I don’t know precisely, but I think we have about 80.
http://www.dailywritingtips.com/not-good-or-no-good/
This car is not good, but it gets me to work.
That car is no good; it doesn’t run at all.
not good和no good之別
(1) not good指「不好」，例如：
The idea is not good.此想法不好。
(2) no good指「沒用」，例如：
The idea is no good.此想法無用。
(3) no good又指「不擅長」，例如：
I'm no good with tax return.我不善於填寫稅表。
(4) 至於no good中的good，應為名詞，類似於no use中的use，例如：
It's no good trying again.再嘗試也沒用。
(5) It's no good可改為It isn't much good，語氣較緩和，例如：
It isn't much good trying again.再嘗試也沒多大用處。
(6) 另外，It's no good trying again＝There is no good in trying again.
(7) 但說There is no good trying again（少了in），就算錯誤。（A Dictionary of English Usage）

about question-1:the context is ."do you work better individually or in a team setting,why?"--my answer would be: 【you should know where the position(you apply for) tends to.】 if this's a cooperation job, you should say ,i like to work as a team,share the ideas and responsbility together. if this's a individually job(like tour guide),you should say, i prefer to work by myself,i have the ability to make decision by my own.
Ethan 16:44:33

Ethan 21:45:19
We don't use trend that way very often at all. In English we tend to use tend to more
trend is used when we're looking at a long set of data over a period of time. trend is maybe more formal
Ethan 21:46:21
tend just means something usually happens
Anslyn 22:17:49
so can i make a sentence as:this job tend more to have Leadership Traits ?<<tend to have more!
（in this sentence is not usually happens,it's too take a particular direction- my point）

i think my writhing and reading skills really need to soilder on.
Anslyn 15:53:21
teacher Ethan: here're some questions,could you help me out?TIA
1."you know where the position trends/tends to".>>>is this sentence right?
some say i can' t use trend,
but i don't know what's difference between trend and tend
2.到底怎么表達"我很糾結"
i think is "twisted" but,some told me
i 'm twisted =i'm crazy..mentally,
so if you say i'm twisted,people will think you are nuts/psycho.right?
(but i think＂ twisted＂ is the most exact word to describe what 糾結 is．)
i also think "tangled' "entangled" are ok too.
but ,i checked "tangled " and "entangled"
in my oxford advanced learner's dictionary book .there's no "entangled"this word
but i still think "entangled "can be used as a adj.
and again, i can't distinguish "tangled' and "entangled ".what's difference between them?
en- seems to be more active (my view)
confused >is not quite exact to describe,more like i don't know what to do./don't know what are you talking about (my view)
Ethan 15:57:23
1. What do you want the sentence to mean? You can use it that way but it's very uncommon, depending on the situation there may be other ways to say it
Ethan 15:57:55
2.Twisted means mentally strange. crazy. I'm twisted means I like strange things
Ethan 15:58:57
I'm tangled just means I'm caught in something else. I'm tangled in the rope means i'm caught int he rope. Not used to describe someone much. entangled means the same thing but you're right that entangled has the feeling of it being more active
Anslyn 16:01:16
twisted is not like psycho? so you would better not to say "i'm twisted" ,right? someone is twisted--it has bad meaning.or just neutral word?
Ethan 16:02:10
in terms of regular society it would be bad. some people might think it's interesting though. But generally I wouldn't use it unless you are a very open minded and very adventurous girl who likes to do crazy things a lot
Anslyn 16:03:50
okay, so i think the best word will be TANGLED/ENTANGLED then.
Ethan 16:04:27
What do you want to say exactly?
Anslyn 16:07:57
糾結 this word i think it's quite in common use. eg;i'm tangled in this question ,i can;t figure it out. //i‘m tangled. i can't decide which book i should buy,
Ethan 16:20:24
【perplexed】 might work better. I'm perplexed by this question. I'm perplexed as to which book I should buy. entangled does work but it's not used so much in this situation
Anslyn 16:25:42
i see, perplexed is so simmilar to confused.
Ethan 16:26:57
yeah, similar
Anslyn 16:27:28
i always think confused is like i'm lost.
Ethan 16:28:04
to some extent yes but can also mean unsure or perplexed depending on the situation. English is much more situational in it's word meaning and it causes problems sometimes
Anslyn 16:32:00
yea,synonym is killing me...
Anslyn 17:37:44
yea,note taken. thank you so much. about synonyms ,how should i do with them?{find more sentences?} and i also realized the concept of the figure of speech in english is so confused people.(eg;imagery。comparison。simile。 especially>>parabole and metaphor )
Ethan 21:29:05
Synonyms you can ask me or other teachers or do searches and find how other people use them, what kind of situations each is used in
and yeah, figure of speech is very difficult. just need to figure out how others use as well or ask me
Anslyn 21:40:23
yea, thx for your help. and 1.cofused ,perplexed. puzzled 2.tend, trend(some dictionary said it's a only n.but some said it's a noun and verb) 3.oral english ,spoken english >>>how about these three group of words.
Ethan 21:42:32
1 confused usually means you don't understand something.
Perplexed also means confused but has the feeling of not being able to solve it.
Puzzled means confused but doesn't sound quite as serious
Ethan 21:43:44
Oral English and Spoken English mean the same thing
－－－－－－－－－－－－－
"spoken English" and "oral English"
In China, we always say "oral English", is this right? what' the difference between "spoken English" and "oral English"?
A
There is no difference. They mean the same thing. In America, we are more likely to say "spoken English" or "spoken Chinese", etc.
But oddly, we say "oral exam" or "English oral exam".
In common speech (outside of the classroom), you will usually never hear anyone say "oral", because it has 【sexual connotations.】
B
spoken and oral has the same meaning but it's better to say spoken
"oral" is a colloquial term. colloquial means more like of "common english"
in higher English, it's proper to say spoken
oral pertains to the mouth and everything in it, while spoken pertains to the speech - that which comes from the mouth or more of the vocals
、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、
Line3: “Why don’t you come over and I’ll cook for you?”
What it means: “ Ready to get physical?”
Cooking shows readiness for intimacy. The person is really inviting you into
his or her life. Congratulations! If you’re ready explore things further,
tonight could be the night!
Line4: “I’m just not ready for a relationship.”
What it means: “ I’m just not in love with you.”
It’s hard, so, don’t be fooled—when this person does meet someone who has
that romantic spark, he or she will indeed be ready for a relationship

