theme, subject與topic的辨析
三個詞都有“題目，話題，主題”之意
subject是此意的常用普通詞；意廣；

theme一般指論文、演講、音樂等的主題，較正式，意狹。如：

4．Excuse me. Am I going in the right direction?

in the opposite direction朝相反的方向
②direction還可作“指揮，指導”，用作此意時，多與under搭配。如：

I missed a good opportunity to give my opinion on it.
我失去了對那事提意見的機會。
I had the chance of visiting Paris.我有機會訪問巴黎。

“抓住機會”有以下幾種形式表達：

游客可以乘車參加令人刺激的兜風，感受他們在電影里看見的主角所經歷的感覺。
①整個句子是一個復雜的復合句，它含有狀語從句、賓語從句和定語從句。where引導地點狀語從句，因為rides不是表地點的先行詞。what引導賓語從句，they have seen…是定語從句，修飾things，關系代詞由于在從句中作賓語而被省略了。例如：
Please make marks where you have any questions.
請在你有問題的地方做記號。（where引導了一個地點狀語從句）

We had to get up early so that we could catch the first bus.

我們起床起得很早，所以趕上了第一班公共汽車。（so that 引導結果狀語從句）
