第三、語法點撥

1. The next morning he was woken up by someone kicking at the shop door.

解析：劃線部分是現(xiàn)在分詞短語做定語。

2. He opened the door with a shaking hand...

解析：介詞短語with a shaking hand做伴隨狀況狀語。介詞短語中的shaking是現(xiàn)在分詞作定語。

3. All he could see was a large boy wearing the uniform of one of the charity schools,where the children of the very poor used to go.

解析1：he could see是定語從句，修飾不定代詞all，引導(dǎo)詞只能用that，這里省略了這個引導(dǎo)詞。

解析2：wearing the uniform of one of the charity schools，where the children of the very poor used to go.

是現(xiàn)在分詞短語做后置定語，修飾boy。在這個現(xiàn)在分詞短語中，where the children of the very poor used to go是有關(guān)系副詞引導(dǎo)的非限定性定語從句，修飾表示地點的先行詞schools。

3. He was a big,clumsy boy of about fourteen, with a large head and very small eyes.

解析：換線部分是介詞短語做定語，修飾名詞boy，with在這里的意思是“具有，擁有”。

4. Added to the attractions were a red nose and dirty yellow trousers.

解析：這個句子是倒裝句。將表語added to the attractions放置句首，起到強調(diào)的作用。
