Unit 1 Looking forwards
课文回顾：
Language appreciation
1. Whether big or small, what all our choices have in common is that
they lead to specific consequences.
[句式分析] whether ... or...意为“不管...还是...”, 引导让步状语， what all our choices have in common 是what引导的主语从句， what 在从句中作表语；that引导表语从句。
[尝试翻译] 无论大小，我们所有的选择都有一个共同点，那就是它们都会导致特定的结果。
Language appreciation
2. Like the writer, all we can do is look backwards “with a
sigh” and imagine what could have been.
[句式分析] we can do 为省略关系词that的定语从句，修饰先行词all；look backwards “with a sigh” and imagine 为省略不定式符号to的动词不定式短语作表语；what could have been是what引导的宾语从句，作imagine的宾语。
[尝试翻译] 和作者一样，我们所能做的就是叹息着回顾过去，想象本来会发生什么。
Language appreciation
3. This sigh, this wondering whether we made the right choice, is understandable.
[句式分析] This sigh, this wondering whether we made the right choice在句子中作主语，其中whether引导同位语从句，解释说明动名词wondering的具体内容。
[尝试翻译] 这种叹息，这种怀疑我们是否做出了正确的选择，是可以理解的。
