第四、语法点拨

1. As soon as Mr Bumble came out,Noah cried,

要点解析：划线部分是有符合连词as soon as引导的时间状语从句，意思是“一.......就......”；“刚......便......”。再如：

I'll write you as soon as I get there. 我一到那儿，就给你写信。

2. It’s the meat that’s caused this, you know.

要点解析：这个句式是倒装句，结构是It+系动词+被强调部分+that+其他成分。这个句子强调的是主语the meat。You know是作为插入语。

3. Back in the workhouse this would never have happened.

要点解析：这句话是省略if的非真实条件虚拟句。主句用到的是would never have happened，这是对事情的主观猜测，并不是事实。
