Though she hesitated for a moment, she finally went in and asked to see a dress that was in the window. | 1)though,尽管、虽然。引导的是让步状语从句。 2)hesitate,犹豫。其名词形式为hesitation。 3)that引导的是定语从句,修饰先行词a dress。 |
The assistant who served her did not like the way she was dressed. | 1)who引导的是定语从句,修饰先行词the assistant。 2)serve sb.,为某人服务、接待某人。 3)注意she was dressed其实是定语从句,用来修饰先行词the way,she前省略了in which。 4)be dressed,穿着。 |

With great difficulty, he climbed into the shop window to get the dress. As soon as she saw it, the woman said she did not like it. | 1)with great difficulty,费了好大劲儿。用作方式状语。 2)注意句中用了climbed into the shop window,说明店员的确费了很大劲儿才够着裙子,从而凸显了店员的谄媚样儿。 3)注意第二句中说到,当女士看到店员爬进橱窗后,马上又说自己不喜欢那条裙子,报复的心理终于得到满足了。 |
She enjoyed herself making the assistant bring almost everything in the window before finally buying the dress she had first asked for. | 1)enjoy oneself doing,开心得做某事。 2)make sb. do sth.,让某人做某事。注意make sb.后面接动词时,不能接to do的用法。但除了make sb. do sth.之外,也可以用make sb. doing/done的用法。 3)before finally buying...,before后面直接接了doing,其实是省略了相同的主语she,其原形应该是:before she finally bought...。 4)she had first asked for用作定语从句,修饰先行词the dress,中间省略了关系代词that或which。 |
四、读写重点
