3. by taking the scientific developments of his day on step further, jules verne laid the foundation of modern science fiction. 通過將他所處時代的科學發展向前推進一步，儒勒•凡爾納奠定了現代科幻小說的基礎。
by在本句是介詞，說明手段或方式，可譯作“通過，用，以，由于”等，其后常跟名詞或動詞-ing形式。 eg:
this pair of shoes is made by hand. 這雙鞋是手工做的。
by helping them we are helping to save ourselves. 幫助他們就等于救了我們自己。
注意by表達這種含義時與with和in的區別；表示使用有形的工具或器官時要用with，其后的名詞前一般應用冠詞。使用某種語言，表示用墨水、顏色、顏料等“原料”或“材料”都用in，且名詞前不用冠詞。 eg:

(2)in their efforts中的in表示“正在進行的動作或狀態”。 eg:
he is always in action.他總是在行動中。

(2)not…but…“不是……而是……”，連接兩個并列成分，如連接兩個并列賓語，兩個并列表語或兩個并列主語等。注意當not…but…連接兩個并列主語時，句子的謂語動詞要采用就近一致的原則，即與but后的主語保持一致。 eg:

he is not a poet but a writer. 他不是詩人而是作家。
