21. When I was young we wore almost the same clothes.

   当我小的时候,我们几乎都穿着相同的衣服。

   (1)almost是副词,意为“差不多,几乎”。almost 和nearly是同义词,在许多情况下,这两个词没有多少差别。一般来说,almost所表示的意思比nearly更加接近一些。因此,在十二点十五分的时候,我们可以说:It’s nearly lunch time;在十二点二十七分时,可以说It’s almost lunch time. 例如:

   We’re nearly there.

   我们快到了。

   We’re almost there.

   我们马上就要到了。

   I nearly fell off my bike.

   我几乎从自行车上摔下来。

   I almost fell off my bike.

   我差一点从自行车上摔下来。

   (2)如果句子谈的不是向某个目标发展的趋势,也不是易于衡量的东西,在这种情况下,不能用nearly,而要用almost。例如:

   Our cat understands everything-he’s almost human.

   我们这只猫什么都懂--他快通人性了。

   I almost think you are right.

   我还不完全相信你是对的。

   My aunt almost sounds foreign.

   我姑姑说话简直像外国人。

   (3)nearly不能与never, nobody, none, nothing, nowhere和no连用。这些词前要用almost或用hardly,后面就不用否定词了。

   almost never = hardly ever 几乎从不

   almost nobody = hardly anybody 几乎没有人

   almost no money = hardly any money 几乎没有钱

19. “It’s good that the young have their own ideas about life as well as about being cool. ”said Shi Kai, a teacher.

   一位名叫石凯的老师说:“年轻人对待生活和怎样酷有他们自己的想法是很好的。”

   (1)that引导的句子是主语从句,that可以省略。that从句在句首作主语时,属于正式语体,that不能省略;但是不管正式和非正式语体里,多用先行词it,把that从句后移。后移的that从句叫后移主语。移后的主语从句中的that可以省略。例如:

   It was obvious (that)the driver could not control his car.

   很显然那位司机控制不了他的车了。

   (2)as well as 如同and,or一样,起并列连词的作用。它连接的成分要互相对等,即名词与名词并列,动词与动词连用,分词与分词相并列。

   <1>as well as意为“(除了……之外)又,不但……而且……”。例如:

   He speaks Spanish as well as English and French.

   他不但会讲英语和法语,而且也会讲西班牙语。

   His children as well as his wife were invited to the party.

   不但他太太,连他的孩子们都被邀请参加了那次聚会。

   <2>A as well as B 的短语为主语时,谓语动词要随A的人称、数而变化。例如:

   Maria, as well as her brother, has gone abroad.

   玛丽亚和她弟弟都出国了。

   The teacher, as well as a number of students, was asked to attend the party.

   老师和他的数名学生被邀请去参加了晚会。

18. Other people are cool because they don’t follow what everyone else does.

   其他一些人酷是因为他们不追随其他的每个人所做的事情。

   else是副词,意为“另外的,其他”,其用法如下:

   (1)else可以用在下列词的后面:anybody, everything, somewhere和其它所有由any-,every-,some-,no-开始及由-body, - one, - thing, -where结尾的词。

   例如:Do you want anything else?

   你还需要其他的东西吗?

   We must find someone else to do the job.

   我们必须另外找人来做这项工作。

   It’s too crowded here. Let’s go somewhere else.

   这儿太挤了。咱们到别的地方去吧。

   Nothing else happened.

   没有其它的事情发生。

   (2)else的所有格形式是else’s。例如:

   I’m using my car. I think you’ll have to borrow somebody else’s car.

   我正在用我的车。我认为你得另借别人的。

   (3)else还可以用在who, what, where, how和why的后面,但不能用在which和when的后面。例如:

   Where else can I get it?

   除此之外我还能在哪里得到它?

   Who else went there?

   还有谁去了那儿呢?

   What else did she say about me?

   除此之外,她还提到什么有关我的事情呢?

   (4)else还可以和little及(not)much连用。例如:

   Little else is known of Shakespeare’s life.

   关于莎士比亚的生平,别的知道的很少了。

   There isn’t much else to do now except wait.

   现在除了等之外,再也没有别的办法了。

   (5)else和or连用,表示“否则”“不然的话”,相当于otherwise。例如:

   Get up or else you’ll be late.

   快起来,否则你就会迟到了。

   Let’s get moving, or else we’ll miss the train.

   咱们走吧,否则就赶不上火车了。
