    Part II:語法學(xué)習(xí)
    1.meanwhile的應(yīng)用
    meanwhile作為一個轉(zhuǎn)承詞,表示的意思是“與此同時”,在使用上與however有相似之處。如果引導(dǎo)一個句子,那它需要用逗號與句子其它部分分隔開來;在它的前面出現(xiàn)的往往是一個句號,或者分號,最起碼是個逗號。
    示例:I either nodded or made strange noises. Meanwhile, my tongue was busy searching out the hole.
    2.定語從句的繼續(xù)
    關(guān)系副詞where引導(dǎo)定語從句
    示例:My tongue was busy searching out the hole where the tooth had been.(where = in the hole,所以,我們也可以用in which來替換where,因為它們的含義是一致的)
