咬文嚼字

透析语法咬文嚼字：

1.With Miss Varens here and with you, we'll have quite a merry time of it.

解析1：此句中的with是“有”的意思，With Miss Varens here and with you意思是“有Varens小姐在和有你在”。

解析2：quiet这个副词在此句子中做程度状语，修饰形容词merry。用它修饰形容词时，它位于不定冠词前面，不要位于形容词前面。Quite a merry time不要用作a quite merry time。

解析3：have quite a merry time of it中of it是修饰time，it指代今年的冬天，度过今天冬天的愉快时光。

2.I'm sure that last winter, and what a severe one it was, if it didn't rain it snowed, if it didn't snow it blew.

解析：I'm sure that从语法的角度去看that后的从句是补语从句， that last winter, and what a severe one it was, if it didn't rain it snowed, if it didn't snow it blew是补充说明sure的情况。

3.When spring finally came, I thought it a great relief I hadn't gone distracted.

解析1：这个一个含有时间状语从句的复合句。主句是I thought it a great relief I hadn't gone distracted，从句是When spring finally came。

解析2：主句中含有同位语从句，同位词是relief，同位语从句是I hadn't gone distracted，这里省略了引导词that。这个同位语从句补充说明名词relief的具体内容。春天的来临对于Fairfax来说是一种心理上不悦的解脱，这种解脱具体是什么呢？是春来的到来没有使她没有心烦意乱，心情恢复平静。

4.I've had Martha lay a fire.

解析：had Martha lay a fire中have是使役动词，它做谓语的结构是have sb do sth。再如：I have John bring you a cup of hot coffee.
