Pumas are large, cat-like animals which are found in America.
在英文的表达方式中,首先呈现给读者的是结果(和中文不同)
英文擅长用长句,中文擅长用短句。
-- Pandas are large cat-like animals which are found in Asia. (panda n.熊猫)
cat-like 猫一样的, 偷偷摸摸的 / dog-like狗一样的 / life-like栩栩如生的
When reports came into London Zoo that a wild puma had been spotted forty-five miles
south of London, they were not taken seriously.
一般来讲定语从句和同位语从句紧随在被修饰名词的后面,但为了保持句子平衡,也可以把
谓语动词放到从句之前
1> 定语从句只是对于被修饰词的补充说明、修饰
-- 定语从句的引导词:
-- 指人:主语 who;宾语 who, whom;定语 whose
-- 指物:that(也可以指人)/ which
-- 时间状语:when / 地点状语:where / 原因状语:why
2> 同位语从句则是讲述被修饰名词的内容
-- 同位语从句的引导词:
-- 名词(做主语、宾语等):关系词用 that 而不是 which
-- 时间:when; 地点:where
-- 定语从句中没有 what 这个关系词,但 what 可以引导同位语从句
-- An idea came to her that she might do the experiment in another way.
-- I have no idea what has happened to him。
they were not taken seriously(they指代reports)
take sth seriously = deal with sth seriously 认真地对待某事
-- I always take your suggestions seriously.
take sth lightly 草率地对待某事 (lightly adv.轻率地)
-- Don’t take the hot potato lightly (hot potato n.棘手的问题)
However, as the evidence began to accumulate, experts from the Zoo felt obliged to
investigate, for the descriptions given by people who claimed to have seen the puma were
extraordinarily similar.
However adv.然而(起转折作用)
As 连词:随着, 当...之时
过去分词做定语:
-- the descriptions given by people
-- the story told by the sailor (n.海员, 水手, 船员)
-- a book written by Luxun
claim to have done sth 声称曾经做过某事
-- He claimed to have been the manager of the large shop.
The hunt for the puma began in a small village where a woman picking blackberries saw
'a large cat' only five yards away from her.
Where a woman picking… 定语从句
-- I still remember the school where I studied English.
