(单词翻译)

   13. They all seem to look alike (though they come from all over) - lean, pointed1, dedicated2 faces, wearing jeans and sandals, eating their buns and bedding down for the night on the flagstones outside the theatre to buy the 20 seats and 80 standing-room tickets held for the sleepers3 and sold to them when the box office opens at 10:30 a. m.

  【分析】复合句。句子主干为They all seem to look alike,破折号后修饰性短语对句子主干进行补充说明。不定式结构to buy...作目的状语;held for…和sold to… 作tickets的后置定语,其中又嵌套一个when引导的时间状语从句。
  【译文】尽管来自天南海北,但他们看起来都一个样:瘦削,棱角分明,面容专注,身着牛仔裤和便鞋,啃着自带的干果面包,晚上睡在剧院外的石板上,为了赶在票房早上10:30开门时候,买到为这些露宿者准备的20张坐票和80张站票。
  【点拨】l)pointed“尖的;明显的;尖锐犀利的”。2)dedicated“专注的;献身的”。3)bed down“睡下,过夜”。
  14. The large, slow-growing animals were easy game,and were quickly hunted to extinction4.
  【分析】简单句。主语是the large slow-growing animals;and连接两个并列的谓语were和were hunted。
  【译文】那些庞大而生长缓慢的动物容易被追逐,因此很快就被猎获殆尽。
  【点拨】1)本句中game是“猎物”的意思。2)be hunted to extinction“被猎获殆尽”。