independent genitive 所有格
Definition:
A construction in which the noun following the possessive form is omitted (such as "We stopped at Sam's"), usually because the context makes the meaning clear without it.
"An independent genitive is not followed by a noun:
•a friend of Caroline's
•a colleague of Frank's
•an old army pal of Jim's
Independent: We met a friend of Caroline's in Spain.
Dependent: We met Caroline's friend in Spain.
"Independent genitives are also used in reference to places and businesses:
•She stayed at Rebecca's = Rebecca's house
•I ran into Jim in Sainsbury's = Sainsbury's supermarket
•I left my wallet in the barber's = the barber's shop
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
百科
過去完成時
独立主格结构（Independent Genitive）
注意事项
1.独立主格转换成状语从句，当状语从句的主语与主句的主语不是指同一个对象时，可用独立主格结构取代状语从句，但不再保留连词。
如：After class was over (=Class being over / Class over), the students soon left the classroom.
下课后，学生很快离开了课室。
2. 不能省略being (having been)的情形：在下列两种情况下，独立主格结构中的being（或having been）不能省略。
(1) 独立主格的逻辑主语是代词时。如：It being Sunday, we went to church.因为是星期天，我们去做了礼拜。
(2)在There being+名词的结构中。如：There being no bus, we had to go home on foot.因为没有公共汽车，所以我们不得不步行回家。
3. 在“名词（或代词）+介词短语”构成的独立主格结构中，一般不用形容词性物主代词(eg-my.mine)和 <a href="http://www.hudong.com/wiki/%E5%86%A0%E8%AF%8D?amp;pf=youdaocitiao&hf=youdaocitiao?hf=youdaocitiao&pf=youdaocitiao">冠词</a> （eg-the)。
冠词分为不定冠词"a，an"、定冠词"the"和零冠词三种，零冠词指的是不用冠词
的情况。
不定冠词表示泛指，定冠词表示特指。
如： Miss Smith entered the classroom, book in hand.史密斯小姐走进了课室，手里拿着一本书。比较with的复合结构。如：Miss Smith entered the classroom, with a book in her hand.
4. 独立主格结构没有所有格形式The chief-editor arriving, we began the meeting. 主编来了，我们开始开会。(比较动名词复合结构。)
非限定性定语从句 ，是定语从句的分支之一。作用是对所修饰的成分作进一步说明，通常和主句间用 逗号隔开 ，将从句拿掉后其他部分仍可成立。
限制性与非限制性定语从句区别

