However, in the 17th century when Francis Bacon suggested that this type of thinking was the way to gain knowledge, he was going against the views of the day.然而,在17世纪,当弗兰西斯.培根表示这种思考方式是获取知识的途径时,他背离了当时的观念。e.g. His expression suggested that he was very tired.他的表情暗示出他很累。
She went against her mother’s wishes.
她违背了母亲的意愿。时间状语从句暗示,表明,其后的宾语从句用陈述语气违背,与…不符2. At that time, people believed more in religion than in facts and people like Galileo Galilei, who proved scientific ideas such as “the earth is not the centre of the universe”, were often punished by the church with no one coming to their defence.那时,人们相信宗教多于相信事实,像伽利略.伽利莱那样证明了诸如“地球不是宇宙的中心”等科学观点的人常常被教会惩罚,却没有人为他们辩解。并列句共同修饰with 复合结构, 作伴随状语 eg.

So much of our knowledge and understanding of the world today is due to people like Bacon and Galilei, who were brave enough to step out from the shadows of conventional thought in order to find the kingdom of knowledge that today’s civilization is built upon.我们今天对世界拥有这么多的知识和理解,都要归功于培根和伽利略这样的人,为了发现开创现代文明的知识王国,他们勇敢地从传统思想的阴影中走出来。共同修饰people目的状语that引导的定语从句,修饰the kingdom of knowledge Post-reading activities Group WorkWork in pairs.
