A new machine called 'The Revealer' has been invented and it has been used to detect gold which has been buried in the ground.
一句话中只有一个动词, 如果再出现动词, 可以用 and 并列连接, 也可以变成复合句, 用 when, because连接, 还可以使这个动词表示动词意思, 但不做谓语, 即非谓语动词过去分词做定语, 表示 “被”,如 ploughed field。
长难句解析 通过连接词断开为3个句子:and、which → 找到谓语动词(三态 + 一否) → 按简单句理解即可
| 主语 | 谓语(现在完成被动) | 连词 | 主语 | 谓语(现在的之前被) | 目的状语 | 关系词 | 谓语(从句) | 定语(从句) |

| A new machine | called | 'The Revealer' | has been invented | and | it | has been used | to detect gold | which | has been buried | in the ground. |
A new machine is called 'The Revealer' | 主句(形式主语) | 定语从句 |
n. + called 被称之为…的…
The machine was used in a cave near the seashore where -- it is said -- pirates used to hide gold.
-- it is said -- 是插入语 当“据说”讲,后插入到句子中间做补充说明的,与句子并没有实际的关系(不重要)。
- This is the river which I swim in.
- This is the river where I swim.
* The pirates would often bury gold in the cave and then fail to collect it. 就算没有often通过would也能表示“常常”
would 表示过去的习惯性动作, 但此处表示 “used to” 过去常做。当我们提到过去某一特定时间时, 我们有时可用 would 来代替 used to,有时则不可以,而且 would 需要指出具体时间,used to 则不需要。
| used to do sth. 过去常常做(现在不做了) | would do sth.过去常常做(不与现在对比) |
|---|
| I used to go to work by bus. Now I go by car.过去常常做某事,但现在不做了 | I would go to work by bus. 表示一种过去的习惯或惯例 |
- I used to be a student. 表示过去的状态(静态的事)
- I used to have many pen-friends. 我过去有笔友(静态的)
| - The machine was used in a cave near the seashore where pirates would hide gold. (可换为used do)
- The pirates would often bury gold in the cave and then fail to collect it.(可换为used do)
|
would do sth. 不能故事的开头,只能用于事物的后续描述中。When I was a boy, I used to spent my holiday in a factory. I would get up at 5:00 and would start working at 6:00. |
| used to do 过去常常做,现在不了 | 暗示与现在的对照时,不可用 would 替换 | - I used to drink heavily, but I have given up drinking now.
- I never used to eat a large breakfast, but I do now.
|
|---|
| 描写过去的状态时,不可与 would 互换 | - This sort of novel used to be very popular. 这种小说过去很流行
- I used to be a waiter, but now I’m a taxi-driver. would 只表示过去特有的习惯或行为
|
| 不强调与现在的对比时,可与 would 互换 | - When I was a boy we always spent / used to spend our holidays on a farm.但一个故事开头时不用 would
- We would get up at 5 and we would help milk the cows.首先用一般过去时或 used to 描述背景,然后用 would 表示习惯性动作
|
fail to do sth. 未能、不能、忘记做某事项 (fail 后面接动词不定式表示否定)
collect 的含义之一为“(去)取,接”
- Don’t fail to collect me before you go to the party. 不要忘记接我
- I’ll collect my post on my way home. 我会在回家的路上取邮件的
* Armed with the new machine, a search party went into the cave hoping to find buried treasure.
arm(ed) with 可以表示“带着、装着、穿着”等
- Don’t worry. I’m armed with an umbrella. 带了一把伞
- You’d better arm yourself with a warm coat. 你最好带(装备)一件暖和的外套。
| Armed with 非谓语 | the new machine, | a search party went into the cave | hoping | to find(隐宾) | buried treasure. |
| 修饰整句话做状语 § | 主 + 谓 + 宾 | 非谓语 | buried 修饰 treasure |

如果几个句子的主语是同一事物, 则可以把几个句子合并为一个句子。保留一个句子做主句, 其他的变成非谓语动词。非谓语动词采用何种形式, 则根据其与主语的关系, 如果是主动关系, 用-ing, 被动关系, 则用动词的-ed 形式主句与其他句子的位置安排要保持句子的平衡, 还要注意动作的连贯。 - The boy went home. 回家
- The boy was crying. 在哭
- The boy was beaten. 被打了
- Beaten by sb., the boy went home, crying. 三件事一起说(男孩被某人打了,哭着回了家)

The leader of the party was examining the soil near the entrance to the cave when the machine showed that there was gold under the ground.
一大包一小的句型,先使用连接词断开句子再理解。时间状语从句里再包括了一个宾语从句。
| The leader of the party | was examining | the soil | near the entrance to the cave | when | the machine | showed | that | there | was | gold under the ground. |
| 主语 | 谓语 | 宾语 | 定语 | 状语 | 主语 | 谓语 | 连接词 | 表 | 系 | 主 |
| 宾语从句(there be 是倒装) |
| 时间状语主句 | 时间状语从句 |
理解长难句 很多时候名词加入了多个修饰词后会变得不好理解,我们可以原子化处理,断开连接、分析主谓,按简单句理解就会变成很容易。
- The leader was examining the soil. x正在检查土壤。
- When the machine showed gold under the ground. 当机器发现地下有金子的时候。
| 原子化(深入理解) |
