英语重点语法解析a puma at large
英语重点语法解析a puma at largePumas are large, cat-like animals which are found in America. When reports came into London Zoo that a wild puma had been spotted forty-five miles south of London, they were not taken seriously.节选《新概念英语3-A puma at large》文章解读：（1）a puma at large这是本文的题目，非常的简短，但却不容易看懂。
large在我们的印象中表示“大的”。
但是在这个题目里，at large为介词短语作定语，修饰a puma。
如果表示puma很大，正确的用法应该是a large puma。
at large是英语众多俚语中的一个。
表示逍遥自在的；未捕获的。
通常来形容具有一定危险性的人或事物。
比如：The disease is still at large. 疾病仍在蔓延（未控制）。
（2）cat-like 似猫的cat-like是经由两个单词进行组合而成的词，由词根+后缀构成。
因为后缀like就有相像的意思。
所以这个单词就是像猫的。
当然，如果需要，我们也可以写出dog-like的词。
（3）which引导的定语从句用法在这里，不得不说定语从句是分限定性定语从句和非限定性定语从句。
什么区别？先看一个例子：①I have a brother who is an actor.②I have a brother ，who is an actor.两个句子唯一的区别就是第2句多了一个逗号。
这两个句子虽然都在说“我的兄弟是演员”，但潜台词却透露了家庭的背影信息。
①是限定性定语从句，潜台词是，我有很多兄弟，其中一个是演员。
②是非限定性定语从句，潜台词是，我只有一个兄弟，他是演员。

课文原文参考译文A Puma at large逃遁的美洲狮Pumas are large, cat-like animals which are found in America. When reports came into London Zoo that a wild puma had been spotted forty-five miles south of London, they were not taken seriously. However, as the evidence began to accumulate, experts from the Zoo felt obliged to investigate, for the descriptions given by people who claimed to have seen the puma were extraordinarily similar.The hunt for the puma began in a small village where a woman picking blackberries saw 'a large cat' only five yards away from her. It immediately ran away when she saw it, and experts confirmed that a puma will not attack a human being unless it is cornered. The search proved difficult, for the puma was often observed at one place in the morning and at another place twenty miles away in the evening. Wherever it went, it left behind it a trail of dead deer and small animals like rabbits. Paw prints were seen in a number of places and puma fur was found clinging to bushes. Several people complained of "cat-like noises' at night and a businessman on a fishing trip saw the puma up a tree. The experts were now fully convinced that the animal was a puma, but where had it come from? As no pumas had been reportedmissing from any zoo in the country, this one must have been in the possession of a private collector and somehow managed to escape. The hunt went on for several weeks, but the puma was not caught. It is disturbing to think that a dangerous wild animal is still at large in the quiet countryside.美洲狮是一种体形似猫的大动物，产于美洲。

Thirteen equals one
Our vicar is always raising money for a cause or another, but he has never managed to get enough money to have the church clock repaired. The big clock which used to strike hours day and night was damaged many years ago and has been slient ever since.

Armed with a torch, our vicar went up into the clock tower to see what was going on. In the torchlight , he caught sight of a figure whom he immedelatly recognized as Bill Wilkings, our grocer. Whatever are you doing up here, asked vicar in surprise. I am trying to repair the bell, answer Bill. I have been coming up here night after night for weeks now. You see, I was going to give you a surprise. You sertainly did give me a surprise, said the vicar. You have probably woken up everyone in the village as well. Still, I am glad that the bell is working again. But the trouble is, answered Bill, the bell is working all right, but I’m afraid that at one o’clock it will strick thirteen
times there’s nothing I can do about it. We will used to that, Bill, said the vicar, thirteen is not as good as one, but it’s better than nothing. Now, let’s go downstairs and have a cup of a tea.。