非限制性定语从句：

独立主格文章列表
独立主格结构几种常构成方式
The country has already sent up three unmanned spacecraft, the most recent _______ at the end of last March
A. has been launched B. having been launched
C. being launched D. to be launched
此题答案为 B。考查独立主格结构的用法。由于句子中没有连词（eg: and），所以不能选 A。又因为动作于去年的三月底就已经发生，所以不能选表示未来动作的 D 和表示进行动作的 C。
英语中的独立主格结构从语法上看，它是一个独立的成分，而不是句子（因为句中没有谓语），在句中主要用作状语，通常可转换成状语从句
独立主格结构的几点注意
5. 独立主格的时态问题
独立主格结构作时间或原因状语时，可用完成时，表示该动作发生在谓语之前。如：
The listeners having taken their seats, the concert began.听众坐好后，音乐会开始了。
Tom having been late over and over, his boss was very disappointed.由于汤姆一再迟到，他的老板非常失望
分词独立主格结构的理解技巧
英语句子从结构上看，只有三种类型，即要么是1.简单句(只有一个主谓结构)，要么是2.并列句(句子之间应有并列连词)，要么就是3.复合句(有相应的主句和从句)，除此之外，不存在其他的句子类型。
~~分词用作状语时它的逻辑主语应与句子主语一致~~
1.正：Being ill, he was taken to the hospital by us.
独立主格结构
解决分词的逻辑主语与句子主语不一致的问题吗？有！我们还可以在分词前加一个名词或代词，使之成为分词的逻辑主语。由于加在分词前的名词或代词要用主格形式，所以我们称这类结构为独立主格结构，如上面一句也可改写为：1.He being ill, we took him to the hospital.
句中的he being ill只是一个用作状语的 分词短语 ，句子只有一个主谓结构，所以它是简单句。
2.正：He was ill, and we took him to the hospital.
2.正：He was ill, so we took him to the hospital.
2.正：Because he was ill, we took him to the hospital.
2.正：He was ill, so he was taken to the hospital by us.
2.正：Because he was ill, he was taken to the hospital by us.
http://www.yygrammar.com/Article/200807/410.html
~~注意：一般来说，不论是动词不定式作状语、-ing分词做状语，还是动词的过去分词作状语，其逻辑主语必须是句子的主语。但是，有一些非谓语动词短语已经游离出来，成为单独的短语，在句子中作状语。如：
此外，还有短语：taking...into consideration 把某事考虑进去；calculating roughly, 粗略地计算；supposing... 假定；to tell you the truth 实话告诉你；to be frank 坦白地说；to begin with 首先要做的是；so to speak 可以这么说；taken as a whole 从整体上来看；put frankly, 坦率地说；given that 鉴于
分词作状语-圖片-百度文檔
All flight ( ) because of the terrible wealther,they had to go there by train.
括号里该填having been canceled
這裡 having been canceled 是等于 which had been canceled 嗎？
独立主格結構
all flight 和 cancle 是被动关系，被動關係应该用-过去分词 >>>不改是had 嗎？
可 having 是现代分词啊 ，现代分词是表主动关系啊
后面是had，而cancled发生在过去的过去，是过去完成时，又有独立主格，用having
动词的ing叫现在分词，而这句话里cancle才是动词，have只是那什么……

