LanguageandCultureTips1.Thereispressuretogetgoodgrades,cooperatewithnewpeople,andmanagethemuchfreedomthataccompaniescollegelife.【Translation】（学生）面临着各种压力，如拿高分，与陌生人合作，以及合理利用大学生活中的诸多自由时间。【Language

Tips】thataccompaniescollegelife是关系代词that引导的限制性定语从句，用于修饰和限定名词freedom。相当于freedomaccompaniescollegelife。

大多数定语从句都是对所修饰词的意思加以限制，表示“……的人（或东西）”。

Themanwhorobbedherhasfinallybeenarrested.抢劫她的人最终被逮捕了。

ThisisthecitywhereIwasborn.这是我出生的城市。2.Parties,drinking,eating-out,andhard-working,allhelppassthetime,butdeepdownthere’saplacestudentsarereallyeagertothrowthemselvesinto,whichistheworldofcollegesocietiesandthehugerangeofextracurricularactivities.【Translation】参加派对、喝酒、在外聚餐以及努力工作都可以帮助消磨时间，但实际上有类活动是学生们特别想参与的，那就是各类的学生社团和丰富多彩的课外活动。LanguageandCultureTips【Language

Tips】whichistheworldofcollegesocietiesandthehugerangeofextracurricularactivities是非限制性定语从句补充说明前面的名词world。与限制性定语从句不同，非限制定语从句对所限制的名词没有限制词义的作用，而只是补充一些说明，通常都有一个逗号把它与句子的其他部分隔开，在译成中文的时，非限制性定语从句多译为一个并列句。

ThisisProfessorZhang,whoseclassyouwillbetaking.

这是张教授，你将接手他的班。3.Speakingofthis,youwillnotmiss

aChinesegirlwhosenameisChengZhu.WhileshewaspursuingherdoctoraldegreeinHarvardUniversity,shewaselectedasthepresidentoftheHarvardGraduateCouncil,thestudentgovernmentfortheuniversity’s11graduateschools.【Translation】谈到这，你一定听说过一个名叫朱成的中国女孩，在哈佛大学攻读博士学位的她被选为哈佛大学研究生院学生会主席，哈佛大学研究生院学生会管辖哈佛大学11个研究生学院。LanguageandCultureTips【LanguageTips】speakingofthis是现在分词作状语。一般而言，现在分词表示句子主语的动作，但作句子状语时，情况则不一样。这类状语也可称为独立成份。如：

Strictlyspeaking,thatschoolisnotverygood.严格地说，那所学校并不是很好。

whosenameisChengZhu是关系代词whose所引导的限制性定语从句修饰前面的名词Chinesegirl。谓语动词miss后面实际上跟着由that引导的宾语从句（that被省略）youwillnotmiss(that)aChinesegirl…。有大量的动词可以跟由that引导的宾语从句（有时that可以省略），一般而言这些动词都是及物动词。

Iknow(that)sheisapplyingfortheposition.我知道她正在申请那个职位。 在该句中，miss的意思是failtohearthat（没有听说过）【CultureTips】朱成，宁波人。2001年毕业于北京大学本科，同年获得哈佛大学教育研究生学院全额奖学金。2003年再次获得哈佛大学教育研究生学院全额奖学金，继续攻读博士学位。2006年，她当选2006—2007届哈佛研究生院学生会总会主席，成为哈佛研究生院首位中国籍学生会总会主席。4.Iadoptedanopenmindandopenheartattitude,whichiswhyIwasabletoadapttoanewenvironment.【Translation】我采取了一种开放包容的心态，这也是我为何能够适应新环境的原因。【LanguageTips】whichiswhyIwasabletoadapttoanewenvironment是which引导的非限制性定语从句。而whyIwasabletoadapttoanewenvironment是连接副词why引导的表语从句。

ThatisnotwhatImeant.这不是我的意思。

Thequestionishowtodoit.问题是如何去做这件事。LanguageandCultureTipsadopt

1)vt.

收养，过继Shehasadoptedachild.她收养了一个小孩。2)vt.

采取；采纳；采用Themanageradoptedhissuggestion.经理采纳了他的建议。adapt1)

vt.tomakefitforaspecificsituation使适应Adaptyourselftocitylife.使你自己适应城市的生活。2)vi.(~to)tobecomeadaptedHequicklyadaptedtothenewclimatethere.他很快适应了那儿的气候。5.Also,usingagrantfromtheprovost’soffice,shewasorganizingadayofpublicserviceforstudentstopaintschoolsandcleanparks.【Translation】同时，利用教务办公室拨发的一笔经费，她组织学生参与公益活动日，给校舍刷油漆和清扫公园。【Language

Tips】usingagrantfromtheprovost’soffice是现在分词短语作方式状语，与作伴随状语的情形较接近。作方式状语的现在分词可以转换成bydoingsth.的结构。LanguageandCultureTips

“usingagrantfromtheprovost’soffice”=“byusingagrantfromtheprovost’soffice”。

Heearnsalivingdrivingatruck.=Heearnsalivingbydrivingatruck.他靠开卡车谋生。6.Manycollegesalsohavestudentspiritorganizationstoattendsportingeventsandapplaudthehometeam.【Translation】很多大学让学生助威团去参加体育赛事为主队加油助威。LanguageandCultureTips【LanguageTips】havesb.todosth.让某人做某事，如果是上级对下级常用这种表达法，而日常生活中更常用havesb.doingsth. OuruniversityhasMiketorepresentourcollegetoparticipateinthematch.

我们大学让麦克代表我们学校去参加比赛。

havesb.dosth.使某人做某事

I’llhavesomeonerepairthebikeforyou.

我会让人为你修理自行车的。7.Agroupofenergeticandyouthfuluniversitygirls,dancingandhailingaroundtheplaygroundtocheerfortheirsportsteam,areeye-catchingandbringjoytotheaudience.【Translation】一群精力充沛的年轻女大学生，在运动场上欢呼雀跃，为她们的运动队加油，她们引人注目，且给观众带来了欢乐。【LanguageTips】dancingandhailingaroundtheplaygroundtocheerfortheirsportsteam是现在分词短语作状语表示补充说明，相当于一个定语从句whoaredancingandhailing…。LanguageandCultureTips8.Inthe“BringingCulture/ScienceandTechnology/HygienicHealthtotheCountryside”program,theChineseAssociationofYoungVolunteershascarriedoutmanyformsofeffectivevoluntaryservicesfocusingonthebasicneedsofpeople’slivelihood,suchaspovertyelimination,younggenerationeducation,communityconstruction,andenvironmentalprotection.【Translation】在“三下乡”活动中，中国青年志愿者协会开展了形式多样、成效显著的志愿服务活动，主要围绕人们生计的基本需要，如扶贫、青年一代的教育、社区建设和环境保护等。LanguageandCultureTips【Language

Tips】focusingonthebasicneedsofpeople’slivelihood是现在分词短语作状语表示补充说明，其作用相当于一个定语从句。9.Whateveryouchooseitwillgiveyougoodexperiences,whichyoucanuseonyourresume.【Translation】不论你选择什么，都会有不错的经历，这些你都可以写在你的简历上。【Language

Tips】which
