【语篇解读】 本文是一篇活动类广告,介绍了Summer Flicks、 Original Easton Farmers Market、 Making sterling silver jewelry和King Richard's Faire这四个活动的内容、时间、费用等相关情况。
【难句分析】 While there is no training, Easton resident and longtime silver jewelry maker Burt Lewis will help you get started with information on tools and equipment needed and more.
分析:这是一个主从复合句。连词While引导时间状语从句;主句的主语是Easton resident and longtime silver jewelry maker Burt Lewis,注意这是同一个人,Burt Lewis既是伊斯顿的居民,同时又是一位银首饰制造商,谓语动词是will help,宾语是you,后面的get started... and more 是不带to的不定式短语作宾语补足语;on tools and equipment是介词短语作后置定语,修饰information; needed是过去分词作后置定语,修饰tools and equipment。
译文:尽管没有培训,但是伊斯顿居民、长期的银首饰制造商Burt Lewis将会帮助你从(了解)需要的工具、设备等的信息开始(做银首饰)。
【背景知识】 King Richard's Faire每年都有精彩的娱乐表演,届时将有上百个才华横溢的表演者全天不间断地演出,杂技、空中特技、喜剧表演等都会轮番亮相。从全国各地来的工匠们还会展示他们制作的陶器、剑器和皮革盔甲等,人们会有一种踏入安徒生童话世界的即视感。
