  9.We welcome the seasons by the riverside, crowning the youngest girl with flowers in the spring, holding a summer festival on Midsummer Eve, giving thanks for the harvest in the autumn, and throwing a holy wreath into the current in the winter.

  我们在河边迎接一年四季。春天在河边为最年轻的姑娘戴上花冠,夏天在河边欢庆“仲夏前夜”,秋天在河边丰收而感恩,冬天往河中抛撒一个冬表花环。

  语言点:句子结构分析:请特别注意句中crowning,holding,giving,throwing形成的平行结构。

  10.After a long period of rain the river may overflow its banks.

  久雨这后,河水会泛滥成灾。

  11.This is a rare occurrence as our climate seldom guest to extremes.

  但是在我们这里,气候很少发生异常,河水极少泛滥。

  语言点:句子结构分析:as引导原因状语从句。

  12.We are lucky in that only the lower fields, which make up a very small proportion of our farm, are effected by flooding, but other farms are less favorably sited, and flooding can sometimes spell disaster for their owners.

  值得庆幸的是,只有低洼的受到洪水影响,而低洼地在我们农场比例很小。其他农场地势欠佳,洪水有时会给农场主带来灾难。

  语言点:句子结构分析:请注意,这个句子有三个主句,其中连词But前的句子和它后面的两个分句是让步转折的关系,后面这两个分句间的连词and连接两个并列关系的句子。In that表示“由于,因为。”

  13.One bad winter we watched the river creep up the lower meadows.

  有一年冬天,天气不好,我们眼看着河水浸没了地势较低的草场。

  语言点:watch…creep up为“感官动词+动词原形”的结构。

  14.All the cattle had been moved into stalls and we stood to lose little.

  所有的牲口已提前转移到畜圈里,没有造成什么损失。

  语言点:stand在本句中并不是“站”的意思,而是指“承受。”

  15.We were, however, worried about our nearest neighbors, whose farm was low lying and who were newcomers to the district.

  不过,我们很为我们的近邻担心。他们的农场地势低洼,而且他们又新来乍到。

  语言点:句子结构分析:注意,本句中的and连接两个并列的定语从句。

  16.As the floods had put the telephone out of order, we could not find out how they were managing.

  由于洪水造成了电话中断,我们无法了解他们情况。

  语言点:句子结构分析:as引导原因状语从句。How they were managing为宾语从句,说明find out的内容。

  17.From an attic window we could get a sweeping view of the river where their land joined ours, and at the most critical juncture we took turns in watching that point.

  从顶楼窗口看去,我们农场与他们农场接壤处的那段河流一览无余。在最紧急的时刻,我们轮流监视那段河流的险情。

  18.The first sign of disaster was a dead sheep floating down.

  灾难的第一迹象是一只死羊顺流而下。

  语言点:句子结构分析:现在分词短语floating down作定语。

  19.Next came a horse, swimming bravely, but we were afraid that the strength of the current would prevent its landing anywhere before it became exhausted.

  接着一匹活马勇敢地与水搏击。但我们担心,洪水力量将使它上岸之前就筋疲力尽了。

  语言点:句子结构分析:that引导宾语从句。

  20.Suddenly a raft appeared,looking rather like Noah's ark, carrying the whole family, a few hens, the dogs, cat, and bird in a cage.

  突然,出现了一只筏子,看起来很像诺亚方舟,上面载着他们全家老小,还有几只母(又鸟)、几只狗,一只猫与一只鸟笼,那里头有一只小鸟。

  语言点:like Noah's ark是明喻修辞格。
