(3)Compared with the tradition, modernity is more dynamic. 2. ”to do” groups e.g. To spend too much time in study is sloth; to use them too much for ornaments is affectation; to make any judgment wholly by their rules is the humor of the scholar. 3. adverb Simply, amazingly, absurdly, broadly, practically and so on e.g. Intelligently applied to daily life, modern technology will surely bring benefits to the well-being of the human race. 4.介词短语，如“In pursuit of”“ in spite of ”等 e.g. In pursuit of excellence, ever pushing up the limit, life consists in the hope born of despair. 5.主语从句 e.g. What China needs is not more morals, but more prisons for politicians. 句子的变化还有 It is self-evident(adj) that.和There be 这样的句子 6.倒装 (1)将一些否定性含义的副词和短语在句首,用倒装会使句子生色不少. Never before has such a high standard been achieved. Hardly had he arrived when she started complaining. (2)为使描绘更加生动,与介词同形的副词可以移动到句首,而把主语放到谓语后面去. Following the roar, out rushed a tiger from the bushes. In came a pretty girl he had never seen before. 7.插入语 插入语可以是一个小词,也可以是一个同谓语的形式。先看一个小技巧：There is, recently, a debate among educators that通俗的讲,在老外眼里,主语与谓语离的越远,句子的档次越高，或者在插入语后面再接上一个定语从句比如Direct experience, a necessary means to recognize the world, which differs from knowledge acqui
