語段精講
1. In the next few weeks, however, she became more cheerful, and went to church one Sunday morning.
短語積累1:in the next few weeks:在接下來的幾周里 e.g. We will decide on the way forward in the next few weeks.(我們會在未來數星期內,決定我們的未來路向。)
短語積累2:go to church:去教堂做禮拜 e.g. She made me go to church in a silk hat and a frock-coat.(她強拉著我戴著絲綢帽子,穿著大禮服去做禮拜。)
詞匯釋義:cheerful:興高采烈的; 精神振奮的; 快樂的 e.g. Mary gave us a cheerful smile.(瑪麗朝著我們歡快地笑了笑。)
2. She loved listening to the well-known tunes, and gave herself up to the beauty of the music.
妙筆生花:Sb gives himself to the beauty of the music.(某人沉醉于美妙的音樂中。)
語法點撥:love listening to the well-known tunes中用到的是love doing something。動詞love后面接的是動名詞形式listening。這個用法是表示是目前暫時的動作,而不是經常性的動作。苔絲只是在壓抑的這段時間喜歡聽,而不是她總是喜歡聽。
短語積累:well-known tunes:名曲
3. She wondered at the composer's power.
加分短語:wonder at something ( or somebody ):對......感到驚訝 e.g. I wonder at her rudeness.(我對她的粗魯感到驚訝。)I wonder at your patience.(你的耐心使我驚異。)
4. From the grave he could make a girl like her, who had never known him, feel extremes of emotion.
語法點撥:like her是介詞短語修飾girl,who had never know him是非限定性定語從句修飾girl。
詞匯釋義:extreme在這里做可數名詞用,表示“極端不同的感情﹑ 狀況”。e.g. Love and hate are extremes of passion.(愛與恨是感情的兩個極端。)They are the extremes of misery and bliss.(他們是悲慘與極樂天壤之別的境遇。)文中的feel extremes of emotion意思是“感受到無限的激情”。
語法點撥:make a girl like her, who had never known him, feel extremes of emotion中,把定語成分去掉,就是make a girl feel extremes of emotion。動詞make后面跟有賓語,后面再接動詞的話,使用動詞的原形。
5. She sat in a quiet,dark corner listening to the service.
語法點撥:listening to the service是現在分詞作伴隨狀況狀語。
6. But when the village people arrived at church they noticed her and started whispering to each other.
加分短語:arrive at:到達(小地方)e.g. He arrived at home very late.(他很晚才到家。)whisper to sb:對......竊竊私語 e.g. She once heard him whisper to another girl.(她曾聽到他對另外一個女孩說悄悄話。)
語法點撥:表示開始做一件事情是,start是做為及物動詞,后面接動詞的話,就要接動名詞。
7. She knew what they were saying and realized she could come to church no more.
加分句式:Sb cannot do something no more.(某人不能再做某事。)
句式中的no more相當于not any more。但是使用no more時,要放置于句尾。e.g. He is determined to delay no more.(他下決心不再拖延。)
