例：No matter who wins, it will be a fair game.
= Whoever wins, it will be a fair game.
= It will be a fair game, whoever wins.
(2) 這裡的 who needed it 前省略了 no matter。對等連接詞 or 連接的兩部分原來應該是一致的，所以這個子句應為 no matter where it was needed or no matter who needed it，為了避免重複，因此省略後面的 no matter。

B4L10 Body Language 肢體語言
1. It’s one of the things we can’t help doing.（見第1行）
此句解為「使用肢體語言是我們不自主會做的事之一。」
(1) one of + N 複數形 ~ 其中之一
(2) can’t help + V-ing/N= can’t help but + 原形V，意思是「忍不住，不自主會…..」。
例：Mary is so pretty. Tim can’t help falling in love with her. = Mary is so pretty. Tim can’t help but fall in love with her.
2. Similarly, it’s said of some Europeans that if you were to cut off their hands, they wouldn’t be able to communicate at all; to them, hand gestures are an essential part of their communication.（見第4行）
(1) 此句表示傳說的內容是有關一些歐洲人的。
(2) were to 是假設語氣，用來表示未來假設，但是其實現性低，或是不可能實現。
例：If you were to buy me an airplane, I would fly us both around the world.
另外，也可以用
if + S1 + should + V, S2 + would/could/should/ might + V
解為「萬一」
例：If I should win the lottery, I would share it with you.
3. This shows that they are either, at best, just trying to be polite or, at worst, lying.（見第10行）
(1) 主詞this指的是前面一句話所指的情形，也就是人們嘴裡說的和他們肢體語言所表達的不一致。
(2) either ... or ... 連接兩個子句，但是or後面的子句，因為主詞和動詞（they are）都跟either後面所接的一樣，所以省略。
4. Some of these aspects are standard around the world, while others vary from culture to culture.（見第16行）
while是連接詞，連接前後兩個子句，形成對比。
例：Mary likes spicy food, while her husband likes light dishes.
5. It’s something that happens in international cities when people from different cultures come together at a party.（見第19行）
(1) 分裂句 It is + 強調名詞 ＋ that 剩下的詞語

6. As one person tries to get closer to talk, the other person, if from another culture, might try to move away. （見第21行）

7. The furthest [(that) business people feel comfortable standing away from each other] is in one of the most crowded countries in the world: Japan.（見第26行）
= In Japan, business people stand further away from each other than in any other countries. This is interesting because Japan is one of the most crowded countries in the world.
商業人士站在彼此身旁感覺自在距離最遠的是全世界最擁擠的國家之一：日本。
(1) 劃線部份是本句的主詞。The furthest 是主詞，其後省略了distance，做其後子句business people feel comfortable中動詞feel的受詞。
(2) standing away from each other修飾前面的business people，要表達的是when they stand away from each other。
8. These are some distances at which people feel comfortable standing next to each other.（見第30行）
關係代名詞前的介系詞at不可省略。
其他關係代名詞前有介系詞的例句：
例：Jenny is the girl with whom I used to play when I was a child. This is the house in which he has lived for more than thirty years.
9. Differences in hand gestures have become less daunting in recent years with the popularity of international movies [that take common gestures from one culture and introduce them to another.]（見第39行）

