    (1)start為名詞,表示“開始”、“開端”,from the start表示“從開始時(shí)”,副詞right起強(qiáng)調(diào)作用:

    (2)trouble在這里指“(機(jī)器等的)故障”、“問題”:
    There is (engine) trouble with my car.
    我的汽車(發(fā)動機(jī))有問題。
    (3)the Hubble代指 the Hubble telescope。由于上下文中沒有其他以 Hubble命名的東西,前面又提到過Hubble telescope,所以用 the Hubble既簡潔又不會引起誤解。
    3.NASA is now going to put the telescope right…國家航天局準(zhǔn)備糾正這一錯誤……
    put right表示“修好(故障等)”、“校正”、“糾正”等:
    Have you put the watch/clock right?

    (1)關(guān)系從句that we have ever seen修飾pictures。
    (2)由于哈勃望遠(yuǎn)鏡位于大氣層之外,它照相便不受大氣的阻擋,因此照片清晰。

    This is the longest book (that) I have ever read.
    這是我所看過的書中長的一部。

    在第37課的語法中,我們學(xué)習(xí)了將來完成時(shí)。它用于表示到將來某一時(shí)刻已經(jīng)完成的動作,必須和某個時(shí)間狀語連用:
