老师新年好!
这是新定义3-27课,有几个疑问请教老师:
Thereare times when we would willingly give everything we possess to save our lives,yet we might grudge paying a surgeon a high fee for offering us precisely thisservice.
Theconditions of society are such that skills have to be paid for in the same waythat goods are paid for at a shop. Everyone has something to sell.
...He may hunt, beg, or steal occasionally to keep himself alive; he may even, intimes of real need, do a little work; but he will never sacrifice his freedom.
Weoften speak of tramps with contempt and put them in the same class as beggars,but how many of us can honestly say that we have not felt a little envious oftheir simple way of life and their freedom from care?
1)There are times when...这里的times复数是表示次数还是时间?若是时间,为何可以用复数呢+when定语从句呢?同样in times of real need - 这里的times也是同样的疑问?
2)are such that...这里的such that 使用方法有疑惑?这是什么使用方法含义呢?书上说这里的that引导such的同位语,对吗?
3)in the same way that,是不是也直接等于= the sameway = as 呢? how many of us can...感觉这里的can表示能力或可能性都可以?

解答:这里的“times”不是表示次数,而是指历史上某个特定时期;年代或者日常某个特定时期/时间。是可数名词. There are times when 引导定语从句
There are times when I sit down and have a good weep.有时我会坐下来痛痛快快地哭一场。
There are times when personal feelings cannot be allowed to intrude.有的时候是不允许夹杂个人感情的。
There are times when the book suffers from excessive authorial control.该书曾几次遭到作者过多的制约。
They were hard times and his parents had been struggling to raise their family.那是段艰苦时期,他爸爸妈妈一直艰辛地养家糊口。
We'll be alone together, quite like old times. 大家会单独在一块,就像过去那样。
are such that...这里的such that 使用方法有疑惑?这是什么使用方法含义呢?书上说这里的that引导such 的同位语,对吗?
解答:such that引导结果状语从句,意思“这样...以至于”

His behavior was such that everyone disliked him. 他的行为使得每人都讨厌他.
His behavior was such that we all refused to receive him in our homes.他的品行是这样的坏,大家都拒绝在家招待他.
in the same way that,是不是也直接等于= the same way = as 呢? how many of us can...感觉这里的can表示能力或可能性都可以?
解答:in the way way that 是介词短语作方法状语,可以理解为“the same way that=the same way”how many of us 中的情态动词can不表示能力。表示客观的可能性。
