語段精講

1. They had returned with nothing.

短語精講：with nothing：一無所獲地 e.g In my day I started with nothing. 我當初是赤手空拳起家的。There's only an empty envelope with nothing in it. 光剩了個空信封，里頭沒有信瓤兒。

2. At last, the morning came when Oliver was allowed to go out to work with the two other boys.

寫作語庫：be allowed to do something：被準許做某事 at last：最后 the two other boys：其他的2個男孩

3. There had been no handkerchieves for him to work on for several days and there was not very much to eat for dinner.

寫作句式：There is no anything for somebody to work on. 沒有什么事情給某人做。
短語精講：work on是一個固定短語，意思是“致力于，從事于”。例如：

I've been in China to work on the new project. 我一直在中國搞一個新項目。

3. The three boys set out, but they walked so slowly that Oliver thought they were not going to work at all.

短語精講：set out是個固定短語，意思是“出發，上路”。例如：

He bade his wife farewell and set out on his journey. 他辭別了妻子便啟程了。

Bitterly disappointed, Scott and his companions set out on the return journey. 斯科特和他的伙伴們十分失望，便起身踏上歸程。

寫作句式：Somebody does something so +adv. +that+從句。（某人做某事如此......以至于......）

這個句式關鍵是使用了so......that.......，that是連詞，引導結果狀語從句。例如：She is so week that he cannot defend himself. 她如此嬌弱而沒法自我防衛。

寫作語庫：on one’s return journey：在某人歸來的途中 not...at all：一點兒也不
