<3 俐媽好書推薦： And the Mountains Echoed
「追風箏的孩子」作者再一力作，大推！
裡面有好多很生動流暢的描述、精鍊的辭藻，而且也有好多高中重點單字及句型文法，俐媽想和大家分享，今天先推出Part I分享篇喔！
<3 劇情摘要重點單字：
poverty (n.) 貧窮
trade (v.) 交換；(n.) 貿易
set off (phrase) 出發
fateful (a.) 決定命運的
<3 重點句型：
It was in the 1990s that fughting at least brought...
--> 強調句用法：It was + 強調部分(可為人、物、地、時) + that...
It was me to whom the doctor spoke most often.
--> 此句亦為「強調句」，而片語speak to sb表「和...人說話」，介系詞to向前移到關代that之前，而因that前面不可有逗點及介系詞，因此that改為受格關代whom。
He called for his father again and again, a claw tightening itself around his windpipe.
--> 除了大家很熟悉的分詞構句，也要多學習一下獨立分詞構句。原句為：He called for his father..., and a claw tightened itself...，其中連接詞and被省略，主詞he以及a claw不相同，故a claw留下，再將動詞改為表主動的tightening。這是生動寫作的其中一種常見手法。
I felt as though I had been the one cuckolded.
--> as though即等於as if，表「彷彿」，為假設語氣的一種，所以與過去事實相反，要改用過去完成式(had been the one...)
What if he fell into a well, or got lost?
--> what if亦為假設語氣，時態一樣要退一步，文中原為現在式，故退成了過去式(fell into...got lost...)
I had little trouble carrying him for I was still young and able.
--> have trouble/problem/difficulty + Ving為固定句型，而文中的for是連接詞，表「因為」。
<3 重點片語：
take the initiative (phrase) 採取主動；先發制人 --> EEC寶貝，這可是這週上課的重點補充之一喔！
俐媽祝大家學習愉快！
as well as逗點 在 [請益] as well as加不加逗點- 看板Eng-Class - 批踢踢實業坊 的推薦與評價
大家好
想請問大家文法問題啊……
as well as 加不加逗點有沒有差別啊?
e.g.
(A) Miss Li as well as her students is looking forward to the spring vacation.
(B) Miss Li, as well as her students, is looking forward to the spring vacation.
聽到一個說法是(A)句as well as 等於and
可是那樣是不是就等於是把Miss Li跟her students 視為雙主詞，這樣不是要用
are嗎？確實也有找到網路資料說到as well as可以使主詞變成複合主詞，
所以要使用複數動詞。
可是這樣就不符合as well as 需要的verb agreement要對應到主詞Ａ。
而(B)句說法就將", as well as her students,"視為插入句，
所以重點為主詞A，所以verb agreement 對應主詞Ａ，這個倒是ＯＫ。
另外有沒有可能是as well as 加不加逗點根本就沒有差別，
只是說話者停頓處而已，類似",and"的用法？
大家有沒有什麼看法呢？
謝謝:)
