语段精讲
1. When he had gone, Tess felt again how stupid she must appear to him．
要点解析：appear在这里是系动词，意思是“显得”。Appear+adj.+to sb.这个结构表示“在某人心中显得.......”“对于某人来说显得.......”。
2. She first asked the dairyman if Mr Clare was interested in old families who had lost their money and land．
要点解析：be interested in的意思是对某人或某物或某事件感兴趣。例如：
He is interested in the issues of crime and criminology. 他对犯罪及犯罪学方面的问题感兴趣。
We all are interested in the status of world affairs. 我们都关心世界形势。
3. After hearing this not very accurate view of Clare's opinions，poor Tess was glad she had not mentioned her ancestors．
要点解析：after hearing this not very accurate view of Clare's opinions是现在分词短语作时间状语，after可以省略的。