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takes_two_to_tango_(idiom)
It takes two to cooperate
It takes two to make a bargain
It takes two to make a quarrel
“It takes two to tango”的字面意思是“探戈舞需要两个人来跳”，“一个巴掌拍不响”
先说tango（探戈）。探戈一般要男女对跳，男人粗犷、女人妖冶，构成了探戈舞的巨大张力。这种舞蹈源于18世纪的阿根廷，当时被认为是上流社会的色情面具，同时也是草根阶层释放欲望的最好方式。
Tango的这层“诱惑、情色”意，很容易让人联想到它的同音异形词tangle（纠缠、扭缠在一起）。如果看过奥斯卡影片“Scent of a woman”（《闻香识女人》），想必您还能记得老上校对tango的经典定义“If you make a mistake, get all tangled up, just tango on.” 如果（探戈）跳错了，那就让大家的舞步都混乱好了，这才是探戈。
说到这儿，想必您也明白了，（It takes two to）tango其实是取了tangle的谐音，而整个短语“It takes two to tango”实质上由英国俗语“It takes two to make a quarrel”（一个巴掌拍不响）发挥创造而来。
下次如果有朋友向您抱怨，女朋友又跟他闹矛盾了，您就可以这样回敬他：
A conflict is not the fault of just one person or the other; they are often both to blame, because it takes two to tango.（矛盾不能只归咎于一方，你们两个人都有错，因为一个巴掌拍不响嘛。）
both to blame liability双方过失碰撞责任
Both to blame collision clause互有过失碰撞条款；船舶互撞条款；

Veganism and vegetarianism -referenced/relative items
"lacto:" milk
"Ovo" comes from the Latin word for egg.
A lacto vegetarian (sometimes referred to as a lactarian; from the Latin lactis, milk) diet is a vegetarian diet that includes dairy products such as milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, cream, and kefir, but excludes eggs.
Ovo-lacto vegetarianism
The terminology stems from the Latin lac meaning "milk" (as in 'lactation'), ovum meaning "egg", and the English term vegetarian (see Etymology of vegetarianism for the etymology of "vegetarian"), so as giving the definition of a vegetarian diet containing milk and eggs.
ovo-lacto吃素之外加上牛奶鸡蛋等之类的传统上被归为荤腥的食物。, vegan严格素食主义者, vegetarian普通素食主义者
vegetarianism
Vegetarian is a general speaking
http://www.ivu.org/ International vegetarian union =IVU ！！！主頁可換成中文哦~
http://www.ivu.org/chinese/faq/definitions_gb.html
http://www.ivu.org/faq/definitions.html
素食者（Vegetarian）: 根据国际素食联盟成员的意愿，素食主义包括纯素食主义，它的定义是不吃肉，家禽、鱼及它们的副产品，可以吃或不吃奶制品和蛋。
常常进一步细分为奶蛋素（OVO-LACTO）和奶素（LACTO）。素食者不必象完全素食者（vegan）那样避免涉及动物的食物，当然也可以这样做。
Vegetarian: IVU defines vegetarianism as a diet of foods derived from plants, with or without eggs, dairy products, and/or honey.
Those using eggs and/or dairy products are often known as ovo- and/or lacto-vegetarian
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pescetarianism鱼素者
Pescetarianism ( /ˌpɛskɨˈtɛəriən/) (also spelled Pescatarian) is the practice of a diet that includes seafood but not the flesh of other animals.
素食简要问答brainwashing
牛油和黄油是同一种东西吗？
答：中文黄油一词无歧义，其英文是 butter ，是从牛奶中提取的脂肪，属于乳制品的范畴。但是，中文牛油一词概念较混乱，一开始被当作黄油，现在多被认为是牛的脂肪，其英文为 beef fat 或 beef tallow，即为从牛的肥肉中提取的脂肪，属于肉制品
斋食
由动物制成的食品称之为“腥”，而另有五种辛味植物被称为“荤”。根据《楞严经》记载，佛家五荤为大蒜、小蒜、兴渠、慈葱、茖葱。《梵网经》谓：“五辛，一葱、二薤、三韭、四蒜、五兴渠。”《楞伽经》谓：“五辛，一大蒜、二茖葱、三慈葱、四兰葱、五兴渠。《杂阿含经》注解云：兰葱“非小蒜，木葱。是也。木葱即韭也”。[4] 《本草备要》注解云：“慈葱，冬葱也；茖葱，山葱也；兴渠，西域菜，云即中国之荽(=sui1香菜)。”
荤菜
指五种带辛味的蔬菜，合称五荤或五辛
现代被扩大解释为任何一种含有大蒜素的葱科植物。原是印度婆罗门的饮食禁忌，大乘佛教与道教也主张建议不要食用。主要的理由是认为食用这些含有大蒜素的蔬菜可能会使人产生性欲，带来愤怒的情绪，又会召来邪恶的鬼神，因此主张不要食用。
三净肉 好多佛教資料！！！
九净肉
No food with a face
不吃有脸的食物（即动物）。 Vegetarian（素食主义者）。

