6. the furniture is precious and huge glass windows that can be opened and closed give a view of the underwater world. 擺設很精致,巨大的玻璃窗可以打開或關上,讓人看到水下世界。
(1)這里的that引導一個定語從句(that can be opened and closed)用于修飾先行詞huge glass windows.
(2)a view of …“……的景色”或“看;眺望;觀察”之意。 eg:
there’s a view of the river from my windows.
在我的窗前可看到河上風光。
if you stand here you’ll get a better view of the procession.
如果你站在這里,就可以更清楚地看到游行隊伍。
7. all that is needed for life on board comes from the ocean.艇上所有生活所需全部來自于海洋。
that is needed for life on board是定語從句,修飾先行詞all。
注:(1)當先行詞是不定代詞all, everything, few, little, much, something, anything, nothing等時,賓語從句只能由that引導。 eg:
the boy handed in everything that he had picked up in the street to the police. 那個男孩把他在大街上撿到的一切東西都交給了警察。
(2)all that=what eg:
all that the said was true.=what he said was true.
他所說的一切都是真的。
8. dressed in diving suits, they walk around in this magic world, lighted by the lamps of the ship. 他們穿著潛水衣,在船上燈的照射下在這個魔幻世界中四處走動。
(1)dress ①vt. “給某人穿衣服”用于“dress sb.”結構中。dress oneself意為“給自己穿衣服”;be dressed in意為“穿著……”。 ①②③④

9. (1)they find themselves surrounded by colorful rocks, fishes, shells and plants, all waving and moving slowly in the blue waters. 他們發現自己被彩色的巖石、魚、貝殼和植物包圍著,這些東西在藍色的海域中慢慢地搖曳移動著。
(2)btu at other moments you will find him gentle and weak, when he cries about the lost lives of people drowned in ships that have sunk. 但是在其他時刻,當他為了那些隨著沉船一起被淹死的人而哭泣時,你又會發現他溫柔又脆弱。
上面兩句中的find themselves surrounded和find him gentle and weak都是find的常見用法。這里surrounded是過去分詞,gentle和weak是形容詞,它們都用來作賓補。find的此種用法可歸納為:find+sb./sth.+adj./介詞短語/doing/done/adv./n. 。 eg:
i found the ground covered with snow when i opened the door.
當我打開門的時候我發現地面鋪滿了雪。
when he came in, he found a thief stealing his money.
