18.It was a terrible task for a lad of twelve to rise every morning,except Sunday,go to the factory while it was still dark,and not be released until after darkness came again in the evening,forty minutes'break only being allowed at noon—Working in the factory was a terrible experience for a child of twelve.I was kept there from early in the morning to late in the eveningj ,with a lunch break of only forty minutes.(In American history,child labour wasunscrupulously explited by the industrial capitalists in the early 1900's.) 除星期日之外,每天天不亮就要起床去工厂,直到晚上天黑下来才让离开,中午只给40分钟的时间休息,这对一个12岁的孩子来说,担子真是太重了。这个由45个词组成的句子主要是主语长而复杂。句子的主语是三个并列的不定式短语:1)to rise…… Sunday;2)(to)go to the factory;3)not(to)be released.两个时间从句中:1) while it was still dark修饰go to the factory;2)until after darkness came again in the evening修饰not be released.for引出三个不定式的逻辑主语a lad of twelve.It是全句的形式主语。 until after作连接词,after可有可无。 Forty minutes' break only being allowed at noon是独立主格分词结构,作状语修饰三个不定式短语,说明从早到晚只有40分钟的休息。注意作者用be released(释放出来)形容他的一天在工厂里干活,到收工时感觉就像从监狱或笼子里放出来一样。
release:to allow a person or an animal to come out of a place;to set them free释放出来
eg:He was just released from prison.
他刚从监狱释放出来。
eg:He was released from hospital yesterday.
他已于昨天出院。
Poverty-release
19.something within always told me that this aware last.我的内心有一种力量时时激励我:这种情况不会,也不可能,更不应该持续下去。
注意句子的结尾是用了三个否定的情态动词,一个比一个有力
eg:I firmly believe that racial discrimination should be eliminated.It can be and will be.
我坚信种族歧视应该消除,能够消除,也一定会消除。
20 But here for a time it was even worse than in the cotton factory,because I was set to firethe boiler in the cellar and run the small steam engine which drove the machinery.可是在这里,有一段时间情况比棉纺厂更糟,因为我既要烧地下室的锅炉,还要看管那台驱动机器的小蒸汽机。
be set to do sth.:被派做……
eg:He was set to clean the corridor.
他被派去扫走廊。
be set to sth.还有“决意做……”的意思
eg:She was set to win the championship.
她决意要赢得冠军的称号。
