He Lost His Arm But Is Still Climbing
Aron Ralston is an American man who is interested
in mountain climbing. As a mountain climber, Aron is
used to taking risks. This is one of the exciting things
about doing dangerous sports.
此处who is interested in mountain climbing
为定语从句,
修饰先行词an American man, who为关系代词。
当先行词为人时,
常用关系代词who或that引导定语从句。
例: Do you know the girls who/that are dancing
be interested in为固定短语,意为.对...感兴趣”,
相当于take an interest in。
例: I'm interested in music.我对音乐感兴趣。
She began to take an interest in stamp collecting.
她开始对集邮感兴趣。
辨析: interested与interesting
interested“感兴趣的”,只作表语,主语通常是人
interesting“引起兴趣的;有趣的”,作表语或定语,一般修饰物
because of”因为",介词短语,后面接名词、代词动词-ing形式
because“因为",连词,引导原因状语从句
例: Betty was late because of the heavy rain.
因为大雨,贝蒂迟到了。
2b
There were many times when Aron almost lost his life
because of accidents. On April 26, 2003, he found himself in a very dangerous situation when climbing in Utah.
On that day, Aron’s arm was caught under a 360-kilo rock that fell on him when he was climbing by himself in the mountains. Because he could not free his arm,
free此处用作及物动词,意为“使自由;释放;解放"
He expects to be freed quite soon.
他预计很快就能获释。
She struggled to free herself, but the ropes were too tight.

2b
he stayed there for five days and hoped that someone would find him. But when his water ran out, he knew that he would have to do something to save his own life. He was not ready to die that day. So he used his knife to cut off half his right arm. Then, with his left arm, he bandaged himself so that he would not lose too much blood. After that, he climbed down the mountain to find help.
动词不定式短语to save his own life表示目的,在句中作目的状语。
短语save one's life 意为“挽救某人的生命"。
例: He saved the girl's life yesterday.昨天他救了那个女孩儿的命。

例: I put on red coat so that he could see me easily.
我穿上-件红外套,以便他能很容易地看见我。
