第四、語法點撥

1. Then she looked behind her and saw a carriage coming up the same hill that she had just climbed, with a man leading the horse．

要點解析1：see+名詞+現在分詞這個結構表示“看見......正在做......”。文中說到的是saw the carriage coming up the same hill意思是“看見馬車正朝著同一座上駛上來”。

要點解析2：that she had just climbed是由指代物且在定語從句中做賓語的關系代詞引導的定語從句，修飾先行詞hill。

要點解析2：with a man leading the horse是由介詞with引導的獨立主格結構，表示伴隨狀況狀語。

2. They drove along, d"Urberville making conversation and Tess thinking her own thoughts．

要點解析：換線部分是獨立主格結構，做伴隨狀況狀語。