ESL Podcast 300 – Arriving for an Appointment
I don’t know precisely, but I think we have about 80.
http://www.dailywritingtips.com/not-good-or-no-good/
This car is not good, but it gets me to work.
That car is no good; it doesn’t run at all.
not good和no good之別
(1) not good指「不好」，例如：
The idea is not good.此想法不好。
(2) no good指「沒用」，例如：
The idea is no good.此想法無用。
(3) no good又指「不擅長」，例如：
I'm no good with tax return.我不善於填寫稅表。
(4) 至於no good中的good，應為名詞，類似於no use中的use，例如：
It's no good trying again.再嘗試也沒用。
(5) It's no good可改為It isn't much good，語氣較緩和，例如：
It isn't much good trying again.再嘗試也沒多大用處。
(6) 另外，It's no good trying again＝There is no good in trying again.
(7) 但說There is no good trying again（少了in），就算錯誤。（A Dictionary of English Usage）

about question-1:the context is ."do you work better individually or in a team setting,why?"--my answer would be: 【you should know where the position(you apply for) tends to.】 if this's a cooperation job, you should say ,i like to work as a team,share the ideas and responsbility together. if this's a individually job(like tour guide),you should say, i prefer to work by myself,i have the ability to make decision by my own.

Ethan 21:45:19
We don't use trend that way very often at all. In English we tend to use tend to more
trend is used when we're looking at a long set of data over a period of time. trend is maybe more formal
Ethan 21:46:21
tend just means something usually happens

