Christmas.ChristmasCelebrationsAroundtheWorldLanguagePointsItwouldbewrongtoassumethatChristmasisonlycelebratedamongtheChristians.(para1).

Analysis:在這句話中it做了形式主語,真正的主語為后面的不定時(shí)短語:toassumethat.it作為形式主語常用在:itis+adj+forsbtodosth結(jié)構(gòu)中.Translation:如果認(rèn)為圣誕節(jié)只有基督徒們慶祝那就錯(cuò)了.Example:Itispossibleforustofinishalltheworkinaday.ChristmasCelebrationsAroundtheWorld2.

(Para.1)Analysis:

這是個(gè)復(fù)合句。While

引導(dǎo)的是讓步狀語從句.spreadingoveraweek是現(xiàn)在

分詞短語作定語修飾

afestiveseason.Translation:雖然我們大多數(shù)人把它作為持續(xù)一周的節(jié)日來慶祝，有些人則從11月26日

以后的那個(gè)周日就開始過節(jié)，節(jié)日長達(dá)一個(gè)月左右，要到1月6日才結(jié)束。Example:WhilemostpeoplecelebratetheSpringFestivalasafestivetimespreadingoveraweek,forsomeitisamonthlongfestivalthatstartsfromthe8thofthefirstlunarmonthandendsonthe15thofthesecondlunarmonth.ChristmasCelebrationsAroundtheWorld3.Thisisbecauseonly10%ofthepopulationareChristiansandthemajorityofpeopleareMuslim.(Para.2)Analysis:

population作主語時(shí)，謂語動(dòng)詞一般用單數(shù)；當(dāng)population前邊有

分?jǐn)?shù)或百分?jǐn)?shù)時(shí)，謂語動(dòng)詞用復(fù)數(shù)。Meaning：這是因?yàn)橹挥?0%的人口是基督徒，大部分人是穆斯林。Example：Almostonethirdofthepopulationhereareilliterate.ChristmasCelebrationsAroundtheWorld4.Theymayalsoorganizeparties,wherebeer,wineandsometimeschampagneisserved.(para.5)Analysis:關(guān)系副詞where在句中引導(dǎo)非限制性定語從句，相當(dāng)于atwhich;它只

是對(duì)所修飾的詞parties作進(jìn)一步的說明。非限制性定語從句非限制性定語從句是先行詞的附加說明，去掉之后并不影響整個(gè)句子的含義。它與

主句之間通常用逗號(hào)隔開，將放在句中，其前后都需要用逗號(hào)隔開。類

似的連接詞還有when、why。Meaning：他們還可能舉辦晚會(huì),晚會(huì)上提供啤酒、葡萄酒,有時(shí)還有香檳。Example：Childhoodisavaluableperiodinone'slife,whenapersonenjoysthepuresthappiness.

(para.6)Analysis:

though通常是一個(gè)連詞，用于句首引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句。在這里，它用在主句的末

尾，它作為副詞，起讓步的作用，意為“但是”“不過”。Meaning：但從沒有人在家里見過圣誕老人,因?yàn)橹挥挟?dāng)每個(gè)人熟睡之后他才會(huì)到來。Example：Tellherthefact.Itmightbeunpleasant,though.ChristmasCelebrationsAroundtheWorldImportantwords1.assumev.taketobethecaseortobetrue;acceptwithoutverificationorproof設(shè)想e.g.Youcan'tsimplyassumethathewillbelateagain.Heassumesthesituationtobeoutofcontrolwithouthim.ChristmasCelebrationsAroundtheWorld2.festivea.offeringfunandgaiety歡快的，節(jié)日的
