Notesonthetext课文注释

1atlarge是介词短语,此处表示“逍遥自在”、“行动自由”的意思。

2WhenreportscameintoLondonZoothatawildpumahadbeenspottedforty-fivemilessouthofLondon,当伦敦动物园接到报告说,在伦敦以南45英里的地方发现一头野生美洲狮时。

这个从句中以that引导的从句是reports的同位语,用于进一步说明报告的内容。

3feelobligedtodosth.是“感到不得不做某事”的意思。

4itleftbehinditatrailof,它身后留下一串……。

atrailof作left的宾语,behindit是状语,提到宾语之前是为了使句子结构更紧凑。

5pumafurwasfoundclingingtobushes中,clinging是现在分词,此处作主语pumafur的主语补足语。

下文中Asnopumashadbeenreportedmissing…一句中,missing也是现在分词作主语补足语。

6inthepossessionof,为……所有。

参考译文

美洲狮是一种体形似猫的大动物,产于美洲。

当伦敦动物园接到报告说,在伦敦以南45英里处发现一只美洲狮时,这些报告并没有受到重视。

可是,随着证据越来越多,动物园的专家们感到有必要进行一番调查,因为凡是声称见到过美洲狮的人们所描述的情况竟是出奇地相似。

搜寻美洲狮的工作是从一座小村庄开始的。

那里的一位妇女在采摘黑莓时看见“一只大猫”,离她仅5码远,她刚看见它,它就立刻逃走了。

专家证实,美洲狮除非被逼得走投无路,是决不会伤人的。

事实上搜寻工作很困难,因为常常是早晨在甲地发现那只美洲狮,晚上却在20英里外的乙地发现它的踪迹。

无论它走到哪儿,一路上总会留下一串死鹿以及死兔子之类的小动物。

在许多地方看见了爪印,灌木丛中也发现了粘在上面的美洲狮毛。

有人抱怨说夜里听见了“像猫一样的叫声”;一位商人去钓鱼,看见那只美洲狮在树上。

专家们如今已经完全肯定那只动物就是美洲狮,但它是从哪儿来的呢由于全国动物园没有一家报告丢了美洲狮,因此那只美洲狮一定是某位私人收藏家豢养的,不知怎么设法逃出来了。

搜寻工作进行了好几个星期,但始终未能逮住那只美洲狮。

想到在宁静的乡村里有一头危险的野兽继续逍遥流窜,真令人担心。

Specialdifficulties难点

过去曾有一种传统的规定,认为英文句子不允许以介词结尾。

现在,这种所谓的禁忌早以破除。

在现代英语中,除正体书面语体外,以介词结尾的句子很多,在口语中更为常见。
