# 危险的红色

## 课文学习台 {#study}

### 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：在一次斗牛期间，一个醉汉突然溜达到斗牛场的中间。人们开始大叫起来，但醉汉却没有意识到危险。当时那公牛正忙于对付斗牛士，但突然牛看见了醉汉，只见醉汉正大声说着粗鲁的话，手里挥动着一顶红帽子。对挑衅显然非常敏感的公牛完全撇开斗牛士，直奔醉汉而来。观众突然静了下来，可这醉汉像是很有把握似的。当公牛逼近他时，他踉跄地往旁边一闪，牛扑空了。观众欢呼起来，醉汉向人们鞠躬致谢。然而，此时已有3个人进入斗牛场，迅速把醉汉拉到安全的地方。好像连牛也在为他感到抱歉，因为牛一直同情地看着醉汉，直到醉汉被带离、不再碍事，才重新将注意力转向斗牛士。

* **caught sight of**：瞥见；看见；适合叙事中写突然看到的人或东西。

* **once more**：起初 / 终于 / 马上 / 首次 / 再一次；这些时间词不能随意互换，先看原文把哪两个阶段接起来。

#### 1. a drunk wandered…

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.

#### 2. 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.

#### 3. The bull was busy, but it caught sight of the drunk who…

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.

#### 4. the bull forgot all 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.

#### 5. The crowd grew quiet.

简单句，主系表结构.

#### 6. The drunk seemed sure of himself.

简单句，主系表结构.

#### 7. When the bull got close, he stepped aside.

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。

#### 8. 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.

#### 9. three men had come into the ring and they dragged the drunk.

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。

#### 10. the bull seemed to feel sorry for him, for it looked on until the drunk was out of the way.

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.
