24、known 是由从属连词引导的方式状语从句，课文中作插入语，表示“正如人们已经开始知道的那样”。代词it指cave exploration 或 pot-holing.as除可用来引导时间，原因，让步等状语从句外，还可用来引导方式状语从句，表示“正如”之意，如， Wed better leave the things as they are. 我们最好让这些东西保持其原来的样子。Perhaps it is the desires for solitude or the chance of making an unexpected discovery that lures people本句中it

25、is that结构为强调句式，由其正常结构The desire for solitude or the chance of making an unexpected discovery lures people变化而来。被强调的部分是正常结构中的主语，即the desire for or the chance of, lures 为句子中的谓语动词。这种结构常常被译作“正是”For him, caves have the same peculiar fascination which high mountains have for the climber.for him 对他来说。这里的him

26、泛指洞穴探险者。the same 不仅可以与as, that搭配使用，而且还可以同who, which(较少用),where等搭配使用，均表达“与一样”之意，如，Hes the same man who/that was here yesterday.I was born in the same room where my brother was born.但是，如果后面为省略句，即一个名词或代词（作从句主语）时，通常使用as,如，I read the same book as you.Her hairs the same color as her mothers.课文解析It can tak

27、e as long as eight days to rig up rope ladders and to establish supply bases before a descent can be made into a very deep cave.as long as eight days 长达8天的时间。这里用asas结构强调所用天数之多。it在句子中为先行词it的使用方法，其后的两个动词不定式短语to rig up 和to establish 为逻辑主语。rig up 临时/草草搭起，架起，如，Some of the soldiers had rigged up tents for

28、 the night.其中一些士兵已经搭起了过夜的帐篷。make a descent into 下降进入, 如They made a descent into the mine.他们下了矿井。该句的从句中用的是被动语态结构，即将该短语结构中的宾语a descent 提前作了主语。课文解析As it is only six feet across,as为从属连词，引导一个原因状语从句，即“由于它（指洞口）仅6英尺宽”the cave might never have been discovered had not the entrance been spotted“might + 完成时态”结构

29、用来表示过去可能发生而没有发生的事情，如You were stupid to try climbing up there. You might have killed yourself.使用这一结构时，往往含有批评或责备的意味。这个结构同后面的had not构成虚拟语气结构。had not 为非真实性条件状语从句，省略了if。 正常的结构为：if the entrance had not been spotted by 非真实性条件从句中if的省略多用于较正式的文体之中，并且该从句中的主语后通常为were或had,或情态助动词should。省略if的非真实性条件状语从句。需使用倒装结构形式，如

30、：课文解析Had I realized what you intended I should not have wasted my time trying to explain matters to you.如果我本来了解你的意图，我就不会浪费时间向你作解释了。Should you change your mind, let us know.你如果改变主意就告诉我们。it has become a sort of pot-holers Everest.句子指Gouffer Berger洞，把它比作Everest是暗喻手法。课文解析 much of it still remains to be

31、explored.remains to be explored 有待于进一步勘探。句子中的it指Gouffer Berger洞，much of it意即“这个洞中的许多东西”。They had to edge their way along this, sometimes wading, or swimmingedge their way 侧身缓缓向前移动。sometimes wading across 与or swimming across为两个现在分词短语，在句子中作方式状语，修饰edge。课文解析They plunged into the lake, and after loading,

32、 let theplunged 和let在句子中并列作谓语。and after loading在句子中作插入语，说明动作let发生的时间。To protect themselves from the icy water, they had to protect from 保护 以免 文中To protect themselves from the icy water 为动词不定式，作目的状语。将目的状语的动词不定式置于句首较其置于句后更为正式，语气较重。At the far end of the lake,在湖的顶那头/尽头。介词短语，在句子中作地点状语。根据其后所随内容的不同，短语介词at

33、the end of 可表示“在底（时间状语）”，“在结尾（尽头，为地点状语）”和“达 限度（程度状语）”，如，课文解析They went to Beijing at the end of last year.Youll find an index at the end of this book.She was at the end of her patience.an insistent booming sound which they found was caused by a small waterspout shooting downwhich was caused by of the

34、 cave 为定语从句，修饰sound。They found 为插入语，对其前面的成分作进一步的追加说明。除find外，常见用于此类插入语的动词还有think, hope, guess, believe, suppose, wonder, see, know等，如，This, I suppose, will give you some idea of our stand on the issue.这个，我想，可以帮助你们对我们在此问题上的立场有所了解。课文解析The book he lent you, I think, was both interesting and instructive.他借给你的那本书我觉得既有趣又有教育意义。Squeezing through a cleft in the rocks, the size of a huge concert hall.Squeezing th
