(2)Oncetrained,youaresuretowinthechallenge.(变为复合句)→___________________,youaresuretowinthechallenge.

考点九：Thatiswhatlifemeansandwhatlifeisfor.那就是生命的意义和生命的目的。what引导名词性从句时通常要充当从句的成分,作从句的主语、宾语或表语。而that引导名词性从句时在从句中不作成分,也没有意义,只起一个引导作用,引导宾语从句时常可省略。例9．【汉译英】Whatmostparentsareconcernedaboutistogivetheirchildrenthebestpossibleeducation.(此主语从句缺少宾语,故用what引导)大多数父母关心的是给他们的孩子尽可能最好的教育。Hisproblemisthathedoesn’thavepatiencewiththiswork.(此表语从句意义完整,不缺少成分,故用that引导)他的问题是他对工作没有耐心。巩固练习巩固练习Ⅰ.单词拼写单词拼写1..Haveyou(确认)yournameandphonenumber?
