To be，or not to be-that is the question.
生还是死--这是个问题。
点拨：这句话是莎士比亚的戏剧《哈姆雷特》中的一个名句。意思可以理解为:To live or not to live-that is the question.对与这种名句名言类的，在平时写作中可以采用仿拟的修辞手法，给人印象深刻。根据家喻户晓的成语或谚语，临时更换其中的某个部分，造成新的成语或谚语；或者根据古今名言警句，在保持其原句不变的情况下，更换其中部分词语，这种修辞方式叫仿拟。

Words,words,only words,no matter from the heart.
空话，空话，只有空话，没有一点真心。
点拨：这句话出自莎士比亚的剧作TROILUS AND CRESSIDA。原句为:Words,words,mere words,no matter from the heart.其中no matter from the heart在此表示没有一点真心，matter在这里表示“实质的东西”。
联想：no matter还可以作“不论，不管”解，常用于引导让步状语从句，用于下列句式中:no matter+what (when,how,who,where等)引导的从句＋主句。由 no matter引导的让步状语从句也可以放置在主句之后。

辨析：no matter+wh-和wh-+ever的用法区别
“特殊疑问词＋ever”引导让步状语从句时，可用“no matter＋特殊疑问词”来替换。但是，前者还可以引导名词性从句，这时不能替换。

点拨：flesh 和 meat 的异同
flesh和meat都可以作“肉”解，但是含义不同，flesh通常指人或动物身上的肉，也可指供食用的兽类身上的肉（区别于鱼或禽的肉）。meat是指供食用的肉的总称，通常不包括鱼和家禽，在具体指明“牛肉”“鸡肉”“羊肉”“猪肉”等时应用“beef”,“chicken”,“mutton”或“pork”。
rs live on flesh.老虎以肉为主食。

you ever tasted the flesh of the snake?你曾吃过蛇肉吗？
You wanted justice,so you shall get justice,more than you wanted.

shall用于第一人称，可以表示将来。
shall arrive tomorrow.我们明天到。
shall用于第二、三人称，表示决心、规定、命令、警告、允诺、要求、义务等。

以上四个shall表示“规定”或“警告”。
shall leave now.你现在该离开了。
shall answer for his misdeeds.他应当为他的错误行为负责。
penalty shall not exceed two years in prison.
惩罚不应超过两年监禁。
’t shall get the answer this evening.
别着急，你今天晚上就可以得到答复了。
shall have a nice present for your birthday.
你过生日时将会得到一份精美的礼物。
ing shall stop us from carrying out this plan.
什么也不能阻止我们实现这项计划。
拓展：shall用于第一、三人称的疑问句，表示说话人征求对方意见。如:
Shall we go now?我们现在走可以吗？
Shall he come in?可以让他进来吗？
His life shall be at the mercy of the Duke.
他的生命全凭公爵处置。

点拨：宾语从句的引导词that的省略问题
在由that引导的宾语从句中，由于连词that只具有引导作用，并无具体意义，而且不在句中充当成分,因此在口语或非正式文体中常可省略，省略之后对原句并无影响。
said (that) she couldn’t go with him because she had a lot to do that night.她说因为那天晚上她有很多事要做，所以不能和他一起去了。
但是，在下列情况下，that最好不要省略:
1.主从句之间有插入语时。
says here,on this card,that it was used in plays.卡片上写着，它过去是演戏用的。
2.若出现两个或两个以上的that宾语从句，且由并列连词连接时，如所给的文中的句子，只有第一个连接词that可以省去，其余需保留。
如例文中的句子可以变成:
Bassanio told Antonio (that) he was in love with Portia,a rich and beautiful lady,and that she also loved him.
a said (that) she would go to meet Tom in person and that she wouldn’t tell anyone about the appointment.
