新概念英語(yǔ)第三冊(cè)逐句精講語(yǔ)言點(diǎn) 第20課 飛行員的先驅(qū) (4)

　　Latham, however, did not give up easily. He, too, arrived near Calais on the same day with a new 'Antoinette'. It looked as if there would be an exciting race across the Channel. Both planes were going to take off on July 25th, but Latham failed to get up early enough.

　　10. He, too, arrived near Calais on the same day with a new 'Antoinette'.

　　同一天，他駕駛一架新的“安特瓦特”號(hào)飛機(jī)來(lái)到了加來(lái)附近。

　　語(yǔ)言點(diǎn):句子結(jié)構(gòu)分析:這個(gè)句子為調(diào)整后的句式，原句應(yīng)為:He,too,arrived near Calais with a new Antoinette on the same day.但如果這么寫(xiě)，就會(huì)顯得頭重腳輕，而把較長(zhǎng)的方式狀語(yǔ)with a new Antoinette放到時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)on the same day之后，整個(gè)句子就顯得較為平衡了。

　　11. It looked as if there would be an exciting race across the Channel.

　　看來(lái)會(huì)有一場(chǎng)激烈的飛越英吉利海峽的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)。

　　語(yǔ)言點(diǎn):句子結(jié)構(gòu)分析:注意句子中虛擬語(yǔ)氣的失態(tài)為過(guò)去將來(lái)時(shí)。

　　12. Both planes were going to take off on July 25th, but Latham failed to get up early enough.

　　兩天飛機(jī)都打算在7月25日起飛，但萊瑟姆那天起床晚了。

　　語(yǔ)言點(diǎn):failed to get up 不可翻譯為“起床失敗了”，而應(yīng)理解為“沒(méi)能起床”。
