Unit 5 Enjoying novels
剖析:句中 it指代上文中everyone knows that a single man with a fortune must be in want of wife。 句中whose only wish is to marry their daughters well是定語從句,修飾those mothers。如:have you seen the film “titanic”, whose leading actor is world – famous? (01上海)
譯文:這句話就是調侃那些母親,因為她們一門心思要女兒嫁個好人家。
真題:last month, part of southeast asia was struck by floods, from _____effects the people are still suffering. (天津)
a. that b. whose c. those d. what
解析:引導詞在這個定語從句本身必須作定語。故選b。
6. her most famous book, jane eyre, describes the growth of a poor, abused heroine with an unhappy childhood through to mature person who finds eventual happiness after many struggle and disappointments.
剖析:句中abused是abuse的過去分詞形式,表示“被虐待、傷害的, 受辱罵的”
with an unhappy childhood through to mature person 是個介詞短語修飾heroine。who 引導的定語從句也修飾heroine。
譯文:她最有名的小說《簡•愛》所描繪的女主人公從童年的不幸、貧窮且飽受摧殘到成熟,她經歷多種坎坷和失望,最后終于找到了幸福。

剖析:being immediately hailed as “the masterwork of a great genius” 是現在分詞的被動式,作時間狀語,be hailed as 意思是“作為。。。被承認”,success 表示具體的一次成功的事或一個成功的人士,其前要加不定冠詞a 。
譯文:《簡•愛》一出版,立即被譽為“偉大天才的杰作”,獲得了巨大的成功。

剖析:句中with the 19th century being regarded as one of great women writers獨立主格結構表示伴隨情況的。
譯文:19世紀被認為是偉大的女作家人才輩出的世紀,這一時期也有一些優秀的男作家。
9.these women having produced works of the highest quality, any survey of the 19th century english literature must include them.
剖析:句中these women having produced works of the highest quality是獨立主格結構,表示原因。相當于because these women have produced works of the highest quality。
譯文:這些女作家由于創造了具有最高水準的作品,任何關于19世紀英國文學的研究都必須包括她們。
10. at first, in spite of disliking him, she did not discount his affection, and was sensitive to the pain she was going to cause him when declined his offer of marriage.
