范句:SCARLETT O’HARA was not beautiful, but men seldom realized it when caught by her charm as the Tarleton twins were.
------------------------------------------------
亮点分析:
(1)频率副词:seldom adv.很少。 大多人只会用 “don’t” 这种不精确的否定词,来表述否定。
(2)省略句1:“when caught”= when (men are) caught by her charm. when引导从句的主语,如果和主句的主语一样,可省略。
(3)省略句1: as the Tarleton twins were= as the Tarleton twins were(caught by her charm)
(4)内容布局:【负面内容】SCARLETT O’HARA was not beautiful,【内容转折】but men(抽象人物) seldom realized it when caught by her charm,【具体案例】as the Tarleton(具体人物) twins were.
