1、The mummy of an Egyptian woman who died in 800 B.C. has just had an operation.
B.C. = Before Christ 公元前,放在年代的后面。
A.D. 公元,放在年代的前面,常常可以省略。
2、The mummy is that of Shepenmut who was once a singer in the Temple of Thebes.
that 指代上文当中出现的名词the mummy。在指代特指事物时,尤其是在比较状语从句中,常用that和those指代提到的事物:
The cost of living here is lower than that in London.
that of和those of一般用于较正式的文体中:
It's colder than Guangzhou. × (北京、广州是地点,只有大小之分,本身没有冷和热)
The weather of Beijing is colder than Guangzhou. ×
The weather of Beijing is colder than the weather of Guangzhou.
= The weather of Beijing is colder than that of Guangzhou. ∨
The texts of Book Two are more difficult than those of Book One.
The area of the USA is larger than that of Britain.
Temple of Thebes 底比斯神庙
3、As there were strange marks on the X-ray plates taken of the mummy, doctors have been trying to find out whether the woman died of a rare disease.
take plates of sth. 给……拍片子
take photos of the mountain
take plate 拍片子,take photo 拍照片
find out + 从句
die 是瞬间动词,不能和时间段连用。要和段时间连用,就必须变成系表结构be dead。die不能用be doing形式。若用了be doing,表示即将发生的动作。
He has died for three years. ×
die in the accident 死于车祸
die of + 内因: 死于……
die of hunger; die of grief 死于悲哀
die from + 外因: 死于……
die from wound (枪伤)
在日常生活表达当中,die of和die from可以互换。
5、The only way to do this was to operate.
way + to do 做……的方式(做定语)
way + of 做……的方式(做定语)
They also found sth. which the X-ray plates did not show: a small wax figure of the god Duamutef.
Wax figure: 蜡像
Wax figure: 蜡像
6、The doctors have not yet decided how the woman died.
what 对名词提问,how 对副词或介词短语提问。
how 在这里是对of sth.提问的。要想用what 提问,died后面加of。
decide v. 做出最终的判断,对……下判决,解决(悬案)
The police cannot decide yet which of the two men is guilty.
