PASSAGE LEARNING

Language Points

1 Explanation of Difficult Sentences

1. (The title)

1) From Fat to Fit: From Fat to Fit is a health website. Here in the phrase of

from fit and fat the word being is omitted — From Being Fat to Being Fit.

2) Don't Wait Until Death Does Its Part: Not until is often used to mean

something to the effect that in Chinese

(别坐等某种结果来临，等到……时候就晚了。此标题可译为：不要坐等

死亡伸出魔爪。）

2. (Para. 3) Not only did I take its resiliency for granted, I was annoyed when a

physical problem, such as a cold or injury, kept me from doing what

I want.

Analysis: Not only is a negative phrase often used to begin a clause with an

inverted S + V order , as did I in the first clause. Very often “not only”

is correlated with “also” in the following clause.

Translation: 我不仅把其韧性看做是理所当然的，而且当身体出现一点小毛病，

如得了感冒或受了点小伤，使我没法去做想做的事，我便会大为光火。

Example: Not only did he take his parents' support for granted, he was (also)

angry when a delayed help, such as a slow response to his need of

money, kept him from buying what he wanted.

3. (Para. 3) Moreover, I was harshly critical when it failed to conform to standards

of beauty in the media.

Analysis: Note that the first to shows that an infinitive form is required to follow

fail, while the second to after the verb conform is a preposition,

requiring a noun (phrase) or a gerund to be its object, as in conform to

the standards of beauty in the media in the sentence above.

Translation: 更有甚者，当身体未能达到媒体宣传的审美标准时，我还会粗暴地对

其加以挑剔。

Example: Moreover, he would scream when his parents failed to listen to his

complaints.

4. (Para. 3) My overeating, lazy lifestyle, and excessive work had a negative impact

on my life, though not fatal.

Analysis: Though not fatal is an elliptical adverbial clause of concession. The

complete structure should be “though it is not fatal”. Such a clause could

also be put at the beginning of the main clause.

Translation: 我的饮食无度、懒散的生活方式和过度工作都给我的生命带来了虽不

致命但却很负面的影响。

Example: His parents' excessive love had a negative impact on his way of life,

though not very serious.

5. (Para. 4) Once I understand that it is in my own self-interest to take care of it,

I'm struggling to develop a positive relationship with my body.

Analysis: Once is used as a conjunction, meaning “immediately after”, or “as soon

as” and introducing an adverbial clause of time. The first it is the formal

subject of is in the that clause, while the second it is a pronoun referring

to my body.

Translation: 一旦明白了爱护身体是在维护自己的利益，我便努力去培养与我的身体

的积极关系。

Example: Once we realize that it is for our own good to protect the earth, we

begin to repair the harmonious relationship with Nature.
