1.Instead, you have spent a dull evening in a French music hall with a sloppy fat man who, instead of having messages slipped into his hand by dark-eyed beauties, gets only an ordinary telephone call making an appointment in his room.
【参考译文】但是,你将同一个脏兮兮又肥胖的男人在一个法国杂耍戏院度过一个无聊的晚上,没有黑眼睛的美人儿悄悄地把情报塞入他的手中,他只不过接了个普通的电话,约定在他房间里会面。
【结构解析】该句主要结构是:You…spent a whole evening…with a fat man…。句中的关系代词who引出定语从句修饰man。在该定语从句中,介词短语instead of having message slipped into…beauties与从句谓语动词gets…telephone和分词短语making…in his room表示该定语从句中按时间顺序发生的三个动作。
