minimum wage前面为什么没有冠词

though从句的用法疑问
你可能因为没有找到句子中 though 从句的主句而有疑问吧！In his spare time though he goes on stage beside pianist Maria Raspopova—not as a musician but as her page turner.严格说来，这不是一个“完整”的句子，即句子将主句给“隐藏”起来了，如果补充“完整”，可以是：In his spare time, though he goes on stage bes...

taste like cardboard的理解
这里的 taste like cardboard 在字面上意思是“吃起来像硬纸板”，你从常识上可以判断，说某东西吃起来像硬纸板，肯定是指它不好吃，类似于汉语中的“味同嚼蜡”：French strawberries do not taste like cardboard. 法国草莓吃起味道并不差。又如：The bread tastes like cardboard. 这种面包吃起来味同嚼蜡。The food on the...

instead 与 instead of
instead 副词，instead of 是介词。到底要不要加介词 of，主要看你的句子是要用副词还是要用介词。比较：Lee was ill so I went instead. 李病了，所以我去了。（用副词）You can go instead of me, if you want. 如果你愿意，你可以代替我去。（用介词，注意介词后面有宾语 me）

关于后缀以man结尾的名词复数问题

one-half of 1 percent的用法疑问
当然也可以说成百分之点五啊(0.5%)。类似的，汉语中的“半年”，虽然也可以说成 half a year，但人们通常喜欢说 six months。

句子结构问题
你理解错了，and 是用于连接两个从句的，句子主句是 I was sick and weak。原句相当于：As I had lost a lot of blood, and it was extremely cold, I was sick and weak. = As I had lost a lot of blood and as it was extremely cold, I was sick and weak.

historic与historical的区别
填 historic。It's wonderful to see so many people here on this historic occasion. 在这个具有历史意义的场合看到这么多人在这里真是太好了。分析：historic 多用来表示具有重要历史意义的地方、遗址、习俗等，还表示“创造历史”的时刻——强调重要性。如：We spent our holiday visiting historic houses and castles in ...
