　　1、Where must the puma have come from?

　　Pumas are large, cat-like animals which are found in America.

　　在英文的表達(dá)方式中，首先呈現(xiàn)給讀者的是結(jié)果(和中文不同) 英文擅長(zhǎng)用長(zhǎng)句，中文擅長(zhǎng)用短句。

　　-- Pandas are large cat-like animals which are found in Asia. (panda
n.熊貓)

　　cat-like 貓一樣的, 偷偷摸摸的 / dog-like 狗一樣的 / life-like 栩栩如生的

　　2、When reports came into London Zoo that a wild puma had been spotted
forty-five miles south of London, they were not taken seriously.

　　一般來(lái)講定語(yǔ)從句和同位語(yǔ)從句緊隨在被修飾名詞的后面，但為了保持句子平衡，也可以把 謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞放到從句之前

　　1> 定語(yǔ)從句只是對(duì)于被修飾詞的補(bǔ)充說(shuō)明、修飾

　　-- 定語(yǔ)從句的引導(dǎo)詞：

　　-- 指人：主語(yǔ) who;賓語(yǔ) who, whom;定語(yǔ) whose

　　-- 指物：that(也可以指人)/ which

　　-- 時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)：when / 地點(diǎn)狀語(yǔ)：where / 原因狀語(yǔ)：why

　　2> 同位語(yǔ)從句則是講述被修飾名詞的內(nèi)容

　　-- 同位語(yǔ)從句的引導(dǎo)詞：

　　-- 名詞(做主語(yǔ)、賓語(yǔ)等)：關(guān)系詞用 that 而不是 which

　　-- 時(shí)間：when; 地點(diǎn)：where

　　-- 定語(yǔ)從句中沒(méi)有 what 這個(gè)關(guān)系詞，但 what 可以引導(dǎo)同位語(yǔ)從句

　　-- An idea came to her that she might do the experiment in another way.

　　-- I have no idea what has happened to him。

　　3、they were not taken seriously(they指代reports)

　　take sth seriously = deal with sth seriously 認(rèn)真地對(duì)待某事

　　-- I always take your suggestions seriously.

　　take sth lightly 草率地對(duì)待某事 (lightly adv.輕率地)

　　-- Don’t take the hot potato lightly (hot potato n.棘手的問(wèn)題)

　　4、However, as the evidence began to accumulate, experts from the Zoo felt
obliged to investigate, for the desc riptions given by people who claimed to have
seen the puma were extraordinarily similar.

　　However adv.然而(起轉(zhuǎn)折作用)

　　As 連詞：隨著, 當(dāng)...之時(shí)

　　過(guò)去分詞做定語(yǔ)：

　　-- the desc riptions given by people

　　-- the story told by the sailor (n.海員, 水手, 船員)

　　-- a book written by Luxun

　　claim to have done sth 聲稱(chēng)曾經(jīng)做過(guò)某事

　　-- He claimed to have been the manager of the large shop.

　　5、The hunt for the puma began in a small village where a woman picking
blackberries saw 'a large cat' only five yards away from her.

　　Where a woman picking… 定語(yǔ)從句

　　-- I still remember the school where I studied English.

　　6、It immediately ran away when she saw it, and experts confirmed that a puma
will not attack a human being unless it is cornered.

　　Confirm = be sure = be certain (confirm vt.確定)

　　Unless it is cornered = if it is not cornered (unless conj.如果不, 除非)

　　-- He will accept the job unless the salary is too low.

　　7、The search proved difficult, for the puma was often observed at one place
in the morning and at another place twenty miles away in the evening.

　　search = hunt

　　Wherever it went, it left behind it a trail of dead deer and small animals
like rabbits. 把某物留在后面：leave behind

　　-- Wherever he went, the wound left behind him a trail of blood.(n.血)

　　8、Paw prints were seen in a number of places and puma fur was found clinging
to bushes. 英文表達(dá)方式習(xí)慣用被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài), 突出客觀(guān)事實(shí)。而中文則善于運(yùn)用動(dòng)作的執(zhí)行者。

　　puma fur was found clinging to bushes. (被動(dòng))

　　We found the puma fur clinging to bushes. (主動(dòng))

　　-- clinging to bushes 是現(xiàn)在分詞短語(yǔ)做賓補(bǔ)

　　9、Several people complained of "cat-like noises' at night and a businessman
on a fishing trip saw the puma up a tree.

　　complain of/about sth 抱怨某事

　　on+名詞：強(qiáng)調(diào)動(dòng)作正在進(jìn)行

　　-- on the rise 在上升 / on the increase 在增加

　　-- on the watch 在觀(guān)看 / on the match 在比賽中

　　-- on the fishing trip 在釣魚(yú)的途中 / on holiday 在度假

　　10、The experts were now fully convinced that the animal was a puma, but where
had it come from?

　　Fully(adv.充分地, 完全地)= completely = entirely

　　11、As no pumas had been reported missing from any zoo in the country, this one
must have been in the possession of a private collector and somehow managed to
escape.

　　sth be in the possession of sb = sth be in sb's possession
某物歸某人所有(主語(yǔ)是物)

　　-- The beautiful car is in my possession.= The beautiful car is in the
possession of me. Sb be in possession of sth 某人擁有某物(主語(yǔ)是人)

　　-- I am in possession of the beautiful car.(in possession of… 做表語(yǔ))

　　-- The person in possession of the big house is excited. (in possession of…
做定語(yǔ)) take possession of… 擁有…

　　12、The hunt went on for several weeks, but the puma was not caught.

　　Went on = lasted (last vi.繼續(xù), 持續(xù))

　　It is disturbing to think that a dangerous wild animal is still at large in
the quiet countryside.

　　It is disturbing to think that... 一想到…就心理不安

　　-- It is disturbing to think that I fail my examination

　　in the quiet countryside 在寧?kù)o的山村
