By: 文杰，胡桑榕，周婷

Para. 98 Maybe somewhere ... into flame: (Metaphor) Perhaps there is sill some intellingence left in Polly's empty mind. Perhaps I could develop the little intelligence still existing in Polly's mind. Comparing Polly’s mind to the extinct crater of a volcano, and “embers” to some spark of intelligence.将波利的大脑比作火山口，将余 火比作波利脑中零星的知识火花。

Para. 101 When the boss asks him... is coming: It is a long loose sentence, which ordinarily would be broken up into two or three separate sentences. In conversation such loose sentences are quite common. 从句子“信息重心”角度来看，有圆周句 和松散句。这种句式的使用，会使文章波 澜起伏，文气收放自如。松散句即指将信 息和实质部分在句子的前面先提出，因此 读者在看到最初的几个词后就知道了这句 话的意思。

Para. 105 surgeons have X-rays... an operation: (metonymy): Surgeons use X-ray photographs to guide them during an operation. It is seldom considered a “metonymy”,but now because X-rays are now commonly taken to mean “photographs” made by means of X-rays. lawyers have briefs...a trial: Lawyers have a written summary of the main points of a case to guide them during a trial.

Para. 109 I muttered. Doggedly I pressed on: I went ahead stubbornly. I kept on persistently. We can see that there is a phrase “work like a dog”拼命工作，苦干 it’s a good word which exactly express the feeling of the young man. tired, impatient ,but still have to do.

Para. 111 If Madame curie had not happened to leave a photographic plate in a drawer with a chunk of pitchblende,the world today would not know about radium. 本局使用了虚拟语气的混合条件句，主句与 从句夫的动作发生在不同的时间，这叫做混 合条件句。本句中if从句用了had done,表示 与过去实事相反的假设，主句用了would do, 表示与现在实事相反的假设。

虚拟语气 表示与现在事实相反的情况： 表示与现在事实相反的情况： if+主语 过去时 其他 主语+过去时 主语 过去时+其他 主语+should/would/could/might+do+其他 主语 其他 例: If I were you, I would take an umbrella. 如果我是你，我会带把伞。 表示与过去事实相反的情况 if+主语 主语+had done +其他 主语 其他 主语+should/would/could/might+have done 主语 例: If I had got there earlier, I should/could have met her. 如果我早到那儿，我就会见到她。

Para. 115 One more chance, I decided: (ellipsis and inversion): 省略跟倒装 I decided that I would give her one more chance. There is a limit to what flesh and blood can bear: (synecdoche): 提喻法 (Here we use flesh and blood to stand for a original person.) There i

s a limit to what any human being can bear.

Para. 118-119

I watched her ... in concentration: knit her creamy brow: to draw her soft brows together (as when thinking very hard) I watched her as she thought very hard. a glimmer of intelligence... into her eyes: From her eyes I could see that for the first time she was beginning to understand the problem.

Para. 119

The first man ... drink from it: (Metaphor): comparing the first speaker’s personal attack to poisoning the well He has hamstrung ... even start: hamstrung (v.): disable by cutting a hamstring;lessen or destroy the power or effectiveness of割断…的腿腱以使残废； 削弱(或破坏)…的力量(或功能) (Metaphor): compare the speaker’s personal attack to disabling a person by cutting one of the tendons at the back of the knee

Para. 123 Over and over and over... without let-up: Over and over again I gave examples and pointed out the mistakes in her thinking. I kept emphasizing all this without stopping. to hammer away (at): to work without stopping and with a lot of effort ;to keep emphasizing ;to attack frequently e.g. 1.He kept hammering away at his demand for a public inquiry. let up: stopping; relaxing放松(努力);中止，休止

Para. 124 Five gruelling ... worth it: This (teaching Polly logic) took five extremely trying (exhausting) nights, but it was worth all the trouble. (emphasis): Inversion to emphasize “five gruelling nights”(极度紧张的、精疲力尽的) . I had made a logician out of Polly. I had turned Polly into a logician. She was worthy of me at last: This, once again, shows the conceit of the narrator. Polly was now good enough to be his wife.

Para. 124 She was a fit wife... well heeled children: Here the narrator describes the role, which he thinks, a wife should play. First, she should be a proper hostess of a rich man who owns many mansions. In other words she should be good at entertaining his rich friends and clients and thus further his career. Second, she should be a good mother and properly look after his rich and prosperous children. 这使人对姑娘产生了一种头脑简单智力迟钝的印象；这与 作者“我”的自夸恰恰形成鲜明的对比，更增加了讽刺的 效果。

Thank you!
