第70课 Red for danger 危险的红色 — 语法精讲


课文原文与参考译文

课文原文

During a bullfight, a drunk suddenly wandered into the middle of the ring. The crowd began to shout, but the drunk was unaware of the danger. The bull was busy with the matador at the time, but it suddenly caught sight of the drunk who was shouting rude remarks and waving a red cap. Apparently sensitive to criticism, the bull forgot all about the matador and charged at the drunk. The crowd suddenly grew quiet. The drunk, however, seemed quite sure of himself. When the bull got close to him, he clumsily stepped aside to let it pass. The crowd broke into cheers and the drunk bowed. By this time, however, three men had come into the ring and they quickly dragged the drunk to safety. Even the bull seemed to feel sorry for him, for it looked on sympathetically until the drunk was out of the way before once more turning its attention to the matador.

参考译文

在一次斗牛表演中,一个醉汉突然踉跄着进入了斗牛场中央。观众开始大喊大叫,但醉汉没有意识到危险。当时公牛正忙于对付斗牛士,但它突然看见了那个醉汉——醉汉正在喊着粗鲁的话,挥舞着一顶红帽子。显然对批评很敏感,公牛把斗牛士完全抛在脑后,向醉汉冲去。观众突然安静下来。然而,醉汉似乎很自信。当公牛靠近他时,他笨拙地闪到一边让它过去。观众爆发出欢呼声,醉汉鞠了一躬。然而到这时,三个人已经进入了场内,迅速把醉汉拖到安全地带。就连公牛似乎也为他感到难过,因为它同情地看着醉汉,直到他离开才再次把注意力转向斗牛士。

时态说明

  • had come(过去完成时):表示”在(过去的)某个时间点之前已经完成的动作”
  • By this time 指”到这时为止”,即公牛冲过来、醉汉鞠躬的时刻
  • “三个人进入场内”发生在”醉汉鞠躬”之前,所以用过去完成时

句子结构:并列句 (Compound Sentence) - 两个分句时态不同

本句涉及语法术语过去完成时 | 介词短语 | 时间状语 | 并列句


句10:Even the bull seemed to feel sorry for him, for it looked on sympathetically until the drunk was out of the way before once more turning its attention to the matador.

主句: Even the bull seemed to feel sorry for him

                    ├── its attention  动名词的宾语
                    └── to the matador  介词短语

复杂结构说明

  • for 在此作并列连词,表示”因为”,相当于 because,但语气较弱,常用于书面语
  • until 引导时间状语从句,表示”直到…为止”
  • before + 动名词 结构,表示”在…之前”,turning是动名词作介词before的宾语

句子结构:并列复合句 (Compound-Complex Sentence)

本句涉及语法术语不定式 | 时间状语从句 | 并列连词 | 动名词 | 介词+动名词


三、功能语法分析 (Functional Grammar)

3.1 时态系统分析

本课共使用4种时态

时态英文结构例句功能
一般过去时Simple Pastdidwandered, began, forgot, charged叙述过去发生的动作
过去进行时Past Continuouswas/were doingwas shouting, was waving描述过去某一时刻正在进行的动作
过去完成时Past Perfecthad donehad come表示”过去的过去”
系动词+形容词Linking Verb+Adj.was/were/seemed + adj.was unaware, seemed sure描述过去的状态

时态分布统计

时态类型出现次数占比
一般过去时1872%
过去进行时28%
过去完成时14%
系表结构416%
总计25100%

过去完成时深度分析

By this time, three men had come into the ring.

时间轴分析:
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────►
    │              │              │
    过去某时        过去完成时      一般过去时
    (更早)         (had come)     (dragged/bowed)
    
    "三个人进来" 发生在 "醉汉鞠躬" 之前
    用过去完成时表示"过去的过去"

过去完成时的逻辑功能

  • 表示在过去某一时间点或动作之前已经完成的动作
  • 常与 by, before, when 等时间状语连用
  • 本课中”By this time”明确了参照时间点

3.2 过去分词作形容词

本课出现多处”be + 过去分词/形容词 + 介词”结构:

结构分析含义
was unaware ofbe + 过去分词形容词 + of未意识到…
was busy withbe + 形容词 + with忙于…
was out of the waybe + 介词短语不挡路;让开
felt sorry for系动词 + 形容词 + for为…感到难过
be sure ofbe + 形容词 + of确信…
be sensitive tobe + 形容词 + to对…敏感

