1. He was born?rich/ lucky. 他天生富貴/幸運。

“rich”和“l(fā)ucky”用作補語。與下面兩個句型對比學習：

（1）He was a born poet. 他天生是一個詩人。

（2）I was born an American; I live an Amercian; I shall die an American.(Daniel Webster)

我生來是個美國人，我活著是個美國人，我死時也還是個美國人。

后面講到動詞時，還會對這種結(jié)構(gòu)進行講解。

2. What are they doing?wrong? 他們做錯了什么？

3. Eat it?fresh. 趁新鮮時吃。

4.We believe that all men are created?equal?because they are created in the image of

god.

我們相信，人人生而平等，因為人都是按照上帝的形象創(chuàng)造出來的。

5. The letter was addressed?wrong. 這封信地址寫錯了。

6.That Hassan would grow up?illiterate?like Ali and most Hazaras had been decided

the minute he had been born, perhaps even the moment he had been conceived in Sanaubar's unwelcoming womb--after all, what use did a servant have for the written word?

哈桑長大后，會跟阿里和多數(shù)哈扎拉人一樣，自出生之日起，甚至自莎娜芭

不情不愿地懷上他那天起，就注定要成為文盲--畢竟，仆人要讀書識字干嗎呢?

我們在閱讀時，應(yīng)多關(guān)注這樣的結(jié)構(gòu)，然后在英語寫作中或練習口語時，才會

想到使用這樣的結(jié)構(gòu)。
