Smash-and-grab砸橱窗抢劫
The expensive shops in a famous arcade near Piccadilly were just opening. At this time of the morning, the arcade was almost empty. Mr Taylor, the owner of a jewellery shop(同位语) was admiring a new window display. Two of his assistants had been working(过去完成进行时) busily since 8 o'clock and had only just finished. Diamond necklaces and rings had been beautifully arranged on a background of black velvet. After gazing at the display for several minutes, Mr Taylor went back into his shop.
The silence was suddenly broken when a large car, with its headlights on and its horn blaring, roared down the arcade. It came to a stop outside the jeweler's. One man stayed at the wheel while two others with black stockings over their faces jumped out and smashed the window of the shop with iron bars. While this was going on, Mr Taylor was upstairs. He and his staff began throwing furniture out of the window. Chairs and tables went flying into the arcade. One of the thieves was struck by a heavy statue, but he was too busy helping himself to diamonds to notice any pain. The raid was all over in three minutes, for the men scrambled back into the car and it moved off at a fantastic speed. Just as it was leaving, Mr Taylor rushed out and ran after it throwing ashtrays and vases, but it was impossible to stop the thieves. They had got away with thousands of pounds
worth of diamonds.

‘After gazing at the display for several minutes, Mr Taylor went back into his shop.’
运用ing形式结构,无论动名词还是分词其逻辑主语要和主句的主语保持一致 gazing的逻辑主语Mr Taylor所以采用after直接和gazing动名词搭配
本课的重点句式:with 的复合结构
后面接复合宾语,如果在宾语和宾语补足语逻辑上有主谓关系,应该采用动词的ing形式:
如果宾语和宾语补足语逻辑上是动宾关系,应该采用过去分词形式作宾补
如果是说明当时的情况,常用形容词、副词、介词短语表明宾语的状态
如果表达某事将要展开发生,要用动词不定式to,
She sat staring into the distance with tears streaming down her cheeks.她坐着凝视着远方泪流满面
She stood ther with her hands resting on her hips.
He ran into the room with his face covered with tears. 他泪流满面地跑进了房间Cover face动宾关系
With his homework finished, he felt happy. 动宾关系
He used to sleep with all the windows open. 形容词 他以前常开着窗睡觉Open说明window的状态
He went out with his hat on.副词 描述当时出去的状态 戴着帽子
With the meeting over, we went home. With只是独立主格结构只是小小的短语。不是完整的语句。
He came in with a knife in his hand. 介词短语 他走进来手里拿着一把铅笔刀
Two others with black stockings over their faces jumped out.另外两个脸部蒙着黑长袜的人跳出了车子
With和不定式to搭配做宾语补足语,不定式to表示将要发生的动作
With a lot of work to do, he can’t go to the cinama.
总结:
with 用于句首或句尾,常表示状语、行为方式、原因、伴随状况等;如果跟在名词之后,是用来修饰限定该名词
a thief with atocking over his face
a teacher with a book under his arm胳膊下面夹着一本书的一位老师
a room with the windows open窗子开着的一个房间
come to 后面常接名词,表示达到
come to a stop停下来, come to an end结束, come to a decision做出决定, come to an agreement达成协议, come to an understanding互相理解, come to success获得成功, come to fame出了名
停车 stop, draw up, pull up
A car draw up ouside the theatre 一辆车在剧场外停下来了
