My nephew, George, has a money box but it is always empty. Very few of the fifty pence pieces and pound coins I have given him have found heir way there. I gave him fifty pence yesterday and advised him to save it.
7. My nephew, George, has a money box but it is always empty.
我的外甥喬治有一個(gè)儲(chǔ)蓄罐,但總是空空的。
語(yǔ)言點(diǎn):句子結(jié)構(gòu)分析:George是my nephew的同位語(yǔ)。But連接兩個(gè)并列的分句,是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,說(shuō)明儲(chǔ)蓄罐里沒(méi)有錢。
8. Very few of the fifty pence pieces and pound coins I have given him have found heir way there.
我給了不少50便士的硬幣,但沒(méi)有幾個(gè)存到儲(chǔ)蓄罐里。
語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)1:句子結(jié)構(gòu)分析:very few of the fifty pence pieces and pound coins放在句首,強(qiáng)調(diào)“存入儲(chǔ)蓄罐的錢太少”。I have given him為省略了引導(dǎo)詞的定語(yǔ)從句,修飾pound coins。
語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)2:請(qǐng)大家注意以下短語(yǔ)的區(qū)別:a fifty pence表示“一張50便士的鈔票”,fifty pence pieces意為“多張50便士的鈔票”,fifty pennies則為“50梅1便士的硬幣”。
9. I gave him fifty pence yesterday and advised him to save it.
昨天,我給了他50便士讓存起來(lái)。
語(yǔ)言點(diǎn):句子結(jié)構(gòu)分析:and連接兩個(gè)謂語(yǔ)gave和advised。
