指在程度上相差很小，差不多?！驹~匯辯義】almost,nearly,about,2462nearly與almost含義基本相同，側重指數量、時間或空間上的接近。3about?？煞謅lmost和nearly換用，但about用于表示時間、數量的“大約”時，實際數量可能多也可能少。4approximately多用于書面語，指精確度接近某個標準以致誤差可忽略不計。5

around多用于非正式場合，常見于美國英語。6roughly指按精略估計，常代替about。2nearly與almost含義基本相同，側重指數量、時間471(a)(常作貶義)依照慣例的;約定俗成的;因循守舊的conventionalclothes,behaviour老一套的衣物、行為3.conventionaladj.

analysis句中從句謂語動詞makes是復合及物動詞，lookeasy是它的賓語補語。住句not后可以補上easy。阿西里塔站在一個75直徑公分的瑞士球體上，似乎很容易，其實不然。1WhileAshritamakesstanding59Ssubject主語Ppredicate謂語Oobject賓語Attattribute定語Advadverbial狀語Comcomplement補語Prepredicative表語Cclause

S.Com2Youarepermittedtorestfo61本句中有個permitsb.todosth.的動詞短語用法，sb.被提前做了主語，因此permitted后面有個停頓，to到rolling也變成了主語補語。同理，并列句后半句中allowed后面也有個停頓，to到句號也是主語補語。本句中有個permitsb.todosth.的動詞623ThemotivationtokeeptryingtobreakrecordscomesthroughhisdevotiontoSriChinmoy．SAttPAdvAtt3Themotivationtokeeptryin63相關例子：1Youneedalotofmotivationtosucceed.2Shewillberememberedforherselfless/unstintingdevotiontothecause.tokeeptryingtobreakrecords和toSriChinmoy做后置定語分別修飾motivation和devotion。他不斷破記錄的動機來自他對斯里琴摩的摯愛。相關例子：tokeeptryingtobreakr64Generallyspeaking,agoodprofileshouldincludewho,when,where,what.請根據MichaelFredPhelps的個人事跡,寫一篇人物簡介。題目為:“FlyingFish”,MichaelFredPhelpsLearntowriteaprofile(人物簡介)Generallyspeaking,agoodpro651.菲爾普斯,1985年6月30日出生于美國,綽號“飛魚”。
