The captain commanded his men to leave the ship immediately.注：suggest, propose; advise demand, request, require , desire , urge; recommend，insist 等动词一样,跟在 command后面的 that 从句中要用虚拟语气，谓语用“should+原形动词”或直接加原形动词，而不管从句中的人称或时态。 22) hold back: prevent the expression of (feelings, tears, etc.)/ make sb. or sth. stop moving forward/prevent the development ofe.gJohnny cried bitterly in the classroom, not even attempting to hold back the tears.The men built banks of earth to hold back the rising flood water.You could become a good musician, but your lack of practice is holding you back.23) career; a job or profession for which one is trained and which one intends to follow for the whole of ones lifee.g My farmer parents have never expected me to make novel writing my career.S: 我祖父教了一辈子书，教书是他所干过的唯一的工作。My grandfather was a career teacher; its the only job hed ever done.Phrases: carve (out) a career for oneself闯出一番事业；谋求发迹make a career在事业上有所成就7.
