①The expensive shops in a famous arcade near Piccadilly were just opening. At this time of the morning, the arcade was almost empty. Mr. Taylor, the owner of a jewellery shop was admiring a new display. Two of his assistants had been working busily since eight o'clock and had only just finished. Diamond necklaces and rings had been beautifully arranged on a background of black velvet. After gazing at the display for several minutes, Mr. Taylor went back into his shop.

节选《新概念英语3 Smash-and-grab》

【生词】

arcade n. 有拱廊的街道(两旁常设商店)

昨天学习了主要学习了 ①not only … but(also) … 不仅…而且…与as well as的区别。②lead，guide，direct等的区别等。

昨天文章如下：

not only...but also怎么用？与as well as有什么区别？

The expensive shops in a famous arcade near Piccadilly were just opening. At this time of the morning, the arcade was almost empty.

皮卡迪利大街附近的一条著名拱廊街道上，几家高档商店刚刚开始营业。在早晨的这个时候，拱廊街上几乎空无一人。

先将第一句话进行分解，看一个长难句是如何形成的。

The expensive shops / in a famous arcade / near Piccadilly / were just opening.

该句子原本为The shops were just opening.

随后添加形容词expensive修饰shops，再而添加介词短语等，将句子补充的越来越完善，也越来越长。

我们若想写长句子，你还觉得难吗？

仿写：

①那个学生正在读英语。

The student is reading English.

②那个留学生正在读英语。

The foreign student is reading English.

③那个留学生正在图书馆读书。

The foreign student in the library is reading English.

④那个留学生正在临近丽娃河的图书馆读书。

The foreign student in the library near Liwa river is reading English.

丽娃河是我们华东师范大学的校河。

如果我们在考试作文中，想要表达一个简单句，就可以通过以上4个步骤，一步一步添加修饰成分，句子也不会写错，句子也写的足够长，字数就容易达到要求的标准。当然修饰成分最好与主题有关，不是要你所有的名字都添加修饰哦。

empty: 指空无一人或一物，或空洞无意义的。

同样可以表达这个意思的单词有：

vacant: 普通用词，侧重某物或某个位置没有被占用。

hollow: 指物体中间是空的。

blank: 指上面没有写字、印刷或做记号的空白表面，或指上面留着准备被填写的空白处。

open: 指未被占有，从而可被别人得到的。

知道这些词的含义，就不要用错啦。

比如 empty bottle就是空瓶子，而vacant bottle虽然也指空瓶子，但侧重指没有被占用的空瓶子。

摘要：新概念英语3的第6课Smash-and-grab，砸橱窗抢劫。明天主要内容：同位语从句，以及同位语从句的仿写来延长句子，写也漂亮的长难句。英语说到底是为了用，只看不用，最后还是不会。大家在看完语法点后，也可以试着写两个句子，加强锻炼。
