第四、寫作語匯

in late October:在十月下旬
that June day:六月的那天
第五、語法點(diǎn)撥
1. Carrying a heavy basket and bundle, Tess was walking towards the hills which divided her from the Vale, her place of birth.
要點(diǎn)解析1:換線部分1是現(xiàn)在分詞短語作伴隨狀況狀語。
要點(diǎn)解析2:劃線部分2是指代物且在定語從句中做賓語的關(guān)系代詞which引導(dǎo)的定語從句修飾先行詞hills。
此外,定語從句中的her place of birth是做Vale的同位語。
2. She walked up the same hill which d"Urberville had driven down so wildly that June day.
要點(diǎn)解析:劃線部分是指代物且在定語從句中做賓語的關(guān)系代詞which引導(dǎo)的定語從句修飾先行詞修飾先行詞hill。
3. On reaching the top of the hill, Tess paused and looked for a long time at the familiar green world of home.
要點(diǎn)解析:on+現(xiàn)在分詞短語這個結(jié)構(gòu)表示時間,可以翻譯為“一.......就......”。文中的on reaching the top of hill意思就是“一到達(dá)山頂時就......”很典型的另外一個例子還有:on hearing the news, ... (一聽到消息就......。)。
