Native English speakers can understand each other even if they dont speakthe same kind of English.这里的even if they dont speak the same kind of English是让步状语从句，整个句子可以翻译成“以英语作为母语的人，即使他们所讲的语言不尽相同，也可以互相交流”。even if等于even though，意思是“即使、尽管”，引导让步状语从句。Even if we have learned “even thoug

40、Believe it or not, what I said just now is true.信不信由你，我刚才说的是真的。4. The US is a large country in which many different dialects are spoken.这里的in which many different dialects are spoken是由介词in+which引导的定语从句，修饰先行词country，介词in也可以放在定语从句中，即which many different dialects are spoken in。整个句子可以翻译成“美国是一个大国，国内说着许许多
41、多的方言”。They went to a large garden in which were many green trees and red flowers.他们来到一个大花园，里面长着许多红花绿树。5.

So why has English changed over time?句子中的over相当于throughout(a period)或during，意思是“贯穿（一时间段）”，所以整个句子可译成“
43、那么，英语在一段时间里为什么会起变化呢？”。Over the years he has become more patient.这几年他越来越有耐心。Rick came to town over the weekend.瑞克周末到城里来过。7. Actually, it was based more on German than present day English.句子中base sth. on sth. (to use sth. as grounds, evidence, etc. for sth. else)，意思是“以某事物为另一事物的根据、证据等”，也常用be based on的形
44、式。因此，该句可翻译成“实际上，当时的英语更多的是以德语为基础的，而现代英语不是”。He based his hopes on the good news we had yesterday.他把希望寄托在我们昨天得到的好消息上。This novel is based on fact.这部小说是以事实为根据的。Step 6 ConsolidationShow the exercises on the screen or give out test papers.1.