(3) be likely to是本句的動詞片語
(4) it指的是a foreigner’s unusual gesture

C. 未來的動作 (尤其指來去動詞）

The story behind it is just as picturesque and romantic as the scenery of Chiufen
6. Beginning as a tiny, unknown village, it grew into a booming gold mining town, then later became a peaceful artists? colony, and finally one of the major tourist attractions in northern Taiwan.（見第13行）
Beginning as a tiny, unknown village 為一現在分詞片語，其主詞為後句的it，也就是九份，因為主詞一致所以省略，又因是主動所以用現在分詞，其原子It (Chiufen) began as a tiny, unknown village.
7. ..., it is this fascinating past that has made the town so popular today.（見第16行）
(1) 此句為it is ... that 的句型，為一加強用法，強調的部份為be動詞與that 之間的部份，第三段第二句亦有相同用法：..., it is from these nine families that Chiufen derives its name, ....
(2) has made the town so popular是V + O + OC的結構。
8. Hoping to get rich quick, people flocked to the town, which came to be known as “the gold capital of Asia.”見第28行）
(1) Hoping to get rich quick 為一現在分詞片語，其主詞為people，因為主詞和主要子句一致所以省略。
(2) which came to be known as “the gold capital of Asia” 為非限定子句，補充說明the town，也就是九份。
9. By the 1930s, the town had grown to between 3,000 and 4,000 homes.（見第31行）
by + 時間 表示「在……之前」，主要子句的時態依句意而改變。
例：By the 1960s, the gold was nearly gone.
By 2020, Tony will have been a teacher for forty years.
10. ..., the town remained as attractive as ever. （見第46行）
remain as + adj. + as ... 保持和……一樣……
例：Nancy remained as young as she was ten years ago.
不完全不及物後接形容詞修飾主詞，即S + Vi + SC
此類的動詞為「連綴動詞」。連綴動詞後接「形容詞」，當作「主詞補語」，用來描述主詞的「狀態」（補充說明或修飾主詞）；不可接副詞來修飾連綴動詞的「動作」。
常見之連綴動詞有： to be, to become, to appear, to seem, to get, to grow, to turn, to go, to prove, to remain, to stay, to look, to feel, to smell, to sound, to taste等。
例：
Sarah remained calm. 莎拉保持鎮靜。
The train is slow. 火車是慢的。
James grew tired. 詹姆士變得疲倦。
The milk went bad. 牛奶變壞。
The man died young. 那個人死得早。
11. ..., they can get a feeling of what the town was like nearly a century ago.（見第66行）
(1) of what the town was like nearly a century ago 為介系詞片語，修飾前面的feeling。
【補充】：what the town was like是由疑問句所改變而來的名詞子句，作為介系詞of的受詞。這種由疑問句所改變而來的名詞子句，可以當作句子的主詞或受詞，或者放在介系詞後面當該介系詞的受詞。
例：What you say isn’t always the same as what you really mean.
I don’t know why he did that, but he must have a good reason.
Are you aware of how dangerous it is to leave your child alone at home?
(2) be like + N
like為介系詞，後面接名詞作受詞，意指「像……」
例：When I found out I’d failed the test, it was like a nightmare.
【補充】like常跟連綴動詞連用，例如：
look like 看起來像是
behave like 行為舉止像是
sound like 聽起來像是
例：Gina’s baby son really looks like his daddy.
You are twenty-one years old now, so stop behaving like a child.
The man on the phone sounded like Mr. Anderson, but I’m not sure it was him.
1. The town of Chiufen, located on a mountainside overlooking the Pacific Ocean, is regarded as one of Taiwan’s unique cultural treasures.（見第1行）
(1) located on a mountainside是過去分詞片語修飾九份，作「位於山邊」解，是由關係子句which is located on a mountainside簡化而來。
(2) overlooking the Pacific Ocean是現在分詞片語修飾mountainside，作「俯視太平洋」解，是由關係子句which overlooks the Pacific Ocean 簡化而來。
例：The office building overlooking the Keelung River is the highest one in that area.
2. ..., and a chance to let the imagination wander back in time.（見第4行）
(1) 使役動詞let、have跟make的一些常見用法：
a. let/make + O + V
例：I didn’t want to let Jim know that I had once been married.
It made me understand what a fool I had been to trust a guy like Scott.
b. have + O + p.p.
例：Maggie went to a beauty salon to have her hair done for the wedding.
c. be made to V
例：Lucinda must be made to see that her actions are hurting others.
Some people believe that rules were made to be broken.
(2) 【比較】
wander v. [I]（漫無目的）到處走、徘徊
stroll v. [I]（在某處輕鬆地）溜達、閒晃
stride v. [I]（有精神或威風地）跨大步走
tiptoe v. [I]（用腳尖）躡手躡腳地走
3. Old brick buildings, packed intimately together, one row built just above the other, offer a charming, relaxed view.（見第5行）
(1) packed intimately together 是過去分詞片語，修飾前面的舊磚房，做「緊密地接合」解，是由關係子句which are packed intimately together簡化而來。
(2) one row built just above the other 為片語也修飾前面的舊磚房，其中built是由which is built 簡化而來。just 為副詞作「正好；就在」解，是加強語氣的用法。
(3) view n. [C] 景觀；觀念，看法
point(s) of view n. [片語] 觀點
in view of prep. [片語] 有鑑於
with a view to prep. [片語] 為了要
4. Narrow, dark alleyways, paved in stone that is now worn down by the foot and carriage traffic of many decades, ....（見第7行）
(1) paved in stone 是過去分詞片語修飾前面又窄又暗的小路，做「由石頭鋪設」解，是由關係子句which were paved in stone簡化而來。
人行道的英式說法（British English）是pavement；美式說法（American English）是sidewalk。
(2) that is now worn down by the foot and carriage traffic 為形容詞子句修飾前面的stone，意思是「現在這些石頭被足跡和車輛磨損」。
5. Just as picturesque and romantic as the scenery of Chiufen is the story behind it.（見第11行）
本句是一個主詞補語倒裝的句型，原句如下：
The story behind it is just as picturesque and romantic as the scenery of Chiufen
6. Beginning as a tiny, unknown village, it grew into a booming gold mining town, then later became a peaceful artists? colony, and finally one of the major tourist attractions in northern Taiwan.（見第13行）

