第四、语法点拨
1. The only thing he had to eat was his piece of bread and some water which he begged from houses near the road.
要点解析1:第一处划线部分是先行性定语从句,修饰thing。Thing的前面有only这个词修饰,引导定语从句的关系代词只能用that,由于是做宾语,这里省略了that,不要用which。
要点解析2:第二处划线部分是限定性定语从句,修饰先行词water。先行词water在定语从句中做宾语,这里使用关系代词which来引导定于从句,也可以用that。
2. He slept the first night in a field, feeling lonely, tired, cold and hungry.
要点解析:划线部分是现在分词短语做伴随状况状语。
3. He was even hungrier the next morning when he woke up...
要点解析:换线部分even hungrier中的even是副词,在这里修饰形容词比较级hungrier。
4. His legs were so weak that they shook beneath him.
要点解析1:so that在这句话中使用如下:主语+谓语+so+形容词+that+结果状语从句。
要点解析2:在文学用语中,表示“在......下”,用beneath比under更具品位。
5. But he could not see how these would help him get to London any faster....
要点解析1:第一处划线部分注意这个短语结构help somebody do something,do something做somebody的补足语,但是用动词原形。
要点解析2:第二处划线部分any faster中的any修饰副词fast的比较级fast。
