Language points
1. It’s really interesting, isn’t it
反意疑问句
本句是一个反意疑问句。反意疑问句是指在陈述句后附加一个简短问句，用于征询肯定或否定的意见，或者希望陈述句所说的内容得到证实。
一、反意疑问句的两种形式:
① 肯定的陈述句＋否定的简短问句
② 否定的陈述句＋肯定的简短问句
二、反意疑问句的答语:
反意疑问句的答语应符合事实。事实是肯定的，用yes；事实是否定的，用no。当句式是“前否定，后肯定”时，翻译要以事实为依据，yes翻译为“不” , no翻译为“是的”。
— They had milk and bread for breakfast, didn't they
— Yes, they did.
肯定
否定
— He isn’t a teacher, is he
— No, he isn’t. 是的，他不是。/ Yes, he is. 不，他是。
肯定
否定
2. I learned about the inventions that led to color movies, too.
这是一个含有定语从句的复合句。that led to color movies 是一个由that引导的定语从句，修饰前面的先行词inventions。that 在定语从句中做主语，不能省略，此处可以替换为which.
invention n. 发明；发明物
invention在此处作可数名词，意为“发明；发明物” ,此外, invention 还可作不可数名词，意为“发明”。其动词形式为invent, 意为“发明;创造”。inventor 作名词,意为“发明家”。
Edison invented a lot of things. He was a great inventor and he is famous for his inventions.
lead to n. 导致;通向;把……带到
All roads lead to Rome. 条条大路通罗马。
In given conditions, a bad thing can lead to good results.在一定条件下，一件坏事可以导致好的结果。
The man led us to our rooms.这个人把我们带到了我们的房间。
3. I’ve never been camping. 我从未野营过。
此句为现在完成进行时，这一时态的结构 has/have been + 现在分词，表示从过去某一时刻一直延续至今的动作。在本句中，说话人使用这一时态来强调自己至今从未有过野营的经历，欠缺这方面的经验。
e.g. We’ve been living like this ever since the birth of
my little brother.
自打我小弟弟出生，我们就一直这样生活。
