2. 语言要点 1)It is a world of magic and wonders, a world where anything can happen. 这是一个存在着魔法和奇迹的世界，是一个任何事情都可能发生的世界。 本句中 “a world where anything can happen” 做同位语，而本身又包含一个where引导的定语从句。下文中的 “a boy with a scar on his forehead and a secret past” 也是同位语。 2)…，but they can still be friends if they share the same goals, hopes and dreams. 但是如果他们有着同样的目标、愿望和同样的梦想他们仍然可以成为朋友。 share (in) sth. 分享 share sth. with/between/among sb. (和某人)共同分享 We shared the sweets. 我们分吃了糖果。 They share their joys and sorrows. 他们同甘共苦。 Bill and Bob shared the work equally between them. 比尔和鲍勃两人把工作平分了。 3)The lady in the picture had such strange eyes that it was almost as if the woman in the picture was watching them. 画中女人的眼睛非常奇怪，就好像在窥视他们一样。 as if = as though 似乎是，好像是 例：She always talked to me as if/though she was my sister. 她总是以我妹妹的口气和我说话。 He walked slowly as if he had hurt his leg. 他慢慢地走，好像腿受伤的样子。 She looks as if she is going to cry. 她看起来似乎要哭了。 It looks as if we will be late. 看起来我们似乎会迟到。 4)…，and that not all of them were safe. 他们不是所有的人都安全。 这是一个部分否定句。这里我们也可以说 “all of them were not safe”。 再如：Not all of us are students. 我们不都是学生。 = All of us are not students. 完全否定应该是 none of 。 None of them were safe. 他们都不安全。 None of us are students. 我们都不是学生。 5)He was about to say something when Helen turned around. 他正要说话的时候，海伦转过身来。 be about to do sth. when … 正要做……，(突然)…… 例：I was about to jump into the river for a swim when the guide shouted at me. 我正要跳下河游泳的时候向导向我大喊起来。 6)We need a password to get through the wall. 我们需要咒语穿过这堵墙。 get through 到达;做完;通过;度过;打通 例：The road ahead is narrow, so a truck can’t get through (it). 前面的路很窄，所以卡车没有办法通过。 How long does it take you to get through a letter? 你写一封信要花多长时间?
