五、课文难句剖析

1. Do you find it funny to see someone sliding on a banana skin, bumping into someone else round a corner, or falling down a hole in the road?

剖析：(1)句中find 后的it为形式宾语, 形容词funny是宾补，不定式to see…in the road为真正的宾语；(2)作主语的不定式中有see sb. doing句型，sliding…bumping…falling三个现在分词短语都作someone的补足语；(3)要明白三个词的意思：bump into撞到，碰上；around the corner在拐角处；fall down掉下，倒下。

译文：你看到有人被香蕉皮滑倒，或看到有人在拐角处撞到另外一个人，或看到有人掉进路边一个洞里时，你会觉得滑稽可笑吗? 2. However, some actors can astonish us with the deep feelings they can inspire in us for a character they are playing.

剖析：(that) they can inspire in us是定语从句，修饰the deep feeling，意为“在我们身上鼓动起来的深深情感”；(that) they are playing也是定语从句，修饰a character，意为“因为/用他们所演的角色”。inspire…in sb. 鼓动起/激起/唤起某人的……

译文：然而，有些演员能用他们所演的角色在我们身上鼓动起来的深深情感震撼我们。

3. He played a poor and homeless person, who wore large trousers, worn-out shoes and a small round black hat and carried a walking stick.

剖析：这是个长句，who引导一个较长的非限制性定语从句；

a small round black hat中的hat前有“大小+形状+颜色”三个形容词作定语，在英语中多个形容词修饰名词时的顺序是：描绘+大小(长短，高低)+形状+年龄(新旧)+颜色+国籍或产地+物质材料+用途+名词。

译文：他扮演的是一位穷苦的无家可归的人，穿着大裤子，破鞋子，头顶着黑色的小圆帽，手里拿着一根手杖。
