今天我们继续读第二章,The vanishing glass(悄悄消失的玻璃)On the other hand, he'd got into terrible trouble for being found on the roof of the school kitchens. Dudley's gang had been chasing him as usual when, as much to Harry's surprise as anyone else's, there he was sitting on the chimney. The Dursleys had received a very angry letter from Harry's headmistress telling them Harry had been climbing school buildings. But all he'd tried to do (as he shouted at Uncle Vernon through the locked door of his cupboard) was jump behind the big bins outside the kitchen doors. Harry supposed that the wind must have caught him in mid-jump.另一次,哈利在学校伙房的屋顶上被发现了,这可给他惹出了很大的麻烦。达力和他的一伙跟往常一样追着哈利跑,结果哈利竟坐到了伙房的烟囱上,这使他受到的惊吓并不比别人小。德思礼夫妇收到女校长的一封信,女校长很生气,告诉他们哈利爬到学校楼顶上去了。其实哈利当时只是在伙房外边的大垃圾箱后面跳(他在上了锁的储物间里朝姨父大喊大叫时这么解释)。哈利猜想大概是风把他半路上托上去了。1. (much) to one's surprise 让某人(非常)惊讶的是
To my surprise, the plan succeeded. 我感到惊奇的是那计画竟然成功了。2. 分词做定语
分词短语做定语时,放在被修饰的名词之后,在意义上相当于一个定语从句。现在分词做定语,表示动作正在进行或与谓语动词所表示的动作几乎同时发生,或表示某个经常的动作或状态。
The Dursleys had received a very angry letter from Harry's headmistress telling them Harry had been climbing school buildings.(=which told them Harry...)The man standing at the window is our teacher. (=who stands at the window)They built a highway leading into the mountains. (=which led into the mountains)单个分词做定语时,放在被修饰的名词之前。过去分词做前置定语时表示被动,且有时有已完成的含义。
as he shouted at Uncle Vernon through the locked door of his cupboard
I don't like to eat fried eggs. 我不喜欢吃煎蛋。
boiled water 开水
required courses 必修课
furnished room 有家具的房间
a written report 书面报告
某些不及物动词的过去分词做定语时,表示主动,且有完成的含义。departed friends 离去的朋友
retired workers 退休工人
fallen leaves 落叶
an arrived visitor 一位来客
an escaped prisoner 一个逃犯
3. 虚拟语气在suppose (that) 引导的表示假设的从句中的应用 用过去时指现在或将来,用过去完成时指过去Suppose he asked you to marry him, what would you say? 如果他向你求婚,你怎么想?
Supposing your parents had refused, how would you have felt? 如果你的父母拒绝了,你有什么感受?
must have + 过去分词 表示对过去的猜测。
Harry supposed that the wind must have caught him in mid-jump.
You must have met him yesterday.He must have received my letter which was mailed last week.今天分享了三个小语法点,分词做定语是语法填空比较常考的点,如果掌握的好,也可以为写作增加亮点。虚拟语气考察的比较少了,但是如果出现在阅读文章中,同学们要能够理解句子的意思。
