Clearly this restriction must have operated at a time when there was no equality of opportunity for women.剖析：句中 must have operated 表示“对过去的事情肯定推测 ” ；at a time 表示“一个时期、一段时间” ， when 引导的是定语从句修饰 time。译文：很显然，这种限制在妇女没有平等权利的时期肯定会起作用的。拓展：at a time 每次;一次 Take three pills at a time.
17、每次服三粒。真题：Dont speak all at once! _, please. (全国 94)A. Each at one time B. One by one time C. One for each time D. One at a time 解析：意思是“请每次一个人讲” ，故选 D。2She produced six completed novels, all of which deal with the problems and limitations of womens choices.剖析：句中 completed adj. 完整的;包含全部内容的， which引导非限制
18、性定语从句修饰 novels， which 指代 six completed novels。译文：她创作了六部完整的小说，这些作品都涉及到女性选择权的问题及其局限性。真题：1) The factory produces half a million pairs of shoes every year, 80% are sold abroad . （2004 辽宁）Aof which Bwhich of Cof them Dof that 解析：非限制性定语从句，先行词是 half a million pairs of shoes。故选A。2) I have many friends, some
19、 are businessmen . （2005 全国）Aof them Bfrom which Cwho of Dof whom 解析：道理同上，先行词是表达“人”的名词。故选 D。3At this time the only respectable career for a woman was to marry, so the dilemma of her heroines was also to marry but for love.剖析：句中 respectable 可以形容人或事，意思是“符合社会道德标准的；正派的；正当的；值得尊敬的” ；dilemma 意思是“两难处境” ，本句中
20、“两难”指“要么找不到真爱就不结婚，要么就同意缔结没有爱情基础的婚姻” 。如：Marys dilemma was whether to go to the party in her old dress or to stay at home.玛丽的难处在于是穿旧衣服去聚会还是呆在家里。本句中 but for 是“除了、除以外”的意思，于 except for很相近。but for 最常见的意思是“要不是” ，多用于虚拟语气中。如： But for the rain, we would have had a pleasant journey. 要不是这场雨，我们的旅行一定会很愉快的。But for
21、 his bad habit of smoking, he would be a perfect man. 要不是抽烟的不良习惯，他就是一个完美的人。译文：那时女性唯一受到尊敬的事业就是嫁人，所以她作品中女主人公也为了无爱情的婚姻所困扰。4It was also in her refreshingly light and ironic style, evident from the first sentence of the novel: everyone knows that a single man with a fortune must be in want of wife.剖析：句中
22、want 意思是“缺乏，不足”, in want of 是个短语，意思是“需要” 。如：The school is in want of good teachers. 这个学校需要好老师。句中 that 引导的从句作 knows 的宾语。译文：她的作品的魅力还体现在她那清新明快而又带点讽刺的写作风格上，这从小说的第一句就可以很清楚地看出来：“众所周知，凡是有财产的单身汉必定需要娶一位太太。 ”5It is making fun of those mothers whose only wish is to marry their daughters well.剖析：句中 it指代上文中 ever
23、yone knows that a single man with a fortune must be in want of wife。 句中 whose only wish is to marry their daughters well是定语从句，修饰 those mothers。如：Have you seen the film “Titanic”, whose leading actor is world famous? (01上海)译文：这句话就是调侃那些母亲，因为她们一门心思要女儿嫁个好人家。真题：Last month, part of Southeast Asia was stru
24、ck by floods, from _effects the people are still suffering. （2005 天津）A. that B. whose C. those D. what 解析：引导词在这个定语从句本身必须作定语。故选 B。6.

