protectedinthisway.三百年前，玛丽•沃特利•蒙塔古夫人给她的女儿接种了天

花疫苗，使她的孩子成为西方第一个以这种方式得到保护的人。

【点石成金】本句中，gotherdaughte门noculated为"get+宾语+宾补结构”,

当宾语与宾补构成被动关系时，使用过去分词形式。句中的makingherchildthe

firstpersonintheWesttobeprotectedinthisway为现在分词短语作结果状语。

2.WithoutMontagu/swillingnesstoadoptapracticeshehadlearnedfrom

othercultures,theintroductionofvaccineswouldneverhavetakenplace.如果不

是蒙塔古愿意采用她从其他文化中学到的做法，那么疫苗引进就永远不会发生。

【,点石成金】本句中，toadoptapracticeshehadlearnedfromothercultures

为动词不定式作名词willingness的后置定语;shehadlearnedfromothercultures

为省略了关系代词that/which的定语从句，that/which在定语从句中作宾语;整

个句子是一个表示与过去事实相反的含蓄虚拟条件句，WithoutMontagu's

willingnesstoadoptapracticeshehadlearnedfromothercultures为without弓|导

的条件句，theintroductionofvaccineswouldneverhavetakenplace为主句。
