第二、語段精講
1. He was one of the three walking brothers who had stopped their walk to admire the May-Day dance in Marlott a few years before.
短語注釋:walking brothers:徒步旅行的兄弟 stop one’s walk:駐足,停住腳步
文法解析:who had stopped their walk to admire the May-Day dance in Marlott a few years before是限定性定語從句,修飾表示“人”且在從句中做“主語”的先行詞“brother”。
2. He had danced with some of the other girls but not with her.
文法解析:這個句子是有表示轉(zhuǎn)折的并列連詞but連接的2個并列分詞。在第二個分句中省略了同樣成分且同樣意思的詞語:had danced(謂語成分)。
2. He had not noticed her and had gone on his way.
語言要點(diǎn):go on one’s way:繼續(xù)前行,繼續(xù)上路
e.g. Annie goes on his way, driving car and turning on the radio. 安妮駕車?yán)^續(xù)上路,并且她打開收音機(jī)。
He thanked him profusely and then go on his way. 一再地向他道謝,然后繼續(xù)上路。
3. But she soon saw he did not remember her at all.
語言要點(diǎn):not at all:絲毫不......,一點(diǎn)兒也不......
I' m not at all satisfied with the present situation. 我對現(xiàn)狀一點(diǎn)也不滿足。
He was not at all nervous, for he knew what to expect. 他心里有底, 一點(diǎn)不慌。
4. Since she had seen him in Marlott,his face had grown more thoughtful.
描寫手法:這句話中采用了肖像描寫的手法“his face had grown more thoughtful(他的臉變得更為深沉)”揭露出當(dāng)時社會底層人們艱辛的生活。
5. From the time he had spent milking one cow,he was clearly a beginner at dairy work.
語言要點(diǎn):spend some time doing:花費(fèi)時間做.......
e.g. He spend all the morning playing games online. 他一個早上在網(wǎng)上玩游戲。
語言要點(diǎn)2:a beginner in something:在......是個新手,對......還不熟練
e.g. You can see John is a beginner in computer. 你可以看得出約翰在電腦操作上還是個新手。
文法解析:he had spent milking one cow是限定性定語從句,修飾表示時間的且在從句中做時間狀語的先行詞time。這個引導(dǎo)從句的關(guān)系副詞是可以省略的。
