◆典句賞析

1.With TV,movies,computers,and online games becoming more and more popular,many teenagers like to stay at home by themselves rather than go out with their friends.隨著電視、電影、電腦和網絡游戲的日益普及，許多青少年喜歡獨自窩在家里而不是和朋友們一起出去運動。

by themselves屬于“介詞+反身代詞”結構，用作方式狀語，表示“獨自地”；rather than是固定搭配，譯為“而不是”，表示與前面的動作相反。

2.Not only can they get more dates and become more popular,but also they can learn teamwork and make more friends.他們不僅能得到更多約會、使自己更受歡迎，而且還能學到團隊合作精神、結識更多的朋友。

這是一個倒裝句。not only...but also...為并列連詞，意為“不僅……而且……”。當not only...but also...連接的是句子的并列成分，且not only位于句首時，通常要用倒裝語序。

3.One of the biggest problems in our society today is overweight,which is not just a problem with adults.當今社會中一個最大的問題是肥胖，這一點不僅僅是成年人才有的問題。

which引導的是非限制性定語從句，對overweight做進一步解釋。which引導的非限制性定語從句不僅可對先行詞進行解釋，還可對前面那個句子的意思做進一步解釋。
