6個小孩是一個擠一個,那么個個都是被擠,crowd就和children是被動關系,所以用過去分詞短語。
2. Looking after so many children had aged Joan Durbeyfield,but she still showed some of her early prettiness,which Tess had inherited.
點撥:looking after so many children had aged Joan Durbeyfield動名詞短語做主語,which Tess had Inherited是一個非限定性定語從句,修飾前面的先行詞prettiness,補充說明苔絲母親的美貌所帶來的影響,起著的作用。
