appearingtothisfairandwittyreviewerasanotherMrWoodhouse,Imustinsistthatlastnight’sfallofsnowherewasanevent.在这位公正睿智的评论家面前，即便是冒着让自己看起来像伍德豪斯先生那样的风险，我也得坚持说：“昨晚的那场雪是件大事”。【句型分析】thatlastnight’sfallofsnowherewasanevent为宾语从句。insist意为“坚决认为”，后接that从句，从句常用陈述语气。例如：Sheinsistedthatshewasright.

insist还可以表示“坚持主张，坚决要求”，后接that从句，从句常用should型的虚拟语气。例如：Janeinsistedthatheshouldbepresent.2as...as...像……一样……lookthrough...透过……看asif似乎；好像【教材原文】Iwasnearlyasexcitedaboutitthismorningas

thechildren,whomIfoundalllookingthrough

thewindowatthemagicoutsideandtalkingawayasexcitedly

asifChristmashadsuddenlycomeroundagain.对于这场雪，我今早近乎像孩子们那样兴奋。孩子们透过窗子看着

外面奇妙的世界，兴奋地说个不停，就像圣诞节突然又要来了一般。【句型分析】whomIfoundall...为定语从句，修饰children；asif

Christmashadsuddenlycomeroundagain本句中用了虚拟语气。3beoutof...在……的外面Itisthefirstfall[1]wehavehadherethiswinter,andlastyearIwasoutofthecountry,sweatinginahotclimate,duringthesnowyseason,[2]sothatitreallydoesseemanagesinceIsawthegroundsofantasticallycarpeted.这是今年冬天我们在这里的第一场雪，而在去年的雪季，我身在异国，在酷热的天气里汗流不止，所以离我上次欣赏到这银装素裹的世界，着实过了些时日了。【句型分析】[1]wehavehadherethiswinter为定语从句修饰fall，[2]sothatitreallydoesseemanage为结果状语从句，does起强调作用。4wakeup醒来Yougotobedinonekindofworldandwakeuptofindyourselfinanotherquitedifferent,andifthisisnotmagic,thenwhereisittobefound?入睡时，世界是一个模样，醒来则是完全不同的另一番模样，若非有魔力，如何才能这般？【句型分析】句中this指代前半句Yougotobedinonekindofworldandwakeuptofindyourselfinanotherquitedifferent的内容；it指代magic。5makesth.+adj.使某物怎么样【教材原文】Thelightthatcamethroughthewindowswasverystrange,anditmadethefamiliarbusinessofsplashingandshavingandbrushinganddressingverystrangetoo.窗子透进来的光线很是怪异，使得洗脸、刮胡子、刷牙、穿衣服这些熟悉的日常行为也显得离奇古怪。【句型分析】thatcamethroughthewindows为定语从句

修饰Thelight。6comeout出来【教材原文】Thenthesuncameout,andbythetimeIhadsatdowntobreakfastitwasshiningbravelyandflushingthesnowwithdelicatepinks.接着太阳出来了，等到我坐下来吃早餐时，太阳的光彩已是绚烂夺目，给雪地添了一抹柔和的粉红色。【词汇讲解】bravely是副词，修饰shining；flush是动词，意为“（使）发红”，与shine并列，一起描述阳光洒下的情形，这两个词生动地描写了阳光的状态，将阳光拟人化，体现了它的明媚、耀眼；delicate是形容词，意为“柔和的，淡雅的”，修饰pinks，delicatepinks表示“淡粉红色”。7with的复合结构作伴随状语【教材原文】Thelittleplumtree

outside,withthefaintlyflushedsnowliningitsbranchesandartfullydisposedalongitstrunk,stoodinfullsunlight.在阳光的普照之下，屋外的李子树的树干和枝丫被淡粉的积雪精致巧妙地装点着。8over越过goonandon一直继续下去Ilookedoutofmystudywindow,overthegarden,thefield,tothelowhillsbeyond,andthegroundwentonandon,theskywasthickgrey,andallthetreessomanyblackand

threateningshapes.我从书房看向窗外，越过花园、田野，再望向远处低矮的小山，沿着不断向前延伸的地面望去、天空成了厚重的灰色，所有的树木都显出一副黑黢黢和凶神恶煞的样子。9thewholeprospect全景【教材原文】Therewasindeedsomethingcuriouslydisturbingaboutthewholeprospect.整个景象确实会给人带来一种奇怪的、不安的感受。10turninto变成【教材原文】Itwasasifourkindlycountryside,closetotheveryheartofEngland,hadbeenturnedintoacruelgrassland.就好像我们这个靠近英格兰中心位置的亲切小乡村变成了暴躁的草原。本句中closetotheveryheartofEngland是插入语，修饰countryside，指出它的具体方位，即“靠近英格兰的中心”。这样的描写加强了气氛的渲染，使读者更加清楚地感受到countryside原本的样子。asif在本句中引导表语从句，从句内容不是真实的情况，故用虚拟语气。11atanymoment随时breakoutfrom从……爆发出来【教材原文】Atanymoment,itseemed,abodyofhorsemenmightbeseenbreakingoutfromtheblacktrees,somanyweaponsmightbeheardandsomedistantspotofsnowbereddened.仿佛随时可能看见一群骑兵从黑黢黢的树丛中冲出，可能听见武器的交错响声，最后好像看见远处的白雪一点点被血液
