One of Mary‘s prize possessions was a little white lamb which her husband had given her.

She kept it tied to a tree in a field during the day and went to fetch it every evening.

keep后的宾语补足语可以是形容词、介词短语、分词。
--keep和过去分词搭配, 过去分词和宾语之间是逻辑上的动宾关系。
--keep和现在分词搭配, 宾语和现在分词之间是逻辑上的主谓关系。

-- I kept the boy standing outside.
One evening, however, the lamb was missing. The rope had been cut, so it was obvious that
the lamb had been stolen.
It is obvious that... 显而易见…
When Dimitri came in from the fields, his wife told him what had happened. Dimitri at once
set out to find the thief.
set?out?to?do?sth 开始着手做某事 (set about doing…)
He knew it would not prove difficult in such a small village.
After telling several of his friends about the theft, Dimitri found out that his neighbour,
Aleko, had suddenly acquired a new lamb.
tell sb about sth 告诉某人关于某事
-- He told the police about the theft.
Dimitri immediately went to Aleko‘s house and angrily accused him of stealing the lamb.
He told him he had better return it or he would call the police.
He can‘t be ill or he wouldn‘t have come. 他不可能生病了要不他就不会来了。
or else… 否则…
-- Your room is so dirty. Clear it promptly, or else....。
Aleko denied taking it and led Dimitri into his backyard.
Lead vt.vi.(led, led, leading)引导;指引
-- He led us to his home. 他把我们带到他家。
It was true that he had just bought a lamb, he explained, but his lamb was black.
It is true that…but... 诚然…但是…
-- It is true that the work is hard, but we‘ll finish it ahead.(adj.adv.提前,向前,在前面)
Ashamed of having acted so rashly, Dimitri apologized to Aleko for having accused him.
Ashamed前省略了be动词。
Ashamed of…是现在分词结构(形容词结构)做原因状语(放主句前后均可)
-- Angry at everybody here, he left suddenly.
-- Anxious for a quick decision, he called his friends.
-- Nervous, the man opened the letter.
While they were talking it began to rain and Dimitri stayed in Aleko‘s house until the rain
stopped. When he went outside half an hour later, he was astonished to find the little
blacklamb was almost white. Its wool, which had been dyed black, had been washed clean
by the rain!
