第四、语法点拨

1. Oliver stayed a prisoner alone in the dark room for a week.

要点解析：stay在这句话中是指“continue a certain state”，是指“保持某种状态”。它后面可以接名词，也可以接形容词。例如：
He never stays sober for long. 他不醉的时候不多。

They stayed friends for years. 他们的友谊维持了多年。

2. He was given freezing water to wash with...

要点解析：to wash with是动词不定式修饰名词water，意思是“用冰冷的水洗漱”，介词with在这里的意思是“用”，表示方式。
