1. Why does the wife tell her husband to leave the children in the moonlight?

Read the play again and answer the questions.

The weather was so dry that no food would grow. If they didn’t left the children to die in the forest the whole family would die.

2d

2. What does Hansel go out to get?He gets some stones.

3. Why does he do it in the moonlight?

Because they’ll be able to see the stones in the bright moon.

4. How do Hansel and Gretel find their way home? Because Hansel is dropping white stones along the way. When the moon is shining bright, they’ll be able to see the stones and find their way home.

5. Why do Hansel and Gretel get lost the second time?

Because they can’t see any bread on the ground. Maybe the birds ate them.

so… that… 是一个常见的句式结构，表示“如此……以至于……” , 副词 so 之后接形容词或副词， that 引导一个完整的句子，有时 that 还可省略。例如本单元的这个句子： That bird’s song is so beautiful that we would follow it.

1. One year, the weather was so dry that no food would grow. 有一年，天气太干旱了，以至于粮食颗粒不长。

We thought… 表示人们对过去的某种想法，判断等，可以译作“我们原想…… ; 我们本以为……”。如：I thought he would come, but he didn’t.

2. We thought you were never coming back. 我以为你们再也回不来了。

此句中 made of bread, cake and sugar 作定语，修饰名词 house, 形容词 wonderful 也是house 的定语。在英语中，大部分形容词作定语修饰名词时应前置，短语或句子作定语修饰名词时则后置。如： the young people in the room 屋子里的年轻人

3. It’s leading us to that wonderful house made of bread, cake and sugar. 它在把我们引向那座由面包，蛋糕和糖 果做成的美妙小屋。

4. The wife told her husband that unless he left the children to die in the forest, the whole family would die. 妻子告诉丈夫，如果他不把孩子们 扔到森林里让他们自生自灭，整个 家庭就会灭亡。

unless 的意思是“如果不，若非，除非”，它引导的是一个条件状语从句，相当于if…not 。因此，上面的句子改写为 : …if he didn’t leave the children to die in the forest, the whole family would die.

as soon as 表示 “一……就……”，再如本单元的这个句子： As soon as you wake up, you must go to the forest with your father. 你们一醒来就必须和爸爸去森林里。

5. As soon as the moon rises, we can follow them instead. 月亮一升起来 , 我们就可以顺着它们走 了。
