Unit 8 Surprise endings第 2 课时 课文重难点句型讲解栏目导航巩 固 习 题1．Jim and Della had two possessions which they were both proud of. One was Jim’s gold watch that was from his father and his grandfather. The other was Della’s beautiful hair. It fell about her, and reached below her knee. 吉姆和德拉有两样他们都引以为豪的宝贝。一样是吉姆的金表，那是从他父亲和祖父传下来的。另一样就是德拉的美发。它披散在她身上，垂到她的膝下。 上面这段话中，第一句话中的 which they were both proud of 是定语从句，先行词是 two possessions，关系代词 which 可用 that 替换，因在定语从句中作宾语，故关系代词也可省略。这里的 both 指的是“两者都”，与数字“2”相关的单词还有：twins（双胞胎）、pair（双、对）、either（两者中的任一）、the other（两者中的另一）、neither（两者都不）等。 固定短语 be proud of 相当于 take pride in，“引以为荣”的意思。第三句话中的the other 指代两样宝贝中的另一样宝贝，此处 the other 相当于 the other one、the other possession。例如： The old man has two sons. One is a teacher and the other（one）is a doctor. 老人有两个儿子。一个是老师，另外一个是医生。 最后一句话中的介词 about，意思是“围绕”。例如： It was too cold outside. The girl wore a scarf about her neck. 外面太冷。女孩的脖子系着一条围巾。 2．Then Della searched through the stores looking for a present for Jim. 接着，德拉在商店里搜寻着，给吉姆找份礼物。 searched 在本句意思是“搜寻；搜身”，以找到自己想要的东西。句中的介词 through要理解成“从一端到另一端”。现在分词短语 looking for a present 作状语。例如： Frank walked his dog, saying hello to others. 弗兰克遛着狗，跟其他人打招呼。 3．Instead of obeying, Jim sat down, put his hands behind his head and smiled. 吉姆没听她的，坐了下来，把他的双手放在头后面，然后笑了。 短语 instead of，相当于 in place of，“代替；而不是”的意思。例如： Tina was ill so Alice attended the party instead of he...