Haiti海地
Updated April 13, 2010
Overview
One of the poorest and least developed countries in the world, Haiti in recent years has struggled with problems ranging from near-constant political upheaval, health crises, severe environmental degradation and an annual barrage of hurricanes.
On Jan. 12, 2010, a devastating earthquake struck Haiti, reducing much of its capital to rubble. It was the worst earthquake in the region in more than 200 years. A study by the Inter-American Development Bank estimates that the cost could be between $7.2 billion to $13.2 billion, based on a death toll from 200,000 to 250,000. The toll has been since been revised by Haiti's president at upwards of 300,000.
Huge swaths of the capital, Port-au-Prince, lay in ruins, and thousands of people were trapped in the rubble of government buildings, foreign aid offices and shantytowns. Schools, hospitals and a prison collapsed. Thousands of new amputees are facing the stark reality of living with disabilities in a shattered country whose terrain and culture have never been hospitable to the disabled.
Political Instability and Natural Disasters
Since 2008, the situation has worsened dramatically, with the nation staggering beneath the double whammy of food riots, government instability and a series of hurricanes that killed hundreds and battered the economy.
Hurricanes Gustav, Hanna and Ike and Tropical Storm Fay landed within the space of a month in August and September 2008. Nationally, damages came to a total of $900 million, or nearly 15 percent of the gross domestic product. The national toll was 800 dead, down from 2004 when 3,000 perished.
With the absence of jobs, many Haitians have sought work in the United States and elsewhere despite the global financial crisis. With some 900,000 youths expected to come into the job market in the next five years, dismal prospects are the main threat to stability.
The January 2010 earthquake left the country and its densely populated Port-au-Prince in ruins, its poorly constructed buildings and shanties destroyed or seriously compromised and the government broken.
More than 3,000 school buildings in the earthquake zone were in shambles; hundreds of teachers and thousands of students were killed. Some schools may never reopen, leaving vast numbers of children languishing in camps or working in menial jobs, struggling to sustain themselves.
In April, Mr. Préval put the death toll at more than 300,000.
