whenshearrived.ThatwasalsothedayGrannymovedin.我仍記得奶奶和我們一起度過的最后一個圣誕節(jié)。十一月中旬,寒冷多風(fēng)的日子就來了。我記得那天的風(fēng),因為奶奶到達時她的灰頭發(fā)亂作一團。那天也是奶奶搬進來(movein)的日子。Translationofthistext.because引導(dǎo)原因狀語從句省略關(guān)系代詞that的定語從句，修飾thelastChristmaswhen引導(dǎo)時間狀語從句亂作一團搬來(和某人)一起居住Somehow,atthetime,Ididn'tknowshewassick.MaybeIwastooyoung,maybeshehidittoowell,ormaybeIwasjusttooexcitedthatChristmaswasontheway.不知為什么(somehow),那個時候我并未發(fā)現(xiàn)她病了。或許是因為我太小了,或許是她隱藏得太好了,或者可能是我對圣誕節(jié)的到來太興奮了。Translationofthistext.當時，在那時此處三個maybe連用,構(gòu)成排比句型,用來表達強烈的感情,體現(xiàn)了作者對奶奶病情一無所知的懊悔,也為下文奶奶的去世及作者對奶奶的思念作了鋪墊。即將到來=aroundthecornerAfterGrannymovedin,shespentmostofhertimeonthebrownsofabythefire.Sometimesshewasquiet,butsheseemedhappy.WhenIwrotealettertoFatherChristmastellinghimaboutthepresentsIwanted,Grannymadeanefforttohelpme.Herhandwasslightly

早飯后,凱絲姑媽和我的表弟大衛(wèi)來了。當媽媽、爸爸和凱絲姑媽準備午飯時,我和大衛(wèi)在外面玩。我們在花園里跑來跑去,滾(roll使成球形)了一個大雪球,做了一個可愛的雪人。奶奶待在爐火旁。我記得當時從窗戶里看到她的眼睛(catchhereye)。Translationofthistext.while“當...的時候”，引導(dǎo)時間狀語從句滾雪球catchsb’seye吸引某人的目光；引起某人的注意"Comeoutside,Granny,"Icalled,butshejustwaved.Lunchwaslate,butitwasaloudandexcitingaffair.Weputonsillypaperhatsandhadabigturkeywithpotatoes,followedbyChristmaspudding.Davidputsomuchpuddinginhismouththathecouldn'tswallow.

“到外面來,奶奶，”我叫她,但她只是揮了揮手(wave)。

午餐晚了，但這是一件既歡鬧又令人興奮的大事(affair)。我們戴上傻傻的紙帽子,吃塞有土豆的大火雞，隨后又吃圣誕布丁。大衛(wèi)在嘴里塞了太多布丁,以至于都吞(swallow)不下去了。Translationofthistext.waveto/at朝...揮手privateaffair私事publicaffair公共事務(wù)戴上；穿上然后，接著是，跟隨swallowup吞沒，用盡so...that...“如此...以至于...”，引導(dǎo)結(jié)果狀語從句過去分詞短語作狀語"How'sthepudding?"Grannyasked.“Mmmph,mmmph,mmmph,"saidDavid.AuntieKathdidn'tthinkitwasfunny,buttherestofusdid.Grannylaughedsomuchthatherpaperhatfelloff.

“布丁怎么樣?”奶奶問。

“唔,唔,唔,"大衛(wèi)說。

凱絲姑媽不覺得有趣,但我們其他人都覺得有趣。如奶開懷大笑,她的紙帽子掉了下來。Translationofthistext.so...that...“如此...以至于...”引導(dǎo)結(jié)果狀語從句剩下的，余下的falloff掉下來AfewweeksafterthatChristmas,Grannypassedaway.Ithinkofheroftenthough,especiallyatChristmas.Eachyear,Itakeoutthemusicboxshegaveme.InsideIkeepGranny'spaperhatandthelettershehelpedmewritethatChristmas.MumgavetheletterbacktomesomeyearsagowhenInolonger
