Whether we find a joke funny or not largely depends on where we have been brought up. The sense of humour is mysteriously bound up with national characteristics. A Frenchman, for instance, might find it hard to laugh at a Russian joke. In the same way, a Russian might fail to see anything amusing in a joke which would make an Englishman laugh to tears. Notes on the Text largely adv.在很大程度上 （部分肯定mostly） e.g: His success was largely due to luck. in some extent“从某种程度上来讲” e.g：You like this colour,and in some extent it reflects what kind of person you are. to some extent“在一定程度上”,只是一定范畴类 限定词 e.g：What colour do you like to some extent reflects what kind of person you are. Notes on the Text depend本身是需要一个介词. 所以depend 通常会以 depend on, depend upon, depend from 的形式用在句子中。通常不会用depend作为一个及物动词使用，除非所要表达的意思是“看情况而定”. e.g：A: Do you prefer reading or swimming? B: It depends. 通常作为“依赖、取决于”的意思作表达，depend的后面都带on. e.g: John depends on his parents very much. Notes on the Text bring up 养育; 提出; 谈到; 呕出; e.g: He was brought up by his uncle. He brought up the issue again at the meeting. be bound up with 与…有密切关系;使与…紧密联系 e.g：Her illness is bound up with the pressure of her study and work. Notes on the Text for instance 和 for example 就是在一个句子或者一段话中为了行文流畅，避免重复，而使用，也就是说，在一个句子中如果要用到两个“举例”，一般是不会在同样的短语，一般用同义词表示. for example for example是列举整体之中的一个为例，在句子中多用作插入语，用逗号与主句隔开，for example之后也有逗号。for example作插入语，位置可以在句首、句中或句末。 e.g: Noise，for example，is a kind of pollution as well for instance主要用于列举表示事例情况的例子。有时，相当于like／such as，后接具体的事物。 e.g: You Can choose any one of them．for instance，this one on the left． Notes on the Text
