19.He was greeted by an unpleasant smell which convinced him that I was telling the truth.
一股怪味襲來(lái),使他相信了我說(shuō)的真話。
語(yǔ)言點(diǎn):be greeted by的本意為“被問(wèn)候,被歡迎”,在此句中具有強(qiáng)烈的反語(yǔ)意味,充分表現(xiàn)了作者幽默的寫(xiě)作手法。
20. A few minutes later, I was able to hurry away with precious chalk marks on my baggage.
幾分鐘后,我終于被放行,手提劃著寶貴的粉筆記號(hào)的行李,匆匆離去。
語(yǔ)言點(diǎn):句子結(jié)構(gòu)分析: with precious chalk marks on my baggage作able to hurry away的伴隨狀語(yǔ)。Precious chalks為反語(yǔ)修辭格。
