Question

问一句英语翻译及其语法

The Fusses were at risk of joining the millions of Americans who have lost their homes in recent years. Then Dave and Gerrie received a timely gift---$7,000，a legacy (遗产) from their neighbors Ish and Arlene Hatch, who died in (34)_____ accident. ―It really made a difference (35)_____ we were going under financially.‖ says Dave.

答案：34. an
35. when
帮我翻译一下，并且讲一下它的语法谢谢！

Answer 1

34. 该非限从句是说Hatch死于一次意外事故. 由于事故 “accident”是元音开头（就像苹果apple一样），所以不能说a accident / a apple, 而是要用an accident / an apple.

35.句首的it从上下文来看是指前文说到的那笔遗产，这笔钱（7千美金）说起来不是一笔大数目，不过，在当时我们正手头资金（或者叫财力）窘迫的时候（当……什么时候，when），有这7千美金真的是大不一样。

希望能帮助解开你的疑问。
