1. Struggling in a world of silence and darkness, I must have appeared to them to be simple. 我掙扎在一個(gè)聽不到聲音、看不見天日的世界里,對(duì)他們來說,我準(zhǔn)顯得頭腦簡(jiǎn)單。
1) world表示"世界"時(shí),通常在其前加定冠詞the;但world前面或后面有定語(yǔ)修飾時(shí),通常要用不定冠詞a。

3. When there is no one in the office, you can leave the answering machine on so that people who call you up can leave a message.辦公室沒有人的時(shí)候,你可以讓留言機(jī)開著,以便給你打電話的人可以留言。
本句中兩次出現(xiàn)了leave,第一個(gè)leave后接復(fù)合賓語(yǔ),是"使......處于(某種狀態(tài))"的意思;第二個(gè)leave是"把......交給;委托"的意思,短語(yǔ)leave sb. sth (=leave sth. to sb.)意思是"把某物(事)交給某人"。leave a message的意思是"留言"。

4. It took him some time to connect the long rubber pipe to the air supply pipe that ran round the port, but at last it was done and as a result work was able to progress much faster.他花了相當(dāng)長(zhǎng)的時(shí)間去把那根長(zhǎng)長(zhǎng)的橡皮管接到環(huán)繞港口的輸氣管上,但最后還是接好了,因此,修理工作進(jìn)展得快多了。be able to一般可與can互換使用,其區(qū)別是:
1) can沒有將來時(shí)、完成時(shí)等,這種情況下用be able to表達(dá)。
2) 表示"過去成功地做了某事"時(shí),不可用could,應(yīng)使用was (were) able to來表達(dá)。本句中的was able to就不能用could替換。
