Analyse the Text

What is success? Ann Landers’ articles appear every day in a large number of newspapers. She is said to have thousands

① ②of readers. People write to tell her their problems, to ask for help, and sometimes to ask her to pass on information to other readers. Each day the newspapers print a few of these letters with Ann’s answers. Here is an example:

1 、 She is said to have thousands of readers.

① ② ① She is said… 相当于 It is said that she has thousands of rea

ders. 或 People say that she has thousands of readers.

类似的句型还有： It is reported (thought, believed, announced, etc.)

② 本句的动词不定式用的是一般式 (to do) ，表示的动作与谓语动词表示的动作同时或几乎同时或在其后发生。e.g. We are glad to see her back.

He asked me to help him with his homework.

若动词不定式的动作发生在谓语动词表示的动作之前，则不定式用完成式 (to have done)

e.g. It’s nice to have met you.

He is said to have invented the machine by himself.

Dear Ann Landers:

A long time ago you published an articleabout success. Will you please run it again?

③The novel has run into ten editions.

e.g. Is that film still running? ①

According to Layer 2

What is Southern Banker’s purpose for

writing this letter ?

Dear Banker:

Success is a word with a thousand definitions. For some it

means power; for others it is fame or great achievements. A

great many people confuse success with money. But my mail

shows clearly [that there are thousands of rich people (who have

宾语从句 定语从句

“failed”) and / an equal number of “successes” (who don’t have

定语从句

much in the bank).] The following definition of success was sent

to me by a reader. △ I wish I had written it.

① 从句的动词如用过去式，则表示说话人当时存在的一桩憾事。

e.g. I wish I had stayed at home yesterday.

I wish that 是表示“愿望”的交际用语。宾语从句中的 that

常被省略，表示不可能实现的愿望，属虚拟语气。

e.g. I wish I were a bird.

I wish I had her telephone number.

② 如用过去完成式，则表示以前所发生的一件憾事。

③ 如表示将来难以实现的愿望，用 would+ 动词原形。 e.g. I wish he would try again.

He wishes I would help him.
