單字解釋
[6] it's in the papers的it指某件令作者不安的事,paper本指「紙張」,但此指「報紙」是可數名詞,a paper一份報紙,papers是報紙的統稱,in the papers刋登在報上。
[7] everywhere (adv) 到處、各個地方,因為是副詞,前面不需要再加介系詞。that I go是關係子句修飾everywhere,that也可省略,everywhere (that) I go我去的各個地方。
[11] there's是there is的縮寫,there+be=有。sunshine (n) 陽光。behind (prep) 在…後面。 rain (n) 雨。There's sunshine behind that rain.那場雨的後面有陽光。
[12] time當「時間」時不可數,times複數時常作「時光、時期」解。good times好時光。there is good times將times視為單數,但也有人說成there are good times。pain (n) 痛苦、煩惱。
[14] how I can make a change是子句當tell的受詞,故為名詞子句,因為是由疑問詞how(如何)帶領,故又叫「間接問句」,直接問句應為How can I make a change?變間接問句時疑問詞之後要變成「直述句」,即S+助v+原V...(I can make...)。change (n) 改變,make a change做出改變,通常指令人驚喜的變化。
[17] sinner (n) 罪人。’cause是because的縮寫。dinner (n) 晚餐。still (adv) 仍然、還。plate (n) 盤子,over my plate在我的餐盤上,over (prep) 部份或全部覆蓋。
[21] for (prep) 為了。broken (adj) 破碎的,heart (n) 心,broken-hearted是由此二字合成的形容詞,指「心碎的」,「the+形容詞」可指同一群人,如the rich富人、the poor窮人、the broken-hearted心碎的人。
[23] the ones not breathing是由the ones who are not breathing(沒有在呼吸的人)省略而來。ones可代替前面重覆過的複數名詞,此指死亡的那些人。breathing是breathe(呼吸)的現在分詞。
