Over time I have been changed quite a lot. I began as a calculating machine in France in 1642. Although I was young I could simplify difficult sums. I developed very slowly and it took nearly two hundred years before I was built as an analytical machine by Charles Babbage. After I was programmed by an operator who used cards with holes, I could “think” logically and produce an answer quicker than any person. At that time it was considered a technological revolution and the start of my “artificial intelligence”. In 1936 my real father, Alan Turing, wrote a book about how I could be made to work as a “universal machine” to solve any difficult mathematical problem. From then on, I grew rapidly both in size and in brainpower. By the 1949s I had grown as large as a room, and I wondered if I would grow any larger. However, this reality also worried my designers. As time went by, as was make smaller. First as a PC(personal computer) and then as a laptop, I have been used in offices and homes since the 1970s.These changes only became possible as my memory improved. First it was stored in tubes, then on transistors and later on very small chips. As a result I totally changed my shape. As I have grown older I have also grown smaller. Over time my memory has developed so much that, like an elephant, I never forget anything I have been told! And my memory became so large that even I couldnt believe it! But I was always so lonely standing there by myself, until in early 1960s they gave me a family connected by a network. I was able to share my knowledge with others through the World Wide Web.Since the 1970s many new applications have been found for me. I have become very important in communication, finance and trade. I have also been put into robots and used to make mobile phones as well as help with medical operations. I have even been put into space rockets and sent to explore the Moon and Mars. Anyhow, my goal is to provide humans with a life of high quality. I am now truly filled with happiness that I am a devoted friend and helper of the human race! 本句中before 引導時間狀語從句。before引導時間狀語從句時可以根據(jù)語境譯作“過了(時間)才，還沒來得及就，不知不覺就”。It was a long time before I went to sleep last night.昨天夜里過了很久我才睡著。 “It was時間段before.”表示“過了多久才”。從句常用一般過去時?！癐t was not long before.”意為“不久就”。從句常用一般過去時。“It will not be long before.”表示“不久就會”。從句常用一般現(xiàn)在時?！癐t will be時間段before.”表示“要過多久才”。從句常用一般現(xiàn)在時。It was three days before he came back.過了三天他才回來。It will be three days before he comes back.要過三天他才會回來It will not be long before we get used to the new school life.不久我們就會習慣新的學校生活。 句中as為連詞，意為“隨著”，引導時間狀語從句。As time goes on，its getting warmer and warmer.隨著時間的推移，天氣變得越來越暖和了。【提示】as與with均可表示“隨著”，但詞性不同。as是連詞，引導時間狀語從句；with是介詞，后接名詞/代詞分詞構(gòu)成with的復合結(jié)構(gòu)。 as a result/as a result ofas a result 表示“因此，結(jié)果”，單獨使用，作連接性狀語，起承上啟下的作用。as a result of 表示“由于的原因，作為的結(jié)果，”后接名詞或代詞，在句中常用來引導原因狀語。He stayed up too late last night; as a result,he didnt get up on time today.他昨晚熬夜了，結(jié)果今天沒有按時起床。He didnt get up on time today as a result of staying up too late last night.他今天沒有按時起床，原因是昨晚熬夜了。 so.that.“如此以至于”，引導結(jié)果狀語從句。與too to 句型可相互轉(zhuǎn)換e.g. He is so old that he cant carry the box.
