37. there was a time when…中的 when 引导什么从句？

【教材原句】

I can well remember thatthere was a time when a deep blue sky, the song of the birds, moonlight and flowers could never have kept me spellbound. (p.2)

译文：我记得非常清楚，曾经有一段时间，湛蓝的天空、鸟儿的歌唱、月光和鲜花，从未令我心迷神往过。

【用法说明】

There is [was] a time when… 是英语中一个很有用的句式，意为“有……的时候”“有一段……的时间”，其中的 when 为关系副词，引导定语从句，修饰名词 a time。如：

Is there a time when the conference room is free? 会议室有空着的时候吗?

There was a time whenyou could get a good three-course meal for less than a pound. 那年头吃一顿三道菜的好饭还花不了一英镑。

◆此句式也有一些变体。如：

There comes a time when you have to make a choice. 你必须作出抉择的时候到了。

There comes a time when dying seems preferable to staying alive. 有的时候觉得死了似乎比活着好。

38. for example 可用于引出句子吗

【教材原句】

For example, when it was so warm, I stayed awake on purpose until half past eleven one evening in order to have a good look at the moon for once by myself. （p.2）

译文：比如说，有一天晚上天气很暖和，我故意熬到晚上11点半都不睡觉，为的就是能独自好好地看看月亮。

【用法说明】

◆for example 主要用于举例，其意为“例如”“比如”。它所罗列的例子通常是一个词或短语（通常置于例子之前，有时也置于例子之后）。如：

There are many big cities in Europe, for example, London, Paris and Rome. 欧洲有许多大城市，如伦敦、巴黎和罗马。

The government has reduced spending in several areas, for example in the construction of highways. 政府已经在几个方面削减了开支，例如高速公路的建设。

A lot of us want to leave now—Bill, for example (=for example, Bill). 我们很多人现在都想走——比如，比尔就是一例。

I know many women who have a career and a family Alison for example. 我知道有许多妇女能事业家庭兼顾——艾莉森就是其中之一。

◆但有时也可以是句子。如：

Many young people are taking radio courses in English. There is the boy next door, for example. 许多年轻人在学广播英语课程，比如隔壁那个男孩就是。

Each situation is different. For example, a man with a rich wife doesn’t have to work. 情况各有不同，例如，娶了有钱妻子的男人就不必工作。

For example, we are to have less clothes, coal and food even than we have had and less petrol than we expected. 譬如，我们将会比现在所拥有的衣服、煤和食物少，比我们预期的汽油少。

【用法补充】

1. on purpose 是什么意思？

on purpose 的意思是“有意地”“故意地”。如：

Did he do soon purpose or by chance? 他这样做是有意的还是无意的？

She broke the dish on purpose just to show her anger. 她故意打破碟子以表示她的愤怒。

2. in order to 是什么意思？

in order to 的意思是“为了……”，后接动词原形，引出目的状语。如：

We used the computer to save time. 我们用电脑节约时间。

He came in quietly in order not to wake his wife. 他轻轻进来，以免把他妻子吵醒。

◆若不定式主语与句子主语不一致，则用 in order for sb to do sth。如：

We work hard in order for our son to go to college. 我们努力工作是为了让儿子上大学。
