in chains 带着镣铐,受到束缚。例:

2. Heavy iron chains around his feet and hands were fixed to a metal bar that ran round the hall about ten centimeters off the ground.
手上和脚上沉重的铁链被拴在厅堂四周离地只有10厘米的金属杆上。

seize(突然)抓住。如:

5. What shocked him most was that the men who carried him were black.
最使他震惊的是搬运他的人竟是黑人。

that the men who carried him were black 是由that引导的表语从句。
6. He reasoned with them and tried to persuade them to set him free.

有一个住在美国的记者兼作家,叫阿里克斯.哈里。
a journalist and writer 是一个人;

10. On his arrival he was sold to a farmer and worked in the fields.

【语法-It句型的用法小结】
一、It引起的几个易混淆的时间句型
在学习中,同学生们对"It + be + 时间 + 从句"这个结构经常混淆不清,下面逐一进行分析。
1,It + be + 时间 + since-clause
这个句型表示从since 从句谓语动作发生以后到现在或过去所经过的一段时间,意为"自从......以来已多久了",主句多用一般现在时,从句用一般过去时,如果表示过去的情况,主句用一般过去时,从句用过去完成时,或主句用过去完成时,从句用一般过去时。
例如:
It is three years since his father passed away . (从现在算起)
It was 10 years since they married . (从过去算起)
It had been fifteen years since she left Shanghai . (从过去算起)
30 years has passed since we joined the Party . (从现在算起)
2,It + be + 时间 + before-clause
这个句型中的时间一般为表示一段时间的词语(如:long years , months , weeks , days ,hours , minutes ) ,主句中的谓语动词用肯定式,意为"过多长时间才......"。
