1. Come on, Eddie.

这里come on是语气词，表示知道某人所说的话不正确，意思是“得了吧”。come on 还可以用于催促别人，意思是“快点，加油”。如：

Come on, Joan, or we are going to be late.

琼，快点儿！要不然我们就迟到了。

2. Fish sleep with their eyes open.

这里“with+名词+形容词/介词短语”在句中作状语。如：

1) 他喜欢开着窗睡觉。

2) 李老师手里拿着一本书进教室。

3. The Sun is about 1,300,000 times larger than the Earth.

注意：这里提及“太阳”、“地球”时，用的是the Sun、the Earth。我们再谈论天文学的各星球时，星球名称首字母均大写。平时提及“太阳”、“地球”时，则无需大写。如：

The earth revolves around the sun.

地球绕着太阳转。

4. …nose and ears never stop growing.

stop doing表示停止正在做的事情(只涉及到一个事件), stop to do 则表示停止正在做的事情再去做另外一件事情(涉及到两个事件)。如：

下课了。让我们停下来去吃午饭吧。

别哭了，我给你讲个笑话吧。
