◆典句賞析

1.In the early，Jason dropped out to work and helped his parents to raise their family.賈森很早就退學去打工，幫著父母養家了。

這是一個由and連接的并列句。to work在前一個句子中作狀語，to raise their family在后一個句子中作賓語補足語。

【即時嘗試】她想成為一名好老師，并教孩子們學會如何學習。

2.He felt so grievous that he decided to jump off the cliff to finish his life.他感到非常痛苦，于是決定跳崖自殺。

這是一個復合句。so...that...引導的是一個結果狀語從句；decide to do sth.是固定句型結構，意為“決定做某事”。

【即時嘗試】她很餓，于是去超市買了些零食。

3.Jason finally learned to climb up on the steep cliffs and walls，and he was able to go flatly in the smooth places，which made him gradually famous in the area.賈森終于學會了在陡峭的山崖和墻壁上攀爬，再光滑的地方他也能如履平地，這讓他在當地逐漸有了名氣。

本句是一個復合句，主句Jason finally...places是由and連接的兩個并列句構成，從句which made him gradually famous in the area是一個非限制性定語從句，which指代前面整個主句。

【即時嘗試】我要去長城，還要拍很多長城的照片，這會讓我為我們的國家感到自豪。

譯文助讀

二十五歲的賈森來自印度，他有一項特殊的技能——徒手攀爬。他可以徒手攀爬任何陡峭的墻壁或山崖，并做著各種各樣的高難度動作，甚至是有些讓人覺得不可思議的動作。他就像現實版的蜘蛛俠一樣能如履平地。

賈森的這個技能并不是天生的，而是在一次偶然的機會拜一只猴子為師后學會的，這背后隱藏著一個令人心酸的故事。

賈森很早就退學去打工，幫著父母養家了。他七歲就開始在工地上搬磚，后來去了一戶有錢人家做傭人，可是主人對他很不友好，常常打罵他。

有一次主人家丟失了一條名貴的項鏈，女主人誣陷是賈森偷走了，男主人不分青紅皂白地就將賈森毒打了一頓，并且三天沒有讓他吃飯。

賈森找不到人來訴苦，他感到非常痛苦，于是決定跳崖自殺。他跑到附近的一座山上，準備爬上一塊大石頭然后跳下去，但是當他攀爬懸崖的時候卻無論如何都爬不上去。賈森想了很多辦法都沒能爬上去。就在此時，一只猴子出現了，它從旁邊的石壁上很輕松地就攀爬到了山頂。這讓賈森感到很好奇，甚至覺得自己連猴子都不如。

于是賈森打消了輕生的念頭，他開始觀察猴子們的舉動并模仿。逐漸地，他掌握了攀爬的技能，于是開始練習著像猴子一樣攀爬石壁。有了猴子這個好老師，加上賈森刻苦地練習，他終于學會了在陡峭的山崖和墻壁上攀爬，再光滑的地方他也能如履平地，這讓他在當地逐漸有了名氣，很多人都愿意來看他的表演。他的技能已經能讓他養活他和他的家人了。

現在有很多人拜他為師，跟他學習“猴子功夫”。如今的賈森靠著這個獨特的技能，過上了幸福的生活。
