14、【1】整个句子是“not.until.”句式。“I hadnt”是“I hadnt asked myself”的省 略形式,until 引导时间状语从句。在该时间状语从句中,whether 引导的从句作 asked 的直接宾语,whether 在此意为“是否”。 【2】 “neither.nor.”是并列连词,意为“既不又不”;此处否定 词 Neither 位于句首,故句子用倒装结构。 【3】句中 how 引导的从句作 thinking 的宾语。句中“got me thinking”是“get 宾语宾补”结构,此处用现在分词 thinking 作宾补。 2 For example, in ou

21、pineapple(菠萝) 里既没有 pine(松树)也没有 apple(苹果)。这让我不禁思考,英语学起来怎么会是 一门令人抓狂的语言。 2例如,闲暇时我们可以 sculpt a sculpture(雕刻一件雕塑品),paint a painting(画一幅画),但是要说 take a photo(拍一张照片)。旅行时,我们说我们 in the car(在小汽车里)或 in the taxi(在出租车里),但是要说 on the train(在火车上)或 on the bus(在公共汽车上)!旅游期间,我们可能会在海(sea)上晕船(seasick)、在 空(air)中晕机(airsick)
22、、在汽车(car)上晕车(carsick),但回到家(home)时不会“晕 家”。说到家,为什么 homework(家庭作业)和 housework(家务劳动)不是一回事 呢? 3如果“hard”(坚硬的)是“soft”(柔软的)的反义词,为什么“hardly”(几乎不) 和“softly”(柔软地)却不是一对反义词呢?如果 harmless actions(无害的行为)是 7 harmful actions(有害的行为)的反义词,为什么 shameless behaviors(无耻的行为) 和 shameful behaviors(可耻的行为)是同义词呢? 4当我们向窗外看去,看到 rain
23、 雨)或 snow(雪)时,我们可以说“its raining”(下雨了)或“its snowing”(下雪了),但我们看到 sunshine(阳光)时,我们不 能说“its sunshining”(下阳光了)。 5即使最简单的词也可能让人感到困惑。在医学报告中看到大写的“WHO” 时,你会将它理解为“Whos that?”(那是谁)中的“who”(谁)吗?那么 “IT”和 “US”呢? 6你也一定对一门语言独特的疯狂感到诧异。在这门语言中,当一座房子 “被烧毁”(burns down)时它就“烧毁”(burn up)了;你通过“填写它”(filling it out)的方式“填写表格”(fill in a form);闹钟只有在它响起(goes off)时才被听到! 7英语是由人而不是电脑发明的,它反映了人类的创造力。那就是为什么 星星出来(out)时,它们可以被看到(visible),但是当灯熄灭(out)后,它们不能被 看到(invisible)。这也是为什么当我给手表上(紧)发条(wind up)时,它开始走,但 是当我结束(wind up)这篇文章时,它就到结尾了。
