3. Even he still lives under the illusion that country life is somehow superior to town life.
背诵句型
be under the illusion 有这样的错觉,其后 that引导一个同位语从句.
Ex
He is under the illusion that he is always right.
be superior to 比...优越. 含比较之意,用与两人或两个事物之间的比较.
be superior to 还可引伸为"不为...影响"、"拒绝"等意, 用于此意时,介词可用above 替换.
Ex
He's superior to bribery.
be superior to 表示"在...方面胜过..."时,通常使用be superior in... to" OR "be superior to...in ..."这结构.
Ex
He felt superior in maths to John.
4.He is forever talking about the friendly people...
这里的副词 forever 与正在进行时的一同使用,表示作者的不满这样的感情色彩. always, forever, constantly, continually 等副词同进行时态共用, 除表示某事常发生外, 往往表示说话人对发生的此类事情的不满.
5.Nothing can be compared, he maintains, with the first cockcrow, the twittering of birds at dawn, the sight of the rising sun glinting on the trees and pastures.
compared with 将...同...相比.用于两者间比较
cockcrow n. 鸡叫
twitter v. (鸟)吱吱叫,喊喊喳喳叫
glint v. 闪烁
glinting on the trees and pastures 为现在分词短语,在句中作宾语补足语.
he maintains 他坚持认为. 在句中作插入语 |
