He was severely crippled and very short,and when we would walk together,his hand on my arm for balance,people would star
问题描述：
He was severely crippled and very short,and when we would walk together,his hand on my arm for balance,people would stare.句子中为什么不直接用cripple的形容词呢,还有when那句中为什么用would呀?
答
cripple可作名词和及物动词,作动词时,人作主语要用被动.eg.The accident crippled him for life.若人作主语则改为He was crippled by the accident for life.
would可表过去常做什么的意思,在此的意思就是“过去爸爸和我常一起走,这时他的手就会放在我的手臂上以保持平衡,人们就会注视着我们.”过去式表示过去发生的一次性的行为。句子的意思是和父亲共行是经常发生的事情。
