第二、寫作表達:
1. noble blood:貴族血統
2. ask for some help in our trouble:請求幫忙解決我們的苦難
3. wouldn't like to:不愿意,不喜歡
注解:這是would like to的否定式,在would后面加上否定詞not。
4. like my children asking for help:喜歡我的孩子去求助
注解:like somebody doing something,這里like的后面使用現在分詞,是指“不喜歡某人現在做某事”。文中是說道苔絲的父親不喜歡苔絲現在去找她們所認為的貴族親戚幫他們解決苦難,所以用doing,不用動詞不定式to do。
5. accept his reasons for not going:接受不去的理由
注解:介詞for后跟的是動名詞,但是是否定結構的動名詞。
6. start thinking about her finding a husband for me:開始想靠她幫我找丈夫
注解:start doing something意思是“開始做某事”,start后面接動名詞。介詞about是接動名詞短語——her finding a husband for me。
7. had such an idea:有此個想法(念頭)
