第三、语法点拨
1. Oliver went up to the master,with his bowl in his hand.
要点解析:划线部分做伴随状况状语。奥利弗向打饭的人走去,走的过程中伴随着手中拿着他自己的饭碗。
2. The master was a fat, healthy man, but he turned very pale.
要点解析1:表示体型的形容词要放于表示身体状况的形容词前面去同时修饰一个名词。Fat是“肥胖的”,指“体型”,healthy是“健康的”,指“身体状况”,fat要放于heathy之前。
要点解析2:turn在这里是系动词,表示“变得”,可以用go,become等来替换。

2. So + 形容词 + be + 主词 + that + 句子 (如此...以致于...)
