Language points
1. 观察下列句子。
1) He found himself in a very dangerous situation.
2) He was climbing by himself.
3) He bandaged himself so that he would not lose too much blood.
4) We find ourselves “between a rock and a hard place”.
2. Aron is used to taking risks.
be used to 意为“习惯于”，其中to是介词，其后要接名词或V-ing形式。
He is used to walking to school.
他习惯步行上学。
used to do sth. “过去常常做某事”
I used to live in London.
我过去一直住在伦敦。
3. After losing his arm, he wrote a book called Between a Rock and a Hard Place. 失去手臂之后, 他写了一本名为《生死两难》的书。
“Between a Rock and a Hard Place 是一本书的书名， 可译作《生死两难》。其本身是英语中的一个固定习语，表示在艰难或危险的处境下“从两难中进行选择”， 意为“ 左右为难；进退两难”。
4. This means being in a difficult situation that you cannot seem to get out of.
它意思是“处于一个你似乎无法摆脱的困境中”。
1）此处mean 表示“……意思是；意为”，用来解释上句出现在书名中的习语的意思。如：
What do you mean? 你的意思是什么？
此外，mean 还可以表示“意味着”的意思。如：
…before we have to make a decision that could mean life or death.
在我们不得不做出可能意味着生死的决定之前……
2）a difficult situation that you cannot seem to get out of 和a decision that could mean life or death 均为定语从句。
在前者中，从句that you cannot seem to get out of 修饰名词 situation;
在后者中，从句that could mean life or death 修饰decision。
5. His love for mountain climbing is so great that he kept on climbing mountains even after this experience.
so...that... 表示“如此/这么……以致于……”，“ 常引导结果状语从句。其中so是副词，常可用来修饰形容词或副词。
他太小了而无法照顾好自己。
He is so young that he can’t look after himself well.
6. 观察以下两个句子，总结 so that， 和 so...that 的用法。
1) He bandaged himself so that he would not lose too much blood.
2) His love for mountain climbing is so great that he kept on climbing mountains even after this experience.
so that 既可引导目的状语从句又可引导结果状语从句。引导目的状语从句时可译为“为了”，引导结果状语从句时可译为“以便”。如：
I speak loudly so that all the students can hear me clearly. (目的状语从句)
Maria likes the woolen dress so that she decides to buy it immediately. (结果状语从句)
so... that...中的so是副词，常用来修饰形容词或副词，“如此……以致于……”。
主语 + 谓语 + so + adj. / adv. + that从句。
e.g. The boy ran so fast that I couldn’t catch him.
so + adj. + a(n) + 单数名词 + that从句。
e.g. It was so fine a day yesterday that we all went out for a picnic.
昨天天气很好，我们都出去野餐了。
