2.Youalsohavetowonderattheuniquemadnessofalanguageinwhichahousecanburnupasitburnsdown,inwhichyoufillinaformbyfillingitout,andinwhichanalarmisonlyheardonceitgoesoff!此句中的三个“inwhich”引导三个并列的从句,修饰先行词,在定语从句中作语,因此可以替换成关系副词。

此外,此句中的wonderat...是“”的意思。

3.Englishwasinventedbypeople,notcomputers,anditreflectsthecreativityofthehumanrace.此句中的“reflect”是“”的意思。这句话的意思是:英语是被人所创建的,不是计算机独创的,它反映了人类的创建力。另外,reflect还有“”的意思。

再如:(1)Withouttheforestcovering,theseareaswouldreflectmoreheatintotheatmosphere,warmingtherestoftheworld.此句中reflect是“”的意思。
