power

of

nature高山无语,但阅尽世事沧桑;大海怒吼,却源自细流无声。大自然的一山一水,一草一木,无不充满智慧,深蕴哲理,富有力量。都说人生像一场旅行,旅途的目的地是梦想中的远方。无论什么样的旅程,到达终点只是其中的一个目的,值得驻足欣赏的还有沿途的风景。ManyyearsagoIwasonabicycletripthroughsomeextremelybeautifulcountryside.Suddenly,darkcloudspiledupoverheadandrainbegantofall,butstrangely,severalhundredyardsaheadofmethesunshonebrilliantly.Pedaling①,however,asrapidlyasIcould,Ifounditimpossibletogetintotheclear.ThecloudswiththeirrainkeptadvancingfasterthanIcouldraceforward.Icontinuedthisunequalcontestforanexhaustinghalfhour,beforerealizingthatIcouldnotwinmywaytothebrightareaaheadofme.

experience是独立主格结构的表达形式。独立主格结构从语法上来讲不是一个完整的句子,它在句子中作状语,表示时间、原因、条件、伴随等。独立主格结构的构成形式如下:名词/代词+动词-ing形式/过去分词/动词不定式/形容词/副词/介词短语。1234567注意(1)在该结构中的动词-ing形式表示主动或正在进行的动作,过去分词表示被动或完成的动作,不定式表示将来要发生的动作。(2)名词或代词与后面的分词、形容词、介词短语、副词、不定式等存在逻辑上的主谓关系。(3)独立主格结构一般用逗号与主句分开。①His

permitting.天气允许的话,派对将在花园举行。③Hesleepslateeverynight,his
