8. After hospitals buy the expensive equipment that is necessary for modern heart surgery, they must try to recover the money they have spent.
    本句中的equipment 是不可數(shù)名詞,不能在后面加s.equipment后面的謂語動詞也用單數(shù)形式。
    1)The modern equipment enables them to double their production.(現(xiàn)代化的設(shè)備使他們能把產(chǎn)量翻倍。)
    2)They decided to buy some new equipment.(他們決定購買新設(shè)備。)
    3)Advanced equipment is necessary for this work.(干這個活需要先進的設(shè)備。)
    還請注意,recover 在本句中的意思是get back(回收)。
    1)We must try to recover lost time.(我們必須設(shè)法彌補失去的時間。)
    2)They recovered increased costs through higher prices.(他們通過提高價格來補償上漲的成本。)
    9. In the past, people tended to think that it was sufficient for good health to have a good doctor who could be relied on to know exactly what to do when they became ill.
    That引導(dǎo)的是一個賓語從句。在這個賓語從句中,it 做形式主語,真正的主語是to have a good doctor. Who引導(dǎo)的是一個定語從句,修飾doctor.what to do 做know的賓語。這句話的意思是,“過去,人們往往認為有個可以信賴的好醫(yī)生就足以使他們有好身體,因為這個醫(yī)生知道在他們生病時究竟該做什么?!?BR>    本課主要詞組
