During the Warring States Period, the King of Zhao got an invaluable piece of jade, He Shi Bi. When the King of Qin heard of this, he offered Zhao fifteen cities for the smooth, bright jade.
长难句分析:这是一个复合句。主句主语为he,谓语为offered,间接宾语为Zhao,直接宾语为fifteen cities,for the smooth, bright jade 为目的状语。When the King of Qin heard of this 是时间状语从句。
The King of Zhao feared he might get nothing in return. Yet if he refused, Qin might attack Zhao. Lin Xiangru, who was brave and intelligent, was sent to Qin with the jade.
The King of Qin was pleased when he saw the jade, but he did not mention the cities at all. Lin said, “Your Majesty, there is a tiny flaw on the jade. Could I show it to you?” The king handed the jade back to Lin.
作为回报;作为回应
As soon as Lin got the jade, he stepped back to the pillars in the palace, shouting, “You have no intention of giving us those cities, so I’ve taken back the jade. If you use force against me, I’ll smash my head and the jade against this pillar.”
as soon as“一……就……”, 引导时间状语从句
长难句分析:这是一个包含If 引导的条件状语从句的复合句。主句主语为I,谓语为will smash,宾语为my head and the jade,against this pillar 为方式状语。If you use force against me 是条件状语从句。
To save the jade, the King of Qin apologized, and then showed Lin the cities on the map. But Lin did not believe he would turn them over. He ordered one of his men to secretly take the jade back to Zhao. He himself would stay to face the King of Qin. Although the King of Qin was furious, he had no better choice but to set Lin free. Lin Xiangru and the jade returned to Zhao safely.
动词不定式短语作目的状语

B What does the word “invaluable” mean in Paragraph 1?
C How did Lin Xiangru get the King of Qin to hand the jade back to him?

Lin Xiangru said there was a tiny flaw on the jade and he needed
to show it to the King of Qin.
Because Lin Xiangru didn’t believe that the King of Qin would
