第四、語法點(diǎn)撥
1. Oliver stayed a prisoner alone in the dark room for a week.
要點(diǎn)解析:stay在這句話中是指“continue a certain state”,是指“保持某種狀態(tài)”。它后面可以接名詞,也可以接形容詞。例如:
He never stays sober for long. 他不醉的時(shí)候不多。
They stayed friends for years. 他們的友誼維持了多年。
2. He was given freezing water to wash with...
要點(diǎn)解析:to wash with是動(dòng)詞不定式修飾名詞water,意思是“用冰冷的水洗漱”,介詞with在這里的意思是“用”,表示方式。
