Men have sorrow and joy; they part or meet again;
The moon is bright or dim and she may wax or wane.
There has been nothing perfect since the olden days.
So let us wish that man
Will live long as he can!
Though miles apart, we'll share the beauty she displays.
—Xu Yuanchong
人有悲欢离合，月有阴晴圆缺，此事古难全。
但愿人长久，千里共婵娟。
But in the crowd once and again，
I look for her in vain，
When all at once I turn my head,
I find her there where lantern light is dimly shed.
—Xu Yuanchong
众里寻他千百度，蓦然回首， 那人却在，灯火阑珊处。
Amid the boom of firecrackers a year has come to an end,
And the spring wind has wafted warm breath to the wine.
While the rising sun shines over each and every household,
People would put up new peachwood charm for the old.
—Xu Yuanchong
爆竹声中一岁除，春风送暖入屠苏。

（一）宾语从句
在句中作宾语的从句叫宾语从句。本单元主要学习由that, whether / if引导的宾语从句。掌握宾语从句的引导词、时态及语序是学习宾语从句的关键。
仔细观察下面的例句，然后补全结论部分所缺的内容。
一、关联词
【例句】
1. I think (that) math is difficult.
She said (that) she would leave a note on the desk.
陈述句作宾语时，宾语从句用that引导。它在只起连接作用，没有实际意义，在从句中不充当任何成分，因此常可省略。
2. I don’t know whether / if I should take his advice.
He wants to know if/ whether you are a doctor.
一般疑问句作宾语时，宾语从句用if或whether引导。它们在句子中的意思是是否, 在从句中不充当任何成分，但不可省略。
一般来说，在宾语从句中if与whether可以互换使用。但在特殊情况下，两者不能互换。只能用whether，不能用if引导的情况：
1) 在介词的后面
e.g. I’m thinking of whether we should go to see the film.
2) 与or not直接连用
e.g. I don’t know whether or not they can get there on time.
二、语序
3. I don't know whether / if she will go to Beijing tomorrow.
that, whether / if 引导的宾语从句要用陈述句语序。
三、时态
