定语从句的引导词that/which在句中作成份(主语或宾语),而同位语从句的引导词that 为连接词,只起连接主句与从句的作用,不做任何成分。

eg. I was shocked when I heard the news that his father died yesterday.

(The news is that his father died yesterday.)

能连接同位语从句的名词有:belief,fact, idea, doubt, rumor, evidence, conclusion, information, suggestion, problem, order, discover, opinion

●However 语篇标识词(即显示语篇发展的词语)。引出作者真正意图,表明事实真相,往

Lesson 17: The longest suspension bridge in the world Listen to the tape then answer the question below.How is the bridge supported? Verrazano, an Italian about whom little is known, sailed into New York Harbour in 1524 and named it Angouleme. He described it as(describe sth as 把…描绘成,认为=regard as)a very agreeable situation located within two small hills in the midst of which flowed a great river(located…是过去分词短语作定语,修饰situation;in the midst of which引导一个定语从句,which指two small hills。in the midst of在……之中,四个方向;in the middle of两者之间,两个方向).

The Verrazano Bridge, which was designed by Othmar Ammann, joins Brooklyn to Staten Island. It has a span of(跨度,桥长) 4,260 feet. The bridge is so long that the shape of the earth had to be taken into account(take sth into account=take account of=take sth into consideration 考虑到) by its designer. Two great towers support(hold up支撑) four huge cables. The towers are built on immense underwater platforms make of steel and concrete. The platforms extend to a depth of over 100 feet under the sea. These alone took sixteen months to build. Above the surface of the water, the towers rise to(上升到)a height of nearly 700 feet. They support the cables from which the bridge has been suspended. Each of the four cables contains 26,108 lengths of wire. It has been estimated(据估计) that if the bridge were(虚拟语气) packed with(挤满,装满) cars, it would still only be carrying a third of its total capacity. However, size and strength are not the only important things about this bridge. Despite (in spite of) its immensity, it is both simple and elegant, fulfilling(分词做状语表结果)its designer's dream to create an enormous object drawn as faintly as possible.

新概念第二册原文大全 Lesson 1 A private conversation私人谈话 Last week I went to the theatre. I had a very good seat. The play was very interesting. I did not enjoy it. A young man and a young woman were sitting behind me. They were talking loudly. I got very angry. I could not hear the actors. I turned round. I looked at the man and the woman angrily. They did not pay any attention. In the end, I could not bear it. I turned round again. 'I can't hear a word!' I said angrily. ' It's none of your business,' the young man said rudely. 'This is a private conversation!'. Lesson 2 Breakfast or lunch? 早餐还是午餐? It was Sunday. I never get up early on Sundays. I sometimes stay in bed until lunch time. Last Sunday I got up very late. I looked out of the window. It was dark outside. 'What a day!' I thought. 'It's raining again.' Just then, the telephone rang. It was my aunt Lucy.' I've just arrived by train,' she said. 'I'm coming to see you.' 'But I'm still having breakfast,' I said. 'What are you doing ?' she asked. ' I'm having breakfast,' I repeated. 'Dear me,' she said. 'Do you always get up so late ? It's one o'clock! Lesson 3 Please send me a card 请给我寄一张明信片 Postcards always spoil my holidays. Last summer, I went to Italy. I visited museums and sat in public gardens. A friendly waiter taught me a few words of Italian. 'Then he lent me a book. I read a few lines, but I did not understand a word. Every day I thought about postcards. My holidays passed quickly, but I did not send any cards to my friends. On the last day I made a big decision. I got up early and bought thirty-seven cards. I spent the whole day in my room, but I did not write a single card ! Lesson 4 An exciting trip激动人心的旅行 I have just received a letter from my brother, Tim. He is in Australia. He has been there for six months. Tim is an engineer. He is working for a big firm and he has already visited a great number of different places in Australia. He has just bought an Australian car and has gone to Alice Springs, a small town in the centre of Australia. He will soon visit Darwin. From there, he will fly to Perth. My brother has never been abroad before, so he is finding this trip very exciting. Lesson 5 No wrong numbers 无错号之虞 Mr James Scott has a garage in Silbury and now he has just bought another garage in Pinhurst. Pinhurst is only five miles from Silbury, but Mr Scott cannot get a telephone for his new garage, so he has just bought twelve pigeons. Yesterday, a pigeon carried the first message from Pinhurst to Silbury. The bird covered the distance in three minutes. Up to now, Mr Scott has sent a great many requests for spare parts and other urgent messages from one garage to the other. In this way, he has begun his own private telephone service.
