(单词翻译:单击)

啃嚼语段:

"One would think you were a queen as well as being one of the real d’Urbervilles

“人们会认为你是个王后,就像认为你是一个真正的德伯家族的人一样!

Well,Tess dear, I suppose I'm a bad sort of man.

哦,亲爱的苔丝,我想我大概是个坏人。

I've always been one, and I always will be one.

我一直是个坏人,将来也一直会是。

But I promise I won't be bad to you again.

但是我保证再也不对你做什么坏事了。

And if anything should happen—you understand—if you are in any trouble or need anything, just drop me a line and I'll send by return whatever you want."

如果有任何事情发生——你明白——如果你遇到任何麻烦或需要任何东西,来封短信就行了,我会送来你想要的任何东西。”

She stepped down from the carriage and was going to leave him,when he stopped her and said,"

她从车上迈下来,正准备离他而去,他拦住了她,说道:

You're not going to turn away from me like that,dear?Come,let me kiss you!"

“亲爱的,你不会就这样离开我了,是吗?来,让我吻你一下!”

语段精讲:

第一、短语学习

1. be bad to sb

讲解:bad在这个短语中的意思是“不道德的;邪恶的”的意思。表示对某人怀有邪念,怀有不好的目的伤害某人,可以用be bad to somebody。

2. in trouble

讲解:trouble作为“困境”这个意思解释时,是不可数名词,in trouble的意思是“倒霉,陷入困境”。

范例:If you get in trouble, don't hesitate to ask for advice.

如果碰到麻烦, 要赶紧向人求教。

I didn't think to land myself in trouble.

我没想到会使自己陷入困境。

3. drop me a line:写信

范例:Please drop me a line whenever you have time.

无论什么时候你有时间,请惠我短信。

Drop me a line to say when you're coming.

给我写封短信告诉我你来的时间。

4. by return:立即(答复)

范例:We are looking forward to your favourable reply by return.

我们盼望着你方速来的好消息。

This is the third time I have written to you about my complaint and I would appreciate a reply by return.

这是我第3次写信给你提出我的投诉,我希望你能马上答复。

5. turn away from:转过脸去不看......

范例:How can you turn away from a child that is being cruelly treated?

你怎么能看着孩子惨遭折磨而无动于衰?

How can you turn away from a soldier who was wounded?

你怎么能对一个受伤的战士不闻不问呢?

第二、语法点拨

1. One would think you were a queen as well as being one of the real d’Urbervilles

要点解析:这句话主句和从句都使用了虚拟语气,主句是would,从句是were。

要点解析:as well as在这里做连词用,后面接的是动名词短语。

2. And if anything should happen—you understand—if you are in any trouble or need anything, just drop me a line and I'll send by return whatever you want.

要点解析:第一处划线部分使用了虚拟语气,表示对未来的事情的猜测。
