新概念英语第三册逐句精讲语言点第28课(6)

Five Pounds Too Dear 五磅也太贵

Small boats loaded with wares sped to the great liner as she
was entering the harbour. Before she had anchored, the men
from the boats had climbed on board and the decks were soon
covered with colourful rugs form Persia, silks from India,
copper coffee pots, and beautiful handmade silverware. It was
difficult not to be tempted. Many of the tourists on board
had begun bargaining with the tradesmen, but I decided not to
buy anything until I had disembarded.

I had no sooner got off the ship than I was assailed by a man
who wanted to sell me a diamond ring. I had no intention of
buying one, but I could not conceal the fact that I was
impressed by the size of the diamonds. Some of them were as
big as marbles. The man went to great lengths to prove that
the diamonds were real. As we were walking past a shop, he
held a diamond firmly against the window and made a deep
impression in the glass. It took me over half an hour to get
rid of him.

The next man to approach me was selling expensive pens and
watches. I examined one of the pens closely. It certainly
looked genuine. At the base of the gold cap, the words‘made
in the U.S.A.’had been neatly inscribed. The man said that
the pen was worth 50, but as a special favour, he would let
me have it for 30. I shook my head and held up five fingers
indicating that I was willing to pay 5. Gesticulating wildly,
the man acted as if he found my offer outrageous, but he
eventually reduced the price to 10. shrugging my shoulders, I
began to walk away when, a moment later, he ran after me and
thrust the pen into my hands. Though he kept throwing up his
arms in despair, he readily accepted the 5 I gave him. I felt
especially pleased with my wonderful bargain — until I got
back to the ship. No matter how hard I tried, it was
impossible to fill this beautiful pen with ink and to this
day it has never written a single word!

16. I shook my head and held up five fingers indicating that
I was willing to pay ￡5.

我摇摇头，伸出 5根手指表示我只愿出 5镑钱。

语言点1：句子结构分析：indicating为现在分词，作伴随状语，说< br>明“伸出手指”的意思是that引导的宾语从句的内容。

语言点2：shake one's head的意思是“摇头”。

17. Gesticulating wildly, the man acted as if he found my
offer outrageous, but he eventually reduced the price to ￡10.

那人激动地打着手势，仿佛我的出价使他不能容忍。但他终于把价钱
降到了10英镑。

语言点：句子结构分析：gesticulating wildly是现在分词短语，在
句中充当伴随状语。as if引导方式状语从句。

18. Shrugging my shoulders, I began to walk away when, a
moment later, he ran after me and thrust the pen into my
hands.

我耸耸肩膀掉头走开了。一会儿，他突然从后追了上来，把笔塞到我
手里。

语言点：句子结构分析：shrugging my shoulders为现在分词短语，
作方式状语 ，表示“以耸肩膀的方式”走开。When引导时间状语从句，
交代“我”走开时发生的事情。a moment later作插入语。