i think my writhing and reading skills really need to soilder on.
Anslyn 15:53:21
teacher Ethan: here're some questions,could you help me out?TIA
1."you know where the position trends/tends to".>>>is this sentence right?
some say i can' t use trend,
but i don't know what's difference between trend and tend
2.到底怎么表達"我很糾結"
i think is "twisted" but,some told me
i 'm twisted =i'm crazy..mentally,
so if you say i'm twisted,people will think you are nuts/psycho.right?
(but i think＂ twisted＂ is the most exact word to describe what 糾結 is．)
i also think "tangled' "entangled" are ok too.
but ,i checked "tangled " and "entangled"
in my oxford advanced learner's dictionary book .there's no "entangled"this word
but i still think "entangled "can be used as a adj.
and again, i can't distinguish "tangled' and "entangled ".what's difference between them?
en- seems to be more active (my view)
confused >is not quite exact to describe,more like i don't know what to do./don't know what are you talking about (my view)
 |
 |
 |
Ethan 15:57:23
1. What do you want the sentence to mean? You can use it that way but it's very uncommon, depending on the situation there may be other ways to say it
Ethan 15:57:55
2.Twisted means mentally strange. crazy. I'm twisted means I like strange things
Ethan 15:58:57
I'm tangled just means I'm caught in something else. I'm tangled in the rope means i'm caught int he rope. Not used to describe someone much. entangled means the same thing but you're right that entangled has the feeling of it being more active
Anslyn 16:01:16
twisted is not like psycho? so you would better not to say "i'm twisted" ,right? someone is twisted--it has bad meaning.or just neutral word?
Ethan 16:02:10
in terms of regular society it would be bad. some people might think it's interesting though. But generally I wouldn't use it unless you are a very open minded and very adventurous girl who likes to do crazy things a lot
Anslyn 16:03:50
okay, so i think the best word will be TANGLED/ENTANGLED then.
Ethan 16:04:27
What do you want to say exactly?
Anslyn 16:07:57
糾結 this word i think it's quite in common use. eg;i'm tangled in this question ,i can;t figure it out. //i‘m tangled. i can't decide which book i should buy,
Ethan 16:20:24
【perplexed】 might work better. I'm perplexed by this question. I'm perplexed as to which book I should buy. entangled does work but it's not used so much in this situation
Anslyn 16:25:42
i see, perplexed is so simmilar to confused.
Ethan 16:26:57
yeah, similar
Anslyn 16:27:28
i always think confused is like i'm lost.
Ethan 16:28:04
to some extent yes but can also mean unsure or perplexed depending on the situation. English is much more situational in it's word meaning and it causes problems sometimes
Anslyn 16:32:00
yea,synonym is killing me...
Anslyn 17:37:44
yea,note taken. thank you so much. about synonyms ,how should i do with them?{find more sentences?} and i also realized the concept of the figure of speech in english is so confused people.(eg;imagery。comparison。simile。 especially>>parabole and metaphor )
Ethan 21:29:05
Synonyms you can ask me or other teachers or do searches and find how other people use them, what kind of situations each is used in
and yeah, figure of speech is very difficult. just need to figure out how others use as well or ask me
Anslyn 21:40:23
yea, thx for your help. and 1.cofused ,perplexed. puzzled 2.tend, trend(some dictionary said it's a only n.but some said it's a noun and verb) 3.oral english ,spoken english >>>how about these three group of words.
Ethan 21:42:32
1 confused usually means you don't understand something.
Perplexed also means confused but has the feeling of not being able to solve it.
Puzzled means confused but doesn't sound quite as serious
Ethan 21:43:44
Oral English and Spoken English mean the same thing
－－－－－－－－－－－－－
"spoken English" and "oral English"
In China, we always say "oral English", is this right? what' the difference between "spoken English" and "oral English"?
A
There is no difference. They mean the same thing. In America, we are more likely to say "spoken English" or "spoken Chinese", etc.
But oddly, we say "oral exam" or "English oral exam".
In common speech (outside of the classroom), you will usually never hear anyone say "oral", because it has 【sexual connotations.】
B
spoken and oral has the same meaning but it's better to say spoken
"oral" is a colloquial term. colloquial means more like of "common english"
in higher English, it's proper to say spoken
oral pertains to the mouth and everything in it, while spoken pertains to the speech - that which comes from the mouth or more of the vocals

Line3: “Why don’t you come over and I’ll cook for you?”
What it means: “ Ready to get physical?”
Cooking shows readiness for intimacy. The person is really inviting you into
his or her life. Congratulations! If you’re ready explore things further,
tonight could be the night!
Line4: “I’m just not ready for a relationship.”
What it means: “ I’m just not in love with you.”
It’s hard, so, don’t be fooled—when this person does meet someone who has
that romantic spark, he or she will indeed be ready for a relationship

1.独立主格转换成状语从句，当状语从句的主语与主句的主语不是指同一个对象时，可用独立主格结构取代状语从句，但不再保留连词。
如：After class was over (=Class being over / Class over), the students soon left the classroom.
下课后，学生很快离开了课室。
2. 不能省略being (having been)的情形：在下列两种情况下，独立主格结构中的being（或having been）不能省略。
(1) 独立主格的逻辑主语是代词时。如：It being Sunday, we went to church.因为是星期天，我们去做了礼拜。
(2)在There being+名词的结构中。如：There being no bus, we had to go home on foot.因为没有公共汽车，所以我们不得不步行回家。
3. 在“名词（或代词）+介词短语”构成的独立主格结构中，一般不用形容词性物主代词(eg-my.mine)和 <a href="http://www.hudong.com/wiki/%E5%86%A0%E8%AF%8D?amp;pf=youdaocitiao&hf=youdaocitiao?hf=youdaocitiao&pf=youdaocitiao">冠词</a> （eg-the)。
冠词分为不定冠词"a，an"、定冠词"the"和零冠词三种，零冠词指的是不用冠词
的情况。
不定冠词表示泛指，定冠词表示特指。
如： Miss Smith entered the classroom, book in hand.史密斯小姐走进了课室，手里拿着一本书。比较with的复合结构。如：Miss Smith entered the classroom, with a book in her hand.
4. 独立主格结构没有所有格形式The chief-editor arriving, we began the meeting. 主编来了，我们开始开会。(比较动名词复合结构。)
非限定性定语从句 ，是定语从句的分支之一。作用是对所修饰的成分作进一步说明，通常和主句间用 逗号隔开 ，将从句拿掉后其他部分仍可成立。

