　　19.He was greeted by an unpleasant smell which convinced him that I was telling the truth.

　　一股怪味袭来，使他相信了我说的真话。

　　语言点:be greeted by的本意为“被问候，被欢迎”，在此句中具有强烈的反语意味，充分表现了作者幽默的写作手法。

　　20. A few minutes later, I was able to hurry away with precious chalk marks on my baggage.

　　几分钟后，我终于被放行，手提划着宝贵的粉笔记号的行李，匆匆离去。

　　语言点:句子结构分析: with precious chalk marks on my baggage作able to hurry away的伴随状语。Precious chalks为反语修辞格。
