[1]“On/Upon doing sth.”结构，意为“一……就……”。“that Morrie...illness”为that引导的宾语从句，从句谓语用了现在进行时的被动语态。 Arthur K ☆☆☆☆☆ This book is about dying，but it is not pessimistic⑤.Indeed，[2]it was a pleasant surprise to find that this book is filled with joy and hope．Morrie's bravery⑥ towards the end of his life is inspirational⑦ and has made me value⑧ my own life more.In fact，far from⑨ being a book about death，it's a book about life.As Morrie says，“Once you learn how to die，you learn how to live.”[3]As Morrie anticipates⑩ his own death，he observes everything as though through new eyes—the things around him seem more beautiful than ever before and hold new meanings.From his window，he watches each season change，knowing it could be his last.This encourages us to appreciate what we have，and to make the most of⑪ each day. [2]本句属于“it＋be＋名词＋to do sth.”句型，句中it作形式主语，真正的主语是动词不定式短语“to find...and hope”。 [3]“As Morrie...death”为As引导的时间状语从句；“as though through new eyes”作状语，是“as though he is through new eyes”的省略形式。 Amy Wang ☆☆☆☆☆ I think this book should be on all school reading lists.After finishing it，I feel I have been given a deeper insight⑫ into the world and can see things from a different point of view⑬.On the 11th Tuesday, Morrie explains that “...the big things—how we think，what we value—those you must choose yourself.You can't let anyone—or any society—determine those for you”．While we are living，we tend to get distracted⑭ by unimportant things，such as gathering material possessions⑮.[4]I think it's important for young people to know that making a lot of money won't always make them happy，or that looking different doesn't make a person abnormal⑯！[5]It's up to us to find out what is important in our lives and establish our own values⑰. [4]本句中“it's important...abnormal”是省略了that的宾语从句，该宾语从句中it作形式主语，真正的主语是“to know...abnormal”，“that making...happy”和“that looking...abnormal”作know的并列宾语，且这两个that引导的宾语从句中均使用了动词­ing作主语。 [5]本句中It作形式主语，动词不定式短语“to find out...values”为真正的主语。 Morrie says that most people “seem half­asleep⑱”，even when they're doing things they think are important.Reading this book made me feel as if I'd been woken up from a long sleep and finally opened my eyes to⑲ the world! Marty ☆☆☆☆☆ Despite its widespread⑳ recognition㉑, my first impression was that Tuesdays with Morrie is just made up of a collection of㉒ over­emotional㉓ thoughts and messages，[6]many of which are repeated．But thinking back，it did teach me a lesson or two.The book made me stop and think about how much I am influenced by popular culture and the importance of creating my own values based on love and open communication㉔.Although it isn't my favourite book，I'd still recommend that people read it—after all，it is something that's a bit different! [6]“代词＋介词＋关系代词”引导的非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词thoughts and messages。 Vivian ☆☆☆☆☆ Warning！A box of tissues will be needed to get through㉕ this book！Morrie's reflections on love and friendship made me think about my life and all the good friends that I've lost touch with㉖ along the way.It made me realise just how much I miss them. I guess that's one of the lessons of the book—always keep in touch with the good people you meet as you go through life.[7]Like Mitch，Morrie makes you aware that you want to die feeling that you have lived life to the full，knowing that you are loved and have loved others as much as you could.As Morrie's favourite poet Auden said，“Love each other or perish.” [7]本句是主从复合句。句中that引导宾语从句，其中“feeling that...full”和“knowing that...you could”均为动词­ing形式短语作伴随状语。 ◎ 《相约星期二》 米奇·阿尔博姆是一位前途光明的体育新闻记者，可他总觉得生活里少了些什么。直到和最喜爱的大学教授莫里·施瓦茨重逢，他的心态才彻底改变。米奇得知莫里得了重病，日渐虚弱，便每周二都去教授家看望他。米奇和莫里每周的谈话最终成为一堂堂课，探讨人生意义和如何更好地生活。 阿瑟·K 虽然这本书谈论的是死亡，但并不悲观。相反，字里行间洋溢着欢乐和希望，很是让人惊喜。莫里面对死亡所展示出的无畏也给人很大的启发，让我更加珍惜自己的生命。实际上，这根本不是一本关于死亡的书，而是一本关于生活的书。正如莫里所说：“一旦你懂得了怎样死亡，也就学会了怎样生活。”到了弥留之际，莫里开始用新的眼光看待周围的一切事物——一切都显得比以往更加美好，也有了新的意义。他在窗边看季节更替，知道这可能是生命最后的时光。这鼓励我们珍视自己所拥有的一切，充分利用每一天。 埃米·王 我认为这本书应该列入所有学校阅读书目。读完后，我觉得自己对世界有了更深刻的认识，可以从不同的角度看待事物了。在第11个星期二，莫里说道：“……在重要的问题上，比如如何思考、我们珍视什么等方面，你必须自己做选择。你不能让任何人或社会替你做决定。”在我们活着的时候，我们往往会被不重要的事物分散注意力，例如积累物质财富。我认为对于年轻人来说，重要的是明白赚很多钱并不总能带来快乐，看上去与众不同并不代表不正常。我们应该靠自己去弄清楚生命中什么才是最重要的，并树立我们自己的价值观。 莫里说即使大多数人在做自认为重要的事情，他们也是“看上去半睡半醒”的。阅读这本书仿佛将我从长眠中唤醒了，让我终于开始睁眼看世界！ 马蒂 尽管《相约星期二》这本书得到了广泛的认可，但是我的第一印象是，它只是传达了过于感性的思想和信息，其中有很多是重复的。不过现在回想起来，这本书确实给了我一两条经验，它能让我停下来思考流行文化对我的影响，以及在爱与开放式沟通的基础上树立自己的价值观有多么重要。虽然这不是我最爱的一本书，但我还是要推荐大家读一读，毕竟它有与众不同的地方！ 薇薇安 注意了！读这本书时，千万要准备一盒纸巾！莫里对于爱和友谊的思考使我想起了自己的生活，想起一路走来失去联系的那些好友。我才意识到，原来自己如此想念他们。 在人生旅途中，要和你遇到的优秀的人时常保持联系，我想这或许就是此书想传达给我们的一条经验吧。和米奇一样，莫里让你意识到：在你将死之时，要感觉你已经活得很充实，要知道自己是被爱的，也一直尽力爱着别人。正如莫里最爱的诗人奥登所说的，“不相爱即如死灰”。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
