26 3. The fact that she looked like a sensitive, friendly girl didn’t matter. If anything, it made me even angrier. 虽然她看上去是一个敏感、友善的女孩子，但这并没有用，反而令我更加恼火。 1）句中that 所引导的是一个同位语从 句。 紧跟在名词之后并说明该名词是指何人何物的词语称为同位语。

27 句中的the father of one of my co-workers, 是Mr. Wang 的同位语。
Mr. Wang, the father of one of my co-workers, is 94 years old and is still healthy. 王先生，我同事的父亲，今年94岁了还很健康。 句中的the father of one of my co-workers, 是Mr. Wang 的同位语。 注：同位语从句与定语从句在结构上很相似，但同位语从句是用来解释先行词，表示其内容的；而定语从句则是用来修饰先行词，说明其性质和特征的。

28 I made a promise that if anyone set me free I would make him very rich.
我许下一个诺言：谁能还我自由，我就使他很富有。 （同位语从句） The mother made a promise that pleased all her children. 母亲许了一个使孩子们全都非常高兴的诺言。 （定语从句）

29 2）if anything 如果有什么不同的话。如：

31 1)表示现在或未来的虚拟形式。如： If I were you, I would teach him a good lesson. 我若是你，我就要好好教训他一顿。 （我不可能是你。） 2)表示过去的虚拟形式。如： If the weather had been nice yesterday, we would have gone for the picnic. 如果昨天天气好的话，我们就去野餐了。 （事实是昨天天气很坏。）
