2 On the day after the New Year， AllisonScott and her friend， Alfred Valdivia， Jr.， madea last?minute decision to head up to Big BearLake in California for a camping trip. They packed up their equipment and broughtalong their dog for the planned night， never once imagining that they were actually set?ting out on a rescue mission for a man theyd never met.

3 Allison and Alfred picked a camping spot between Big Bear Lake and Angelus Oaks.They were relaxing when， suddenly， a low?flying plane caught their attention. As the planewent by， they heard a mans voice calling out for help somewhere nearby. Curious， theytracked the sound to a ridgeline， and at the bottom of the hill， a man named Eric wasstranded （使滯留）.

4“We end up finding him， and my friend is looking over the ridge （山脊） and callingout，‘Hey I see you，”Allison recalled.“He had a stick with a water bottle on it trying to signal. He couldnt walk. His feet were extremely swollen and infected just from walking somuch.”

5 Allison and Alfred climbed down to Eric and learned that hed set out from his homein Oceanside two weeks earlier. No one knew where he was， and no one was looking forhim. He didnt own a cell phone， either. Hed managed to survive for the past 14 dayseating only a half a jar of salsa hed brought along for the hike.

6 Eric told Allison and Alfred it was a“miracle”that they d discovered him. Hewas extremely weak and hungry. Allison used her cell phone to call 911， and within 15 min?utes a rescue helicopter arrived to airlift the starving man to safety.

語言學(xué)習(xí)

Ⅰ. 語料薈萃

Ⅱ. 語句分析

1. They packed up their equipment and brought along their dog for the planned night，never once imagining that they were actually setting out on a rescue mission for a man theyd never met. 他們收拾好裝備，帶著他們的狗，計(jì)劃過夜，從未想過他們實(shí)際上是去為一個(gè)素未謀面的人執(zhí)行救援任務(wù)。

【點(diǎn)石成金】They packed up their equipment and brought...night是句子的主干，其中packed up和brought是并列謂語，never once imagining...met是動(dòng)詞?ing 形式作狀語，that they were actually...met是that引導(dǎo)的賓語從句，theyd never met是限制性定語從句。

2. Eric told Allison and Alfred it was a“miracle”that theyd discovered him. 埃里克告訴艾莉森和阿爾弗雷德，他們發(fā)現(xiàn)了他，這真是個(gè)“奇跡”。

【點(diǎn)石成金】本句是一個(gè)主從復(fù)合句。Eric told Allison and Alfred 是主句，后面部分是省略了that的賓語從句，其中it是形式主語，that theyd discovered him是主語從句。
