第三、语法点拨

1. Perhaps in the past, rolling home after a battle, Tess's ancestors, the real d"Urbervilles, had done the same, even more cruelly to young country girls．

要点解析1：rolling home after a battle是现在分词短语作时间状语。

要点解析2：the the real d"Urbervilles做ancestor的同位语。

2. Why do the bad so often ruin the good？

要点解析：bad和good都是形容词，在其前面加上定冠词the后，就变为名词，the bad是指“坏人，不道德的人”，the good是指“好人善良的人”。

3. And from now on,Tess's life was to be completely different．

要点解析：这个句子的谓语是be+动词不定时，表示将来要做的事情。句子中时过去将来时态：was to be...。