独立主格文章列表
独立主格结构几种常构成方式
The country has already sent up three unmanned spacecraft, the most recent _______ at the end of last March
A. has been launched B. having been launched
C. being launched D. to be launched
此题答案为 B。考查独立主格结构的用法。由于句子中没有连词（eg: and），所以不能选 A。又因为动作于去年的三月底就已经发生，所以不能选表示未来动作的 D 和表示进行动作的 C。
英语中的独立主格结构从语法上看，它是一个独立的成分，而不是句子（因为句中没有谓语），在句中主要用作状语，通常可转换成状语从句
独立主格结构的几点注意
5. 独立主格的时态问题
独立主格结构作时间或原因状语时，可用完成时，表示该动作发生在谓语之前。如：
The listeners having taken their seats, the concert began.听众坐好后，音乐会开始了。
Tom having been late over and over, his boss was very disappointed.由于汤姆一再迟到，他的老板非常失望
分词独立主格结构的理解技巧
英语句子从结构上看，只有三种类型，即要么是1.简单句(只有一个主谓结构)，要么是2.并列句(句子之间应有并列连词)，要么就是3.复合句(有相应的主句和从句)，除此之外，不存在其他的句子类型。
~~分词用作状语时它的逻辑主语应与句子主语一致~~
1.正：Being ill, he was taken to the hospital by us.
独立主格结构
解决分词的逻辑主语与句子主语不一致的问题吗？有！我们还可以在分词前加一个名词或代词，使之成为分词的逻辑主语。由于加在分词前的名词或代词要用主格形式，所以我们称这类结构为独立主格结构，如上面一句也可改写为：1.He being ill, we took him to the hospital.
句中的he being ill只是一个用作状语的 分词短语 ，句子只有一个主谓结构，所以它是简单句。
2.正：He was ill, and we took him to the hospital.
2.正：He was ill, so we took him to the hospital.
2.正：Because he was ill, we took him to the hospital.
2.正：He was ill, so he was taken to the hospital by us.
2.正：Because he was ill, he was taken to the hospital by us.
http://www.yygrammar.com/Article/200807/410.html
~~注意：一般来说，不论是动词不定式作状语、-ing分词做状语，还是动词的过去分词作状语，其逻辑主语必须是句子的主语。但是，有一些非谓语动词短语已经游离出来，成为单独的短语，在句子中作状语。如：
此外，还有短语：taking...into consideration 把某事考虑进去；calculating roughly, 粗略地计算；supposing... 假定；to tell you the truth 实话告诉你；to be frank 坦白地说；to begin with 首先要做的是；so to speak 可以这么说；taken as a whole 从整体上来看；put frankly, 坦率地说；given that 鉴于

分词作状语-圖片-百度文檔
All flight ( ) because of the terrible wealther,they had to go there by train.
括号里该填having been canceled
這裡 having been canceled 是等于 which had been canceled 嗎？
独立主格結構
all flight 和 cancle 是被动关系，被動關係应该用-过去分词 >>>不改是had 嗎？
可 having 是现代分词啊 ，现代分词是表主动关系啊
后面是had，而cancled发生在过去的过去，是过去完成时，又有独立主格，用having
动词的ing叫现在分词，而这句话里cancle才是动词，have只是那什么……

