# 70 · 危险的红色

### 第1段

During a bullfight, a drunk suddenly wandered into the middle of the ring. The crowd began to shout, but the drunk was unaware of the danger. The bull was busy with the matador at the time, but it suddenly caught sight of the drunk who was shouting rude remarks and waving a red cap. Apparently sensitive to criticism, the bull forgot all about the matador and charged at the drunk. The crowd suddenly grew quiet. The drunk, however, seemed quite sure of himself. When the bull got close to him, he clumsily stepped aside to let it pass. The crowd broke into cheers and the drunk bowed. By this time, however, three men had come into the ring and they quickly dragged the drunk to safety. Even the bull seemed to feel sorry for him, for it looked on sympathetically until the drunk was out of the way before once more turning its attention to the matador.

中文理解：一场斗牛表演中，一个醉汉突然晃进场地中央。观众大喊起来，可他浑然不知自己身处危险。 公牛原先正忙着应付斗牛士，忽然看见醉汉一边骂骂咧咧，一边挥着红帽子。它似乎格外听不得批评，把斗牛士忘在一旁，径直朝醉汉冲去。 观众一下安静了。醉汉倒显得很有把握，等公牛逼近，才笨拙地往旁边一闪，让牛冲了过去。 观众欢呼起来，醉汉还鞠了一躬。 不过这时，三个人已经进场，很快把他拖到了安全的地方。 就连公牛似乎也有些可怜他，带着同情的目光看着他被带走，这才又把注意力转回斗牛士身上。

* **unaware of**：没有意识到；un-是否定前缀，理解时不能丢掉。

* **caught sight of**：看见；注意到；常描述忽然注意到的人或物，适合推进故事。

* **sensitive to**：对……敏感；to是介词；本课幽默地说公牛对批评敏感。

* **stepped aside**：闪到一边；aside说明向侧面让开，而非向前走。

* **broke into cheers**：突然欢呼起来；break into描述突然开始某种集体声音或反应。

* **out of the way**：不再挡路；离开危险处；本课指公牛行动范围之外，不是迷路。

#### During a bullfight, a drunk suddenly wandered into the middle of the ring.

简单句，主谓结构. 这里drunk 是名词，酒鬼，醉汉，不过该词更常用作形容词，教材上的词汇注释只写该词在课文中的意思，并不全面.

#### The crowd began to shout, but the drunk was unaware of the danger.

并列句，but 连接前后两句，前句为主谓宾结构；后句为主系表结构.

#### The bull was busy with the matador at the time, but it suddenly caught sight of the drunk who was shouting rude remarks and waving a red cap.

并列复合句，but 连接前后两句，前句为简单句，主系表结构；后句为复合句，主 句为主谓宾结构，后面有一个who 引导的定语从句，该定语从句是一个并列结构，and 连接两个句子，前句为主谓宾结构，用的是过去进行时，was shouting；而后句其实也是过去进行时，was waving a cap，句中单独一个waving 按道理是不能作谓语的，于是你需要理解这里还有一个was 因行文的简洁，在此省略了.

#### Apparently sensitive to criticism, the bull forgot all about the matador and charged at the drunk.

并列句，前后两句由and 连接，均为主谓宾结构. charge 一词在这里作动词猛冲之意，这个词还有别的更为常见的意思，比如充电，要价，控告等，务必查字典，把动词和名词的所有义项予以积累.

\[关键句型] 复习与for, with, of, to, at, from, in, on 和about 等介词连用的词语，本处charge at 即向什么猛冲，构成动词短语.

#### The crowd suddenly grew quiet.

简单句，主系表结构.

#### The drunk, however, seemed quite sure of himself.

简单句，主系表结构.

#### When the bull got close to him, he clumsily stepped aside to let it pass.

复合句，主句主谓结构，这里目的状语可以额外细分to let it . 句首是when 引导的时间状语从句，got close 是主系表结构，close 表示“接近的”，to him 指明接近的对象。

#### The crowd broke into cheers and the drunk bowed.

并列句，and 连接前后两句，前句主谓宾结构；后句主谓结构.

#### By this time, however, three men had come into the ring and they quickly dragged the drunk to safety.

并列句，and 前的 had come into the ring 是主谓结构，into the ring 是介词短语；and 后 dragged the drunk 是主谓宾结构。

#### Even the bull seemed to feel sorry for him, for it looked on sympathetically until the drunk was out of the way before once more turning its attention to the matador.

并列复合句，for 连接前后两句，前句为主系表结构，不定式动词短语作表语，可以额外细分to feel sorry \[for him]. 后一句为复合句，主句 it looked on 是主谓结构，look on 表示“旁观”，没有直接宾语，后面跟了 until 引导的时间状语从句，主系表结构，最后有一个before 引导的时间状语，不是从句，需要区分.

## 学完这一课

先沿这条线复述《危险的红色》：醉汉误入斗牛场 → 公牛转向他冲来 → 醉汉侥幸避开 → 赢来欢呼，还鞠躬致意 → 有人及时把他拖走 → 公牛重新回到表演中。再借一个结构讲自己的事：先用短句介绍本课一个对象，再用关系从句补上识别它的重要细节。
