1. My name is Adrian, and I am a moderating drinker. It is a difficult time of year for us moderators, what with all those Christmas parties and annual get-togethers with old friends. This time last year, I am sure I would have been sighing at the thought of all the drinking I would have to be doing. But back then I was drinking so much generally that I don’t know how my liver would have known it was Christmas anyway.
译文：我叫阿德里安（Adrian），我是一个节制的饮酒者。对于我们主持人来说，这是一年中的艰难时刻，那些圣诞派对和老朋友们一年一度的聚会。去年这个时候，我确信，想到所有的饮酒，不得不这样做，我都会叹息。但是，那时我喝得太多了，我不知道我的肝脏怎么会知道那是圣诞节。
词汇：
moderator[ˈmɒdəreɪtə(r)] n.（讨论、会议等的）主持人
例句：This is not only because I was moderator.
这不仅因为我是座谈会的主持人。
语法分析：
My name是主语， is Adrian是谓语（系动词+表语）, and连接两个句子，I是主语， am a moderating drinker是谓语（系动词+表语）. It是主语，is a difficult time of year是谓语（系动词+表语），for us是逻辑主语，moderators是同位语, what with all those Christmas parties and annual get-togethers with old friends是状语. This time是时间状语，last year是时间状语, I是主语，am sure是谓语，I是宾语从句的主语， would have been sighing是谓语，at the thought of all the drinking是介词词组作状语，I would have to be doing是定语从句，修饰the drinking. But表示转折 back then是时间状语，I是主语，was drinking是谓语，so much是状语， generally是状语， that引导目的状语从句， I是主语， don’t know是谓语， how my liver would have known it was Christmas anyway整个宾语。
