我们分手后我每天都想你。 In some places, red indicates sadness, as in South Africa,
where it is the colour of mourning.
在一些地方红色含有悲伤的意味，比如在南非，红色表
示哀悼。
2. as 在这里表示“例如”，是为前面提到的 in some places
举例说明情况。
I like wearing an apron for dirty work, as when cleaning.
干脏活时，如打扫卫生，我喜欢穿围裙。
关键点拨：as 与 such as 表示“举例”的区别
as 用于举单个例子; 如果需要举多个例子, 通常用 such as
They are mammals _________ lions and tigers. such as Decades ago in the USA and the UK, yellow ribbons were
worn on blouse collars or sleeves as a sign of hope by
women waiting for their husbands or boyfriends to come
home safely from war.
在数十年前的美国和英国，等待丈夫或男友从战争中平安
归来的女士们在上衣领或袖子上系上黄色缎带，作为希望
的标志。The exact opposite meaning is found in Egypt, where
yellow symbolizes lost hope because it is the colour of
mourning, and where in the Middle Ages, actors wore
yellow to show that the character they were playing was
dead.
在埃及，黄色的意义则截然相反，它象征着丧失希望，因
为黄色是哀悼时用的颜色；在中世纪的埃及，演员穿黄色
的衣服来扮演死者。Usually associated with positive meanings, green is most
strongly connected to life.
绿色通常与积极的意思相关，与生命联系最密切。
associated with positive meanings 和 most strongly
connected to life 都用来说明 green 的特点和性质。将
associated … 提到句首是为了更引人注意，同时也可以
使谓语部分不至于太长而显得累赘。In ancient Egypt, green symbolized hope and spring, which
is the time of year when things in natures start to grow
after a long winter.
在古埃及，绿色象征着希望和春天，而春天是一年中自然
万物在漫长冬季后复苏的时候。The idiom ‘ in the black ’ also conveys the positive meaning

Work is uncountable in most cases.
在大多数情况下，work 是不可数的。
