[原句] Sometimes working outdoors, sometimes in an office, sometimes using scientific equipment and sometimes meeting local people and tourists, I am never bored. [翻译] 有时在室外工作，有时在办公室里，有时工作中要用科学仪器，有时要会见当地百姓和旅游人士，但是我从来不感到工作烦人。 [点拨] 此句看起来很长，但只是一个简单句。句子的主干是I am never bored，四个sometimes后接动词-ing短语 （第二个sometimes 后面省略了working）构成并列的排比结构，在句中作状语。 [仿写] ___________________________________. 有时去购物，有时和同学踢足球，有时和朋友去看电影，他周末从不闲着。 Key: Sometimes going shopping, sometimes playing football with his classmates and sometimes going to the cinema with his friends, he is never free at the weekend. 2. [原句] I was about to go back to sleep when suddenly my bedroom became as bright as day. [翻译] 我正要再睡，突然我的卧室亮如白昼。 [点拨] was / were about to do ... when ... 意为“正要……这时……”, 相当于was / were on the point of doing ... when ...。此外，was / were doing ... when ... 意为“正在干……这时……”。这些句型中when 从句的时态常用一般过去时，并且动词多为非延续性的。如： He was about to go / was on the point of going out to search for his lost child Alice when Alice came back. 他正要出去寻找他丢失的孩子艾丽斯，这时艾丽斯回来了。 I was about to play / was on the point of playing football with my friends when it began to rain. 我正要和朋友一起去踢足球，这时天开始下雨了。 We were having a meeting when he came in. 我们正在开会，这时他进来了。 [小试] 根据括号内的汉语提示完成下列句子。 ① They _____________________(正要出教室，这时) the teacher came in. ② I _____________________ (正要敲门) when the door opened. ③ _____________________ (他正在家做作业) when someone cried outside. Key: ① were about to go / were on the point of going out of the classroom when ② was about to knock / was on the point of knocking at the door ③ He was doing his homework at home 3. [原句] The other two climbed down into the crater to collect some lava for later study, but this being my first experience, I stayed at the top and watched them. [翻译] 另外两人攀下火山口去收集供日后研究用的岩浆，但是，我是第一次经历这样的事，所以留在山顶上观察他们。 [点拨] 此句是一个由but连接的并列句。第二个并列分句中this being my first experience是独立主格结构，其基本构成是：名词或主格代词+动词-ing形式（过去分词、不定式、形容词、名词、介词短语、副词）。此结构
