【分析】① all but = almost; nearly表示“幾乎”。它是個含有副詞功能的詞條。 ② all but… 有時(shí)可表示“差一點(diǎn)就…”的意思。③ all but…有時(shí)也表示“除…外,全部都…”的意思,這時(shí)all but = all except。
2. That little bridge is anything but safe. 那座小橋一點(diǎn)也不安全。
【分析】① anything but=not at all; far from, 表示強(qiáng)烈否定,是“決不”的意思。② anything but有時(shí)也可以表示“除…之外的任何…”等意思。
3. It is far from all of the students who are able to speak Chinese. 并不是所有的學(xué)生都講中文。

5. 協(xié)力成功式
Great men are rarely isolated mountain-peaks; they are summits of ranges. (T. W. Higginson)

【點(diǎn)評】這是一個絕佳的句子用在最后一段的開頭,例如可以這樣寫:Just as T. W. Higginson said, “Great men are rarely isolated mountain-peaks; they are summits of ranges.” We should make efficient use of the wisdom to seek the best solution for this.
6. 前人種樹,后人乘涼式

我們一生應(yīng)該這樣地生活和勞動,使給予我們的種子能在下一代開花,使給予我們的花朵能在下一代結(jié)果,這就是我們所說的進(jìn)步的意義。(比徹)
【點(diǎn)評】這是such that句型的一個復(fù)雜變體,我們可以欣賞一下,高手可以嘗試使用。
