第四、語法點撥

1. ... alone in the room with the coffins,Oliver cried bitter, lonely tears．

要點解析：劃線部分為形容詞短語做伴隨狀況狀語。

2. He ran up the street and through the town as far as the main road, where he saw a sign that told him it was just seventy miles from there to London.

要點解:1：換線部分where he saw a sign that told him it was just seventy miles from there to London是非線性定語從句，修飾先行詞road。

要點解析2：在這個非限定性定語從句中，that told him it was just seventy miles from there to London是同位語從句，同為詞是sign，在這里補充說明sign上面寫著的是什么內容。

3. ... and that there was always work there for those that wanted it．

要點解析：換線部分是限定性定語從句。注意先行詞是個特殊的指示代詞those，它在定語從句中充當主語，因此，引導詞只能用that，不能用who。
