　　Though the doctor did hisbest, the patient's recovery was slow. On Christmas Day, the man still had his right legin plaster. He spent a miserable day in bed thinking of all the fun he was missing.

　　16. Though the doctor did his best, the patient's recovery was slow.

　　盡管醫(yī)生竭力醫(yī)治，但病人恢復緩慢。

　　語言點:句子結構分析:though引導讓步狀語從句，后半句中一般會出現(xiàn)“令人遺憾的事情”。

　　17. On Christmas Day, the man still had his right leg in plaster.

　　圣誕節(jié)那天，他的右腿還上著石膏。

　　語言點:have one's leg in plaster的意思是“腿上打著石膏”。注意不可直譯為“腿在石膏里”。

　　18. He spent a miserable day in bed thinking of all the fun he was missing.

　　他在床上郁郁不樂地躺了一天，想著他錯過的種種歡樂。

　　語言點:句子結構分析:對于本句中的thinking of all the fun he was missing有兩種不同的解釋:(1)sspend some time on doing sth.結構，意思是“花費時間做某事”(2)現(xiàn)在分詞thinking引導補充狀語，補充說明“躺在床上所想的事情”。Fun指“令人歡樂的事情或時光”，在本句中后接省去了引導詞that的定語從句he was missing。
