Answers: FTTTF Language points: 1 I was getting more and more annoyed and of course, the more upset I got, the less I was able to concentrate.我越来越烦躁，当然了，我越不高兴，就越难集中精力。

More and more 越来越…。

e.g. He became more and more interested in playing tennis.

他越来越喜欢打网球。

2. I turned around and glared at the person who was singing. 我转身怒视着那个哼唱的人。

glare at 怒视。

e.g. The fighting men were glaring at each other. 两个打斗的男人愤怒地对视着。

The angry father glared at his son. 愤怒的父亲瞪着儿子。

3. The fact that she looked like a sensitive, friendly girl didn’t matter. If anything, it made me even angrier.她看起来是个善解人意的友善的女孩，而这平添了我几分怒气。

句中that 所引导的是一个同位语从句。紧跟在名词之后并说明该名词是指何人何物的词语称为同位语。

e.g. Mr Wang, the father of one of my co-workers, is 94 years old and is still healthy.

王先生，我同事的父亲，今年94岁了还很健康。

句中的the father of one of my co-workers, 是Mr Wang 的同位语。

同位语从句与定语从句在结构上很相似，但同位语从句是用来解释先行词，表示其内容的；而定语从句则是用来修饰先行词，说明其性质和特征的。

e.g. I made a promise that if anyone set me free I would make him very rich.

我许下一个诺言：谁能还我自由，我就使他富有。（同位语从句）

The mother made a promise that pleased all her children.母亲许了一个使孩子们全都非常高兴的诺言。（定语从句）

if anything 如果有什么不同的话。如：

If anything, my new job is harder than my older one.如果有什么不同的话，我的新工作比原先的工作更累了。

No, it isn’t better; it’s worse if anything.没有好起来，如果有什么不同的话，那就是更糟糕了。

4．I couldn’t help laughing at this and I invited her back to my apartment for a quick cup of tea.我止不住轻声发笑，并邀请她到我的公寓里来喝杯茶。

can’t help doing 禁不住要做某事。

e.g. Look at those lovely dresses. I can’t help buying one.看看这些漂亮的裙子！我真忍不住要买一件。

5. If Jenny hadn’t been a kind person who was willing to forgive my shortcomings,

I would never have experienced such true friendship.珍妮要不是如此体贴，如此宽容，我就永远不会享受到如此真挚的友谊。

本句中使用了虚拟语气。虚拟语气表示的事情并非事实，因此需要使用与陈述语气不同的动词形式。在表示现在或未来的虚拟条件句中，谓语如下（斜体部分）：

1)表示现在或未来的虚拟形式。

e.g. If I were you, I would teach him a good lesson. 我若是你，我就要好好教训他一顿。（我不可能是你。）

2)表示过去的虚拟形式。

e.g. If the weather had been nice yesterday, we would have gone for the picnic.

如果昨天天气好的话，我们就去野餐了。（事实是昨天天气很坏。）