25、ny struggle and disappointments. 剖析：句中 abused是 abuse的过去分词形式，表示“被虐待、伤害的, 受辱骂的”with an unhappy childhood through to mature person 是个介词短语修饰heroine。who 引导的定语从句也修饰 heroine。译文：她最有名的小说简爱所描绘的女主人公从童年的不幸、贫穷且饱受摧残到成熟，她经历多种坎坷和失望，最后终于找到了幸福。7. Being immediately hailed as “the masterwork of a great genius”, Jane Ey
26、re became a great success.剖析：Being immediately hailed as “the masterwork of a great genius” 是现在分词的被动式，作时间状语，be hailed as 意思是“作为。 。被承认” ，success 表示具体的一次成功的事或一个成功的人士，其前要加不定冠词 a 。译文：简爱一出版，立即被誉为“伟大天才的杰作” ，获得了巨大的成功。8With the 19th century being regarded as one of great women writers, there were also some
27、excellent male authors. 剖析：句中 With the 19th century being regarded as one of great women writers独立主格结构表示伴随情况的。译文：19 世纪被认为是伟大的女作家人才辈出的世纪，这一时期也有一些优秀的男作家。9These women having produced works of the highest quality, any survey of the 19th century English literature must include them.剖析：句中 These women havi
28、ng produced works of the highest quality是独立主格结构，表示原因。相当于 because these women have produced works of the highest quality。译文：这些女作家由于创造了具有最高水准的作品，任何关于 19世纪英国文学的研究都必须包括她们。10. At first, in spite of disliking him, she did not discount his affection, and was sensitive to the pain she was going to cause him
29、 when declined his offer of marriage.剖析： 介词短语 in spite of与 despite同义，是“不管,尽管”意。比如：He went to work in spite of his illness.尽管生病,他还是去工作。Despite advanced years, she is learning to drive.尽管年事已高,她还在学开车。In spite of disliking him 意思是 Although she disliked him.be sensitive to对敏感的;易受伤害的译文：起初，虽然不喜欢他，她并漠视他的爱，而
30、且还很在意拒绝他的求婚给他带来的痛苦。11. At length he asked “And this is all the reply that I am to have! I might, perhaps, ask why I am refused so abruptly?” “I might as well enquire,” replied she,“why you told me you liked me against your will?.”剖析：that I am to have 是定语从句，修饰 all the reply。be to do 表示“将要做” 。might as
31、 well 意思是“ 还是做某事好；不妨。 。 。 。 。 。 ”，其后接动词原形。用于提供建议或要求。比如：Since weve got nothing better to do, we might as well go for a walk.既然我们没有什么更适合的事可做，我们不妨去散步吧。You might as well tell the truth. 你还是说实话为好。against ones will 违背某人的意愿遗嘱译文：他终于问到：“这就是我要得到的全部答复！也许我可以问一下，为什么我会被如此断然地拒绝？” 他答道：“为什么你对我说你是违心地喜欢我？ ”12. “And th
32、is,” cried Darcy as he walked with quick steps across the room, “is your opinion of me! Thank you for being so outspoken.”剖析：as 连词，意思是 “ 一边一边”表示同时性。Thank you for (doing) sth因.而感谢你。译文：“而这， ”达西大声嚷道，同时快速走向房间另一头， “就是你对我的印象！感谢你如此直言不讳。”13. “ If your pride has not been hurt by my honest confession and if I
33、 had flattered you, it might have been different. I am not ashamed of the feelings I related. They were natural and just”剖析：该主从复合句是与过去事实不符的虚拟语气。 （参见 Unit4的“语法归纳”）译文：“如果我的坦诚相告没有伤及你的高傲，如果我对你阿谀奉承，事情可能就会完全不同了。对我所述说的感情我并不感到羞耻，因为这些是自然的和恰当的。”四、语法知识归纳梳理独立主格结构由一个名词或主格代词（作为逻辑主语）加上一个分词、形容词、副词、不定式或介词短语构成，被用逗号和句
34、子分隔开。常常作状语，表示行为方式或伴随情况，有时也被用来表示时间、原因和条件等。多用于书面语中,特点是语言简洁。比如：1. These women having produced works of the highest quality, any survey of the 19th century English literature must include them.2. The teacher came in, book in hand.独立主格结构的作用：1表示时间：Spring coming on, the trees turns green.=When spring comes
35、 on, .2表示原因：There being no buses, we had to walk home.=Because there were no buses, .3表示条件：Condition permitting, I will climb Mt.Qomolangma next spring.= If condition permits, .Weather permitting, they will start at six tomorrow morning.= If weather permits, .4表示伴随情况或补充说明：The children were making a
36、snowman, hands red with cold.I have bought a new coat, the old one being worn out.注：表示伴随情况的独立结构，也可以用“with +宾语+宾补”代替。真题：1. I couldnt do my homework with all that noise _.A. going on B. goes on C. went on D. to go on (2005北京)解析：宾语补语。现在分词表示主动。故选 A。2. With a lot of difficult problems _, the newly-elected president is having a hard time.A. settled B. settling C. to settle D. being settled (2002上海)解析：问题有待解决，时间上是“将来” 。故选 C。3.