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takes_two_to_tango_(idiom)
It takes two to cooperate
It takes two to make a bargain
It takes two to make a quarrel
“It takes two to tango”的字面意思是“探戈舞需要两个人来跳”，“一个巴掌拍不响”
先说tango（探戈）。探戈一般要男女对跳，男人粗犷、女人妖冶，构成了探戈舞的巨大张力。这种舞蹈源于18世纪的阿根廷，当时被认为是上流社会的色情面具，同时也是草根阶层释放欲望的最好方式。
Tango的这层“诱惑、情色”意，很容易让人联想到它的同音异形词tangle（纠缠、扭缠在一起）。如果看过奥斯卡影片“Scent of a woman”（《闻香识女人》），想必您还能记得老上校对tango的经典定义“If you make a mistake, get all tangled up, just tango on.” 如果（探戈）跳错了，那就让大家的舞步都混乱好了，这才是探戈。
说到这儿，想必您也明白了，（It takes two to）tango其实是取了tangle的谐音，而整个短语“It takes two to tango”实质上由英国俗语“It takes two to make a quarrel”（一个巴掌拍不响）发挥创造而来。
下次如果有朋友向您抱怨，女朋友又跟他闹矛盾了，您就可以这样回敬他：
A conflict is not the fault of just one person or the other; they are often both to blame, because it takes two to tango.（矛盾不能只归咎于一方，你们两个人都有错，因为一个巴掌拍不响嘛。）
both to blame liability双方过失碰撞责任
Both to blame collision clause互有过失碰撞条款；船舶互撞条款；

Veganism and vegetarianism -referenced/relative items
"lacto:" milk
"Ovo" comes from the Latin word for egg.
A lacto vegetarian (sometimes referred to as a lactarian; from the Latin lactis, milk) diet is a vegetarian diet that includes dairy products such as milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, cream, and kefir, but excludes eggs.
Ovo-lacto vegetarianism
The terminology stems from the Latin lac meaning "milk" (as in 'lactation'), ovum meaning "egg", and the English term vegetarian (see Etymology of vegetarianism for the etymology of "vegetarian"), so as giving the definition of a vegetarian diet containing milk and eggs.
ovo-lacto吃素之外加上牛奶鸡蛋等之类的传统上被归为荤腥的食物。, vegan严格素食主义者, vegetarian普通素食主义者
vegetarianism
Vegetarian is a general speaking
http://www.ivu.org/ International vegetarian union =IVU ！！！主頁可換成中文哦~
http://www.ivu.org/chinese/faq/definitions_gb.html
http://www.ivu.org/faq/definitions.html
素食者（Vegetarian）: 根据国际素食联盟成员的意愿，素食主义包括纯素食主义，它的定义是不吃肉，家禽、鱼及它们的副产品，可以吃或不吃奶制品和蛋。
常常进一步细分为奶蛋素（OVO-LACTO）和奶素（LACTO）。素食者不必象完全素食者（vegan）那样避免涉及动物的食物，当然也可以这样做。
Vegetarian: IVU defines vegetarianism as a diet of foods derived from plants, with or without eggs, dairy products, and/or honey.
Those using eggs and/or dairy products are often known as ovo- and/or lacto-vegetarian
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pescetarianism鱼素者
Pescetarianism ( /ˌpɛskɨˈtɛəriən/) (also spelled Pescatarian) is the practice of a diet that includes seafood but not the flesh of other animals.
素食简要问答brainwashing
牛油和黄油是同一种东西吗？
答：中文黄油一词无歧义，其英文是 butter ，是从牛奶中提取的脂肪，属于乳制品的范畴。但是，中文牛油一词概念较混乱，一开始被当作黄油，现在多被认为是牛的脂肪，其英文为 beef fat 或 beef tallow，即为从牛的肥肉中提取的脂肪，属于肉制品
斋食
由动物制成的食品称之为“腥”，而另有五种辛味植物被称为“荤”。根据《楞严经》记载，佛家五荤为大蒜、小蒜、兴渠、慈葱、茖葱。《梵网经》谓：“五辛，一葱、二薤、三韭、四蒜、五兴渠。”《楞伽经》谓：“五辛，一大蒜、二茖葱、三慈葱、四兰葱、五兴渠。《杂阿含经》注解云：兰葱“非小蒜，木葱。是也。木葱即韭也”。[4] 《本草备要》注解云：“慈葱，冬葱也；茖葱，山葱也；兴渠，西域菜，云即中国之荽(=sui1香菜)。”
荤菜
指五种带辛味的蔬菜，合称五荤或五辛
现代被扩大解释为任何一种含有大蒜素的葱科植物。原是印度婆罗门的饮食禁忌，大乘佛教与道教也主张建议不要食用。主要的理由是认为食用这些含有大蒜素的蔬菜可能会使人产生性欲，带来愤怒的情绪，又会召来邪恶的鬼神，因此主张不要食用。

No food with a face
