Mr Bean
Mr Bean is an internationally recognised comedy① character in films and TV series.He has a reputation for② constantly encountering③ awkward④ situations,which greatly amuses⑤ audiences of all nationalities and cultures 【1】.His humour is always made clear⑥ through a series of simple and funny acts that rely purely⑦ on⑧ body language that is universal⑨.【2】
【1】画线部分是which引导的非限制性定语从句,修饰前面的整个句子。
【2】画线部分的主干是His humour is always made clear;介词短语through...universal作方式状语,其中第一个that引导的定语从句,修饰先行词acts,第二个that引导的定语从句,修饰先行词body language。
One of my favourite episodes⑩ was Mr Bean in a fancy restaurant⑪.After being seated at his table,Mr Bean takes out a card,writes a few words on it,puts it in an envelope and places it on the table.After a moment,he looks back at the envelope but this time he looks surprised,as if he did not know it was there 【3】.He opens it to find a birthday card and very happily puts it on the table for everyone to see.
【3】画线部分是as if引导的方式状语从句,其谓语部分使用了虚拟语气。此处表示与现在事实相反的情况,用了一般过去时。如果要表示与过去事实相反的情况,从句的谓语要用过去完成时。
When he looks at the menu,an astonished⑫ look quickly appears on his face.He takes all the money out of his wallet,counts it and puts it in
