　　雅思基础阅读难句解析-插入结构

　　9 While we were waiting for the coffee, the head waiter, , came up to us bearing a large basket full of huge apples.

　　结构：共有2个谓语动词：were waiting/came，其中主句谓语动词为came。with an ingratiating smile on his false face是插入语，分隔了主语和谓语。Ingratiating这个形容词修饰smile，不认识也不妨碍理解。拆分为：

　　1) The head waiter came up to us bearing a large basket full of huge apples.

　　2) While we were waiting for the coffee.

　　翻译：正在我们等咖啡上来的时候，领班面带着奉承的微笑，走到我们跟前，带来了一大篮子的特大苹果。
