长难句解析

1.A Harthotlypursued by the houndsfledfor refuge intoanox-stall, andburieditselfin a truss of hay,leaving nothing to be seen but the tips of his horns.

一只被猎犬紧追的鹿逃到一个牛栏里避难，把自己埋在一堆干草里，除了鹿角尖什么也看不见。

解析：本句主语是A Hart，两个谓语是由and连接的，分别是fled和buried，两个宾语分别是an ox-stall和itself。过去分词短语pursued by the hounds作后置定语修饰Hart；现在分词短语leaving nothing to be seen but the tips of his horns作状语。nothing...but...意为“除了……什么也不；只有”。

2.The stable boys,who had been resting after their dinner,looked round, but could seenothing,andthe Hunterswent away.

牧童们晚饭后一直在休息，他们环顾四周，但什么也没看见，猎人们就走了。

解析：本句是一个主从复合句。主句部分是由and连接的两个分句构成，and前的分句的主语是The stable boys，两个谓语是由but连接的，分别是looked round和could see，宾语是nothing；and后的分句的主语是the Hunters，谓语是went away；who had been resting after their dinner是定语从句，修饰先行词The stable boys，关系代词who在从句中作主语，且从句的时态是过去完成进行时，表示在“looked round（四处看）”之前一直到该动作发生时乃至之后，牧童们一直在休息。
