◆典句賞析

1.He wanted to create a team sport more suitable for older members,which needs athletic skills.他想創建一個更適合年紀略大的會員參與的團體運動，并且需要運動技巧。

此句為含有which引導的非限定性定語從句的復合句，修飾先行詞team sport；句中的want to意為“想要”，want后接的動詞不定式作賓語。

2.Volleyball is a game which is full of excitement and energy.排球是一項充滿激情和能量的比賽。

此句為含有which引導的定語從句的復合句，從句修飾表示事物的先行詞game，引導詞which也可換成that；be full of意為“充滿……的”，可以與be filled with互換使用。

3.Secondly,being familiar with the rules of the volleyball game and obeying it well will help you a lot.其次，熟悉排球比賽的規則并認真遵守也會對你有很大的幫助。

being familiar with the rules of the volleyball game和obeying it well都是動名詞短語，兩者構成并列主語；a lot作為副詞，意為“很；非常”，相當于very much。

4.For instance,if you stand at a wrong place to catch the ball or you touch the net,you will be warned.例如，如果你接球時站錯了地方或者你碰網了，你都會被警告。

此句為含有if引導的條件狀語從句的復合句。在表達中我們要注意“主將從現”的原則；for instance是固定詞組，意為“例如”，用于列舉具體事例的場合。
