Neither Pine nor Apple in Pineapple
1 Have you ever asked yourself why people often have trouble learning① English? I hadn’t,until one day my five-year-old son asked me whether there was ham② in a hamburger【1】.There isn’t.This made me realize that there’s no egg in eggplant③ either. Neither is there pine④ nor apple in pineapple⑤【2】.This got me thinking how English can be a crazy language to learn【3】.

【1】整个句子是“not...until...”句式。“I hadn’t”是“I hadn’t asked myself”的省略形式,until引导时间状语从句。在该时间状语从句中,whether引导的从句作asked的直接宾语,whether在此意为“是否”。
【2】“neither...nor...”是并列连词,意为“既不……也不……”;此处否定词Neither 位于句首,故句子用部分倒装结构。
【3】句中how引导的从句作thinking的宾语。句中“got me thinking”是“get+宾语+宾补”结构,此处用现在分词thinking作宾补。

2 For example,in our free time we can sculpt⑥ a sculpture and paint a painting,but we take a photo.And when we are traveling we say that we are in the car or the taxi,but on the train or bus!While we’re doing all this traveling,we can get seasick⑦at sea,airsick in the air and carsick in a car,but we don’t get homesick when we get back home. And speaking of⑧ home,why aren’t homework and housework the same thing?
3 If “hard” is the opposite⑨ of “soft”, why are “hardly” and “softly” not an opposing pair? If harmless⑩ actions are the opposite of harmful actions,why are shameless⑪ and shameful behaviors⑫ the same?

4 When we look out of the window and see rain or snow,we can say “it’s raining” or “it’s snowing”.But when we see sunshine,we can’t say “it’s sunshining”.
5 Even the smallest words can be confusing⑬.When you see the capitalized⑭ “WHO” in a medical report,do you read it as the “who” in “Who’s that?”【4】What about “IT” and “US”?
