14、Oxford? 你什么时候从牛津大学毕业的？graduate还可以作可数名词，意为“a person who has completed a university degree（大学）毕业生，研究生”Knowing his father could well afford it: 为现在分词短语作状语，表示原因，相当于Because he knew his father could well afford it。现在分词knowing后是个宾语从句his fathercould well afford it. 宾语从句中主语为his father，a faithful Christian是主语

15、his father的同位语，who owned a prosperous business是定语从句，修饰名词Christian。e.g. Not knowing what to do, he phoned the police.（因为）不知道该怎么办，他给警察打了电话。a faithful Christian: 作father的同位语。faithful: a. having and keeping faith in one person, idea, belief, etc. 忠诚的，忠实的；e.g. （1） One cannot be too faithful to ones duty.

18、e wanted作为told的直接宾语，前面省略了宾语从句的连接代词 that，而句中的指示代词that指的是汽车。all 后面省略定语从句关系代词that，本句的完整形式应为 （that） that was all （that） he wanted。Questions about Para. 2（4） What did his father hand him on the morning of his graduation?（5） What did he find in it?（6） How did he feel as he saw the gift?（7） What did he do

22、ad purchased the car: that引导同位语从句，修饰signs。Curious, but somewhat disappointed: 为形容词短语，在句中作伴随状语，具有副词的功能。e.g. Helpless, we watched the house being burned before our eyes. 我们绝望地看着房子在眼前烧毁。curious: a. eager to know or learn 好奇的e.g. （1） When I mentioned his name, everyone was very curious. 当我提到他的名字时，大家都很好奇

23、。（2） I feel nothing than curious. 我只不过好奇而已。curious后面常跟介词about，表示“对感到好奇”。angry and depressed也是形容词作状语的语法现象，表示原因。e.g. Overjoyed, he rushed out of the room. 他欣喜若狂地冲出了房间。depressed: a. low in spirits 抑郁的，沮丧的，意志消沉的 e.g. （1） She was depressed because of failing in the final exam. 她因期末考试不及格而沮丧。（2） You look d

26、 incident?（9） Did the young man miss his father while he was away?
