2. no matter how well it is translated, something of the spirit of the original work is lost.
t: from the sentences we’ve discussed, we know that if the past participle is used as adverbial, we can change them into the adverbial clauses, which has the same meaning. now turn to page 30. please look at grammar part 1.complete each sentence by using the past participle of the right verb. before doing that, who will tell the meanings of the words in the box?
suggested answers:
1. frightened   2. followed   3. examined   4. built   5. seen   6. trapped   7. shot
step 4 practice
show the sentences on the screen.
1. the castle , burned down in 1943, was never built.
2. if left alone on a deserted island, what would you do to survive?
t: look at the two sentences on the screen. each of the sentences has a past participle. have a discussion about them and decide their functions.
suggested answers;
1.in the first sentence the past participle phrase “ burned down in 1943” is used as attribute, modifying the noun “castle”. the meaning of the whole sentence is:1943年被夷為平地的那座城堡，再也沒有重建。
2. in the second sentence, “ left alone on a deserted island” is used as adverbial, expressing condition. the meaning of the whole sentence is: “如果你流落到一個荒涼的島上，為了生存下去，你會怎么辦呢？
now look at part 2 and decide the function of each past participle phrase. you can do it in pairs or groups.
step 5 consolidation
t: look at the example on page 30. here are two sentences. they both have the same meaning but their adverbials are expressed in the different ways. study the example and then rewrite the sentences on page 31, using a clause to substitute the past participle phrase.
