A:How can I find the direction using my own watch?
B: Imagine a line which runs from the center of the watch through a point halfway between the hour-hand and number one.This line will surely point south.
问题:
1. run from怎么翻译,是固定短语吗?
2. through a point 能改成 cross 吗?
3. halfway 这句怎么翻译?什么词性? halfway 做什么句子成分?
4. 能把 Imagine a line which runs from the center of the watch through a point halfway between the hour-hand and number one. 句子成分划分一下吗?后面定语从句内部根本读不明白。
非常感谢老师的帮忙!

【参考译文】
A: 如何使用(我的)手表来判定方向呢?
B: 假想有条直线从手表中心起始,穿过时针与数字1间的中间点,那么该直线就指向正南方向。
(注:运用此方法确定方向时,时针要对准太阳)
【参考解析】
1. run这里的完整搭配为run from point A through point B 穿过AB两点的直线,属于一般的常见搭配吧。也可以这样表达:run through points A & B.这同时也回答了您第2个问题,这种搭配通常through没见过被across替代的例子。
2. Half这里为副词,意思为【在…中间】,at an equal distance between two points,这里与between介短一起作point的定语。例;
It’s about halfway between London and Bristol.它大约位于伦敦和布里斯托尔的正中间。
3. Imagine a line which runs from the center of the watch through a point
halfway between the hour-hand and number one.
这是一个祈使句,主语省略;imagine为谓语;a line为宾语;which分句为定从。
