November is used to emphasize the time adverbial of in November,

modifying we tend to think. Which leads a relative clause, modifying

a way.

Translation: 因此，我们在十一月里常常会想办法来表示对志愿者们的感谢。Example: October in China brings the National Day, and therefore it’s in October that Chinese people think of different ways in which they show their love to their motherland.

2. (Para. 2) I like to hold potlucks at the office and invite volunteers to make them feel like part of the team.

Analysis: The infinitive to make them serves as the adverbial of purpose of the sentence, with feel like acting as the object complement of make them. Translation: 我喜欢在办公室里设百乐餐，邀请志愿者来参加，让他们感到自己是本团队中的一员。

Unit 2

SectionⅣ Passage 2: How can you say “sorry” and really mean it?

Section Ⅴ Cultural tips

Information Related to the Reading Passage

Alliteration

Alliteration (头韵) is the repeated occurrence of the same consonant sound at the beginning of several words in the same phrase or sentence, just as in “ Forgiveness doesn’t mean forgetting” in the passage. A good use of alliteration, usually a pair of alliterated words with similar or opposite meanings, could produce a stronger effect. The following are some examples.

1. chance and challenge 机遇挑战

2. clean and clear 清清楚楚

3. criss and cross沟沟坎坎

4. cues and clues蛛丝马迹

5. fight or flight战还是退

6. mercy or murder慈悲还是谋害

7. pets or pests宠物还是瘟疫

8. time and tide 时光流逝

9. virtue and vice 美德与恶行

10. wax and wane 兴衰起伏

Language Points

1. (Para. 1) Too often we just say the words “ I’m sorry” and expect that to be good enough.

Analysis: Too often is put at the beginning of the sentence to emphasize the adverbial of frequency. And that is a pronoun referring to we just say the words “I’m sorry”. Translation: 我们常常只是说出“对不起”这几个字就觉得足够了。其实并非如此。

Example: Too often we have a good sight to see the world and expect that to be quite enough.

2. (Para. 1) To say you are sorry and not admit wrongdoing is empty…

Analysis: The infinitive phrase To say you are sorry and not admit wrongdoing is used as the subject of the sentence. The second to ( not to admit ) is omitted. The word wrongdoing is a compound noun formed by a verb phrase of do wrong. Here wrong is used as a noun and serving as the object of the verb do.

Translation: 光说你对不起却不认错，这是空话。

Example: Tosay you are fond of travel and not enjoy sightseeing sounds strange. 3. (Para. 3) Be specific and tell them that you know what you did to them. Analysis: This is an imperative sentence, in which the two verbs be and tell act as the predicate. And tell has them as an indirect object and tha t-clause as a direct object. In the clause, what also leads a object clause..

Translation: 一定要具体并且告诉人家你知道自己对他们做错了什么。Example: Be calm and tell yourself that you know what you should do in such a situation.
