5. in fact, his english in one of these articles was so good that engels wrote him a letter and praised him for it. 事實上，其中一篇英語文章寫得十分出色，恩格斯為此寫信贊揚他。
praise sb. for sth. 表示因… 而表揚某人，如：他們因為提前完成任務而受表揚。they were praised for finishing their task ahead of time.
6. however, he went on to explain that he was not too sure about two things —— the grammar and some of the idioms. 不過，他接著說明他在語法和某些習慣用法這兩方面，還是沒有多大的把握。
go on to do sth. 意思是:(做完一件事之后)再接著做另一件事（和原來干的事不同），而go on doing sth.是指某事尚未做完，現在繼續做下去。如：the students finished reading the text, and then they went on to retell the story. 學生讀完課文之后，接著就復述這個故事。he went on reading the text although i told him to stop. 盡管我叫他不要讀了，他還是繼續讀課文。
7. be sure about / of sth. 確信，對…有把握，如：i’m not sure about this exam. 我對這次考試沒有把握。we are sure of winning the match this time. 我們這次有把握贏得這次比賽。注意sure還有其它一些搭配：i’m sure that i can run faster than you. they were not sure whether they could come or not. are you sure to finish the work in time?
8. in the 1870s, when marx was already in his fifties, he found it important to study the situation in russia. 在19世紀70年代，馬克思已經五十幾歲了，他覺得研究俄國形勢很重要。
某年之后加s，前后加定冠詞表示某個世紀的多少年代。如：in the 1990's 在20世紀90年代。in his fifties 是不指明精確歲數的表達方法，意思是“50來歲”，如：an old man in his seventies 一個70來歲的老大爺。注意twenties (20-29), thirties (30-39), forties (40-49) 等可以用來表示 年代或年齡，如：cars of this kind were made in the twenties (in the 20s). 這種小汽車是20年代制造的。he is still in his twenties.他才20幾歲。這個句子的結構是：主語+動詞+it+形容詞/名詞+不定式。find 作"發現"、"覺得"解，常跟復合賓語（賓語+賓語補足語）。句中的it是形式賓語，本身沒有實際意義，而important 是賓語補足語，真正的賓語是不定式短語to do sth.。常用于這種結構的動詞還有find, feel, think, consider, make 等。如：we found it necessary to learn to use a computer. 我們發現學會電腦很有必要。
