英语学习中，常常会有不善不同目前分词做形容词和过去分词做形容词的使用方法和词意的状况，请看下列例句：
A. interestedinteresting
1. He is interested in that book.
2. The book is interesting
B. excitedexciting
1. We were very excited on hearing the news.
2. The exciting news was soon spread all over the country.
C. boredboring
1. The audience was bored by the speaker's empty talk.
2.The boring lecture made my sleepy.
7. they listen to their walkmans while the teacher is talking to them.
listen是一个不及物动词，后面需要加介词to才能跟宾语，如：听音乐（listen to music），听收音机（listen to the radio），听天气预报（listen to the weather forecast）。请注意，不可以扔掉介词to.
walkman指随身听。注意其复数形式是在后面加-s，而不是把man改成men.
8. Kids who have no idea what being polite means will pay the price sooner or later.
have no idea of sth. 意思是对不理解。have no idea后面接从句，常可省去of，如：
1）He had no idea what was likely to happen next. （他没办法预料接下去会出现那种情况。）
2）I have no idea why she left.（我不了解她为何离去。）
polite是形容词，前面需要用系动词，而在what从句中，做主语用的系动词be则要变成being.如：
Being honest means telling no lies. （诚实意味着不撒谎话。）
句子中的who引导的是一个定语从句，修饰kids，而what则引导了一个同位语从句，对idea的内容加以讲解。如：
1）I have no idea what will turn up.
2）I have no idea how soon they will arrive.
3）Word came that they had succeeded.
pay the price意思是付出代价。如：
They will pay the price for their ignorance2. （他们将为我们的无知付出代价。）
sooner or later意思是早晚，如：
You will understand me sooner or later. （你早晚会理解我的。）
9. When they join the work force， their employers3 and associates alike4 will soon realize that the behavior of these rude young people is closer to that of animals than civilized5 people.
associate在本句中做名词，意思是同事。
alike一般做形容词用，如：The two brothers are very much alike. （这两兄弟很相象。）在本句子，alike作副词用，意思是一样地。
1）Teachers and students alike will have a 3-week holiday. （老师和学生一样或有为期三周的假期。）
2）The book is interesting and instructive alike. （这书既有趣，也有教益。）
句子中的第一个that引导的是一个宾语从句。第二个that则用来替代前面出现过的名词，本句中that替代前面的behavior，意思是这类粗鲁的青年的行为更接近动物的行为。
1）By 1990， production in the area is expected to double that of 1980.
2）The weather in Shanghai is milder than that of Beijing.
10. Being polite and showing respect can give us an edge.
Edge在本句中的意思是优势（advantage），如：
1）The edge was with our team. （优势在大家队这边。）
2）Since he obtained the edge， he was sure to win. （既然他获得了优势，他必然会赢。）
3）have an edge over sb. （胜过某人）
4）maintain a nuclear edge （维持核优势）
