Language Points
• Explanation of difficult sentences
• 1.(Para.1) I am planning to study Electronic
Engineering in the United States this coming
summer if I am lucky enough to be admitted to Miami
University.
• Analysis: Lucky enough is an “adjective+enough”
structure followed by an infinitive clause indicating
the result; admitted to here means “accepted by”.
• Translation: 如果我能够幸运地被卖阿密大学录取，我打
算今年夏天去美国学电子工程。
• Example: I would compete for Mayer if I were famous
enough to be known by the whole town.
2..(Para.1) I’m embarrassed when people
lose me in the middle of a conversation or
vice versa.
 Analysis: Vice versa refers to the opposite
of what is said before. People lose me in
the middle of a conversation means do not
follow or understand me.
 Translation: 当在谈话中人们无法理解我或是听
不懂别人的话时，我决得尴尬极了。
 Example: The couple both feel awkward
when the husband starts to argue with the
wife or vice versa.
3.(Para.2) She says it is necessary to drill as much
as possible until they are fixed in my mind.
 Analysis: In the object clause it is the formal
subject indicating the actual infinitive subject to
drill. As much as possible modifies drill, and until
introduces an adverbial clause of time.
 Translation: 她说我必须尽可能多地练习，直到
它们留在我的脑海中。
 Eg. It is exciting to swing as high as possible
until you become scared.
4.(Para.3) Either the CDs or tapes have native
voices, and I can study them by listening again
and again and imitating the sounds as many
times as I wish.
 when it is used to introduce the subject of a
sentence, the verb must agree with the noun
after or.
 Translation: 无论是影碟还是录音带都有原声，
我可以一遍一遍地听；随心所欲地一遍又一遍地
模仿这些声音，学习它们。
 Eg. Either work or entertainment brings fun to
your life, and you can enjoy it by working as
hard as you can and relaxing as much as
possible.
