三语法核心总结

形容词短语作状语

Apparently sensitive to criticism（表原因）

过去完成时

three men had come into the ring

for 引导原因分句

for it looked on sympathetically

until 引导时间从句

until the drunk was out of the way

Apparently sensitive to criticism 是形容词短语作状语：它说明公牛「突然转向醉汉」的原因，相当于 As it was apparently sensitive to criticism。形容词或形容词短语作状语时，其逻辑主语必须与主句主语一致。
for 引导的并列原因分句：Even the bull seemed to feel sorry for him, for it looked on sympathetically until … 这里 for 是并列连词，表「因为」，语气比 because 弱，通常用来补充说明理由，不能放在句首。
until 与 before 的连用：it looked on sympathetically until the drunk was out of the way before once more turning its attention to the matador. until 说明「一直看到……为止」，before 说明「在这之后才……」；两个连接词前后呼应，把公牛「久久注视」的过程写足。
