翻譯：準(zhǔn)備完圣誕節(jié)晚宴和購買最后一分鐘禮物的所有細(xì)節(jié)都太遲了。
解析：it為形式主語was 為系動詞作謂語，采用一般過去時(shí)，and為并列連詞，它前后連接兩個(gè)相同的語法成分，all 為不定代詞，the 為定冠詞。
2. With Almie Rose and her six-year-old brother,Dylan,nestled snug in their beds,we could now think only of the bicycle,the guilt and the idea that we were parents who would disappoint their child.
翻譯：阿爾米·羅斯和她6歲的弟弟迪倫舒適地依偎在他們的床上，現(xiàn)在我們只能想到自行車、內(nèi)疚感還有我們是使孩子失望的父母這個(gè)想法。
解析：With Almie Rose and her six year old brother 為伴隨狀語，could作謂語，that后邊的部分為idea、bicycle、guilt的后置定語從句，從句中who引導(dǎo)的是parents的定語從句。
3. What if i make a little bicycle out of clay and write a note that she could trade the clay model in for a real bike？
翻譯：如果我用粘土做一輛小自行車，寫一張便條，那么她可以把這輛粘土模型自行車當(dāng)成一輛真正的自行車。
解析：what引導(dǎo)的疑問句，what if 如果……怎么樣，make…out of 用某物制造出，make和write做并列謂語，that引導(dǎo)的是note的后置定語從句，could trade是從句中的謂語，could是情態(tài)動詞后跟動詞原形。
4.Almie Rose had tears in her eyes when she replied,”I could never trade in this beautiful bicycle that Daddy made me.I’d rather keep this than get a real bike.”
翻譯：阿爾米·羅斯含著眼淚回答說：“我永遠(yuǎn)不能出售爸爸給我做的這輛漂亮的自行車，我寧愿保留這輛相比買輛真正的自行車?！?/p>
解析：when引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語從句，trade in 貿(mào)易，出售；that引導(dǎo)bicycle的后置定語從句，rather do …than do 寧愿做……而不做
