Hogahn

was

pantingwarmcloudsofair，定语从句thathadfallenintohislovingpossession主语为atwo-footoakbranch。当我奋力地用衣服夹子夹床单时，霍根正在我腿边玩得气喘嘘嘘，一段两英尺长橡树枝成了他宝贝，被他叼来叼去。Activereading1:ResourcesAnalsTransDifficultsentences3Ihadtossedsticksforhimbeforeandknewtheapproximatedistancetheywouldgo,dependingupontheirweightandmymotion.Thisstick,however,caughtagustand,flyingwherethesheetwantedtogo,sailedacrosstheyard,overthefence,and,withafineskater’stouch,glidedontothepond.(P7)

注意句中当代分词使用方法。dependingupontheirweightandmymotion主语为I，在句中作原因状语，解释knewtheapproximatedistancetheywouldgo原因。flyingwherethesheetwantedtogo主语为Thisstick，在句中作状语，表示伴随情况。我以前也经常这么为他扔木头。依据木头重量和我动作大小，我知道它们大约能飞多远。但这块木头赶上了一阵疾风，朝着床单想去方向飞过了院子，越过了围栏，最终以溜冰高手般优美动作滑进湖水里。Activereading1:ResourcesAnalsTransDifficultsentences4AsIlookedup,IsawHogahnracingthroughthegateand,withamagnificentleap,crashingthroughtheicejustshortofthestickandintothewater.(P7)注意Hogahn一系列动作。

先是racingthroughthegate，然后crashingthroughtheice，最终intothewater。withamagnificentleap修饰crash。注意shortofthestick主语为Hogahn，表示它差一点够得着那段木头了。我抬头一看，只见霍根飞速穿过院门，以一个漂亮飞跃撞破薄冰，落入水中，他差一点就够得着那段木头了。Activereading1:ResourcesAnalsTransDifficultsentences5IwentasfarasIcoulduntilthepondbottomsankdownundermyweightandtheicewaterpenetratedmyjacket,andIstoodandwaited.(P9)asfaras在这里表示程度或范围，意思为“尽可能向前走”。

Penetrate意思为togetthroughsomethingintoaplaceandbefeltbypeopleinit.注意thepondbottomsankdownundermyweight译法，直译为“湖底在我重量下塌陷”则言过其实；把施事者换成“我”来译这句则更符合汉语习惯。我尽可能向前趟，直到我双脚陷进湖底烂泥，冰凉湖水浸透了我夹克。我站在那儿等着。Activereading1:ResourcesAnalsTransWordstonoteNewWordsPhraseslicklayer
