第二、語法點撥

1. Tess did not watch him go

點撥：watch這個感官動詞后面皆有人的賓語，那么，它后面再接動詞的話，這個動詞所表示的動作已經完成了的話，就用動詞原形。如果正在進行，就用現在分詞。動詞原形和現在分詞都是做賓語的補足語。

2. Tess felt even sadder than the autumn sadness which surrounded her．

點撥：which surrounded her是定語從句修飾名詞the autumn sadness。

第三、口語表達

講解：表示某人氣得很早，可以說為：You are up early.
