【小編評(píng)注】一連串的動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)構(gòu)成的動(dòng)作描寫，外加我們已經(jīng)十分熟悉的分詞短語(yǔ)修飾成分，讓人不得不喜歡上作者親切可人的寫作手法。

【短語(yǔ)筆記】creep?toward?- 朝著……爬過去；glance?at?-?v.?+?prep?朝……看一眼，匆匆一瞥

【舉一反三】creep相關(guān)的短語(yǔ)有：

1.?to?creep?up/down/into?sth?躡手躡腳地走上/下/進(jìn)某處?

2.?to?creep?in?不知不覺地到來

【詞義辨析】creep,?climb,?crawl這些動(dòng)詞都有“爬”之意：

1. creep:?多指人或四足動(dòng)物匍匐爬行，尤指偷偷地或不出聲地緩慢向前爬行。也指植物的蔓延生長(zhǎng)等。

2. climb:?通常指用手或足爬上或爬下，也指飛機(jī)、日、月的上升，還可用作比喻。

3. crawl:?指人或動(dòng)物以身軀貼著地面緩慢地移動(dòng)。

【例】

1.?If you both creep down to the reeds and then keep still as statues, maybe the moorhen will come back with her chicks and you can see them close up.（如果你倆輕手輕腳地爬進(jìn)蘆葦叢，一動(dòng)也不動(dòng)地趴在那里，也許黑水雞會(huì)帶著她的小雞回來的，這樣，你們就可以在離得很近的地方觀察這些小動(dòng)物了。）

2.?Something?in?his?tone?made?Carole?glance?at?him?sharply.（他話中帶話，使卡羅嚴(yán)厲地看著他。）
