第三步：辨难句拆分解读

1.Sometimes I wonder how relevant chemistry is to these students — few will ever become chemists — and most will be going back to their villages after Year 8 anyway.

句式分析：该句为复合句。 how relevant chemistry is to these students是how引导的　宾语　从句，破折号后的部分起进一步解释说明的作用；and连接前后两个　并列　句。

自主翻译：　有时，我会想化学对这些学生来说到底有多大的用处——几乎没有人会成为化学家——而且大多数人无论如何在八年级后都要回到自己的村庄。　

2.When we arrived at the village， Tombe’s mother， Kiak， saw us coming and started crying “ieee ieee”.

句式分析：该句为复合句。When 引导　时间状语　从句，Kiak作Tombe’s mother的　同位语　；句子的主干是Tombe’s mother saw us coming and started crying “ieee ieee”，其中saw us coming为“　see＋宾语＋宾语补足语　”结构；and连接两个并列谓语　saw　和　started　。

自主翻译：　我们到达村子时，汤贝的母亲齐亚克看见我们到来，就“唉咿——唉咿——”地叫了起来。　

3.Tombe’s father，Mukap，a man with a strong jaw and a wrinkled forehead，led us to his house，a low，round bamboo hut with no windows， with a door just big enough to get through， and with grass sticking out of the roof — this shows it is a man’s house.

句式分析：该句为复合句。Mukap作Tombe’s father的　同位语　，a low，round bamboo hut作his house的同位语；it is a man’s house为省略了　that　的宾语从句。

自主翻译：　汤贝的父亲穆卡普，一位下巴结实、额头满是皱纹的男人，把我们带到他的房子前：一座低矮的圆形竹屋，没有窗户，门的宽度仅够单人穿过，屋顶伸出一簇茅草——这表明这是一个男人的房子。

第一步：抒己见提升思维
