「的」。 of + importance = important; of + beauty = beautiful of + the same age = 同年齡的 所以They are(他們是) of the same age(同年齡的). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (3) donkey’s years是什麼意思？ A. donkey’s years的意思是很長的時間。因為year’s 與 ears 是諧音，另外donkey有長耳朵 (long ears)，所以donkey’s ears即成了long years故有此口語。 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (4) I think that…中that 的詞性如何? A. that 的詞性是連接詞。 that有下列功能： 1. 連接詞或稱名詞子句的符號(the sign of noun clause) ----I know that he is a student. 2. 關係代名詞----The student that sat next to Mr. Wu is my classmate. 3. 指示形容詞----Who is that man? 4. 指示代名詞----That is my book. 5. 副詞----I can’t speak English that well.(那樣地好) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (5) 句子中間的 because 前到底有沒有逗號？ A. 可有，也可沒有 可沒有：She did not come because she was too busy.

You bet 是說 “yes”的加強說法 (You say “you bet” as an emphatic way of saying “yes”); ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (10) 何時要將句首的動詞加ing? Ex. 1. Taking exercise
is good to health. 2. Receiving praise and compliments sometimes makes people

you? 句子the hell是「他X的」嗎？ A. hell 是咒罵語：「他X的」，「畜生」。例如：Hell!=Oh, hell.該死！ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (12) 古蹟是historic或是historical sites A. 古蹟是historic

international condemnation of that country’s controversial human rights record failed. to whip up(搧動) international condemnation of that country’s controversial human rights record是不定詞作修飭語用，來說明什麼樣的「努力」，即本句的「肉」。 句子的長短與英文程度及練習有關，例如： He is a
diligent student. He is a intelligent, diligent, and respectful student whom every teacher likes. He is a intelligent, diligent, and respectful student whom almost every teacher likes. 又例如考試時，要達到規定字數，可化簡為繁： He is energetic although he is seventy. He is energetic although he is seventy years old. He is energetic although he is seventy years of age He is energetic in spite of the fact that he is seventy years of age. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (14) 什麼是獨立分詞片語？ A.獨立分詞片語 (absolute
