語段精講

1. Oliver wondered what the connection was between playing at stealing from the old gentleman"s pocket and becoming a great man.

短語精講：the connection between A and B：......之間的聯系 e.g. I felt the connection between you and me. 我卻覺得我們彼此之間很有緣。
The connection between you opinion and mine ideas is very remote. 這兩種想法之間的關系甚微。

語法點撥：between...and...這個短語between和and后面只接名詞或名詞性短語。因此，文中使用play和become這2個動詞的動名詞形式。

短語精講：play at：玩，做（游戲）e.g The children love to play at hide-and-seek here. 孩子們喜歡在此捉迷藏。

steal from：從......偷...... e.g There are two men in that jungle who are trying to steal from me. 在那叢林里有兩個人,他們要從我這把它偷去. 2. But he followed him quietly to the table and was soon deeply involved in his new study.

短語精講：involved in這個固定搭配的短語中的介詞in后面可以接somebody，可以接something。即：be involved in something（（與某事物）有關聯的），be involved in somebody（（與某人）有（密切）關系的）。例如：

It is involved in politics. 這個問題與與政治有關聯。

He sees her often but doesn't want to get too involved. 他常與她來往, 但不愿繾綣難分。

文中寫到的是involved in his new study，直譯為：與它的新的學習有關聯，意譯為：投入到新的學習中，卷入到新的學習中。

2. Oliver remained in Fagin"s room for many days, picking the marks and names out of the handkerchieves and sometimes playing the same game as before.

寫作語庫：Somebody remains somewhere. 某人一直在某處。例如：

My students remained in the classroom all the morning. 我的學生一個早上都在教室了沒出來。

語法點撥：and something playing the same game as before中的and something是“諸如此類的事情”的意思。它后面有個現在分詞短語playing the same game as before修飾something，是做后置定語。

語法點撥：picking the marks and names out of the handkerchieves是現在分詞短語做伴隨狀況狀語。Oliver一直在Fagin的房間里，是在除去手帕上的污跡和名字。

4. One evening two young ladies came to visit, and a very cheerful party followed.

寫作語庫：A party followed.接下來開了個派對。
