Grammarfocus語法1.

Peoplearenotsohonestastheyoncewere.

人們不像以前那樣誠實了。這是一個比較狀語從句。句中notso+adj.+as這個結(jié)構(gòu)表示沒有……那么……。和notas+adj.+as這個結(jié)構(gòu)表達的意思相同。如：Heisnotsotallashisfather.=Heisnotastallashisfather.他沒有他父親高。notso/as+adj.+as的結(jié)構(gòu)也可以和than引導(dǎo)的比較級的句子進行替換。如：Heisnotastallashisfather.=Heislesstallthanhisfather.Peoplearenotsohonestastheyoncewere.=Peoplearelesshonestthantheyoncewere.2.

Thetemptationtostealisgreaterthaneverbefore--especiallyinlargeshops.偷竊的誘惑力比以往任何時候都要強烈--特別是在大的商店里。句中動詞不定式tosteal作為后置定語，用來修飾temptation，表示偷竊的誘惑力。又如：Thetemptationtosmokeisstrongforhim.對他來說吸煙有很強的誘惑力。3.

Adetectiverecentlywatchedawell-dressedwomanwhoalwayswentintoalargestoreonMondaymornings.

一名偵探最近注意上了一位穿著講究的婦女，她總是在星期一上午進入一家大商場。這是一個定語從句，句子whoalwayswentintoalargestoreonMondaymornings.用來修飾前面的名詞woman。well-dressed表示穿著考究的，類似的還有well-educated受過良好教育的，well-behaved行為端莊的。如：Heisawell-educatedpersonwithgoodmanners.

他是個受過良好教育、有禮貌的人。Heisawell-behavedman.他是一個舉止得體的人。4.a.OneMonday,b.therewerefewerpeopleintheshopthanusualwhenthewomancamein,c.soitwaseasierforthedetectivetowatchher.

有一個星期一，當這位婦女走進這家商場時，里面的人比往常少，因此，偵探比較容易監(jiān)視她。OneMonday是時間狀語。b句是一個由when引導(dǎo)的時間狀語從句，說明主句情況發(fā)生的時間。當這位婦女走進商場的這個時候，商場里的人比往常少。c句中的watch不是手表或觀看的意思，應(yīng)該翻譯為監(jiān)視。如：Ellawasscaredthatsomeonewaswatchingher.有個人在監(jiān)視埃拉，這讓她很害怕。5.Shechoseoneofthemostexpensivedressesintheshopandhandedittoanassistantwhowrappeditupforherasquicklyaspossible.她又選了商場里最昂貴的一件衣服，把它遞給了售貨員，那售貨員以最快的速度為她包好了衣服。整個句子是一個由and連接的并列句。and后面的句子與and前面的句子主語相同，所以為了避免重復(fù)，and后面的句子省略了主語he。原句應(yīng)該是Shehandedittoanassistantwhowrappeditupforherasquicklyaspossible.這個句子又是一個定語從句，句中whowrappeditupforherasquicklyaspossible.是用來修飾和限定前面的名詞assistant。wrapup表示包裹。如：TheChristmaspresentswerewrappedupinpaper.圣誕禮物是用紙包裹起來的。6.

Thegirl'gave'hermotherafreedressonceaweek!

那姑娘每星期“送”她母親一件免費的衣服。gave在句中打引號，是為了表示諷刺意味。不是真的送，在此應(yīng)該譯為偷。Exercises練習(xí)一.Answerthesequestions.1.WhomdidadetectivewatchinalargestoreonMonday?
