第三、語法點撥

1. The boys went down to breakfast, which the girl Charlotte had made for them.

解析：換線部分是非限定性定語從句，修飾先行詞breakfast。

2. Oliver sat alone in the corner,eating old bits of bread.

解析：劃線部份為現在分詞短語做伴隨狀況狀語。

3. Charlotte and Noah both started laughing loudly.

解析：start是及物動詞，后面接動詞要跟動名詞形式。

4. ... and to make the new boy"s life a misery.

解析1：劃線部分的結構是make+something+something，意思是“使某件事情成為什么情況”。文中的make the boy’s life a misery的意思是“讓這個男孩的生活不幸”。

解析2：misery在這款是可數名詞，作為可數名詞，其意思是“痛苦的事情”“不幸的事情”。例如：the miseries of unemployment（失業的痛苦）。
