Very early in the morning
Kathy: [Shaking Dan and Morley awake] Both of you wake up. We have to go.
Dan: Mmm. I'm still sleeping. What is it?
Kathy: We have to see the sunrise at Taimali.
Dan: Can't we do that another day? I'm dead-tired.
Kathy: When are we going to have this chance again? Come on! Get up!
Dan: OK, OK. Hold your horses. I'm up.
Kathy: This is the best place to see a sunrise in Taiwan. Even better than Alishan!

阿丹:嗯。我还要睡。干嘛?
卡西:我们得去太麻里看日出。
阿丹:我们不能改天去吗?我累毙了。
卡西:我们何时会再有这种机会?来嘛!起床!
阿丹:好,好。别急嘛。我起来了。

  <播放语音>

One of the most successful, influential and beloved women in American history, Eleanor Roosevelt once said that she had one regret: she wished she had been prettier. Who hasn't felt the same way? We are all too aware of our physical imperfections. To overcome them, we spend billions upon billions of dollars every year-on cosmetics, diet products, fashion, and plastic surgery.

身为美国史上最成功、最有影响力且最受人喜爱的女性之一的罗斯福夫人曾说她有一个遗憾:她希望自己长得更漂亮。谁没有过同样的想法呢?我们都强烈感觉到自己身体的缺陷。为了克服缺陷,我们每年都要花费几十亿美元——在化妆品、减肥食品、流行时尚与整容手术上。

关系代词

 1) 关系代词用来引导定语从句。它代表先行词,同时在从句中作一定的句子成分,例如:The girl to whom I spoke is my cousin. 跟我讲话的姑娘是我表妹。(该句中whom既代表先行词the girl,又在从句中作介词to的宾语。)


 2) 关系代词有主格,宾格和属格之分,并有指人与指物之分。在限定性定语从句中,that 可指人也可指物,见表:
      限定性   非限定性    限定性
      指 人   指  物   指人或指物
主 格   who    which     that
宾 格   whom    that     that
属 格   whose  of which/whose  of which/whose


 例如:
  This is the pencil whose point is broken.
   这就是那个折了尖的铅笔。
  (whose 指物,在限定性定语从句中作定语)
 
  He came back for the book which he had forgotten. 他回来取他丢下的书。
 (which指物,在限定性定语从句中作宾语,可以省略)


 3) 关系代词which的先行词可以是一个句子,例如:
  He said he saw me there, which was a lie.
  他说在那儿看到了我,纯属谎言。


 说明:关系代词that在从句中作宾语或表语时可省略, 例如:
  I've forgotten much of the Latin I once knew. 
   我过去懂拉丁语,现在大都忘了。
  He's changed. He's not the man he was.
   他变化很大,已不是过去的他了。
