请问各位老师,文中的And the turtles' way down in the pond were afraid. 这句话的结构和含义该如何理解?谢谢!
And the turtles' way down in the pond were afraid.
这个句子由表语afraid可知主语应该是the turtles。后面的句子They trembled. They shook. 也可以证明感到害怕的是turtles。所以这个句子中的属格撇号是传抄中的笔误,应该删去。way在此是副词,修饰down。way down in the pond整体是turtles的定语。
牛津关于way作副词的释义和例句:
(used with a preposition or an adverb)very far; by a large amount
