1.It all served to fog my mind with pleasure so that I forgot my Grandpa's repeated warnings, and one night left Maheegun unchained.
【难句解析】serve (only) to do sth.意思是“对...起作用,导致”;leave +n.+v-ed/adj./prep, 导致(使)...保持一种状态或位置,过去分词、形容词、介词短语做宾语补
足语,表示宾语的现状、状态或某一动作的结果。
2.The following morning in sailed Mrs. Yesno, wild with anger, who demanded Maheegun be shot because he had killed her rooster.
【难句解析】句子的前半部分为修辞倒装,正常语序为Mrs. Yesno sailed in,将与介词同形的副词移到句首,而把谓语放在主语后面,使描绘显得更为生动。
