Language points1.One year, the weather was so dry that no food would grow. 有一年，天气太干旱了以至于粮食颗粒不长。so ...that… 是一个常见的句式结构，即：副词 so + 形容词或副词 + that 引导的句子，表示“如此 ...... 以至于 ......” 。又如本单元中的这个句子： That bird’s song is so beautiful that we should follow it.那只鸟的歌声是如此美妙，我们应当跟着它走。

有时这个句式中的 that 可以省略，如：Everything happened so quickly I didn’t have

time to think.

一切发生得是那么快，我连思考的时间都没有。2. We thought you were never coming back. 我们以为你们再也不回来了。 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……”。又如： I thought he would come, but he didn’t. 我原想他会来的，但他却没有。

3. As soon as you wake up, you must go to th

e forest with your father.

你们一醒来就必须和爸爸去森林。as soon as 表不“一… 就… ”，再如本单元中这个句子： As soon as the moon rises,

we can follow them instead.

月亮一升起来，我们就可以顺着它们（面包肩）走了。

4. It’s leading us to that wonderful house made of bread, cake and candy.它在把我们引向那座有面包、蛋糕和糖果做成的美妙房屋。此句中 made of bread, cake and candy 作定语，修饰名问 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应后置。又如：The young people in the room屋子里的年轻人。

5. The wife told her husband that unless

he left the children to die in the

forest, the whole family would die.

妻子告诉丈夫，如果他不把孩子们 扔到森林里让他们自生自灭，整个 家庭就会灭亡。

unless 的意思是“如果不，若非，除非”，它引导的是一个条件状语从句，相当于if…not 。因此，上面的句子改写为 : …if

he didn’t leave the children to die in the

forest, the whole family would die.
