Grammarfocus语法1.Myoldfriend,Harrison,hadlivedintheMediterraneanformanyyearsbeforehereturnedtoEngland.我的老朋友哈里森在回到英国以前曾多年居住在地中海地区。句中Harrison是Myoldfriend的同位语。其后是一个由before引导的时间状语从句。Mediterranean地中海，它被北面的欧洲大陆，南面的非洲大陆和东面的亚洲大陆包围着，位于这三大洲之间，是世界最大的陆间海。就是指被陆地环绕，形成一个形似湖泊但具海洋特质的海洋。2.HehadoftendreamedofretiringinEnglandandhadplannedtosettledowninthecountry.过去他常幻想退休后到英国，并计划在乡间安顿下来。这是一个由and连接的并列句，and前后两个句子都是过去完成时。and前面的句子中dreamof表示梦想、幻想。如：Ioftendreamofbeingrich.我常常梦想着变得富有。and后面的句子中settledown表示定居。如：IhavedecidedtosettledowninShenzhen.我已决定在深圳定居。3.Hehadnosoonerreturnedthanheboughtahouseandwenttolivethere.他刚一回到英国便买下了一栋房子住了进去。nosooner…than…表示一……就……，用于引导时间状语从句。如：Ihadnosoonercomehomethanitbegantosnow.我刚一到家，就开始下起雪来了。4.Almostimmediatelyhebegantocomplainabouttheweather,foreventhoughitwasstillsummer,itrainedcontinuallyanditwasoftenbitterlycold.紧接着他就开始抱怨那里的天气了。因为即使那时仍为夏季，但雨总是下个不停，而且常常冷得厉害。整个句子是一个由for引导的并列句，for在此译为因为，for后面的部分解释他抱怨的原因。而for后面的句子是一个由eventhough引导的让步状语从句：Eventhoughitwasstillsummer,itrainedcontinuallyanditwasoftenbitterlycold.Eventhoughitwasstillsummer.是这个让步状语从句的从句部分；主句部分Itrainedcontinuallyanditwasoftenbitterlycold.又是一个由and连接的并列句。eventhough表示即使，哪怕。如：IwillhaveatryeventhoughIshouldfail.哪怕失败，我也要试一下。5.HeactedasifhehadneverlivedinEnglandbefore.他的举动就好像他从未在英国生活过一样。asif表示像……一样，常用来引导方式状语从句。如：Youspeakasifyouhadreallybeenthere.你说的就好像你真的去过那里一样。6.Hehadhardlyhadtimetosettledownwhenhesoldthehouseandleftthecountry.还没等安顿下来就卖掉了房子，离开了这个国家。这是一个由when引导的时间状语从句，表示当他卖掉房子，离开这个国家的时候，还没来得及安顿下来。hardly……when与nosoonerthan一样都表示一……就……。如：Ihadhardlyopenedthedoorwhenhecamein.我刚一开门，他就进来了。7.Thedreamhehadhadforsomanyyearsendedthere.他多年来的幻想从此破灭。本句要表达的意思是Thedreamendedthere.幻想破灭了。什么样的幻想呢？他多年的幻想。句子hehadhadforsomanyyears是用来修饰和限定前面的thedream.这是一个省略了连接词that的定语从句，that在从句中作宾语。Exercises练习一.Answerthesequestions.1.Wherehadthewriter'sfriend,Harrison,spentmanyyears?Whatdidhewanttodo?Whatdidhebuy?(but…so…)
