Step4Sentence-learning

1.Duringtheirfirstday,asistypicalofVancouver,itrained.

［句式分析］该句为复合句。asistypicalofVancouver为as引导的非限制性定语从句;as指

代后面的itrained。as引导的定语从句位置比较灵活，可以在句首、句中，也可以在句末。

［自主翻译］第一天的时候，天空就下起了雨，这是温哥华的典型天气。

2.Despitetheweather,theywereabletotakeaboatrideoutintothebay,andlatervisitanisland

thathadwonderfulshopssellingcraftsandantiques.

［句式分析］该句为复合句。句子的主干是theywereabletotakeaboatrideoutintothebay»and

latervisitanisland。despite后接名词，在句中作状语,相当于一个状语从句。thathadwonderful

shopssellingcraftsandantiques为定语从句,修饰先行词island；sellingcraftsandantiques为现

在分词短语作定造。

［自主翻译］尽管天气不好，她们还是乘船去了海湾，后来去了•个小岛，岛上有很多卖工

艺品和古董的商店。

3.Seenfromthetrainwindow,themountainsandforestsofCanadalookedmassive.

［句式分析］该句为简单句。Seenfromthetrainwindow是过去分词短语在句中作状语。句子

的主语是themountainsandforestsofCanada,与动词see之间存在被动关系,所以用过去分

词形式。

［自主翻译］从火车的窗广向外看，外面是连绵起伏的山脉和大片的森林。

4.Whenthe(rainarrivedatthestation,theytooka(axitoLakeLouise*wherethebluewater

literallytooktheirbreathawaywithitsexceptionalbeauty.

［句式分析］该句为复合句。when引导的是一个时间状语从句;wherethebluewaterliterally

took(heirbreathawaywithitsexceptionalbeauty在句中作定语,修饰先行词LakeLouiseo

旧主翻译］火车抵达后，她们乘坐出租车来到路易斯湖，那里湛蓝的湖水异常美丽，令她

们惊叹不已。

5.Thebushesandmapletreesoutsidetheirwindowswerered,gold,andorange>and(herewas

frostontheground,confirmingthatautumnhadarrivedinCanada.

［句式分析］该句为复合句。叟EL连接两个并列分句，confirmingthatautumnhadarrivedin

Canada是现在分词短语在句中作状造。其中又包含一个that引导的宾适从句。

［自主翻译］窗外的灌木从和枫树林呈现山红色、金色和橘黄色，地上有些许的霜，证实加

拿大的秋天已经到来了。
