1. In spite this, many people are confident that ‘The Revealer’ may reveal something of value fairly soon.
尽管如此,很多人仍然相信“探宝器”很快就会探出值钱的东西来。
知识点:something of value复合不定代词的定语后置:“of +名词”相当于该名词对应的形容词, 如:
something important = something of importance 重要的东西 someone patient = someone of patience 有耐心的某人
2. Armed with the new machine, a search party went into the cave hoping to find buried treasure.
一支用这种新机器装备起来的探宝队进入了这个岩澜,希望找到埋藏的金子。
知识点:armed with the new machine是过去分词作伴随状语;hoping to find buried treasure是现在分词短语作目的状语。
3. Dreams of finding lost treasure almost came true recently.
最近,找到失踪宝藏的梦想差一点儿变成现实。
知识点:句子的主体实际是Dreams came true.“梦想成真”。of finding...是介词短语作dreams的后置定语。
4. They finally found a small gold coin which was almost worthless.
但最后找到的是一枚几乎一文不值的小金币。
知识点:which was almost worthless为定语从句,修饰coin。
