重点句子①

Such is human nature, that a great many people are often willing to sacrifice higher pay for the privilege of becoming white-collar worker. 许多人常常愿意放弃较高的薪水以换取做白领的殊荣,此乃人之常情。

Such 放在句首进行强调。that是such的具体内容,由于that引导的内容太长所以后置避免头重脚轻。

试着翻译

他永远不想原谅你,他原话就是这么说的。

思考一下↓


……

……

……

Such we're his words, that he would never forgive you.

重点句子②

This can give rise to curious situations, as it did in the case of Afred Bloggs who worked as a dustman. 这有时会引种种时态的现象,当清洁工的埃尔弗雷德·布洛格斯就是一个例子。

As it did 的it指的是上一句中的that 从句所指代的情况(a great many people are often willing to sacrifice.....) ,did指的是give rise to curious situations(引起时态的现象)
