5.while is somewhat ambiguous,since it might indicate simultaneity rather than contrast og 131 while是subordinator之一,前后链接的成分不是同一个逻辑层次的。while引导的句子和主句层次关系上,主句更重要。 对比同级连词and,but,nor等,同级连词前后衔接的部分逻辑重要性上是基本相当的。 语义上while表示转折对比甚至转折意思。但是语气程度上没有whereas那么重

8.og上说 M'career is preferable to the career of M 查了下关于 ’s和 of两种表示从属关系 的所有格的区别 1)单数名词和不以-s结尾的复数名词在词尾加’s(以s结尾的只需在s后加’)构成所有格,主要用于有生命的东西 2)凡不能加’s的名词,都可以与of构成短语,来表示所有关系。无生命名词的所有格也可以这么用 所以看出来,有生命的表示所属的时候一般加’s 而无生命的一般就是of+N M是个人,所以才有og上所说的M'career is preferable to the career of M og135
