1. While he was traveling in space, Yang spoke to two astronauts aboard the International Space Station, which is orbiting the earth, American astronaut Edward Lu and Russian cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko. 当杨立伟在太空漫游时,他与两位正绕地球飞行的国际宇宙空间站上工作的宇航员——美国的爱德华·卢和俄罗斯的尤里·马林年科通了话。 这个句子的结构非常复杂。While he was traveling in space是while引导的时间状语从句,其余部分为主句。 主句系一个“主语+谓语+宾语”结构,但带有几个附加成分。 1)aboard the International Space Station 是介词短语作定语修饰two astronauts。 2)which is orbiting the earth 是非限制性定语从句,修饰the International Space Station。 3)American astronaut Edward Lu and Russian cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko 是two astronauts 的同位语。 2. Sean O'Keefe from NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) in the US said that Yang's space flight was “an important historical achievement and NASA wishes China continuing success with its space flight programme”.来自美国国家航空及太空总署的先·奥基夫说杨立伟的这次太空飞行是“一项具有重要历史意义的成就,同时也祝愿中国的太空飞行计划不断取得成功。” 1)此句为“主语+谓语+宾语从句”结构,宾语从句中包含两个由and连接的并列句。 2)在 “...NASA wishes China continuing success” 中,wish 后面接的是双宾语,即间接宾语China和直接宾语continuing success,这时wish的意思是“愿(某人幸运等);祝;(对人)问候”等。再如: I wish all of you, my dear friends, good luck. 亲爱的朋友们,我祝愿你们大家好运。 She wished his mother a good night and went to her bedroom. 她向妈妈道了声晚安就进卧室去了。 3. Amateur astronomer David Bates was looking at the moon through his telescope last night when he got a big surprise. 昨天晚上,业余天文爱好者戴维·贝茨在通过他的望远镜观察月球时,突然看到一件令他大为吃惊的事。 句中when引导的从句相当于一个由and 连接的并列分句,即“and then...或and at that time...”。When意为“(正在)这时”;“突然”等,其引导的从句一般位于句末。从句中的谓语动词通常用一般过去时,主句中通常用过去进行时态、过去完成时态或be about to do 结构。例如: 1) The astronaut was taking photos of the earth when he noticed a new star. 那位宇航员正在拍摄地球的照片,突然注意到一颗新星。 2) We had walked westward for about two kilometers when we were told that we were in the wrong direction. 我们已经向西走了大约两公里,这时有人告诉我们走错方向了。 3) I was about to go out when the telephone rang. 我正要出去的时候,电话铃响了。 4. “Could I possibly have your autograph on my arm?” asked Sam. 萨姆问道:“能请您在我的胳膊上签个名吗?” possibly 与can / could 连用以加强语气。1)用于肯定句,表示“设法”;“尽力”。 2)用于否定句,表示“无论如何也不能”。3)用于疑问句,表示“能否设法”、“到底;究竟”。例如: 1) He promised to help us as much as he possibly could. 他答应尽可能多地帮助我们。 2) I'm not rich myself. I can't possibly lend you so much money. 我自己也不富。我无论如何也不可能借给你那么多钱。 3) Could you possibly take care of my pet cat while I'm away? 我不在时,你能不能照看一下我的宠物猫呢?
