# 44 · 穿过森林

### 第1段

Mrs. Anne Sterling did not think of the risk she was taking when she ran through a forest after two men. They had rushed up to her while she was having a picnic at the edge of a forest with her children and tried to steal her handbag. In the struggle, the strap broke and, with the bag in their possession, both men started running through the trees. Mrs. Sterling got so angry that she ran after them. She was soon out of breath, but she continued to run. When she caught up with them, she saw that they had sat down and were going through the contents of the bag, so she ran straight at them. The men got such a fright that they dropped the bag and ran away. 'The strap needs mending,' said Mrs. Sterling later, 'but they did not steal anything.'

中文理解：安妮·斯特林太太穿过树林追赶两个男人时，根本没顾上想这样有多危险。 当时，她正和孩子们在树林边野餐。两人突然冲上来抢她的手提包。争抢中，包带断了，他们拿着包就往树林里跑。 斯特林太太气极了，拔腿就追。没多久便气喘吁吁，可她还是不停地跑。 赶上他们时，她看见两人已经坐下，正翻看包里的东西，于是径直冲了过去。 两人吓了一大跳，扔下包就逃。 她后来告诉人们：“包带得修一修，不过，他们什么也没偷走。”

* **having a picnic**：正在野餐；picnic是可数名词，保留a。

* **at the edge of**：在……边缘；edge强调界线或边沿，不是中心。

* **in their possession**：由他们占有；物主代词随持有人变化，不是in possession of的主语关系。

* **out of breath**：上气不接下气；breath是名词；breathe才是动词。

* **caught up with**：追上；赶上；过去式caught；with引出被追上的人或进度。

* **going through**：翻查；仔细查看；本课是翻查包内东西，不是穿过空间。

#### Mrs. Anne Sterling did not think of the risk she was taking when she ran through a forest after two men.

复合句，主句主谓宾结构，后面是一个省略了引导词that 的定语从句，后面是when 引导的时间状语从句，主谓宾结构，run after 表示“追赶”，这里 after 是介词，不是动词。

#### They had rushed up to her while she was having a picnic at the edge of a forest with her children and tried to steal her handbag.

复合句，主句是and 连接的并列句，前句为主谓结构，里面有while she was having a picnic 作时间状语从句；and 后句则省略了主语，继续描述窃贼（they）想偷东西.

本句的steal 是偷窃的意思，需要与rob 进行区别，教材中在下一课（第45课）的 Special difficulties 做了讲解，见教材P204.

#### In the struggle, the strap broke and, with the bag in their possession, both men started running through the trees.

并列句，and 连接两句，前句主谓结构，后句主谓宾结构.

\[关键句型] 本课复习动名词，本句的running 即该表达.

#### Mrs. Sterling got so angry that she ran after them.

复合句，主句主系表结构，从句是so…that 句型，that 引导结果状语从句，主谓宾结构.

#### She was soon out of breath, but she continued to run.

并列句，but 连接前后两句，前句主系表结构，后句主谓宾结构.

#### When she caught up with them, she saw that they had sat down and were going through the contents of the bag, so she ran straight at them.

并列复合句，so 连接前后两句，so 前面为复合句，主句为主谓 + 宾语从句结构，该宾语从句由that 引导，为并列句，用and 连接，该从句的前句为主谓结构，后句为省略了主语的主谓宾结构. 句首是when 引导的时间状语从句，主谓宾结构.

so 后句为简单句，主谓结构.

#### The men got such a fright that they dropped the bag and ran away.

复合句，主句为主谓宾结构，such…that 句型，后面是that 引导的结果状语从句，该从句为并列句，and 连接前后两句，前句为主谓宾结构，后句为省略了主语的主谓结构.

#### 'The strap needs mending,' said Mrs. Sterling later, 'but they did not steal anything.'

并列句，but 连接前后两句，均为主谓宾结构.

\[关键句型] 本句的mend 用了动名词mending 作宾语.

## 学完这一课

先沿这条线复述《穿过森林》：不顾危险追赶 → 回看抢包的经过 → 气愤让她继续追 → 追上时直接冲过去 → 抢匪反而吓跑了 → 最后清点损失。再借一个结构讲自己的事：给本课人物的一种强烈状态补出结果，再换成自己的真实经历。
