二、课文
文章内容解读
课文讲述了作者在驾驶汽车行驶过程中遇到的一系列惊险状况。先是在一条崎岖不平的道路上行驶,遇到了巨石、坑洼等障碍,接着汽车的一个轮胎陷入了坑里,这给作者带来了不少困扰。在试图解决问题的过程中,又出现了更多的意外,如汽车部件的损坏等,使整个情况变得更加危急。作者通过生动的描述,让读者感受到了当时紧张和危险的氛围,以及他在面对这些状况时的心理变化。
重点句型讲解
“We had no sooner set out than a thunderstorm broke.”:“no sooner...than...” 表示 “一…… 就……”,引导时间状语从句,且 no sooner 位于句首时,主句需用部分倒装,此句正常语序为 “We had set out no sooner than a thunderstorm broke.”,意思是 “我们一出发就遭遇了雷雨”。
“The car leaped forward out of control and crashed into a tree.”:此句中 “out of control” 作状语,描述汽车的状态,意思是 “失去控制地”,整句话描述了汽车失控向前冲并撞到树上的情景。
“It was not long before a helicopter arrived on the scene to rescue the survivors of the plane crash.”:“It was not long before...” 表示 “不久就……”,此句意思是 “不久一架直升机就到达现场营救飞机失事的幸存者”。
三、语法
过去完成时与一般过去时的搭配使用
定义:过去完成时表示在过去某个时间或动作之前已经发生或完成的动作,即 “过去的过去”;一般过去时则表示过去某个时间发生的动作或存在的状态。在叙述过去的事情时,常常会先提及过去某个时间点发生的一般过去时的动作,然后再用过去完成时来描述在此之前已经发生的相关动作,以体现动作发生的先后顺序。
用法:
用于含有时间状语从句的复合句中,从句用一般过去时,主句用过去完成时。例如:When I got home, my mother had already cooked dinner.(当我到家时,我妈妈已经做好了晚饭。)
在叙述过去连续发生的动作时,先发生的动作用过去完成时,后发生的动作用一般过去时。例如:I had lost my key, so I couldn't open the door.(我把钥匙丢了,所以打不开门。)
例句:The train had left when I arrived at the station.(我到达车站时火车已经开走了。)
