remembering is that our work, when done well, will not only help us make a living but
also help make a life for ourselves and for others .( P31)
【分析】该句结构较复杂, wherever .… and whatever .…是两个___________, 主句的主语是 __________, worth remembering 充当___________, 系动词 is 后面是由 that 引导的_______从句。在表语从句中, 主干结构是 our work will not only …. but also …,其中插人 when done well 这一_______从句,而 when 后省略___________。
