猶如幾個(gè)時(shí)辰
As a band instructor at an elementary school, I require my students to turn in practice sheets signed by their parents so I can be sure they are putting in enough time. I had to laugh, however, when one parent wrote on her child's sheet, “Practiced 17 minutes, but it seemed like hours.
Notes:
(1) band n.樂隊(duì)
(2) instructor n.指揮
(3) turn in上交;歸還
(4) signed by their parents:由他們的父母簽名的。這是一個(gè)分詞短語作定語修飾sheets.
(5) so I can be sure they are putting in enough time:這樣我才能確定他們投入了足夠的時(shí)間。這是so that 引導(dǎo)的目的狀語從句,其中that省略。
