现在分词做后置定语
精讲点拨:
It seemed as if the world were coming to an end!
本句为复合句,句中as if 引导的为表语从句。
as if 意为“仿佛,好像” 其意义和用法与 as though 相同。
as if 引导的从句一般用虚拟语气,但如果从句所表示的情况有明显的依据或实现的可能性较大,则用陈述语气。
She looks as if she were ten years younger. (虚拟语气)
There is a lot of cloud. It seems as if it's going to rain. (陈述语气)
精讲点拨:
Eleven kilometres directly below the city , one of the most deadly earthquakes of the 20th century had begun, a quake that even caused damage more than 150 kilometers away in Beijing.
本句为复合句,a quake 为one of ...的同位语,that引导的从句为定语从句,修饰 a quake.
20世纪最具破坏性的地震之一就这样在唐山市正下方11公里处发生了,这场地震甚至让远在150多公里之外的北京都遭受了损失。
精讲点拨:
Two thirds of the people who lived there were dead or injured.
The number of people who were killed or badly injured in the quake was more than 400,000.
这两句均有who引导的定语从句修饰先行词people,并且在从句中充当主语的成分。
THE NIGHT THE EARTH DIDN'T SLEEP
Strange things were happening in the countryside of northeastern Hebei. For several days, the water in the village wells rose and fell, rose and fell. There were deep cracks that appeared in the well walls. At least one well had some smelly gas coming out of it. Chickens and even pigs were too nervous to eat, and dogs refused to go inside buildings. Mice ran out of the fields looking for places to hide, and fish jumped out of the water. At about 3:00 a.m., on 28 July 1976, bright lights were seen in the sky outside the city of Tangshan and loud noises were heard. But the city's one million people were asleep as usual that night.
地球的一个不眠之夜 河北省东北部的农村地区怪事连连:一连几天,村子里的井水升升降降,起起伏伏,井壁上出现了深深的裂缝。至少有一口水井的裂缝冒出臭气。鸡甚至猪都焦虑不安,不愿进食;狗拒绝进入屋内。老鼠跑到田外,寻找藏身之所,鱼儿也跳出水面。1976年7月28日凌晨3: 00左右,唐山城外的天空中出现了耀眼亮光,接着又传来巨大的声响。然而,那天晚上城里的百万居民仍像往常一样沉睡在梦乡。
At 3:42 a.m., everything began to shake. It seemed as if the world were coming to an end! Eleven kilometres directly below the city, one of the most deadly earthquakes of the 20th century had begun, a quake that even caused damage more than 150 kilometres away in Beijing. Nearly one third of the whole nation felt it! A huge crack, eight kilometres long and 30 metres wide, cut across houses, roads, and waterways. Hard hills of rock became rivers of dirt. In less than one minute, a large city lay in ruins. Two thirds of the people who lived there were dead or injured. Thousands of children were left without parents. The number of people who were killed or badly injured in the quake was more than 400,000.
凌晨3: 42,万物开始摇晃,仿佛世界末日即将来临!在城市正下方的11千米处,20世纪伤害最严重之一的地震爆发了,远在150多千米以外的北京都受到了这场地震的破坏,全国几乎三分之一的地区均有震感!一条8千米长、30米宽的巨大裂缝横切房屋、道路和水路。坚硬的石山变成了泥沙流。在不到一分钟的时间里,一座大城市沦为废墟。城里三分之二的居民在地震中死亡或受伤,数以千计的孩子失去了父母。在此次地震中丧亡或身受重伤的人数超过了40万。

地球的一个不眠之夜
河北省东北部的农村不断有怪事发生。几天以来,村子里的井水升升降降,起起伏伏。水井的井壁上出现了很深的裂缝。不只有一口井散发出臭气。鸡甚至是猪都惊恐不安不愿吃食,狗也不愿意留在室内。老鼠们都从田里跑出来找地方藏身,鱼也不断地跳出水面。在1976年7月28日凌晨三点钟左右,有人在唐山城外看到天上有一道道明亮的光,也听到了巨大的响声。但是那天晚上唐山市的一百万居民还是像往常一样在睡觉。
在凌晨3点42分,一切都开始摇晃起来。仿佛世界末日即将来临!20世纪最具破坏性的地震之一就这样在唐山市正下方11公里处发生了,这场地震甚至让远在150多公里之外的北京都遭受了损失。全国几乎三分之一的地方都有震感!一条长8千米、宽30米的巨大的裂缝横穿过房屋、道路和航道。一座座坚固的岩石山变成了一条条泥沙河。不到一分钟,一座大城市就沦为一片废墟。那里三分之二的居民非死即伤。成千上万个孩子变成了孤儿。地震中的死伤人数超过40万。
