7．point out指出

这个短语可分开用：I realized that he had made a mistake, so I pointed it out to him immediately.我意识到他犯了个错误，所以我立即就向他指了出来。

He pointed out that it was a mistake not to help them.他指出不帮助他们是错误的。

8．in spite of尽管，虽然；不顾，不管

9．So far, not one of them has been struck down by sudden death!然而到目前为止，还没有一个人暴死呢！

（1）not one of them表示“一个人也没有……”，其语气比none of them或 no one要强。

（2）strike down为固定短语，在这里表示“使……生重病”、“杀死”（通常用被动语态）：Many people were struck down in that war.许多人在那场战争中死去了。

He was struck down by cancer last year.他去年死于癌症。
