[2]Walking through...workplace为现在分词短语作时间状语，although引导让步状语从句。 Qing emperors⑧ were very fond of clocks.Therefore, in order to please them, foreign envoys presented these emperors with⑨ the most intricate and splendid timepieces.Today, the Palace Museum has one of the most significant collections⑩ of timepieces in the world, mainly originating from⑪ Europe and China.[3]With objects⑫ ranging from small pocket watches to⑬ clocks over one metre in height⑭，each of these requires its own unique method of restoration. Given⑮ the complexity⑯ of the work and the lack of necessary materials⑰，this means that each expert can work on a maximum of⑱ two large pieces a year.But, through their painstaking⑲ efforts, Mr Wang and his students do more than repair the clocks—they bring them back to life⑳. [3]本句中with objects ranging from...height为with复合结构，在句中作状语。 The only sound to break the silence㉑in Wang Jin's workshop is the chiming melody of the repaired and polished㉒clocks.To Wang Jin it is the most beautiful music in the world.Now after eight months of endless adjustments㉓，the time has finally come for Mr Wang to wind up㉔ the gigantic㉕clocks that date back to㉖the time of Emperor Qianlong. The intricately㉗fashioned objects that have stood still for centuries instantly come back to life: water flows, boats sail, dogs bark, chickens flap their wings and a woman starts to spin.It is a truly awe­inspiring moment. [4]It is suddenly clear that when the clock masters say that “these antiques have lives”，it is neither an exaggeration nor a metaphor. [4]本句为主从复合句。本句主干为It is clear that...，其中that从句是真正的主语，It作形式主语；在主语从句中say后面为that引导的宾语从句。 But, despite the combined㉘work of several generations of masters, it seems unlikely that the restoration of the clocks will ever be complete.[5]Even if every clock in the Palace Museum were restored, there would still be work to do, because restoration would probably need to begin again on the clocks that were repaired long ago．This is a race against time that can never be won! Nonetheless㉙，Mr Wang remains optimistic about the future of these timepieces. Following in the footsteps of his own teacher all those years ago, Mr Wang has now passed on㉚his skills to the new members, who will take on㉛many of the future repairs.What's more, inspired to follow in his father's footsteps, Mr Wang's son now has also taken up㉜repairing antique clocks. This new generation of artisans will not only help preserve㉝ traditional skills; the innovation㉞they bring to the craft will also ensure that the art of clock repairing stands the test of time㉟. [5]本句为主从复合句。even if引导让步状语从句，because引导原因状语从句，在原因状语从句中，that引导定语从句。 In today's fast­paced world, the saying that “time waits for no man㊱” has never seemed more apt.Yet㊲ inside the hidden courtyards of Xi San Suo, there is something timeless about the way Mr Wang and his colleagues sedately㊳piece together㊴the past with skilful hands and modest㊵hearts. It is as if they have become one with their craft and with the history of the country. ◎ 时间大师 在紫禁城高墙内西三所安静的庭院里，时间按着自己的节奏流逝着。要不是那三集纪录片，外面的人永远也不会知道，在这里工作的那些衣着朴素的人竟然都是精于各门技艺的大师，他们毕生都在修复珍贵的古董。这其中便包括钟表修复大师王津。 王津穿过七重深红色的大门，走向自己的工作地点。尽管现在他经常被想和他合影的粉丝拦住，他仍然认为自己是故宫博物院的一名普通工人。王先生和他的学生们日复一日地修复着数百年前的钟表，但在过去相当长的一段时间里，故宫博物院修理钟表的工匠只有他和他的学生亓昊楠。 清朝的皇帝们十分喜欢钟表。因此，外国使节们把最精致、最华丽的钟表送给这些皇帝来取悦他们。如今，故宫博物院拥有一部分世界上最重要的钟表藏品，这些钟表主要来自欧洲和中国。小到怀表，大到超过一米高的钟表，每一件都有其独特的修复方法。工作的复杂性和必要材料的缺乏意味着每位专家每年最多只能修复两件大型钟表。但是，王先生和他的学生们通过艰苦的努力不只是修复了钟表——他们还让钟表恢复了生命。 在王津的工作坊里，唯一能打破寂静的声音是在修理、抛光钟表时发出的报时的旋律。对王津来说，这是世界上最美的音乐。经过八个月无休止的调整，王先生现在终于进行到了为乾隆皇帝时代的巨型钟表上弦的时候。那些已经静止了几个世纪的造型复杂的摆件瞬间复活了：水流动着，船航行着，狗吠叫着，鸡拍动着翅膀，一个女人纺着线。这真是一个令人惊叹的时刻。人们突然明白，当钟表大师们说“这些古董有生命”时，这既不是夸张，也不是比喻。 但是，尽管经过了几代大师的共同努力，钟表的修复似乎永远不可能完成。即使故宫博物院的每一件钟表都被修复了，仍然有工作要做，因为可能需要重新开始对很久以前修复的钟表进行修复。这是一场与时间的赛跑，却永远不可能赢！尽管如此，王先生对这些钟表的未来仍持乐观态度。多年前，王先生继承了师父的事业，而现在他已将自己的技艺传授给了将承担未来许多修复工作的新成员。更重要的是，在继承父业这一壮志的激励下，王先生的儿子现在也开始修复古董钟表。新一代的工匠不仅能够协助保留传统技艺，他们给技艺带来的创新也将确保钟表修复艺术能够经得起时间的考验。 在当今快节奏的世界里，“时间不等人”的说法似乎再贴切不过了。然而，在西三所的隐秘庭院里，王先生和他的同事们用灵巧的双手和谦逊的心沉着地拼凑着过去，带来了永恒，好像他们已经与自己的技艺和这个国家的历史融为了一体。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
