LESSON 35 S THIEF
    1.A short while ago, however, he became a bus driver and be has not regretted it.然而就在前不久,他開上了公共汽車,也并不為此而感到后悔。
    while作名詞表示“一會兒”、“(一段)時間”時常與a連用,有時也與the,this等連用:
    They haven't seen each other for a long while.
    他們有很長時間沒見面了。
    Have you been in Australia all this while?
    這段時間你一直在澳大利亞嗎?
    I saw her a short while ago.
    我剛才還見到她了。
    2.far more exciting,令人興奮得多。
    在形容詞和副詞的比較級與級前面,可以用far(相當于much)來表示強調:
    It's for/ much colder today than it was yesterday.
    今天比昨天要冷得多。
    Houses are far/ much more expensive these days.
    如今的房價貴多了。
    This is(by) far the most expensive bicycle in the shop.
    這是這家商店里最貴的自行車。(比其他的要貴好多)
    3.see和其他一些感知動詞(如 feel, hear,notice, smell, watch 等)可以用在動詞+名詞或代詞賓語+不帶to的不定式結構中;
    I saw him climb through the window.
    我看見他爬進窗戶。
    這些動詞的賓語相當于不定式的主語,上句即:
    I saw that he climbed through the window.
    4.such(a)+名詞+ that與 so+形容詞+ that一樣,后面引導的是結果狀語從句,通常譯為“如此……以致……”:
    They are such wonderful players that they will surely win the game.
    他們都是如此出色的運動員,所以肯定能在這場比賽中獲勝。
    5.such與so
    such和so都可以用于表示程度,但so 只能作副詞和連詞,such則是形容詞,因此so通常位于形容詞、副詞之前,而such只能位于名詞之前:
    引導結果狀語從句時,它們的結構分別為“such+(a)+名詞+that”和“so+ 形容詞+that”:
    It was such a cold evening that no one went out.
    那天晚上太冷了,所以誰也沒有出門。
    It was so cold that no one went out.
    天太冷了,所以誰也沒有出門。
    such 除了表示“這樣的”、“如此的”等意思外,還可以表示“像這一類的”, so則不能表示后一種意思:
    He often talks about such things.
    他經常談論這類事。
