们所不理解的方式知道的。
7. 重要句型：We never see frogs engaged in sport.

（as if 的句型里出现了虚拟语气，由于是对现在的虚拟，所以采用了系动词 were

Now，if he had had his wits about him， he would have known that there
was no use in building a dam where there was no water.（此句为对过去虚
拟的句型，原则为 if 条件句型用助动词 had 加上动词的过去分词形式，主句用
情态动词 would 等加上 have done 的形式；本句第二个 had 是 have one's wits
这个词组的动词过去分词形式；另外，此处的 there was no use in 后面只能
接动词的 ing 形式）
Animals think much while building their houses.（此句话为省略句型
之所以用 building，一方面是因为在时间状语从句里省略了语主句相同的主语
animals 和系动词 are，另一方 面是因为 animals 可以发出 build 的动作，所
以用主动的 doing 形式）
They are said to do sth. 据说……
It is by this instinct that birds build their nests and beavers their
dams and huts.（本句话为强调句型；划线部分为强调句型的基本配置，划线部
分之间是被强调成分）
The reason why…做某事的原因

difference between right and wrong. （此句为 so …that…句型；unlike

12. It takes up such parts of the soil as are dissolved in the water.
（as 的句型是特殊的定语从句句型，由于前面出现了 such 才会采用 as 来做定
