1．I wonder if it’s because I haven’t been able to be outdoors for so long that I’ve grown so crazy about everything to do with nature. [句式分析]

本句是一个主从复合句。句中包含一个由if引导的宾语从句，在从句中又包含一个强调句，用来强调由because引导的原因状语从句，此时because不能用since或as代替。

[尝试翻译]

我不知道这是不是因为我长久无法出门的缘故，我变得对一切与大自然有关的事物都无比狂热。

2．It’s no pleasure looking through these any longer because nature is one thing that really must be experienced. [句式分析]

本句为复合句。it为形式主语，looking through these是真正的主语；because引导原因状语从句；that引导定语从句，修饰先行词one thing。

[尝试翻译]

观看这些已经不再是乐趣，因为大自然是你必须亲身体验的。

1．When he/she borrowed it last time，he/she broke it and you had to pay to get it repaired.(教材P1) 上次他/她借的时候弄坏了它，你只好(自己)花钱把它修好。

(1)本句中get it repaired是“get＋宾语＋宾语补足语”结构。此处get为使役动词，表示“使；促使”，repaired是过去分词，作宾语it的补足语，与it是逻辑上的动宾关系。get sth done相当于have sth done，意为“使某事被做”。

(2)状语从句的省略：while，when，until，if，unless，though等引导的状语从句，如果其主语和主句中的主语一致或从句的主语为it且谓语含有be动词时，从句中的主语和be动词可以省略。

(1)I wonder if/whether...“我想知道是否……”，此句型中if或whether引导的是宾语从句，该句型多用于口语中，表示有礼貌地询问某事或请求帮助。it’s...that...是强调句结构，because引导的句子是被强调的部分；to do with nature作后置定语，修饰everything。

(2)强调句的结构为“It is/was＋被强调成分＋that/who＋其他成分”。强调句型可以用来强调除谓语以外的各种成分。

我在街上遇见的是玛丽。

④It was in the street that I met Mary.(强调地点状语) 我是在街上遇见玛丽的。

[名师点津] (1)判断句子是否为强调句型的方法：去掉it is/was与that/who，剩余部分若结构完整、句意明确，则为强调句型，否则不是。

(2)被强调部分可以是除谓语动词以外的任何成分，当被强调部分是人时，可用who代替that，其他情况一般用that。

4．...it was the first time in a year and a half that I’d seen the night face to face...(教材P2) ……这是我一年半以来第一次目睹夜晚……

“It is/was＋the＋序数词＋time＋that...”是常用句型，意为“这是第……次……”，后面常用完成时态，即前面为is时，后面常用现在完成时；前面为was时，后面常用过去完成时。该句型中的it也可换成this或that。

①It is the first time that I have__seen (see) such a big watermelon. 这是我第一次见到这么大的一个西瓜。

②It was the second time that I had__been (be) to Europe.这是我第二次去欧洲。

When my daughter Sara was in the fifth grade, she came to me with a problem.“Marcy hates me！”

she cried.“Because Kathy is my friend, too.She wants me to be her friend and nobody else’s.You talk to Marcy.You tell her that I want to be her friend, but I can have other friends, too！”

Oh! I looked at her for a few moments, wondering how I got into this mess(困境), when suddenly an idea came to me. Picking up two baskets from the living room, I explained, “When everyone is born, he or she has a little basket.This little one here is yours.The big one is mine.As you grow, so does the basket.You can see your little basket is inside mine because when you were born, there were too many things you couldn’t do for yourself.I did everything you couldn’t do on your own.”

She nodded. “Well, as you grew older and began to do some things on your own, I began placing a few more things in your basket.When you learned to tie your shoes, that went in your basket.”

She said softly, “I can tie my own shoes.”

“Right.As you grow older, there will be more and more things you must do on

your own.”

As I spoke, I gradually took her basket out of mine and handed it to her.“You will finally carry your own basket with things only you can do.”

She looked up at me and said, “I understand.There are some things that I have to do for myself because they are in my basket.”
