Language points
1. We thought you were never coming back. 我以为你们再也回不来了。
We thought…表示人们过去的某种想法，判断等，可以译作“我们原想……; 我们本以为……”。如：I thought he would come, but he didn’t.
2. It’s leading us to that wonderful house made of bread, cake and sugar.
它在把我们引向那座由面包，蛋糕和糖果做成的美妙小屋。
此句中made of bread, cake and sugar作定语，修饰名词house, 形容词wonderful也是house的定语。在英语中，大部分形容词作定语修饰名词时应前置，短语或句子作定语修饰名词时则后置。如：the young people in the room 屋子里的年轻人
