模块三 Unit 3 Reading
【长难句援引】
When I walked around the city, I saw streets just as they had been, with stepping stones along the road so you did not
have to step in the mud on rainy days!(P42)
【结构分析】
本句是主从复合句。I saw streets 是主句,When 引导时间状语从句,as 引导方式状语从句,with stepping stones
along the road 是 with 的复合结构作原因状语,with 的复合结构作状语时,可表示原因、时间、条件、伴随、方式等。
【参考译文】当我在城中漫步时,我看到保持原样的街道,沿路都有垫脚石,这样下雨天你就不用在泥泞中行
走了!
【翻译提示】
as they had been 方式状语从句是翻译难点。理解时要根据上下文语境调整语序,不要孤立,要融会贯通地理解
整个意群。

【长难句援引】

down and disappeared, leaving empty spaces in the ash.(P43)

句是真正主语。that 从句里又套了两个从句,after 引导的时间状语从句,其中含 who 引导的定语从句,修饰先行词
people,their bodies nearly completely broke down and disappeared 是句子主干,leaving empty spaces in the ash 是现在
分词短语作结果状语。
