1. on Sundays：在星期日
讲解：表示事情一贯来就是发生在星期日，那么表示日期的名词要加s。因此，这里使用的是Saturdays。
2. a wild hungry eye：饿得发狂的眼神（目光）
讲解：eye在这里是作为“眼神，目光”的意思，这时候是不可数名词，不要在eye的后面加s。作为眼睛来讲，才是可数名词。

讲解：表示晚饭后，吃完晚饭后，supper前面不要加任何冠词。

第三、语法点拨
The room in the workhouse where the boys were fed was a large stone hall...
要点解析：划线部分in the house是介词短语做定语修饰room，where the boys were fed是有关系副词where引导的定语从句做定语修饰指代地点且在定语从句中充当状语成分的先行词room。
