“毕业于……”；“从……毕业”

句中where引导的为非限制性定语从句，

out of tune走调Secondly, classical Chinese music is closely connected to Chinese poetry, so it isn’t surprising that most classical pieces have very poetic titles. 其次，中国古典乐与中国诗歌关系很密切，因此很多古典音乐作品都有着很诗意的标题就一点也不奇怪了。

Listeners can experience the power and the beauty of the music, like enjoying a beautiful poem or painting.（Part2 para3）听众可以自己感受音乐的力量、音乐的美，就像享受一首美妙的诗歌或一幅美丽的图画一样。

句中experience作动词用，意为“体验”等；like为介词，意为“像……一样”。

experience的基本用法如下：

1)

vt. “经历”、“体验”She experienced many things when she went to Africa. 2)

n. (u.) “经验”，为不可数名词。

E.g. Our history teacher has a lot of teaching experience. He hasn’t much experience in teaching English.

短语：lack of experience (缺乏经验); practical experience (实践经验). 3)

n. “经历”、“感受”、“往事”，为可数名词。

E.g. I had many interesting experiences when I stayed in London.（经历、往事）

Please tell us of your experiences in Africa.(你在非洲的经历). I also enjoy the time immediately after the concert to share the feelings and ideas with friends and music lovers, listening to their impressions and understanding about the music. （Part3 para1）

我同样喜欢音乐会后和朋友及音乐爱好者分享感受交流看法，听他们谈对我的音乐的感觉和理解。

句中share (vt.)意为“共有”、“共享”、“分担”、“共用”。

(1) May I share your umbrella? (2) I will share your joys and sorrows.

(3)They share the same tastes and interests.

另外，share sth. with sb. 意为“和某人分享/担某事”。

Liu Fang always shares the feelings and ideas with friends and music lovers. Since I moved to Canada, I have had opportunities to make contact with

other musical traditions and play with master musicians. 自从移居加拿大，我就有机会接触到其它音乐传统并跟一些音乐大师同台演出。

句中contact为名词“联系”，其相关短语为：

make contact with/ get in contact with“与……取得联系”（表示动作）

lose contact with“与……失去联系”（表示动作）

be/stay in contact with “与……保持联系”（表示状态）

I wish to continue working with master musicians from other traditions and to be able to compose my own music, using elements from different cultures. 我希望我能继续跟他们合作，并吸取其他音乐传统之长，创作自己的音乐。

II. The basic usage of the Present Perfect Progressive Tense. 1.

表示从过去开始一直持续到现在的动作，这个动作是否继续下去，则由上下文决定。它常与表示一段时间的状语，如：all this time, this week, this month, all night, all the morning, these few days, for…, since…等连用。E.g. (1) Liu Fang has been living in Canada since then. 刘芳从那时以来一直住在加拿大。（动作仍继续下去）

(2) I have been waiting for you here for an hour. 我在这儿等了你一个小时。（动作刚终止）

(2)Have you met her lately? 你最近跟她见过面了吗？（没有“经常相会”之意）

3.

表示暂时性动作用现在完成进行时较好，而表示表示长时期的接近于状态的动作时，用现在完成时较好。

E.g. (1) He has been staying with his uncle during the past two months. 最近两个月他和他叔叔在一起（暂时性动作）

(2) I have been waiting all the morning. 早晨我一直在等（暂时性动作）

(3) I have lived here all my life. 我一辈子一直住这儿。（长时期的接近于状态的动作）
