Smash and grab
咋橱窗抢劫
The expensive shops in a famous arcade near Piccadilly were just opening. At this time of the morning, the arcade was almost empty. Mr Taylor, the owner of a jewellery shop was admiring a new window display. Two of his assistants had been working busily since 8 oclock and had only just finished. Diamond necklaces and rings had been beautifully arranged on a background of black velvet. After gazing at the display for several minutes, Mr Taylor went back into his shop.
The silence was suddenly broken when a large car, with its headlights on and its horn blaring, roared down the arcade. It came to a stop outside the jewelers. One man stayed at the wheel while two others with black stockings over their faces jumped out and smashed the window of the shop with iron bars. While this was going on, Mr Taylor was upstairs. He and his staff began throwing furniture out of the window. Chairs and tables went flying into the arcade. One of the thieves was struck by a heavy statue, but he was too busy helping himself to diamonds to notice any pain. The raid was all over in three minutes, for the men scrambled back into the car and it moved off at a fantastic speed. Just as it was leaving, Mr Taylor rushed out and ran after it throwing ashtrays and vases, but it was impossible to stop the thieves. They had got away with thousands of pounds
worth of diamonds.

语言点1:句子结构分析:when引导时间状语从句，with引导独立主格结构，作伴随状语。

语言点2:break一词如果能够恰当地用在写作中，会起到令人叫绝的作用:

（1）break one's heart 伤了某人的心
（2）break the ice 打破僵局
（3）day break 黎明
（4）as day breaks 拂晓时分

8. It came to a stop outside the jewelers.
在珠宝店门口停了下来。

语言点1:句子结构分析:it 指代上文中的car。Come to a stop为固定搭配。

语言点2:短语come to a stop中的stop为名词，其表达的意思与动词stop相同。还有些动词也能转换成此种短语，其构成方式是在这个动词或它的名词形式前面加上come to a/an

例如:
(1)halt come to a halt 停止
(2)end come to an end 结束
(3)close come to a close 结束

例句支持:

Work comes to a stop when the company can not pay the workers wages.公司不能支付工人工资时，就停工了。

9. One man stayed at the wheel while two others with black stockings over their faces jumped out and smashed the window of the shop with iron bars.

一个人留在驾驶座上，另外两个用黑色长筒丝袜蒙面的人跳下车来。他们用铁棒把商店橱窗玻璃砸碎。
语言点:句子结构分析:while引导时间状语从句，交代同时发生的两个不同的动作。with black stockings over their faces为介词短语，作后置定语，修饰two others。And并列连接“跳出”和“砸”两个动作。短语with iron bars为方式状语，补充说明砸窗户的方式。
