34、photographing this amazing scene, I suddenly had a feeling that I was being watched.【分析】该句是一个主从复合句。while引导的是时间状语从句，时态是过去进行时。主句是主谓宾结构；其中that引导的是同位语从句，解释说明前面feeling的内容；该从句是过去进行时的被动语态。【翻译】当我正在集中精力拍摄这惊人的场景时，我突然觉得我正在被盯着看。2(教材P57)Time stood still as the bear and I both waited to see who would move first.【
35、分析】该句是一个主从复合句。as引导的是时间状语从句，表示主句和从句中的动作是同时进行的。主句Time stood still是主谓状结构；从句中who引导的是宾语从句。【翻译】当那只熊和我都等着看看谁会先动的时候，时间就停滞了。英语说明文的写作技巧英语说明文和汉语的说明文在写作技巧上大致是一致的。就说明对象而言，可分为对“客观具体事物”的说明和对“主观抽象观念”的说明两大类。对于高中生来说，在汉语说明文的教学中似乎比较侧重前者，即解释客观具体事物的说明文。但在英语说明文中，阐述和说明 “主观抽象观念”的说明文占了很大的比重，其中有些类似汉语中的议论文。但是无论是对“客观具体事物”的说明还是对
36、“主观抽象观念”的阐述，英语说明文从结构上看大致可分为三个部分：第一部分一般是文章的第一段，提出文章的主题，也就是说，文章想要阐述、说明的主要内容；第二部分是文章的主体，可由若干个段落组成，对文章的主题进行展开说明；第三部分是结尾段，对文章的主题作归纳总结。从英语说明文的结构可以看出，要写好英语说明文的关键在于第二部分如何对文章主题进行展开说明。在英语中，常见的用来展开文章主题的方法有下列几种：1罗列法(listing)在文章开始时提出需要说明的东西和观点，然后常用first，second，.and finally加以罗列说明。罗列法广泛地使用于各类指导性的说明文之中。2举例法(example
37、s)举例法是用具体的例子来说明我们要表达的意思，常用for example, for instance, still another example is.等词语引出。举例法和罗列法有时可以结合使用：即用罗列法来列出例子，用例子充实罗列的说明。3比较法(comparison and contrast)比较法是对两个对象进行比较，从而进行说明的写作手法。比较法又可细分为比较相同点(comparison)和比较不同点(contrast)两种方法。在比较相同点的时候，常用到similarly，also，too，in the same case，in spite of the difference等这
38、样的词语。however，on the other hand，in contrast，but，nevertheless等表示转折的词语常用来引导对不同点的比较。4定义法(definition)定义法也是英语说明文中常用的写作手法，特别是在对具体事物概念进行说明时经常使用。定义法的基本要素是定义句。5顺序法(sequence of time, space and process)顺序法是指按时间、空间或过程的顺序进行说明的一种写作手法。比如按照时间顺序介绍一个科学家的生平，用空间顺序阐述逐渐开发西部的重要意义，用过程顺序法解释葡萄酒的生产过程等。6分类法(classification)分类法是将
39、写作对象进行分类说明的一种写作手法。可见，如果能够根据具体情况，选用合适的写作手法，就可为文章增添无穷的魅力。1Sloths(树懒) are very lazy.They sleep all the time!2Snakes have very long body and sharp teeth.3My kittens(猫咪)are so cute!4My dog is a golden retriever.Hes really energetic, always running and playing.5Frogs can be really slimy(粘滑的)which makes th
