新概念英語第三冊逐句精講語言點 第21課 丹尼爾.門多薩 (7)

　　Meanwhile, he founded a highly successful Academy and even Lord Byron became one of his pupils. He earned enormous sums of money and was paid as much as $100 for a single appearence. Despite this, he was so extravagant that he was always in debt.

　　19.Meanwhile, he founded a highly successful Academy and even Lord Byron became one of his pupils.

　　同時，他建立了一所拳擊學校，辦得很成功，連拜倫勛爵也成了他的學生。

　　語言點:要特別注意，found在本句中不是find的過去式或過去分詞形式，而是“創(chuàng)辦”的意思。

　　20. He earned enormous sums of money and was paid as much as $100 for a single appearence.

　　門多薩掙來大筆大筆的錢，一次出場費就多可達 100英鎊。

　　語言點:句子結(jié)構(gòu)分析:was paid是被動語態(tài)，指的是別人支付給他出場費。

　　21. Despite this, he was so extravagant that he was always in debt.

　　盡管收入不少，但他揮霍無度，經(jīng)常債臺高筑。

　　語言點:句子結(jié)構(gòu)分析:so…that…引導(dǎo)結(jié)果狀語從句，so extravagant說明原因“揮霍的”，that引出結(jié)“債臺高筑”。
