1. At half-past one Mrs Durbeyfield came into the bedroom where Tess and all the children slept.
点拨:where Tess and all the children slept是定语从句,所修饰的先行词是bedroom,它表示地点,在定语从句中做状语,所以用where引导。
2. Maybe a young man would go?
点拨:would在这里表示“猜测”。
3. It was eleven o’clock before all the family were in bed,
点拨:“It+系动词+时间+before+句子。”表示“什么时间之前就做某事了”。
It was eight o’clock before I set off for school. 八点钟之前我就去上学了。
4. It was a distance of twenty or thirty miles on bad roads to Casterbridge,where the Saturday market was held.
点拨:where the Saturday market was held是非线性性定语从句,修饰先行词Casterbridge,补充说明那个地方的习俗习惯。
