第二、语法点拨

1. Tess did not watch him go

点拨：watch这个感官动词后面皆有人的宾语，那么，它后面再接动词的话，这个动词所表示的动作已经完成了的话，就用动词原形。如果正在进行，就用现在分词。动词原形和现在分词都是做宾语的补足语。

2. Tess felt even sadder than the autumn sadness which surrounded her．

点拨：which surrounded her是定语从句修饰名词the autumn sadness。

第三、口语表达

讲解：表示某人气得很早，可以说为：You are up early.
