新概念英語第三冊逐句精講語言點 第11課 無罪 (4)

　　All the thing I had packed so carefully were soon in a dreadful mess. I felt sure I would never be able to close the case again. Suddenly, I saw the Officer's face light up.

　　10. All the thing I had packed so carefully were soon in a dreadful mess.

　　所有細心包裝好的東西一會兒工夫就亂成一團。

　　dreadful ['dredful]

　　adj. 可怕的;糟透的，令人不快的

　　例句:

　　I cannot imagine what to do in this dreadful situation.

　　我不能想像在這么糟的情況下該怎么辦。

　　mess [mes]

　　n. 混亂;食堂，伙食團;困境;臟亂的東西

　　vt. 弄亂，弄臟;毀壞;使就餐

　　vi. 把事情弄糟;制造臟亂;玩弄

　　例句:

　　See how your cat has messed up my ball of wool.

　　瞧你的貓把我的絨線球弄亂了。

　　語言點:句子結構分析:本句中的all the things為先行詞，其后的定語從句必須由that引導，即(that)I had packed so carefully;不用which,that可以省去。In a dreadful mess的意思是“亂成一團”，是固定搭配。

　　11. I felt sure I would never be able to close the case again.

　　我相信那箱子再也關不上了。

　　語言點:句子結構分析:sure后面的賓語從句省略了引導詞that。

　　12. Suddenly, I saw the Officer's face light up.

　　忽然，我看到官員臉上露出了自得的神色。

　　語言點1:句子結構分析:see為感官動詞，后面一般接不帶to的動詞不定式，比如這句話的結構就是see sth.light up。

　　語言點2:light up常指“得意洋洋”，在此句中作face的賓語補足語。
