第二、陷阱短语:
1. go on by wagon to Trantridge:继续做着马车到Trantridge
陷阱提示 1:on在这里是副词,非介词,意思是“继续”。
陷阱提示 2:By wagon表示方式,意思是“乘坐马车”,to是介词,to Trantrible表示地点,要表示“通过什么方式到某地”,注意语序,方式位于地点前面,再如:go by plane to London(乘坐飞机到伦敦)。
陷阱提示 3:by+名词,表示乘坐什么交通工具,这个名词前不要加任何冠词。
2. her only world:她的唯一的世界
陷阱提示:当物主代词和表示程度的形容词修饰同一个名词时,物主代词位于形容词前面。这个短语中her是物主代词,only是表示程度的形容词。
第三、写作表达:
1. be far outside the valley:远离这个山谷
注解:outside在此是介词,意思是“在......之外”,outside the valley意思是“在山谷外”,far是形容词,那么,far outside the valley直译是“在山谷之外很远的地方”,意译为:远离这个山谷。
2. have the knowledge:拥有知识,有学问
注解:表示“知道......”,在短语的后面用介词of即可。
3. in the village school:在山村小学
4. a year or two earlier:一两年前
注解:表示一两年前,时间+early的比较级。同样,一两年后,时间+late的比较级。
5. earn a little money:挣一点钱
注解:a little在这里是形容词性短语,修饰名词money,意思是“一点点的”。
6. make butter:做黄油
注解:make在这里的意思是“做”,像make cake意思就是做蛋糕。
7. milk cows:挤牛奶
注解:milk在这里做动词用,具体用法请见第二页的词汇精学。
8. in the fields:在田地里
