All the thing I had packed so carefully were soon in a dreadful mess. I felt sure I would never be able to close the case again. Suddenly, I saw the Officer's face light up.
10. All the thing I had packed so carefully were soon in a dreadful mess.
所有細(xì)心包裝好的東西一會兒工夫就亂成一團。
dreadful ['dredful]
adj. 可怕的;糟透的,令人不快的
例句:
I cannot imagine what to do in this dreadful situation.
我不能想像在這么糟的情況下該怎么辦。
mess [mes]
n. 混亂;食堂,伙食團;困境;臟亂的東西
vt. 弄亂,弄臟;毀壞;使就餐
vi. 把事情弄糟;制造臟亂;玩弄
例句:
See how your cat has messed up my ball of wool.
瞧你的貓把我的絨線球弄亂了。
語言點:句子結(jié)構(gòu)分析:本句中的all the things為先行詞,其后的定語從句必須由that引導(dǎo),即(that)I had packed so carefully;不用which,that可以省去。In a dreadful mess的意思是“亂成一團”,是固定搭配。
11. I felt sure I would never be able to close the case again.
我相信那箱子再也關(guān)不上了。
語言點:句子結(jié)構(gòu)分析:sure后面的賓語從句省略了引導(dǎo)詞that。
12. Suddenly, I saw the Officer's face light up.
忽然,我看到官員臉上露出了自得的神色。
語言點1:句子結(jié)構(gòu)分析:see為感官動詞,后面一般接不帶to的動詞不定式,比如這句話的結(jié)構(gòu)就是see sth.light up。
語言點2:light up常指“得意洋洋”,在此句中作face的賓語補足語。
