每课一句：新概念第2册第69课
今天我们接着来看第70课的“每课一句”。
一、课文原文
Lesson 70 Red for danger
During a bullfight, a drunk suddenly wandered into the middle of the ring. The crowd began to shout, but the drunk was unaware of the danger. The bull was busy with the matador at the time, but it suddenly caught sight of the drunk who was shouting rude remarks and waving a red cap. Apparently sensitive to criticism, the bull forgot all about the matador and charged at the drunk. The crowd suddenly grew quiet. The drunk, however, seemed quite sure of himself. When the bull got close to him, he clumsily stepped aside to let it pass. The crowd broke into cheers and the drunk bowed. By this time, however, three men had come into the ring and they quickly dragged the drunk to safety. Even the bull seemed to feel sorry for him, for it looked on sympathetically until the drunk was out of the way before once more turning its attention to the matador.

二、每课一句
Apparently sensitive to criticism, the bull forgot all about the matador and charged at the drunk.
注意本句话中的“Apparently sensitive to criticism”是简略结构，其完整原形应该是：
Because it was apparently sensitive to criticism
Because it was apparently sensitive to criticism
这其实是属于把从句改为分词短语结构的运用。关于这个内容，我们在第20课的“每课一句”里已经做了说明，大家可以参看下面的文章：
每课一句：新概念第2册第20课
与第20课所讲的不同的是，本课的这句话中的从句谓语动词不是行为动词，而是系表结构。尽管在把从句改为短语时的基本步骤是一样的，但是要注意如果是系表结构，改为短语后，be动词一般要改为现在分词形式。比如，本课中的这句话中的从句改为短语后应该是：
Being apparently sensitive to criticism
Being apparently sensitive to criticism
而在此基础上，being可以出于简化的需要被进一步删除，从而才有了原文中的版本：
Apparently sensitive to criticism
Apparently sensitive to criticism
这个用法，其实在第49课的“每课一句”里也有说明，也就是第49课的第一句话，相关具体内容大家可以参看下面的文章：

三、更多拓展
Even the bull seemed to feel sorry for him, for it looked on sympathetically until the drunk was out of the way before once more turning its attention to the matador.
注意这句话中的for是并列连词，它所引导的句子是用来补充说明前句所描述的状况的原因。
同样是表原因，because所引导的句子为从句，而for所引导的句子为并列句。此外，because所以引导的从句，可以根据表达需要置于句首或句末，而for所引导的句子则只能位于句末。试比较：
【对】Many families break up because of a lack of money.
【对】Because of a lack of money many families break up.
【对】The family broke up, for it was in lack of money.
【错】For it was in lack of money, the family broke up.
【对】Many families break up because of a lack of money.
【对】Because of a lack of money many families break up.
【对】The family broke up, for it was in lack of money.
【错】For it was in lack of money, the family broke up.
