19.He was greeted by an unpleasant smell which convinced him that I was telling the truth.
一股怪味襲來,使他相信了我說的真話。
語言點(diǎn):be greeted by的本意為“被問候,被歡迎”,在此句中具有強(qiáng)烈的反語意味,充分表現(xiàn)了作者幽默的寫作手法。
20. A few minutes later, I was able to hurry away with precious chalk marks on my baggage.
幾分鐘后,我終于被放行,手提劃著寶貴的粉筆記號(hào)的行李,匆匆離去。
語言點(diǎn):句子結(jié)構(gòu)分析: with precious chalk marks on my baggage作able to hurry away的伴隨狀語。Precious chalks為反語修辭格。
