《小王子英文版》精读笔记Chapter 16-5

First would come the turn of the lamplighters of New Zealand and Australia. Having set their lamps alight, these would go off to sleep.

〖精读笔记〗

◆New Zealand 新西兰

◆Having set... alight, these ... to sleep.

1.此句代词these指上文中的the lamplighters of New Zealand and Australia

2.现在分词作状语：

单独的分词短语作状语时，逻辑主语必须和主句主语一致，所以这里Having set的逻辑主语也是these，且these和动作have set构成主动关系，所以要用现在分词

◆alight [əˈlaɪt] adj. 燃烧的；着火的

◆set意为“使某人或某物处于某种状态”
