研究星星對我來說是很大的樂趣。①

studyingthestars是動(dòng)名詞短語，意為“研究星星”。

單個(gè)動(dòng)名詞短語作主語時(shí)，謂語動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)形式。Notes【拓展】當(dāng)兩個(gè)或兩個(gè)以上的動(dòng)名詞短語作并列主語時(shí)，如果它們敘述的是一件事或一個(gè)概念，那么謂語動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)形式；否則，謂語動(dòng)詞用復(fù)數(shù)形式。如：早睡早起對我們的健康有好處。Goingtobedearlyandgettingupearlyisgoodforourhealth.看電視和讀書是非常有趣的。WatchingTVandreadingbooksareveryinteresting.Notese.g.Onceyouaresuccessful,youwillgetsomecongratulations.

一旦你成功了，你就會得到一些祝賀。

【拓展】Ihavereadthebookonce.Oncehelikedplayingchess.Onceyouputyourhandinit,youwillgethurt.一次曾經(jīng)一旦…(就…)

once是連詞，意為“一旦”，在句中引導(dǎo)

時(shí)間狀語從句，與assoonas意思相近。句意:當(dāng)我學(xué)到了一點(diǎn)關(guān)于他們的知識，很快我就想知道更多。4.OnceIlearntalittle,Isoonwantedtofindoutmoreandmore.4.moreandmore 越來越多形容詞或副詞有兩種結(jié)構(gòu)表示“越來越……”：單音節(jié)詞和少數(shù)雙音節(jié)詞：比較級+and+比較級；多數(shù)雙音詞和多音節(jié)詞：moreandmore+原級
