Notes on the text 课文注释
I.在英文中表示过去某时正在进行的动作,要用过去进行时。与现在进行时相比,过去进行时的区别
就在于要用be的过去式,过去进行时的例子有:When my husband was going into the dining room
this morning . . . ; While we were having breakfast...等。
2.them all, all用来强调每一个硬币o从语法上来讲,all是them的同位语0紧跟在一个名词或代词 后,进一步说明前面名词或代词是谁或什么东西的名词或代词,叫同位语。
3.our little boy, Tommy,
Tommy是boy的同位语
Notes on the text 课文注释
4.put them both
both是them的同位语
5/we both
both是we的同位语
6.Tommy had already swallowed them!
句中用了过去完成时。过去完成时用来表示两个动作中,发生在前的那个动作。显然,句中“咽 卜硬币”的动作发生在夫妇俩能够把硬币从汤米手中抢过来之前。
7.later that morning,那天上午的晚些时候
later是副词late的比较级。
8.any change,
change是个多义词,既有“零钱”的意思,也有“变化”的意思。此处既可指“硬币”,亦可指“情 ,况的变化”。这是“双关”修辞法。
