1.…a large crowd of people had gathered under the Town Hall clock.……一大群人聚集在市政厅的大钟下面。
had gathered为过去完成时,表示过去某个时刻之前已经完成的动作。(cf. 第14课语法)
2.It would strike twelve in twenty minutes' time. 再过20分钟,大钟将敲响12下。
(1)这句话的时态为过去将来时。
(2)in+表示时间长度的短语可译为"……时间之后",一般与将来时连用:
Please wait a moment here. Jack will be back in a few minutes.
请在此稍候。杰克几分钟之后就回来。
(3)strike的基本含义是"打"、"击":
She struck the man in the face.
她打了那人的脸。
当用于钟、乐器等东西时,它有"敲"、"弹"的含义:
When I entered the room, the clock struck five.
我进屋时,钟敲响了5点。
3.We waited and waited, but nothing happened. 我们等啊等啊,可情况没有变化。
动词 happen作"发生"、"出现"讲时,主语是物:
Have you heard what happened to Sam this morning?
你听说今天上午萨姆发生了什么事了吗?
An interesting thing happened last night.
昨晚发生了一件有趣的事。
4.The big clock refused to welcome the New Year. 那座大钟不愿意迎接新年。
这句话中的两个动词 refuse和welcome在一般情况下主语都是人。我们可以说:
Susan's friends welcomed her with flowers when she returned from
abroad.
苏珊从国外回来时,她的朋友们用鲜花欢迎她。
在书上的这句话中,用大钟作主语是一种拟人手法。
