VOA慢速英语:Turning Images Into Sensations to Assist the Blind

sometime，sometimes，some time，some times用法区别

    sometime

    （1）副词：某个时候。可指过去或将来的某个时候。如：

    ① Would you come to the cinema with me， sometime？ 赏脸找个时间和我看场电影吗？（将来）

    ② We‘ll take our holiday sometime in August. 我们会在八月找个时间度假。（将来）

    ③ I bought this sometime last summer. 这是我在上个夏天买的。（过去）

    ④ This mansion was built sometime around 1980. 这栋大厦是1980年左右建的。（过去）

    （2）形容词：前，过去的。意思类似former.

    ① This is our sometime general manager.这是我们的前任总经理。

    ② Our sometime classmate， Rose， is now a pop star. 我们以前的同学罗斯，现在是明星了。

    sometimes 副词：有时候。顺便提一下，at times也是“有时”的意思。

    ① Every man is a fool sometimes， and none at all times. 每个人有时都会犯傻，但没有谁会一直都傻。

    ② I sometimes have letters from him. 有时我会收到他的来信。
some time 某段时间。常与for连用。

    ① We plan to stay in Hainan for some time. 我们打算在海南呆上一段时间。

    ② I will keep the computer for some time， so you can use it.这部电脑我会留着一段时间，你可以用。

    some times 几次。several times也可以表示“几次”，但比some times较确定。time作可数名词时可作“次数”解；表示“时间”时是不可数名词。

    ① I am sure that we have met some times before.我肯定我们之前见过几次了。

    ② The newly bought microwave oven failed to work some times.新买的微波炉坏了几次了。

2.It can process images taken by a camera into sensations that could be used by a blind person wearing it.

这句话的主干是：It can process images into sensations。taken by a camera是过去分词作后置定语，修饰images。that could be used是定语从句，修饰sensations。

3. He wondered if this ability to change could explain the idea that other senses in blind people improve to balance their lack of vision.

这句话的主语和谓语是：He wondered，后面是宾语从句。that other senses是idea的同位语。
