DIDN'T SLEEP
Strange things were happening in the countryside of northeastern① Hebei. For veral days，the water in the village wells② ropillow fight③ and fell，ro and fell.There were deep cracks that appeared in the well walls.At least one well had some smelly④colon gas coming out of it [1]．Chickens and even pigs were too nervous to eat[2]，and dogs refud to go inside buildings.Mice ran out of the fields looking for places to hide[3]，and fish jumped out of the water.At about 3：00 a．m., on 28 July 1976，bright lights were en in the sky outside the city of Tangshan and loud nois were heard.But the city's one million people were asleep⑤ as usual⑥ that night.
[1]“coming out of it”在此为现在分词短语作后置定语，修饰gas。gas与come之间为逻辑上的主谓关系。
[2]此处为“”结构，表示“太……而不能……”。
[3]“looking for places to hide”在此为现在分词短语作伴随状语，Mice与look for之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，“寻找”与“跑”同时进行。
At 3：42 a．m.，everything began to shake⑦.It emed as if the world were coming to an end⑧！[4]Eleven kilometres directly⑨ below the city，one of the most deadly⑩ earthquakes of the 20th century had begun，a quake that even caud damage more than⑪ 150 kilometres away in Beijing [5]．Nearly one third of the whole nation felt it！A huge crack，eight kilometres long and 30 metres wide，cut across hous，roads，and waterways⑫.Hard hills of rock became rivers of dirt.In less than one minute，a large city lay in ruins⑬.Two thirds of the people who lived there were dead or injured.Thousands of children were left without parents.[6]The number of⑭ people who were killed or badly injured in the quake was more than 400,000.
[4]本句中as if引导表语从句，该从句使用了虚拟语气。
[5]“a quake that in Beijing”为“one of the most deadly earthquakes”的同位语，其中“that in Beijing”为that引导的定语从句，修饰先行词a quake，that在从句中作主语。
书香伴我成长演讲稿600字左右[6]此处为“leave＋宾语＋宾补”结构的被动形式。
Everywhere survivors⑮ looked，there was nothing but ruins.[7]Nearly everything in the city was destroyed.About 75 percent of the city's factories and buildings,90 percent of its homes，and all of its hospitals were gone⑯practi.Bricks covered the ground like red autumn leaves，but no wind could 肢体语言blow them away⑰.Most bridges had fallen or were not safe to crossimac是什么.[8]The railway tracks⑱ were now uless⑲ pieces of metal.Tens of thousands of cows，hundreds of thousands of pigs，and millions of chickens were dead.Sand now filled the wells instead of⑳adnce water.People were in shock—and then，later that afternoon，another big quake shook Tangshan again.Even more buildings fell down.Water，food，and electricitywere hard to get.People began to wonder how long the disaster would last[9]．
[7]“Everywhere survivors looked”是地点状语从句。Everywhere既是地点副词，也作连词，引导地点状语从句。主句中用了“”结构，but是介词，意为“除……之外”；该结构后可跟名词、代词或动词不定式，如果nothing前面有实义动词do时，后跟的动词不定式要省略to。
[8]此处是“主语＋be＋adj.(＋for sb.)＋不定式”句型，不定式用主动形式表示被动意义。下文中的“Water，food，and electricity were hard to get”也属于此句型。
[9]how在此作连接副词，引导宾语从句，同时作状语修饰形容词long。
But hope was not lost.Soon after the quakes，the army nt 150,000 soldiers to Tangshan to dig outtho who were trappedand to bury the dead.[10]More than 10,000 doctors and nurs came to provide medical care.Workers built shelters for survivors who homes had been destroyed.Hundreds of thousands of people were helped.Water and food were brought into the city by train，truck，and plane.Slowly，the city began to breathe again.
[10]本句中“to and to bury the dead”为两个并列的动词不定式作目的状语，其中who were trapped为who引导的定语从句，修饰先行词tho；先行词为tho且指人时，定语从句要用who引导。the dead表示“死者”，属于“the＋adj德福报名.”结构。
