第五、语法点拨
1. In front of the fire was a table with a candle stuck into a bottle of beer, and an old man, with a horribly ugly face and red hair, stood next to the fire cooking.
要点解析1：第一处划线部分是介词段做定语修饰table，这个介词短语中stuck into a bottle of beer是过去分词短语做后置定语，修饰candle。
要点解析2：第二处划线部分是介词短语修饰man。
2. He was wearing a dirty old coat and seemed to divide his attention between his cooking and a number of silk handkerchieves, which were hanging near the fire．
要点解析：划线部分是非线性定语从句修饰handkerchieves。
3. Four or five boys, about the same age as the Artful Dodger, sat round the table, smoking and drinking like middle-aged men．
要点解析1：换线部分1是介词短语做定语修饰boys。
要点解析2：划线部分2是现在分词短语做伴随状况状语。
