south of London, they were not taken seriously.
一般来讲定语从句和同位语从句紧随在被修饰名词的后面，但为了保持句子平衡，也可以把谓语动词放到从句之前
1> 定语从句只是对于被修饰词的补充说明、修饰
-- 定语从句的引导词：
-- 指人：主语who;宾语who, whom;定语?whose
-- 指物：that(也可以指人)/ which
-- 时间状语：when / 地点状语：where / 原因状语：why
2> 同位语从句则是讲述被修饰名词的内容
-- 同位语从句的引导词：
-- 名词(做主语、宾语等)：关系词用that而不是which
-- 时间：when;?地点：where
-- 定语从句中没有what这个关系词，但what可以引导同位语从句
-- An idea came to her that she might do the experiment in another way.
-- I?have?no?idea?what?has?happened?to?him。
they were not taken seriously(they指代reports)
take sth seriously = deal with sth seriously 认真地对待某事
-- I always take your suggestions seriously.
take sth lightly 草率地对待某事 (lightly adv.轻率地)
-- Don’t take the hot potato lightly (hot potato n.棘手的问题)
However, as the evidence began to accumulate, experts from the Zoo felt obliged to
investigate, for the de脚本ions given by people who claimed to have seen the puma were
extraordinarily similar.
However adv.然而(起转折作用)
As 连词：随着, 当...之时
过去分词做定语：
-- the de脚本ions given by people
-- the story told by the sailor (n.海员, 水手, 船员)
-- a book written by Luxun
claim?to?have?done?sth 声称曾经做过某事
-- He claimed to have been the manager of the large shop.
The hunt for the puma began in a small village where a woman picking blackberries saw
’a large cat’ only five yards away from her.
Where a woman picking… 定语从句
-- I still remember the school where I studied English.
It immediately ran away when she saw it, and experts confirmed that a puma will not attack
a human being unless it is cornered.
Confirm = be sure = be certain (confirm vt.确定)
Unless it is cornered = if it is not cornered (unless conj.如果不, 除非)
-- He will accept the job unless the salary is too low.
The search proved difficult, for the puma was often observed at one place in the morning
and at another place twenty miles away in the evening.
search = hunt
Wherever it went, it left behind it a trail of dead deer and small animals like rabbits.
把某物留在后面：leave?behind
-- Wherever he went, the wound left behind him a trail of blood.(n.血)
Paw prints were seen in a number of places and puma fur was found clinging to bushes.
英文表达方式习惯用被动语态, 突出客观事实。而中文则善于运用动作的执行者。
puma fur was found clinging to bushes. (被动)
à We found the puma fur clinging to bushes. (主动)
-- clinging to bushes是现在分词短语做宾补
Several people complained of “cat-like noises’ at night and a businessman on a fishing trip
saw the puma up a tree.
complain?of/about?sth 抱怨某事
on+名词：强调动作正在进行
-- on?the?rise 在上升 / on?the?increase 在增加
-- on?the?watch 在观看 / on?the?match 在比赛中
-- on?the?fishing?trip 在钓鱼的途中 / on?holiday 在度假

from?
Fully(adv.充分地, 完全地)= completely = entirely
As no pumas had been reported missing from any zoo in the country, this one must have
been in the possession of a private collector and somehow managed to escape.
sth be in?the?possession?of?sb = sth be in?sb’s?possession 某物归某人所有(主语是物)

3.Whom did you receive a letter from?
特殊疑问句中whom?不能省略(本句)。
定语从句中Which以及指代人的做宾语的Whom, 在非正式用法当中可以省略。
省略时，介词不能前置到关系代词Whom, Which前，只能用于非固定的动词短语后面。
固定的动词短语
look?for：寻找(去掉for后look没有寻找的意思，所以介词for不能前置)
非固定的动词短语
look?at：注视
live?in：居住(去掉in后live仍有居住的意思，所以介词in可以前置)
This is the old house in which he lived. = This is the old house he lived in.
4.This is the road we came by?
5.Where is the pencil you were playing with?
