小編絮語：
每日啃一段陽光絮語，您的生活更加精彩
經(jīng)典語段：
The room in the workhouse where the boys were fed was a large stone hall，and at one end the master and two women served the food．
濟貧院里男孩子們吃飯的地方是一間有石板墻石板地的大屋子，在屋子的一頭，管事的和兩位女傭負責給孩子們打飯。
This consisted of a bowl of thin soup three times a day, with a piece of bread on Sundays．
其實這一日三餐頓頓只是一碗稀粥，只有在星期天才加一片面包。
The boys ate everything and were always hungry．
孩子們把碗里的東西吃得一干二凈，還是饑腸轆轆。
The bowls never needed washing. The boys polished them with their spoons until they shone．
他們的碗根本不用刷洗。孩子們用勺子把碗刮得锃亮。
After three months of this slow starvation，one of the boys told the others he was so hungry that one night he might eat the boy who slept next to him．
這樣緩慢的挨餓持續(xù)了三個月后，一天，一個男孩跟別的男孩子說他太餓了，沒準哪天晚上他會吃了睡在他邊上的人。
He had a wild hungry eye，and the other boys believed him．
他那饑餓得發(fā)狂的眼神讓別的男孩無法不相信他的話。
After a long discussion，They decided that one of them should ask for more food after supper that evening，and Oliver was chosen．
經(jīng)過長時間的商量，他們決定必須有一個人在當天晚飯后，去請求多給點兒吃的。結果，奧利弗被選中了。
語段講解：
第一、詞匯精講
1. feed
雙語釋義：give food to (a person or an animal)
[vt.] 給（人或動物）食物
語法用法：~somebody ( something ) on something
典型范例：The baby can't feed itself yet.
這嬰兒還不會自己吃東西。
What do you feed your dog on?
你用什么喂狗?
2. starvation
雙語釋義：the state of suffering and death caused by having no food
[U.N.] 饑餓；餓死
典型范例：The Smiths brushed up against starvation because Mr. Smith couldn't find a job.
史密斯先生找不到工作，因此他們一家面臨饑餓。
It was a race against time to stop people dying from starvation.
為搶救那些即將餓死的人而分秒必爭。
第二、加分短語
1. consist of ：由......組成
范例：A week consist of seven days.
一星期由七天組成。
2. so ... that....：太......以至于......
范例：He was so excided that he cannot fall asleep.
他太激動了，睡不著覺。
Mary was so pleased that he forget everything else.
瑪麗高興地把一切事情都忘了。
3. next to
釋義1：靠近......的旁邊，貼近（介詞短語）
范例：He made bold advances to a woman sitting next to him.
他大膽地向坐在其身邊的女人獻殷勤。
The two shops are next to each other.
那兩家鋪子緊挨著。
釋義2：幾乎，近于（副詞短語）
范例：But of the inner Tynan he knew next to nothing.
但是他對泰納恩的內(nèi)心世界幾乎一無所知。
Papering the ceiling proved next to impossible without a ladder.
要裱糊天花板沒有梯子可以說是辦不到。
4. ask for：請求，要求
范例：Might I ask for a photograph of your little daughter?
我能要一張你小女兒的照片嗎 ?
He had the audacity to ask for an increase in salary.
他竟然厚著臉皮要求增加薪水。
第三、失分短語
1. on Sundays：在星期日
講解：表示事情一貫來就是發(fā)生在星期日，那么表示日期的名詞要加s。因此，這里使用的是Saturdays。
2. a wild hungry eye：餓得發(fā)狂的眼神（目光）
講解：eye在這里是作為“眼神，目光”的意思，這時候是不可數(shù)名詞，不要在eye的后面加s。作為眼睛來講，才是可數(shù)名詞。
3. after supper：吃完晚飯后
講解：表示晚飯后，吃完晚飯后，supper前面不要加任何冠詞。
4. polish something with something：用.......把.......擦亮
講解：用polish表示把......擦亮，表示方式的這個介詞一定要用with，不能用by,on等也可以表示方式的介詞。
第四、寫作語匯
1. in the workhouse：在救濟院里
2. serve the food：提供食物
3. three times a day：一天三餐
4. a long discussion：長時間的討論
5. a piece of：一張（片，快......）
6. thin soup：稀飯
7. at one end：在一端
8. three months of：三個月
9. slow starvation：慢慢持續(xù)著的饑餓狀況
第三、語法點撥
The room in the workhouse where the boys were fed was a large stone hall...
要點解析：劃線部分in the house是介詞短語做定語修飾room，where the boys were fed是有關系副詞where引導的定語從句做定語修飾指代地點且在定語從句中充當狀語成分的先行詞room。
