新概念英語第三冊逐句精講語言點 第15課 五十便士的麻煩 (3)

　　My nephew, George, has a money box but it is always empty. Very few of the fifty pence pieces and pound coins I have given him have found heir way there. I gave him fifty pence yesterday and advised him to save it.

　　7. My nephew, George, has a money box but it is always empty.

　　我的外甥喬治有一個儲蓄罐，但總是空空的。

　　語言點:句子結(jié)構(gòu)分析:George是my nephew的同位語。But連接兩個并列的分句，是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，說明儲蓄罐里沒有錢。

　　8. Very few of the fifty pence pieces and pound coins I have given him have found heir way there.

　　我給了不少50便士的硬幣，但沒有幾個存到儲蓄罐里。

　　語言點1:句子結(jié)構(gòu)分析:very few of the fifty pence pieces and pound coins放在句首，強調(diào)“存入儲蓄罐的錢太少”。I have given him為省略了引導(dǎo)詞的定語從句，修飾pound coins。

　　語言點2:請大家注意以下短語的區(qū)別:a fifty pence表示“一張50便士的鈔票”，fifty pence pieces意為“多張50便士的鈔票”，fifty pennies則為“50梅1便士的硬幣”。

　　9. I gave him fifty pence yesterday and advised him to save it.

　　昨天，我給了他50便士讓存起來。

　　語言點:句子結(jié)構(gòu)分析:and連接兩個謂語gave和advised。
