　　16. When he went outside half an hour later, he was astonished to find the little black lamb was almost white.

　　半小時后，當他從屋里出來時，他驚奇地發(fā)現(xiàn)小黑羔羊全身幾乎都變成白色。

　　語言點:句子結構分析:when引導時間狀語從句。主句中的that引導賓語從句，交代find的內容。

　　17. Its wool, which had been dyed black, had been washed clean by the rain!

　　原來羊毛上染的黑色被雨水沖掉了!

　　語言點:句子結構分析:which引導非限制性定語從句。Had been washed是過去完成時的被動語態(tài)，強調顏料完全被沖刷掉了。
