每日睡前床頭物語，讓您的生活質(zhì)量更高。

經(jīng)典語段：

There was no one to look after the baby in the workhouse. So Oliver was sent to a special “baby farm” nearby.

在濟(jì)貧院里沒有專人照顧嬰兒，所以奧利弗被送進(jìn)了附近一家專門的“育嬰堂”。

There, he and thirty other children rolled around the floor all day, without the inconvenience of too much food or too much clothing.

在這里，奧利弗與其他三十多個(gè)孩子每天在地上滾爬著，沒有過多的衣物和食物來“麻煩”他們。

Mrs Mann, the old woman who “l(fā)ooked after” them, was very experienced．

曼太太“照顧”著這些孩子，這老女人非常有經(jīng)驗(yàn)。

She knew what was good for children, and a full stomach was very dangerous to their health. She also knew what was good for herself, so she kept for her own use the money that she was given for the children’s food.

她知道什么對孩子們有好處，知道吃飽肚子對孩子們的身體是非常有害的。同時(shí)她也知道什么對她自己有好處，于是她把人家給孩子們的伙食費(fèi)都留給自己。

The board responsible for the orphans sometimes checked on the health of the children, but They always sent the beadle. a kind of local policeman, to announce their visit the day before.
負(fù)責(zé)孤兒事務(wù)的地方董事會(huì)有時(shí)會(huì)來檢查孩子們的健康狀況，可他們往往在前一天派執(zhí)事去通告他們要來訪問，執(zhí)事是一種地方警察。

So whenever the board arrived, of course, the children were always neat and clean．

所以，無論他們什么時(shí)候來，孩子們準(zhǔn)是個(gè)個(gè)頭凈腳凈的。

第四、語法講解

1. She also knew what was good for herself, so she kept for her own use the money that she was given for the children’s food.

要點(diǎn)解析：句中的the money that she was given for the children’s food是這個(gè)句子的賓語，因?yàn)樗灰粋€(gè)定語從句“that she was given for the children’s food”修飾它而使這個(gè)賓語很長，為了平衡句子結(jié)構(gòu)就將之放于句尾。

2. The board responsible for the orphans sometimes checked on the health of the children, but they always sent the beadle, a kind of local policeman, to announce their visit the day before.

要點(diǎn)解析：句中的responsible for the orphans是形容詞性短語，由于responsible后面接有介詞短語for the orphan，必須將之放于被修飾詞后做后置定語。
