Text
  • As I walked around the deck, Ive frequently
    stop and write in my journal. Being the only
    non-Asian person on the boat, this drew quite a
    few curious looks, and finally a small group of
    people gathered around me and watched me write as
    if I were a sidewalk artist drawing portraits
    of passersby. I could tell they were
    enjoying watching me, so after I paused and
    smiled at them, I went on with my writing, mainly

  • Para.3 On another trip, after boarding a plane
    from Xiamen to Beijing, I discovered Ive lost
    my passport. Without it, I was stuck between two
    cities, neither of which was my home base. I
    tried to hide my panic, but I could see that the
    flight staff and the other passengers on the
    plane could tell. And maybe that was for the best
    because, to my amazement, they held up the flight
    and radioed the airport staff, who searched the
    airport while the flight staff searched the
    runway and the shuttle bus.

    to despair of finding my passport when suddenly a
    woman waved the small blue book in the air--shed
    found it! The whole plane burst into smiles and
    applause. I was very relieved and
    grateful for the kindness Ive experienced from
    so many people whove treated me like a friend

Difficult Sentences
  • 1. (Para.2) One travel experience where the
    openness and curiosity of the Chinese people
    helped to bridge our language and cultural
    differences was on a boat ride from Shanghai to
    Qingdao.

    clause modifying experience. Bridge in the
    relative clause is used as a verb. Bridge
    our...differences means shortening our difference

    and finally a small group of people gathered
    around me and watched me write as if I were a
    sidewalk artist drawing portraits of passersby.
  • Analysis Being the only non-Asian person on the
    boat is a present participle used as an adverbial
    of cause. As if here introduces an adverbial
    clause of manner, and subjunctive mood is often
    required used with it. Thats why were is used
    instead of was.

63
Difficult Sentences
  • Translation ??????????????,??????????,??????????

    amount of Chinese and their tiny amount of
    English, we introduced ourselves and told where

  • Analysis Using is a present participle and acts
    an adverbial of manner. The two where-clauses are
    the object clauses of the verb told.
  • Translation ??????????,??????,???????,????????,
    ??????????,???????
  • Example But soon I stopped, and speaking half
    English and half Chinese, I told them where I had

  • 4. (Para. 2) When we arrived in Qingdao, I parted
    with my deck friends on the best terms and with a
    bit of advice about what to see and do in
    Qingdao.
  • Analysis Part is used as a verb meaning
    separate. On the best terms and with a bit of
    advice are two prepositional phrases used as an
    adverbial of manner modifying parted. About is a
    preposition and takes as its object an infinitive
    clause introduced by what.

66
Difficult Sentences
  • 5. (Para. 3) Without it, I was stuck between two
    cities, neither of which was my home base.
  • Analysis without it is an adverbial of
    condition. Which introduces a non-restrictive
    relative clause modifying two cities and which
    itself refers to two cities.
  • Translation ????,????????,??????
  • Example Without a job, I went to Beijing and
    Shanghai, neither of which is familiar to me.

67
Difficult Sentences
  • 6. (Para. 3) I was about to despair of finding my
    passport when suddenly a woman waved the small
    blue book in the air ?shed found it!

    Finding is a gerund and acts as the object of the
    preposition of. When means at the moment and is
    a conjunction that introduces an adverbial clause
    of time.
  • Translation ?????????????,?????????????????????
    ????!
  • Example She was about to leave when she heard
    someone knocking at the door.

Difficult Sentences
  • 7. (Para. 3) I was very relieved and grateful for
    the kindness Id experienced from so many people
    whod treated me like a friend in need and not
    just as a foreigner.
  • Analysis Id experienced...as a foreigner is a
    restrictive relative clause modifying kindness,
    with that omitted. In this relative clause who
    introduces another restrictive relative clause
    modifying people. Like and as are both
    prepositions and are of the same meaning being
    and both are used as an adverbial of manner.
  • Translation ?????,??????,?????????,????????????,?
