【解析】这是一篇记叙文。一个年轻人在穿越沙漠时遇到一泉清水,感觉非常甘甜,于是他用容器将水带回给自己的老师品尝。经过四天的旅程,水已经变质,但是老师却说水非常好喝,因为他感受到的是学生的心意。
【1】此处用the表示特指上面提到的水。
【2】who引导定语从句,先行词是an elder,指人,从句中缺少主语,故用who。
【3】present在此处为动词,意思是“赠送”。整篇文章都是讲述过去的事情,所以用过去时。
【4】此处用warmly这个副词修饰前面的动词smile。
【5】with表示“带着”。这个年轻人带着愉快的心情回家了。
【6】老师让另外一个学生尝了尝水。another另一个。
【7】与前面用逗号隔开,没有连词,故判断这里用非谓语动词形式。根据say与主语he之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词。
【8】句意:水很糟糕,为什么您假装喜欢它?用it代指上文提到的水。
【9】形容词的比较级用于否定句中,表示最高级的意义。句意:没有什么比这更甜了。
【10】when引导时间状语从句。句意:当我们从孩子们那里收到爱的礼物时,最能够理解这个故事的意义。
