Who would have thought that such a _10_ (pain) experience helped me to grow up?1_2._3._4._5_6._7._8._9_10._语篇解读:本文作者通过讲述自己的亲身经历,告诉我们当面对挫折与磨难时,我们应该拿出勇气去面对它们。1afire在这里指火灾,为可数名词,而且是首次提到,故用不定冠词a修饰。2carelessness作者的粗心引起了大火,让她尝到了苦头。carelessness意为“粗心”。3helpedand连接三个并列的动词,时态应该保持一
62、致。根据空前的 “came to rescue”和空格后的“arranged emergency medical attention”可知此空的动词需用一般过去式。4Although尽管作者活了下来,但是大火对她的伤害是永久的,这里用although引导让步状语从句。5tofrom . to .意为“从到”。6to raisefinditadj./n.to do sth.意为“发现做某事是的”,it是形式宾语,后面的不定式“to raise my head and look people in the face”是真正的宾语。7be accepted作者意识到想要被别人接受首先要做到自我接受,所以此空需用被动语态。8graduallygradually在这里意为“逐渐地”,修饰后面的动作“lift my head up and look people in the face”。9hidinginstead of 意为“代替;不是而是”,of为介词,后跟v.ing形式。10painfulpainful意为“痛苦的”,修饰后面的名词experience。
