第二部分 TEXT
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.
參考譯文
在一次鬥牛時，一個醉漢突然溜達到鬥牛場中間，人們開始大叫起來，但醉漢卻沒有意識到危險。當時那公牛正忙於對付鬥牛士，但突然它看見了醉漢，只見他正大聲說着粗魯的話，手裏揮動着一頂紅帽子。對挑釁顯然非常敏感的公牛完全撇開鬥牛士，直奔醉漢而來。觀衆突然靜了下來，可這醉漢像是很有把握似的。當公牛逼近他時，他踉蹌地往旁邊一閃，牛撲空了。觀衆歡呼起來，醉漢向人們鞠躬致謝。然而，此時已有3個人進入鬥牛場，迅速把醉漢拉到安全的地方。好像連牛也在爲他感到遺憾，因爲它一直同情地看着醉漢，直到他的背影消逝，才重新將注意力轉向鬥牛士。

整句分析
這個句子很長。for引導的句子與它前面的分句爲並列句。for引導的分句中有兩個時間狀語，一是until引導的從句，二是before引導的動名詞短語，其作用也相當於一個從句，由於主語也是it，用動名詞形式更簡潔些。
