WhenaplanefromLondonarrivedatSydneyairport,workersbegantounloadanumberofwoodenboxeswhichcontainedclothing.

当一架来自伦敦的飞机抵达悉尼机场时，工人们开始卸下装有服装的一批木箱。整句话是一个时间状语从句，这个时间状语从句的主句部分又是一个定语从句。load表示装载，un是一个否定前缀，所以unload表示卸载。又如：lock锁--unlock开锁fair公平的--unfair不公平的acceptable可接受的--unacceptable不可接受的anumberof表示许多，number前还可以加上large或great等来表示数量很大。如：Hemadealargenumberofmistakesintheexam.他在考试中犯了大量的错误。Theconcertattractedagreatnumberofpeople.那场音乐会吸引了许多人。2.

Noonecouldaccountforthefactthatoneoftheboxeswasextremelyheavy.

其中有只箱子特别重，可谁也弄不清楚是怎么回事。这是一个同位语从句，因为连接词that后面的句子oneoftheboxeswasextremelyheavy.其中有只箱子特别重，是对前面的thefact这个事实，作进一步的说明和解释，也就是说thefact就是oneoftheboxeswasextremelyheavy.这两个部分是可以划等号的。与定语从句的区别是定语从句中连接词后面的句子是用来修饰和限定前面的先行词的，不能划等号。如：That'sthequestionthateverybodywantstoknow.（定语从句）这是每个人都想知道的问题。Thequestionwhokilledthemanwasunknown.（同位语从句）是谁杀了那个男人，这个问题还不得而知。accountfor表示说明。如：Canyouaccountforthemoneyyouspent?

你能说明一下那钱都花在哪了吗？3.

Itsuddenlyoccurredtooneoftheworkerstoopenupthebox.

突然一个工人想到打开箱子看看。本句中it是形式主语，真正的主语是后面的不定式toopenupthebox.sth.occurredtosb.表示某人想到某事。如：ItoccurredtomethatIdidn'tfinishmyhomework.我突然想起还没完成作业呢。4.

Hewasastonishedatwhathefound.

看到的情景使他吃惊。这是一个宾语从句，whathefound作介词at的宾语。beastonishedat表示对……感到惊讶。如：Wewereastonishedathissuddendeath.我们对他突然去世感到惊讶。5.

Amanwaslyingintheboxontopofapileofwoolengoods.

箱内有一个人正躺在一堆毛织品之上。ontopof表示在……之上。如：Redflagsareflyingontopofthecitywall.城头飘扬着红旗。apileof表示一堆……。如：Ihaveahugepileofbookstoread.我有一大堆书要看。6.

Hewassosurprisedatbeingdiscoveredthathedidnoteventrytorunaway.他由于被人发现而感到非常吃惊，甚至都没有企图逃跑。这是一个结果状语从句。句型结构为so…that…，表示如此……以至于……。他是被发现的，所以是被动语态beingdiscovered，作介词at的宾语。7.

Afterhewasarrested,themanadmittedhidingintheboxbeforetheplaneleftLondon.

此人被逮捕后，承认他是在飞机离开伦敦前躲进箱里的。admitdoingsth.表示承认做某事。如：Sheadmittedlyingtothepolice.她承认对警方撒了谎。8.

Hehadhadalonganduncomfortabletrip,forhehadbeenconfinedtothewoodenboxforovereighteenhours.

他经历了一次漫长而又难受的旅程，因为他在那木箱里闷了18个多小时。这是一个由for引导的原因状语从句，for在此表示因为。主句中的hadhad，第一个是构成过去完成时(haddone)结构的助动词，第二个是have的过去分词。beconfined表示被限制，如：Thethiefisconfinedinprison.这贼被关在监狱里。Exercises练习一.Answerthesequestions.1.WheredidtheplanefromLondonarrive?Whatdidworkersunloadfromit?(and)
