语段精讲

1. The work continued all morning,and Tess began to glance towards the hill．

短语窜烧：all morning：整个早上 glance towards：向......扫视

词汇精讲：glance：瞥一眼; 看一下 e.g. She glanced shyly at him and then lowered her eyes. 她羞怯地偷看了他一下, 随即垂下眼帘。

2. At eleven o"clock a group of children came over the hill．

短语精讲：come over：过来 e.g. I thought you might like to come over here. 我想你和小华或许会愿意过来。

文中的come over the hill意思是“翻山而来，翻山过来”。

3. Tess blushed a little,but still did not pause in her work．

语法点拨：a little在这里是副词性短语，修饰谓语动词blush。

词汇精讲：blush：vi. 脸红

它的搭配模式有：blush at something和blush with something，意思是“（因某事物）脸红:”。例如： She blushed at the thought of her stupid mistake. 她因想到自己干的蠢事而脸红。John blushes with embarrassment. 约翰因难堪等而脸红。

妙笔生花：pause in one’s hand：停止手中的活计

4. The eldest child carried in her arms a baby in long clothes．

妙笔生花：carry sb. /sth. in one’s arm：手中抱着某人或某物

语法点拨：文中把carry后面的宾语放到了句尾，因为宾语a baby的后面还有介词短语in long clothes在修饰它。为平衡句子结构，就放于句尾。这里的in是“穿”的意思。

5. Tess also sat down, some way from the others．

短语精讲：some way form sb：离某人有一段距离 e.g. At the party Mary did not sit next to John, some way from him. 在晚会上，玛丽没有坐在约翰的旁边，离他有一段距离。
