to poison glands in which the venom is secreted and stored.
此句可分解𤔡： 1.
Venomous snakes have teeth.(受詞) 什麼樣的teeth? modified teeth 2.
Venomous snakes have modified teeth.( modified是過去分詞作形容詞用，形容teeth) 3.
connected to poison glands (過去分詞片語作形容詞用，在teeth後，也是形容teeth) 4.
也可擴大為形容詞子句：Venomous snakes have
modified teeth (which are) connected to
poison glands. 5. in which the venom is secreted and stored. 形容詞子句，修飾poison glands 6. 也可寫為：which the venom is secreted and stored in. (secrete 是動詞
) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (2) 請問「別𣏌人憂天」的英文 A. 800 English
Proverbs Explained (編者 Ronald Ridout & clifford Witting)一書中第496句：
Never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you.=
Never look for trouble. = Don’t worry about something before it has happened.
= Your fears may be groundless, for it may never
happen. 即「別𣏌人憂天」或「船到橋頭自然直」。 同書第137句：Don’t
meet trouble half-way. 亦即「別𣏌人憂天」或「船到橋頭自然直」。 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (3) 請教星期幾什麼時候不加on? A. Sunday至Saturday前用on或不用on皆可。在British English中，正式用on, 非正式不用on；在American English中，正式或非正式皆可不用on.(請在Cambridge