语法要点

  • unaware 原为过去分词,现已形容词化
  • busy 本身是形容词
  • 这些结构中的介词是固定搭配,需要记忆

3.3 定语从句的使用

本课出现1个定语从句

...the drunk who was shouting rude remarks and waving a red cap.
     │    │  │         │                  │    │
     │    │  │         谓语1              连词  谓语2
     │    │  └── 定语从句(限制性)
     │    └── 关系代词who(作主语,不可省略)
     └── 先行词(指人)

定语从句的功能分析

  • 逻辑功能:对先行词”the drunk”进行限定说明,指出是”哪个醉汉”
  • 修辞功能:丰富叙事细节,描绘醉汉当时的具体行为
  • 语法特点
    • 限制性定语从句(无逗号)
    • 关系代词 who 在从句中作主语,不可省略
    • 从句内部使用过去进行时(was shouting and waving),表示当时正在进行的动作

3.4 形容词短语作状语

本课经典结构:

Apparently sensitive to criticism, the bull forgot all about the matador...

        │                │
        │                └── 形容词sensitive + 补足语to criticism
        └── 副词apparently修饰整个形容词短语

功能分析:
1. 语法功能:前置状语(相当于原因状语从句的省略)
2. 逻辑功能:说明公牛冲向醉汉的原因
3. 完整形式:Because the bull was apparently sensitive to criticism, ...
4. 修辞效果:简洁有力,突出因果关系

类似的形容词短语作状语

  • Angry at the delay, we complained to the manager.
  • Tired of waiting, I left.
  • Confident of success, he started the project.

3.5 不定式作目的状语

本课出现2处不定式作目的状语

例句不定式结构含义逻辑功能
…stepped aside to let it passto let为了让它过去表示动作的目的
…dragged the drunk to safetyto safety拖到安全地带to + 抽象名词 = 表示方向/目的

注意

  • “to let it pass” 中,let是使役动词,后接省略to的不定式
  • “to safety” 中,to是介词,safety是抽象名词

3.6 时间状语从句

本课出现多个时间状语表达

表达类型含义功能
During a bullfight介词短语在斗牛期间交代背景时间
at the time介词短语当时指代过去某时刻
When the bull got close to him时间状语从句当公牛靠近时引出关键情节
By this time介词短语到这时为止表示时间界限(与过去完成时连用)
until the drunk was out of the way时间状语从句直到醉汉离开表示动作持续到某时点
before once more turning…介词+动名词在再次转向之前表示先后顺序

时间状语从句时态规则

  • 主句用一般过去时,从句用一般过去时(When the bull got close… he stepped…)
  • 主句用过去完成时,时间状语用 by + 时间(By this time, three men had come…)

四、本课核心语法点

4.1.1 结构

had + 过去分词 (P.P.)

4.1.2 本课例句

    │              │              │
  三人进场       醉汉鞠躬        叙述时刻
  (更早)        (参照点)       (现在)
    │
    └── 用过去完成时表示"过去的过去"

过去完成时过去某时”过去的过去”

4.2 定语从句 (Attributive Clauses)

4.2.1 本课例句分析

...the drunk who was shouting rude remarks and waving a red cap.

成分分析:
- 先行词:the drunk(人)
- 关系代词:who(作主语,不可省略)
- 从句谓语1:was shouting(过去进行时)
- 从句谓语2:(was) waving(过去进行时,省略was)
- 从句宾语1:rude remarks
- 从句宾语2:a red cap

4.2.2 限制性定语从句 vs 非限制性定语从句

类型标点功能关系词可否省略例句

4.3.2 结构公式

     ↓              ↓
  修饰形容词      形容词补足语

4.3.3 完整形式对比

5.2 四级真题链接

【仿真题1】过去完成时(根据四级考点原创模拟)

By the time I arrived at the station, the train ______.

A. left B. has left C. had left D. was leaving

答案:C

解析:By the time + 过去时间/动作,主句用过去完成时,表示”到…时候为止,已经…”。这与课文”By this time, three men had come into the ring”结构相同。

【仿真题2】定语从句(根据四级考点原创模拟)

The man ______ is speaking at the meeting is a famous scientist.

A. who B. whom C. which D. whose

答案:A

解析:定语从句修饰先行词the man(指人),关系词在从句中作主语,用who。课文中的”the drunk who was shouting…”是同样结构。注意:whom作宾语,which指物,whose表所属。

【真题】2019年6月 大学英语四级考试(公开来源:教育部教育考试院公开样题)

I didn’t know ______ about the accident because I was focused on my research then.

A. something B. anything C. everything D. nothing

答案:B

解析词汇辨析题。anything用于否定句,表示”任何事情”。本题与课文语法点”be unaware of”(未意识到/不知道)语义相关,都表达”不知道/不了解”的含义。
