新概念英語(yǔ)第三冊(cè)逐句精講語(yǔ)言點(diǎn) 第3課 無(wú)名女神 (2)

　　Each of these represented a goddess and had, at one time, been painted. The body of one statue was found among remains dating from the fifteenth century B.C. It's missing head happened to be among remains of the fifth century B.C. This head must have been found in Classical times and carefully preserved. It was very old and precious even then. When the archaeologists reconstructed the fragments, they were amazed to find that the goddess turned out to be a very modern-looking woman. She stood three feet high and her hands rested on her hips. She was wearing a full-length skirt which swept the ground. Despite her great age, she was very graceful indeed, but, so far, the archaeologists have been unable to discover her identity.

　　9. Each of these represented a goddess and had, at one time, been painted.

　　每一尊雕像代表一位女神，而且一度上過色。

　　語(yǔ)言點(diǎn):句子結(jié)構(gòu)分析:each of these作主語(yǔ)，強(qiáng)調(diào)“每一…”。And連接兩個(gè)并列的謂語(yǔ)represented和had been painted;had been painted是過去完成時(shí)的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)，表示上色這個(gè)動(dòng)作發(fā)生在“過去的過去”。

　　10. The body of one statue was found among remains dating from the fifteenth century B.C.

　　其中一尊雕像，她的軀體是在公元前15世紀(jì)的歷史文物中發(fā)現(xiàn)的。

　　語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)1:句子結(jié)構(gòu)分析:本句中的現(xiàn)在分詞短語(yǔ)dating from the fifteenth century B.C.作定語(yǔ)，修飾remains。

　　語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)2:date from(=date back to,trace by)的意思是“起始于”。

　　例句支持:

　　The castle,the very best in Europe,has a long history dating back to the ancient Roman times.古堡為歐洲之最，其歷史悠久，可以追溯到古羅馬時(shí)代。

　　11. It's missing head happened to be among remains of the fifth century B.C.

　　而她那身首異處的腦袋卻碰巧是在公元前5世紀(jì)的文物中找到的。

　　語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)1:句子結(jié)構(gòu)分析:missing為現(xiàn)在分詞形式，相當(dāng)于形容詞，作定語(yǔ)，修飾head。

　　語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)2:happen to do sth的意思是“碰巧做某事”。

　　12. This head must have been found in Classical times and carefully preserved.

　　她的腦袋一定是在古希臘羅馬世代就為人所發(fā)現(xiàn)，并受到了精心的保護(hù)。

　　語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)1:句子結(jié)構(gòu)分析:must have been found是對(duì)過去的推測(cè)。In classical times作時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)。And連接兩個(gè)并列句，說(shuō)明這個(gè)女神的頭“被發(fā)現(xiàn)”和“被保護(hù)”這兩個(gè)動(dòng)作。

　　語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)2:preserved為部分省略式,本句補(bǔ)充完整為:This head must have been found in Classical times and was carefully preserved.

　　13. It was very old and precious even then.

　　即使在當(dāng)時(shí)，它也屬歷史悠久的珍奇之物。

　　語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)1:it為代詞，指代the statue。

　　語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)2:even then指“即使在當(dāng)時(shí)”，相當(dāng)于even at that time，但前者比后者更加強(qiáng)調(diào)時(shí)間的特殊性。

　　14. When the archaeologists reconstructed the fragments, they were amazed to find that the goddess turned out to be a very modern-looking woman.

　　考古工作者把這些碎片重新拼裝起來(lái)后，驚奇的發(fā)現(xiàn)那位女神原來(lái)是一位相貌十分摩登的女郎。

　　語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)1:句子結(jié)構(gòu)分析:when引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句。That引導(dǎo)賓語(yǔ)從句，說(shuō)明find的內(nèi)容。

　　語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)2:be amazed to do sth，的意思是“某人驚奇的做某事”。

　　例句支持:

　　We are all amazed to see his progress. 看到他的進(jìn)步，我們都很吃驚。

　　語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)3:turn out to be=prove(to be),前者不可省去to be,后者可以省去to be。

　　例句支持:

　　15. She stood three feet high and her hands rested on her hips.

　　她身高3英尺，雙手叉腰。

　　語(yǔ)言點(diǎn):本文中兩個(gè)stand不同的經(jīng)典用法:

　　Which stands in…中的stand=be located in,強(qiáng)調(diào)“高高聳立”。

　　She stood three feet high…中的stand表示人或物的高度。

　　16. She was wearing a full-length skirt which swept the ground.

　　她身穿一條拖地長(zhǎng)裙。

　　語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)1:句子結(jié)構(gòu)分析:which引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句，說(shuō)明女神所穿的長(zhǎng)裙是拖地的。

　　語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)2:was wearing看似是用過去進(jìn)行時(shí)表示過去進(jìn)行的動(dòng)作，實(shí)際上是表示過去的狀態(tài)。

　　語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)3:表示“穿著”的短語(yǔ)還有:be dressed in,put on,have sth.on等等。

　　17. Despite her great age, she was very graceful indeed, but, so far, the archaeologists have been unable to discover her identity.

　　盡管上了年紀(jì)，但體態(tài)確實(shí)優(yōu)美。不過，考古工作者至今未能確定這位女神的身份。

　　語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)1:句子結(jié)構(gòu)分析:despite引導(dǎo)讓步狀語(yǔ)，相當(dāng)于in spite of…。Indeed為強(qiáng)調(diào)副詞，but表示轉(zhuǎn)折，說(shuō)明考古學(xué)家的研究結(jié)果。

　　語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)2:be unable to do sth.表示“沒能做到某事”。
