◆典句赏析

1.With TV,movies,computers,and online games becoming more and more popular,many teenagers like to stay at home by themselves rather than go out with their friends.随着电视、电影、电脑和网络游戏的日益普及，许多青少年喜欢独自窝在家里而不是和朋友们一起出去运动。

by themselves属于“介词+反身代词”结构，用作方式状语，表示“独自地”；rather than是固定搭配，译为“而不是”，表示与前面的动作相反。

2.Not only can they get more dates and become more popular,but also they can learn teamwork and make more friends.他们不仅能得到更多约会、使自己更受欢迎，而且还能学到团队合作精神、结识更多的朋友。

这是一个倒装句。not only...but also...为并列连词，意为“不仅……而且……”。当not only...but also...连接的是句子的并列成分，且not only位于句首时，通常要用倒装语序。

3.One of the biggest problems in our society today is overweight,which is not just a problem with adults.当今社会中一个最大的问题是肥胖，这一点不仅仅是成年人才有的问题。

which引导的是非限制性定语从句，对overweight做进一步解释。which引导的非限制性定语从句不仅可对先行词进行解释，还可对前面那个句子的意思做进一步解释。
