  三、句式点睛
  1. Tie the corners of the handkerchief to the points of the cross, and you will have a nice strong kite.将手帕的各角系到十字架的顶部,你就做成了一个结实的风筝了。
  本句为“祈使句 + and / or + 陈述句”结构,在这种结构中,当前后两部分为承接关系时,用and;前后意思为相反关系时,用or。例如:
  Take more exercise and you’ll feel healthy. 多锻炼身体,你就会身体健康。
  Hurry up,or you’ll be late. 快点,否则会迟到的。
  在这个结构中,前面的祈使句转换成由if引导的条件状语从句,但必须将and 或or 去掉。再如:
  Use your head and you’ll find a way. = If you use your head, you’ll find a way.
  Hurry up, or you’ll be late. = If you don’t hurry up, you’ll be late.
  2. Having realized that I could use a kite to attract lightning, I decide to do an experiment. 在意识到可以使用风筝捕捉闪电之后,我决定做一个试验。
  句中的“Having realized that ...”是现在分词短语作时间状语,表示该动作发生在谓语动词所表示的动作之前,相当于“After I had realized that ...”。注意分词的逻辑主语应与句子的主语保持一致,即realized的主语也是I。例如:
  Having finished his homework, Jack ran out to play basketball. 做完家庭作业之后,杰克跑出去打篮球。
  Having been given such a good chance, he wouldn’t give it up to others.大家给了他这么好的一个机会,他不会把机会让给别人。
  3. The string was getting charged!绳子正在被充电!
  get charged意为“被充电”。最基本的被动语态是由“be+过去分词”构成的,但在现代英语中经常出现“get+过去分词”构成的被动语态,这时get起be动词的作用。作“变得”解,(相当于become),用于表示突然发生,未曾预料的事态。例如:
  Hundreds of people get killed every year by traffic accidents on the roads. 每年在公路交通事故中遇难身亡的人数以百计。
  My watch got broken while I was playing basketball. 我的手表在打篮球时给弄坏了。
  In the crowd I got separated from my family. 在人群中,我和家人失散了。
  注意: get-型被动语态一般不可接介词短语引出的动作执行者,如要表示动作的执行者,则需用“be+过去分词”。例如:
  The boy was hurt by a car on his way to school. 这孩子在他上学的路上被车伤着了。
  4. I had traveled only two hours one day when the winds increased so much that I had to put my tent before the winds became too strong.一天我只走了两个小时,风突然加大,我只好趁风力还不太大之前竖起帐篷。
  句中的before连词意为“在……以前”,它引导状语从句。由于汉英表达习惯的不同,在将before汉译时,其译法却多种多样。常见的有以下几种:
  1. 直译成“(在)……(以或之)前”。这时主句与before从句中的两个动作按时间先后依次发生。例如:
  Before I enter on the subject I have something to say. 在讨论这一问题之前,我有些话要说。
  They led a miserable life before their hometown was liberated. 他们家乡解放前生活很苦。
  2. 译成“(后)……才”。例如:
  The train had left before he got to the station. 火车开了他才到车站。
  It seemed a long time before my turn came. 似乎过了好大一会儿才轮到我。
  3. 译成“未……就”或“还没有(来得及)……就”。例如:
  The day began to break before we got to the hilltop. 我们还没有到达山顶天就开始亮了。
  Before I could say a single word, he ran away. 我连一句话也没来得及说他就跑了。
  4. 译为“趁(着)”。例如:
  Study hard before it is too late. 趁早努力学习。
  I’ll do it now before I forget. 趁着还没忘记,我现在就做。
  5. There is no doubt that 100 years ago animal testing was cruel but today animals in experiments are very well taken care of.毫无疑问,100年前的动物测试是残酷的,但如今,试验中的动物受到了很好的照料。
  句中that引导的名词性从句是对名词doubt的解释说明,这种句子称为同位语从句。同位语从句说明其前面的名词的具体内容。同位语从句通常由that引导,可用于同位语从句的名词有advice、demand、doubt、fact、hope、idea、information、message、news、order、problem、promise、question、request、suggestion、truth、wish、word等,说明这些名词的具体内容,引导词只起引导作用,不在从句中作任何成分,一般不可省略。例如:
  The news that he had not pass the exam depressed him a lot. 没有通过考试的消息让他很沮丧。
  They did not believe the report that the area was dangerous. 他们不相信这一地区有危险的报道。
