一起学新三（LESSON 1） Pumas are large, cat-like animals which are found in America.（使用which引导的定语从句修饰animal，前面pumas are..为句子主干结构） When reports came into London Zoo that（that后面的部分为同位语从句，用来避免句子的头重脚轻，使得语句更为通顺可以理解） a wild puma had been spotted forty-five miles south of London, they were not taken seriously. However（表达上下文的转折意思）, as （as表示随着的意思）the evidence began to accumulate, experts from the Zoo felt obliged to investigate, for the descriptions given by people（given by people，用过去分词短语做定语，修饰descriptions） who（who在这里引导定语从句，指代前面的people） claimed to have seen（claim to have done 声称做过某事） the puma were extraordinarily similar. （第一段的重点语法就是定语从句和同位语从句的用法，下面有些总结定语从句只是对于被修缮词的补充说明、修缮；同位语从句则是讲述被修饰名词的内容定语从句的引导词：???? 指人：主语who; 宾语who/whom; 定语 whose???? 表达事物：that（也可以指人）/which???? 时间状语：when; 地点状语：where; 原因状语：why同位语从句：名词做主语、宾语等，关系词用that而不是which???????????? 时间－when； 地点－whereAn idea came to her that she might do the experiment in another way.I have no idea what has happened to him。定语从句中没有what这个关系词，但它可以引导同位语从句） ??The hunt for the puma began in a small village where（where在这里引导地点状语从句，修饰前面的small village） a woman picking blackberries saw a large cat only five yards（yard / jB:d; jBrd/ n 1 (a) (usu unroofed) enclosed or partly enclosed space near or round a building or group of buildings, often paved 建筑物附近或周围（通常为无顶篷的）围起来的空地（常为经铺设者）; 院子. (b) (US) = backyard (back2).） away from her. It immediately ran away when she saw it, and experts confirmed （＝be sure和be certain）that a puma will not attack a human being unless it is cornered.?? The search （就是指the hunt，为了避免重复所以做了换词的手段，换词也是在写作中十分重要的一个方法。）proved difficult, for the puma was often observed at one place in the morning and at another place twenty miles away in the evening. Wherever it went, it left behind （leave behind 把某物留在后面）it a trail of dead deer and small animals like rabbits（此句中的几个it，指代的都是the puma）. Paw prints were seen in a number of places and puma fur was found clinging to bushes（英文写作强调的是客观事实，而不是动作的发出者，所以，该句描写the puma的一系列情况用的都是被动语态。）. Several
