　　e.g. Don't say yes at a meeting and go back on your words and say no after it.

　　不要開會時贊成，會后又反悔說不贊成。

　　e.g. How could you think I would go back on my words? I am not his sort, who is fickle andalways blowing hot and cold.

　　e.g. These two pictures are just the same as one another.

　　這兩幅畫彼此完全相同。

　　第四， 語法點撥

　　1. You used to call me on the carpet and buy something which is much cheaper.

　　要點解析：此句是一個由并列連詞連接了2個分句，在第二個分句中含有一個定語從句：which is muchcheaper，修飾先行詞something。Something是不定代詞，表示物，那么表示物的可以用作引導(dǎo)詞的that和which中只能選擇which。

　　2. You will know what I feel when you become a father, having a son who is exactlythe same as you.

　　要點解析：此句是含有現(xiàn)在分詞短語的復(fù)合句，現(xiàn)在分詞短語是：having a son who is exactly the sameas you，它充當時間狀語。在這個現(xiàn)在分詞短語中含有一個由指代人的引導(dǎo)詞who引導(dǎo)的定語從句：who isexactly the same as you，它修飾其先行詞son。
