Ⅲ.课文难句分析

1．Sometimes I wonder how relevant chemistry is to these students，most of whom will be going back to their villages after Year 8 anyway.

[句式分析]　此句为复合句，how引导宾语从句；most of whom引导定语从句。

[自主翻译]　有时候，我真想知道化学对这些学生有多大用处，毕竟他们中的大多数人上完八年级以后就要回到他们的村庄去了。

2．Tombe's father，Mukap，led us to his house，a low bamboo hut with grass sticking out of the roof-this shows it is a man's house.

[句式分析]　Mukap作Tombe's father的同位语，a low bamboo hut作his house的同位语；with grass sticking out of the roof是with的复合结构作定语，修饰hut；it is a man's house为省略that的宾语从句。

[自主翻译]　汤贝的父亲莫卡普把我们带到他的家里。这是一个低矮的竹屋，屋顶上伸出一簇茅草--它表示这间竹屋是男人住的。
