The Age of Majority
In most countries，[1]turning①18 marks②the start of adulthood③．But what does reaching this milestone④，the age of majority，really mean？Will you be completely in charge of⑤ your own life and able to express yourself in new and exciting ways What new responsibilities will this freedom bring？Here，three young people tell us[2]what turning 18 means，or meant，to them．
[1]此处为动词-ing形式短语turning 18作主语，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。
[2]此处为what引导的宾语从句，what在从句中作宾语。
Bethany 16，Victoria，Australia
I can't wait to be 18．One reason is that although I've been working [3]ever since leaving school，I won't be voting in the next general election⑥．
Why？Because I still won't be old enough．Surely，if you're old enough to earn a wage⑦ and pay taxes⑧， you should be allowed to have a say⑨ on how the government spends them! I've also been taking driving lessons，and in fact I will be taking my driving test on the very⑩ day I turn 18．My mum worries about me being behind the wheel ．As an ambulance driver，
she's seen a lot of car accidents involving teenagers and thinks the legal age for getting a driving licence should be 21．But I think I'm already mature enough to understand [4]that driving a car also means taking responsibility for my life and the lives of other people．
[3]ever since leaving school(＝ever since I left school)在句中作时间状语。
[4]此处为that引导的宾语从句。在该宾语从句中，动词-ing形式短语driving a car作主语。
Lin Ning 19，Shanghai，China
I celebrated my 18th birthday just before I went to university．I expected to feel instantly different，[5]as if I had closed the door on my childhood and stepped into a whole new adult world．But it wasn't like that．When I woke up the next day，there were still [6]rules to obey and lessons to attend ．In fact，the change has been more subtle and gradual [7]than I imagined．Instead of being the selfish teenager [8]I used to be，I have begun to feel more aware of other people and to develop a stronger sense of social responsibility．To give an example ，I will be
signing an organ donation agreement this time tomorrow．This was a big decision for me，so I asked my parents for their approval first．Turning 18 also changed the way [9]that society viewed me．I was really surprised when a bank contacted me with a credit card offer．Of course，I would like to have more freedom with money and no doubt I will be getting a credit card at some point ，but I currently don't have a steady income ，so getting a credit card might tempt me to spend more money than I have!
[5]此处为as if引导的方式状语从句，从句使用了虚拟语气，表示与过去事实相反的情况。
[6]此处不定式to obey和to attend作后置定语，分别修饰名词rules和lessons。
[7]此处为than引导的比较状语从句。
[8]此处为省略了关系代词that的限制性定语从句，关系代词在定语从句中作表语。
[9]此处为that引导的限制性定语从句，先行词为the way。that可以换成in which，也可以省略。
Morgan 20，Florida，the US
People say that 18 marks a new chapter in our lives，and [10]that we should become more independent．I used to believe this，but the reality for me has been very different．[11]I assumed I'd already have a well-paid job and that I'd be moving into a rented apartment as soon as I turned 18，but how wrong I was！My librarian 's salary means that I'll be living at home with my parents for a while longer．Because I contribute to the household bills and my commute to work is quite
expensive，I [12]find it hard to save any money．I'll be starting a new job next month，however，so maybe things will get easier．I know I could get a bank loan to pay the deposit on my very own apartment，but I don't feel ready to make that kind of commitment ，and I do like my mom's cooking．I guess some responsibilities are more about attitude than age．
[10]此处为that引导的宾语从句，作say的宾语，此处的that通常不能省略。一个动词后接两个或两个以上that引导的宾语从句时，第一个引导词that可以省略，第二个及第二个之后的引导词that通常不可省略。
[11]本句中but连接两个并列分句。第一个分句是主从复合句，I assumed是主句，assumed后接两个that引导的宾语从句，第一个that已省略；第二个宾语从句中，as soon as引导时间状语从句，意为“一……就……”。
[12]此处it作形式宾语，hard作宾语补足语，不定式短语to save any money为真正的宾语。
成年
在大多数国家，进入18岁便意味着成年。但是到达成年这一里程碑到底意味着什么呢？你将完全主宰自己的生活吗？你能够用新奇的、激动人心的方式来表达自己吗？获得这种自由又会带来什么新的责任呢？接下来，有三位年轻人会为我们讲述年满18岁对他们意味着什么，或是曾经意味了什么。
贝萨妮 16岁，澳大利亚维多利亚州
我简直等不及想要到18岁了。其中一个原因是虽然我一毕业就工作了，但是我依然不能在下一届大选中投票。为什么？因为我依然不满18岁。但是我认为如果一个人已经工作并且交税了，那他应该对政府在支配税收方面有一定的话语权！我也一直在学习驾驶，并且我会在18岁当天就去考驾照。妈妈十分担心我开车，作为一名救护车司机，她目睹过太多涉及青少年的车祸，她认为考驾照的法定年龄应该推迟到21岁。但是我觉得自己已经足够成熟，知道开车也意味着要对自己和他人的生命负责。
林宁 19岁，中国上海
上大学前我刚满18岁。我曾经期待马上会有不一样的感觉，就好像自己关闭了童年的大门，踏进一个全新的成人世界。但是事实并非如此。第二天我醒来时，仍然有需要遵守的规则，需要参加的课程。事实上，这种变化比我想象的更微小，更平缓。相比自己之前那个自私的青少年角色，我已经开始更多地关注别人，并且去培养更强烈的社会责任感。比如说，明天这个时候我将会签署器官捐
赠意向书。这对我来说是一个重大的决定，因此我首先征求了父母的同意。满18岁后，社会对待我的方式也改变了。有家银行给我打电话让我办理信用卡的时候，我非常惊讶。虽然我想在花钱方面更为自由，而且毫无疑问我将在未来的某个时间获得一张信用卡，但是我现在还没有稳定的收入，所以现在办理的话可能会让我透支！
摩根 20岁，美国佛罗里达州
人们都说18岁意味着翻开人生的新篇章，我们应该变得更独立。我曾经也这样认为，但是事实并非如此。我以为我一到18岁就能有一份薪水不错的工作，能搬进自己租的公寓，我是多么异想天开呀！作为一个图书馆管理员，我的工资只够我继续长时间和父母住在一起。因为我要分担家庭账单，而且我的通勤费用很高，所以我发现攒钱非常困难。不过下个月我会开始一份新工作，也许情况能有所好转。我知道我可以通过贷款来支付购买自己公寓的订金，但我还无法向银行做出这种重大的承诺，而且我真的很喜欢吃妈妈做的饭。我觉得要想负起一些责任，更多的是关乎态度，而不是年龄。
