【语法】看不懂这两个was的用法

只看楼主收藏回复

it was to this tree that Mother Squirrel wanted to take her family
She ran to the sidewalk, and in a moment was safely across the street and in the garden.
第一句为什么文章中要用it was 而不是把to this tree 放到句末,就是it was that Mother Squirrel wanted to take her family to this tree,这样句意不就更通顺嘛
第二句moment后的was是什么意思,这里又不表示she被动的穿过街道,她是自己主动过马路啊?

    it was to this tree that Mother Squirrel wanted to take her family.
    = Mother Squirrel wanted to take her family to this tree.
    前句是强调句,强调to this tree :松鼠妈妈要把她的一家人带去的“就是这棵树”。
    She ran to the sidewalk, and in a moment was safely across the street and in the garden.
    = She ran to the sidewalk,and (in a moment)was safely across the street and in the garden.
    in a moment 只是一个状语,修饰动词 was:(不一会儿)就安全地穿过街道,进入了花园

      第一句是强调,总比平铺直叙的句子吸引眼球。

        第二句无非就是把介词短语做模糊时间状语提前而已,没放在句尾,都是小问题,别慌。

          文章中使用 "it was" 的结构是为了强调 "to this tree",突出 Mother Squirrel 想要带家人去那棵树。如果将 "to this tree" 放到句末,句子结构仍然正确,但强调的重点可能会有所改变。
          第二句中的 "was" 是表示过去的简单过去时的动词,用来描述她在一瞬间安全地穿过了街道并来到了花园。这里的 "was" 并不表示被动,而是描述她的行为。
