# 呼救信号

## 课文学习台 {#study}

### 第1段

When a light passenger plane flew off course some time ago, it crashed in the mountains and its pilot was killed. The only passengers, a young woman and her two baby daughters, were unhurt. It was the middle of winter. Snow lay thick on the ground. The woman knew that the nearest village was miles away. When it grew dark, she turned a suitcase into a bed and put the children inside it, covering them with all the clothes she could find. During the night, it got terribly cold. The woman kept as near as she could to the children and even tried to get into the case herself, but it was too small. Early next morning, she heard planes passing overhead and wondered how she could send a signal. Then she had an idea. She stamped out the letters 'SOS' in the snow. Fortunately, a pilot saw the signal and sent a message by radio to the nearest town. It was not long before a helicopter arrived on the scene to rescue the survivors of the plane crash.

中文理解：不久前，一架轻型客机偏离了航线，在山区坠毁，飞行员丧生。 一位年轻的女人和她的两个女婴，作为机上仅有的乘客，没有受伤。 此时正值隆冬季节，地上积着厚厚的雪。这位女人知道，最近的村庄少说也有数英里远。天黑下来的时候，她把手提箱当作床，把两个孩子放了进去，又把所有能找到的衣服都盖在了孩子们身上。夜里，天冷得厉害。这位妇女尽可能地靠近孩子，甚至自己也想钻进箱子里去，只是箱子太小了。 第二天一大早，她听到头顶上有飞机飞过，但不知道怎样才能发送信号。后来她有了一个主意。她在雪地上踩出了 “SOS”这3个字母。 幸运得很，一位飞行员看到这个信号，用无线电给最近的城镇发了消息。没过多久，一架直升飞机飞抵飞机失事现场，来搭救这几位幸存者。

* **send a signal**：发信号或消息 / 在……结束时 / 日夜；at the end of 明确某个末尾；in the end 总结最终结果。

#### 1. When a plane flew off course, it crashed and its pilot was killed.

并列复合句，and 连接两个句子，首句为复合句，主句为主谓结构，when 从句 flew off course 表示“偏离航线”，off course 是说明飞行方向的表达，course 不是 flew 的直接宾语。 后句为主谓结构.

#### 2. The passengers were unhurt.

简单句，主系表结构，这里unhurt 是形容词，所以作表语，而不是像上一句was killed 一起做谓语.

#### 4. Snow lay thick.

简单句，主系表结构，这里lay 是系动词，后面的形容词thick 作表语.

#### 5. The woman knew that the village was miles away.

复合句，主谓 + 宾语从句，该宾语从句为主系表结构.

#### 6. When it grew dark, she turned a suitcase and put the children…

并列复合句，主句为and 连接两个谓语的并列句，均为主谓宾结构，前句有when 引导的时间状语从句，该从句为主系表结构. 最后是现在分词短语作状语，只不过这个状语之中包括了一个she could find 的定语从句修饰clothes，这个从句属于成分之中的，此处额外予以划分.

#### 8. The woman kept as near as she could and tried to get into the case, but it was too small.

并列复合句，整个句子第一层为but 连接的两个句子. 第二层则是but 前面的句子，分为and 连接两个谓语的并列句，第一句为主系表结构，这里面有一个as 引导的状语从句，主谓结构；而第二句则是省略了主语的句子，tried 作谓语，动词不定式短语作宾语.

最后是but 后面的句子，主系表结构.

#### 9. she heard planes passing overhead and wondered how she could send a signal.

并列复合句，and 连接两个句子，前句为主谓宾 + 宾补；后句为省略了主语的谓语 + 宾语从句结构，宾语从句为主谓宾结构.

#### 11. She stamped out the letters…

简单句，主谓宾结构，这里stamp 作动词，和out 一起构成动词词组，要多查字典.

#### 12. a pilot saw the signal and sent a message…

并列句，均为主谓宾结构.

#### 13. It was not long before a helicopter arrived…

复合句，主句主系表结构，后面是before 引导的时间状语从句，to rescue 动词不定式短语为目的状语，并非从句，该状语比较长，为了便于大家的理解，我们额外多划分了一个定语，用来修饰the survivors，供参考.
