unaware/ˌʌnəˈweə(r)/未意识到的

语法点

过去进行时作背景

who was shouting... and waving... 把醉汉挑衅公牛的背景动作写得很具体。

相似句：
  • The boy was laughing and waving his arms.
  • She was standing by the door when I saw her.

seem to / seem + adj.

seemed quite sure of himself 用 seem 写出外在印象，不代表他真的清醒或有把握。

相似句：
  • He seemed very calm at the time.
  • The plan seemed impossible at first.

to let it pass 的目的表达

step aside to let it pass 用不定式说明动作目的，很适合写紧急避让。

相似句：
  • He moved back to let the car pass.
  • She opened the door to let them in.

读写提示

  • 这课要把“真正危险”和“人物误会”同时写出来。
  • 概括时别把醉汉写成真正的英雄，他只是误打误撞。
  • 拟人化词语 like sensitive, feel sorry for 很值得积累。
  • 结尾拖到安全地带这一步不能漏。
