(教材P38)In the words of Professor Stephen Hawking，artificial intelligence will be“either the best，or the worst thing，ever to happen to humanity”．
用斯蒂芬•霍金教授的话来说，人工智能“要么是人类历史上最好的事物，要么就是最糟糕的事物”。
句式分析：句中either…or…连接两个表语，表示“不是……就是……；或者……或者……”。
[例1] I’m going to try to go to either Montreal or Ottawa University，as both are supposed to have good Physics Departments.
我想去蒙特利尔大学或渥太华大学，因为这两所大学的物理系都很棒。

[造句] 不是我父母就是我哥正待在家里。

[知识拓展]
(1)either…or…表示“不是……就是……；或者……或者……”，相对应的反义短语为neither…nor…“既不……也不……”，两者都常用来连接两个平行结构。
(2)连接两个并列主语时，谓语动词要和临近的主语保持一致，即遵循“就近一致”原则。
(3)neither…nor…连接两个句子且置于句首时，(因neither和nor都是否定意义的词)前后两句都要用倒装语序。
(4)遵循“就近原则”的并列连词还有：
not only…but also…不但……而且……
not…but… 不是……而是……
…or… ……或者……
①This phenomenon is neither good nor bad.
②Has(have)either he or his classmates known the secret?

2.used to do sth.过去常常做某事
(教材P38)It used to feel like 50 per cent of my time was spent researching new restaurants.
我过去常常感觉好像自己有50%的时间都花在了寻找新餐馆上。
句式分析：句中used to do sth.表示“过去常常做某事”(指过去的习惯或状态)，现在已经不再做了。
[例1] I used to cook，but I don’t have time to cook now.
我以前经常做饭，但是现在没时间做了。
[例2] Tom used to be a couch potato，but he works out everyday now.
汤姆过去是个电视迷，但现在每天都健身。
[造句] 在星期天，他过去常常早起去钓鱼。

[知识拓展]
(1)used to do sth.表示“过去常常做某事”
否定形式：didn’t use to或used not (usedn’t)to
疑问形式：Did…use to…？或Used… to…?
反意疑问形式：肯定句，usedn’t/didn’t＋主语？
(2)be/get used to (doing)sth.表示“习惯于(做)某事”，现在依旧在做
be used to do sth.表示“被用于做某事”，是被动语态
①It can be used to do the same thing.

3.条件状语从句的省略
(教材P39)If not，it might wipe us all out!
如果不这样的话，它可能会把我们都消灭！
句式分析：句中if not 是if we’re not lucky的省略形式，表示否定意义。
[例1] It is OK to leave an electrical appliance on so long as you are using it —if not，turn it off!
只要你在使用电器设备，你便可以把它开着，如果不用就把它关掉！
[例2] I think there’s a bullet train at midday.If not，you will have to wait till 2 o’clock in the afternoon.

[造句] 如果还没有，这就是你要做的第一步。
If not，this should be your first step.
[知识拓展]
(1)在时间状语从句和条件状语从句中，如果从句主语与主句主语一致或从句主语为it，且谓语动词为be动词时，则可以省去其主语和be动词。
(2)if构成的省略形式：
if not 如果不这样的话，不然，表示否定意义
if so 如果这样的话，表示肯定意义
if any 如果有的话
if ever 如果有过或发生过的话
if necessary/possible如果有必要/可能
①Are you ready? If so，let’s set off at once.
②She wants to go with us，if possible.
③Wash it in water and pick out the small particles，if there are any.

④I’ll go if you are going.If you aren’t going，I’d rather stay at home.
→I’ll go if you are going.If not，I’d rather stay at home.
五、难句分析
1.Every recommendation she gives me is great since she can predict if I will like a particular restaurant.
分析：句中she gives me为省略关系代词that的定语从句，修饰先行词recommendation，since she can predict if I will like a particular restaurant 为since引导的原因状语从句，其中if引导宾语从句。
译文：她给我的每一个推荐都很好，因为她可以预测我是否会喜欢某一家餐厅。
2.Millenniumbutterfly，you say how great it would be to have selfdriving cars，but what about all the taxi drivers who would lose their jobs?
分析：句中but连接表示转折关系的并列句，第一个分句中how great it would be to have selfdriving cars 为how引导的宾语从句，第二个分句中who will lose their jobs 为关系代词who引导的定语从句，修饰先行词drivers。
译文：千禧蝶，你说拥有自动驾驶汽车有多好，但是所有将失去工作的出租车司机怎么办？
