He waved desperately to his companion, who had been water skiing for the last fifteen minutes. Both men had hardly had time to realize what was happening when they were thrown violently into the sea. The speedboat had struck a buoy, but it continued to move very quickly across the water. Both men had just begun to swim towards the shore, when they noticed with dismay that the speedboat was moving in a circle. It now came straight towards them at tremendous speed. In less than a minute, it roared past them only a few feet away. After it had passed, they swam on as quickly as they could because they knew that the boat would soon return. They had just had enough time to swim out of danger when the boat again completed a circle. On this occasion, however, it had slowed down considerably. The petrol had nearly all been used up. Before long, the noise dropped completely and the boat began to drift gently across the water. 中文理解：当这人试图让快艇转弯时，方向盘竟然脱落在他手里。他绝望地向他的伙伴挥手，他的伙伴在过去的15分钟里一直在滑水。他们两个还没来得及意识到究竟发生了什么事情，就被猛地抛入了海里。快艇撞上了一个浮标，但它仍在水面上快速地行驶着。两个人刚准备向岸边游去，就惊愕地注意到快艇正在转着圈行驶，快艇现在正以惊人的速度向他们冲过来。不到1分钟的工夫，快艇从离他们只有几英尺远的地方呼啸着擦身过去。 快艇过去之后，他们以最快的速度向前游去，因为他们知道快艇马上就要再转回来。他们刚刚勉强游出了危险区，快艇就又转完了一圈。然而这一次它的速度慢多了。汽油几乎已经耗尽。没过多久，噪音便彻底消失，快艇开始在水面上随波漂流。 * **in a circle**：高速 / 绕圈 / 准时 / 说真话；按原句识别是在说明方式、时间还是话语是否真实。 #### 1. As the man tried to swing the speedboat round, the steering wheel came away… 复合句，主句主谓结构，动词词组come away = to become detached 离开；脱开. \[1] 此处英语释义摘自《柯林斯英汉双解大词典》. as 引导的时间状语从句为主谓宾结构. #### 2. He waved…who had been water skiing… 复合句，主句主谓结构，后面是who 引导的定语从句，主谓结构，用了过去完成进行时had been water skiing，需要留意. #### 3. Both men had had time to realize…when… 复合句，主句主谓宾结构，这里to realize 不定式作time 的后置定语，这个不定式比较长，含有一个what 引导的从句作realize 的宾语，这个宾语从句为主谓结构. 本句用到了过去完成时，had + done 形式，只不过这里的动词是have time 的have，其过去分词正好也是had，于是出现了had had time. 之后有一个when 引导的时间状语从句，为主谓结构. 第38课出现过hardly 一词，这里再复习一词，几乎不，表示否定. #### 4. The speedboat had struck a buoy, but it continued to move. 并列句，but 连接前后两句，均为主谓宾结构. #### 5. Both men had begun to swim when they noticed that the speedboat was moving. 复合句，主句主谓宾结构，后面是when 引导的时间状语从句，该从句为主谓 + 宾语从句结构，属于从句里面包含从句，该宾语从句为主谓结构. #### 6. It came. 简单句，主谓结构. #### 7. it roared… 简单句，主谓结构，past 在这里是介词. #### 8. After it had passed, they swam on as they could because they knew that the boat would return. 复合句，本句结构较为复杂，主句是主谓结构，they swam on，as…as 结构，可以参考第81课的第13句，为比较状语从句. 句首有一个after 引导的时间状语从句，为主谓结构，这里也用了过去完成时，had passed，需要留意. 最后是because 引导的原因状语从句，为主谓 + that 引导的宾语从句，该从句为主谓结构. #### 9. They had had enough time when the boat completed a circle. 复合句，主句为主谓宾结构，后面是when 引导的时间状语从句，也是主谓宾结构. #### 11. The petrol had been used up. 简单句，主谓结构，用了被动语态，被用尽了，all 在这里是副词，completely 之 意，作程度状语，跟nearly 一起表示几乎完全的意思. #### 12. the noise dropped and the boat began to drift. 并列句，and 连接两句，前句为主谓结构，后句为主谓宾结构. ## 学完这一课 换一个时间、人物或地点，用三句话讲一件自己的小事。 [Nce · 本册复习台](/new-concept/book-2/review) · [三册选择地图](/new-concept/) *译文与解析据吴应时整理资料及本站首轮审校稿；词伙与练习提示为本站学习设计。原PDF第210—212页，2022年3月第1版。*
