小編絮語：

每日床頭啃一段語篇，您的生活質(zhì)量更加高。

啃嚼語段：

One day Mr Bumble met the local undertaker, Mr Sowerberry, outside the workhouse.

一天,班布爾先生在濟(jì)貧院外面遇見了當(dāng)?shù)氐墓撞牡昀习逅鳡栘惱锵壬?/p>

"Do you know anybody who wants to train a boy for work,Mr Sowerberry？"Mr Bumble pointed at the notice on the wall above him, which offered five pounds to anybody who would take Oliver Twist for work.

“索爾貝里先生,您知道誰想要帶個學(xué)徒嗎？”班布爾指著墻上方的一個通告說。上面寫著,愿意領(lǐng)走奧利弗·特威斯特去干活的人可以得到五英鎊的獎金。

Mr Sowerberry rubbed his chin and thought for a while. "I pay enough for the poor with my taxes," he said, "so why shouldn"t I be able to make use of them in my work？ Yes, I"ll take the boy myself."

索爾貝里先生摸著下巴想了一會兒。“我納不少的稅金養(yǎng)活窮人,干嗎不讓他們?nèi)槲腋苫钅兀繉?我領(lǐng)走這孩子。”

And so the board agreed to send Oliver to work for the undertaker.The necessary papers were signed.Oliver"s small possessions were put into a brown paper parcel,and he was led to Mr Sowerberry"s house by Mr Bumble. As They walked along, tears began to run down Oliver"s face.

這樣,董事會同意讓棺材店老板領(lǐng)走奧利弗去干活。必要的手續(xù)都辦理了,奧利弗僅有的一點東西放在一個小牛皮紙包里。他由班布爾先生帶著去了索爾貝里先生家。他們一面走著,奧利弗一面又淚流滿面。

語段精講：

第一、詞匯學(xué)習(xí)

詞匯精講

1. possession

雙語釋義：thing that is possessed; property

[C.U.] 所有物；財產(chǎn)

語法用法：作為這個意思解釋時，是可數(shù)名詞，使用時通常用其復(fù)數(shù)形式。

典型范例：He lost all his possessions in the fire.

他在火災(zāi)中損失了所有的財產(chǎn)。

He came here without friends or possessions and made his fortune.

他來時舉目無親，身無長物，全憑白手起家。

2. train

雙語釋義：(cause a person or an animal to) become physically fit by exercise and diet

[Vt.]（使人或動物通過鍛煉及調(diào)理飲食）身體健康

搭配模式：~ (sb/sth) (for sth)：因......而訓(xùn)練某人或某物，訓(xùn)練某人或某物去做......

典型范例：The challenger has been training hard for the big fight.

這位健將為參加拳擊大賽奪魁而進(jìn)行堅苦的鍛煉。

He has been training this horse for a race.

他一直訓(xùn)練這批馬參加，因為要用它參加比賽。

詞匯泛講

1. notice：c.n. 布告；啟事；告示；公告

2. undertaker：c.n. 殯儀業(yè)人員；喪葬承辦人

第二、加分短語

1. point at：指向

講解：此短語的意思是“指向”。這個指向的意思可以是“指向某人”，“指向某處”，還可以表示“指向某個話題，議題，談?wù)摰膶嵸|(zhì)問題，談?wù)摰年P(guān)鍵問題”等。因此，介詞at后面可以接somebody，也可以接something。

范例：What did your words point at?

你剛才的話是什么意思？

Let’s come to the point at issue now.

我們現(xiàn)在言歸正題吧。

2. make use of ：利用

講解：這個短語的意思是“利用......”。Use在這里是作為不可數(shù)名詞，可以在其前面加上一些形容詞來表示利用的程度。例如：make good use of something（好好利用），make something to the best advantage（充分利用），make full use of something（充分利用）。

范例： We shall have to make use of the waste material and reduce the cost of production.

我們不得不要廢物利用，降低成本。

we should make use of the natural resources to the best advantage.

我們應(yīng)該為了充分利用自然資源。

第三、寫作語匯

1. offer some money to somebody：給某人多少錢

2. rub one’s chin：摸某人的下巴

3. think for a while：思索一會兒

4. pay some money for somebody：為某人付款

5. put something into something：把......放進(jìn)......

6. lead somebody to somebody：領(lǐng)著某人去見某人

8. run down one’s face：從臉上留下來

9. outside the workhouse：在屋子外面

10. on the wall：在墻上

11. in one’s work

第四、語法點撥

1. Do you know anybody who wants to train a boy for work, Mr Sowerberry

要點解析：劃線部分是先行性定語從句，它在這里修飾先行詞anybody。Anybody是不定代詞，指代人，在定語從句中做主語，要用關(guān)系代詞who，不能用that。

2. Mr Bumble pointed at the notice on the wall above him, which offered five pounds to anybody who would take Oliver Twist for work.

要點解析：劃線部分是非線性定語從句，由關(guān)系代詞which引導(dǎo)，它補(bǔ)充說明前面所提到的情況。

在這個非線性定語從句中還含有一個限定性定語從句：who would take Oliver Twist for work，它修飾先行詞anybody。先行詞是不定帶詞，在定語從句中做主語，關(guān)系代詞只能用who，不能用that。
