| 释义 | When I read the twelfth paragraph, a phrase confuses me. That is “much more sympathetic types”. I easily find a word “group” which is at the beginning of this sentence. We know this phrase is inserted in the sentence as an additional explanation. As we know, “types” means “many groups”. But in context, we know the author just shows a kind of showoffs who are basically insecure in this part. From some references, I find the answer. In some informal situations, “types” means “members of an indicated class or variety of people”. At last sentence, I find two dashes. Between these two dashes, I find two sentences. These two sentences explain “the message” in this sentence. After I analyze this, I don’t feel puzzle about why the last sentence has three sentences and have no conjunctions. In the thirteenth paragraph, I stop to read, because of a word “folk”. Its meaning, I only know, is “people belonging to a particular race or nation, or sharing a particular kind of life”. Obviously, this meaning isn’t suitable for this sentence. At last, I know it just means “people”. In Paragraph 15, there is only one sentence. I find a familiar word “four”. What’s its meaning? Whether it means “four mothers” or “four children”? In my opinion, it means “four children”. Because if it means “four mother”, we should use “one” in front of “quiet mother”. |
