小編絮語：

每日床頭啃一段語篇，您的生活質(zhì)量更高。

經(jīng)典段落：

"What？" he asked at last， in a faint voice．

“什么？”他終于回過味來，用無力的聲音問道。

"Please， sir，" replied Oliver， "I want some more."

“勞駕，先生，”奧利弗又說了一遍，“我還想要一點(diǎn)兒。”

The master hit him with the serving spoon，then seized Oliver"s arms and shouted for the beadle．The beadle came quickly，heard the dreadful news，and immediately ran to tell the board．

管事的用盛粥的勺子向奧利弗打去，過后又抓住他的胳膊大聲地叫喚著執(zhí)事。執(zhí)事馬上趕來了，得知了這件可怕的事，并立即跑去向董事會(huì)匯報(bào)。

"He asked for more？" Mr Limbkins，the fattest board member， asked in horror． "Bumble - is this really true？"

“他想要更多的飯吃？”董事會(huì)頭號(hào)大胖子利姆金斯先生震驚地問，“班布爾——難道真是這樣嗎？”

"That boy will be hanged！" said the man who earlier had called Oliver a fool． "You see if I"m not right．"

“這孩子將來是要上絞刑架的！”起初說奧利弗是個(gè)傻子的那位先生嚷嚷著，“你就看我說得對(duì)不對(duì)吧。”

Oliver was led away to be locked up，and a reward was offered to anybody who would take him away and use him for work.

奧利弗被帶走，鎖在一間屋子里。董事會(huì)宣布，誰把這孩子領(lǐng)去干活，誰就會(huì)得到獎(jiǎng)賞。

語段精講：

第一、詞匯精講

seize

雙語釋義：take hold of (sth) suddenly and violently

[vt.] 抓住

典型例句：She seized me by the wrist.

她抓住我的手腕。

He seized the bag and ran off with it.

他把那個(gè)包搶跑了。

第二、寫作加分短語

1. in a + adj. +voice

講解：該短語的意思是“以......的聲音”，文中用到的是in a faint voice，意思是“用微弱的聲音”“以有氣無力的聲音”。Faint做形容詞用時(shí)，可以表示“迷糊的，微弱的”意思。往期中我們總結(jié)了一個(gè)短語是in a loud voice，意思是“大聲地，用響亮的聲音”。

范例：John’s girlfriend said in a faint, far voice that she wanted to break up with him and she can noticed the shock in his sensitive face.

約翰的女朋友聲音低沉而遼遠(yuǎn)地說要和他分手，她在他敏感的臉上看出了震驚的表情。

2. ask for

講解：這個(gè)短語的意思是“要求，請(qǐng)求”。介詞for表示對(duì)象。

范例：He had the audacity to ask for an increase in salary.

他竟然厚著臉皮要求增加薪水。

He ask for leave of absence to visit his mother in hospital.

他請(qǐng)假去探望住院的母親。

3. shout for

講解：這個(gè)短語表示“大聲呼喊叫來某人”，介詞for表示原因，因?yàn)椋ㄐ枰┠橙耍ǖ膸椭┒舐暫艉埃ê敖校＝樵~for后面可以接somebody，也可以接something。

范例：Once more he raised his voice in a shout for help.

講解：這個(gè)短語的介詞to后面可以接somebody，也可以接something，意思是向某處或某人跑去。

范例：Gregory bounded up and ran to the door.

格雷戈一躍而起，朝門口奔去。

The children came running to us.

孩子們向我們跑來。

5. in horror：恐懼地，害怕地

瑪麗利用自的姿色去勾引這個(gè)富人。
