Claire didn’t want the robot in her house, especially as her husband would be absent for three weeks, but Larry persuaded her that the robot wouldn’t harm her or allow her to be harmed. [点拨] 该句是一个由but连接的并列句。第一个分句包含一个as引导的原因状语从句, 说明克莱尔不愿让机器人留在家里的原因; but之后的句子的主干为Larry persuaded her。 persuade后面是双宾语: her充当间接宾语, that引导的宾语从句充当直接宾语。还要注意在该宾语从句中的not ... or ... 的意思是“既不……也不……”。 persuade sb. to do sth.=persuade sb. into doing sth.说服某人做某事 persuade若用于过去式，是指劝说成功, 若劝说不成功，就不应用persuaded，而应用tried to persuade或advised. e.g. She tried to persuade/advised his husband to give up smoking, but failed. 她曾劝说她丈夫戒烟, 但失败了。 He was persuaded to give up smoking at last. 他最终被说服戒烟了。 5. embarrassed 尴尬的, 难堪的, 害羞的 be embarrassed in the presence of strangers. 在生人面前局促不安 embarrass sb. with sth./ by doing sth. 做…使某人尴尬/窘迫 Don’t embarrass them with (by asking) personal questions. 7. elegant 　优雅的，高雅的 an elegant gentleman　举止文雅的绅士 You look elegant in that dress. 9. pile 堆 a pile of=piles of=a lot of　堆积如山的 I have a pile of work to do this evening. 今晚我有一大堆工作要做。 10. or rather　或者说，准确地说 What I want is the truth, or rather a series of truth. 我需要的是事实, 准确地说是一系列事实。 12.

After all, she knew Claire’s husband’s name was Larry, not Tony. 从她脸上惊奇的表情判断, 克莱尔知道拉迪斯认为她有外遇, 毕竟她知道她丈夫的名字是拉里, 而不是托尼。 1) by prep. 此处相当于according to根据,按照 By my watch it is two o’clock.. by的用法： “到......时为止”, 其后若跟过去时间, 时态多用过去完成时; 若跟将来时间, 时态多用将来完成时。 By the age of 15, he had taught himself advanced maths. 到15岁时,他就自学完了高等数学。 表示时间时, 还有“在……期间,不迟于”的意思。 I have no idea why he often sleeps by day. 我不知道他为什么常在白天睡觉。 By tomorrow he will be here. 他明天就到这儿。 by 作为介词和副词,意思还有“在附近,在旁边, 经, 由, 依据, 通过, 用, 以……方式”等
