教材原文
Life on a space station
Living in spaceis every wouldbe astronaut①'s dream.My sixmonth stay on a space station has come to an end②,and it has been a challenging but magical adventure.I bet you'd love to know what daily life is like up in space and how it differs from③that on the Earth—the low gravity④definitely makes ordinary things strange!
动名词短语作主语。
bet后面接一个宾语从句you'd love to know what daily life is...on the Earth。其中,know后也有两个由what和how引导的并列的宾语从句。
The strangeness of living in space is apparent from the moment we sleep.Due to⑤the near absence⑥of gravity in space,we have to attach ourselves so that we don't float⑦around.We usually sleep in private quarters,which are more like large cupboards⑧,or in sleeping bags attached to⑨the walls or the ceiling⑩.
