1.He guards the sleep of his paupermaster as if he were a prince.纵然主人一贫如洗，它守护着主人的安睡就如同守护王子。

句中that是代词，代替前面名词 privilege，为确保在比较级中所比较的内容必须在同类事物之间进行，故常用that进行代替。例如：
The weather of Harbin is colder thanthat of Beijing.哈尔滨的天气比北京（的天气）寒冷。
The population of China is larger thanthat of any other country.中国的人口比世界上其他任何国家（的人口）都要多。
outcast作名词，意思是“被抛弃者；被排斥者”。例如：

4.And when the last scene of all comesand death takes its master in its embrace and the body is laid down in the coldground, no matter if all other friends pursue their way, there, by hisgraveside will the noble dog be found, his head between his paws, his eyes sadbut open in alert watchfulness faithful and true even to death.当最 后的时刻来临，死神夺去了主人的生命，尸体被埋葬在寒冷的地下，纵使所有的亲友都各奔前程，而那只高尚的狗却会独自守卫在墓旁。它仰首于两足之间，眼睛里虽然充满 悲伤，却仍机警地守护墓地，忠贞不渝，直到死亡。
no matter引导的让步状语从句中，通常用一般现在时代替一般将来时，所以主句中谓语动词用一般将来时（will be found)，而从句谓语动词用pursue的一般现在时，此处if表示“是否”。主句可调整为The noble dog will be found by his graveside.形容词短语 faithful and true even to death 是主语补足语。byhis graveside是主句中的地点状语，被前置在主句的句首位置，通常引起全部倒装（主语是代词时例外）。例如：
In this room will be held an importantmeeting.=An important meeting will beheld in this room.在这个房间里将要举行一场重要的会议。
In the distance could be seen themountains.远处可以见到群山。
此处作者根据行文需要只用了局部倒装，并且把主语补足语放在了两个独立主格结构的后面（这里watchfulness和faithful之间应该用逗号隔开）。其中his head后面跟随between引导的介词短语，his eyes 后面跟随形容词短语，分别构成独立主格结构。
scene意思是“事件；场面；情景”。例如：
A crowd soon gathered at the scene ofthe accident.群众迅速聚集在事故现场。
I can imagine the scene clearly in mymind.我可以清楚地想象出那个情景。
embrace可用作名词，也可用作动词，意思是“拥抱”。例如：
He held her to him in a warm embrace.他热烈地拥抱她。
She held out her arms to embrace thelittle girl.她伸出双臂来拥抱那个小女孩。
The hills embrace the village.山丘环抱着村庄。
动词pursue意思是“追求；致力于”。例如：
He began to pursue an easy andcomfortable life.他开始追求安逸舒适的生活。
Should people pursue their ownhappiness at the expense of others?难道人们应该为了追求自己的幸福而不惜损害他人吗?
形容词alert的意思是“警觉的；警惕的；戒备的”，常和介词to或for搭配使用。例如：
We all have to stay alert.我们大家都必须保持警惕。
A good hunting dog is alert to everysound and movement around.一只好猎犬对四周任何响动都很警觉。
In our reading we should always bealert for idiomatic expressions.我们在阅读过程中应经常注意惯用法。
watchful由watch＋后缀 —ful构成，意思是“注意的；留心的；谨慎的”，再加上后缀
-ness，构成名词watchfulness，意思是“警惕”。例如：
Your watchfulness alone ought to beenough to make people back off.单凭你的 警惕性就足够使别人保持距离。
