2. the的变音：theuniverse/the endless

言之有物

1. If I were... 虚拟语气

If I was...为不严谨语法

英语中叫做“were式虚拟”的这种虚拟语气，通过扭曲时态形式来表示与实际情况相反的虚构假设。在这种虚拟语气的用法中,动词be至少要倒退一个时态成为“过去时态”的were（在虚拟语气中一般不用was、专is、am、are,倒推一个时态以后都写成were）

If I were you,I would invite him to the party.

如果我是你，我会邀请他参加聚会。

2. a choice between A and B A与B之间的选择

It was a choice between going to university and finding a job.

这是上大学和找工作之间的选择。

He needs to make a choice between the apple and the orange.

他需要在苹果和桔子之间做出选择。

the endless pursuit of self-perfection

the pursuit of the ideal life

对理想人生的追求

图片源自《当幸福来敲门》

活学活用

请用 a choice between A and B随意造句
