編者點(diǎn)評(píng)
1. Original： Furthermore， transportation keeps everything going easily. Revised： Furthermore， transportation keeps everything running smoothly.
英語中沒有 “going easily” 這種說法。這里作者要表達(dá)的意思是“事情進(jìn)展的比較順利”，我們可以用 “running smoothly”。請(qǐng)看以下兩個(gè)例子：
＊ Although the car crashed just last week， the mechanic was able to fix it quickly and now it is running smoothly.
＊ Although we made some measurement mistakes in our first science experiment， our second one is running smoothly.
2. Original： Building a shopping center near where we live may have lots of existent and potential advantages. They go as follows.
Revised： Building a shopping center where we live has a lot of potential advantages， such as the following.
為了邏輯通順和語言聯(lián)貫，由such as 或者 as follows引導(dǎo)的所要列舉的一系列事情，應(yīng)當(dāng)作為整行句子的一部分，不可以分開為兩個(gè)句子。以下是幾種常用的表示列舉的結(jié)構(gòu)：
＊ After we moved into our new apartment， I had to buy many new household goods， such as the following： toilet paper， cooking utensils， cleaning supplies， etc.
＊ I am in full support of the new legislation for the following reasons.
＊ My reasons for studying abroad are as follows.
＊ My objections to your decision are listed below.
3. Original： If it is up to me to decide whether a shopping center should be built near my apartment， I prefer to build it. Revised： If it were up to me to decide whether or not to build a shopping center near my apartment， I would decide to build it.
請(qǐng)注意，在這里由if引導(dǎo)的從句要用虛擬語氣，表示與事實(shí)相反的動(dòng)作或狀態(tài)。例如：
If I were a magician， I would not need to study in order to get a perfect score on the TOEFL.
通常在“if”、“as if ”、 “as though”、 “l(fā)est”、“unless”、 “except”、“until”等等引導(dǎo)的從句中，也要用虛擬語態(tài)。例如：
If there were no honey， the flowers and the bees would have never met.
