In Utah.

3. How did Aron free himself?

4. What did Aron do after the accident?
After the accident, he wrote a book called Between a Rock and a Hard Place. And he kept on climbing mountains.
5. What does “between a rock and a hard place”mean?
It means being in a difficult situation in which all of the choices are bad.
Language points
1. 觀察下列句子。
1) He found himself in a very dangerous situation.
2) He was climbing by himself.
3) He bandaged himself so that he would not lose too much blood.
4) We find ourselves “between a rock and a hard place”.
2. Aron is used to taking risks.
be used to 意為“習(xí)慣于”，其中to是介詞，其后要接名詞或V-ing形式。
He is used to walking to school.
他習(xí)慣步行上學(xué)。
used to do sth. “過去常常做某事”
I used to live in London.
我過去一直住在倫敦。
3. After losing his arm, he wrote a book called Between a Rock and a Hard Place. 失去手臂之后, 他寫了一本名為《生死兩難》的書。
“Between a Rock and a Hard Place 是一本書的書名， 可譯作《生死兩難》。其本身是英語中的一個(gè)固定習(xí)語，表示在艱難或危險(xiǎn)的處境下“從兩難中進(jìn)行選擇”， 意為“ 左右為難；進(jìn)退兩難”。
4. This means being in a difficult situation that you cannot seem to get out of.
它意思是“處于一個(gè)你似乎無法擺脫的困境中”。
1）此處mean 表示“……意思是；意為”，用來解釋上句出現(xiàn)在書名中的習(xí)語的意思。如：
What do you mean? 你的意思是什么？
此外，mean 還可以表示“意味著”的意思。如：
…before we have to make a decision that could mean life or death.
在我們不得不做出可能意味著生死的決定之前……
2）a difficult situation that you cannot seem to get out of 和a decision that could mean life or death 均為定語從句。
在前者中，從句that you cannot seem to get out of 修飾名詞 situation;
在后者中，從句that could mean life or death 修飾decision。
5. His love for mountain climbing is so great that he kept on climbing mountains even after this experience.
so...that... 表示“如此/這么……以致于……”，“ 常引導(dǎo)結(jié)果狀語從句。其中so是副詞，�？捎脕硇揎椥稳菰~或副詞。
他太小了而無法照顧好自己。
He is so young that he can’t look after himself well.
6. 觀察以下兩個(gè)句子，總結(jié) so that， 和 so...that 的用法。
1) He bandaged himself so that he would not lose too much blood.
2) His love for mountain climbing is so great that he kept on climbing mountains even after this experience.
so that 既可引導(dǎo)目的狀語從句又可引導(dǎo)結(jié)果狀語從句。引導(dǎo)目的狀語從句時(shí)可譯為“為了”，引導(dǎo)結(jié)果狀語從句時(shí)可譯為“以便”。如：
I speak loudly so that all the students can hear me clearly. (目的狀語從句)
Maria likes the woolen dress so that she decides to buy it immediately. (結(jié)果狀語從句)
so... that...中的so是副詞，常用來修飾形容詞或副詞，“如此……以致于……”。
主語 + 謂語 + so + adj. / adv. + that從句。
e.g. The boy ran so fast that I couldn’t catch him.
so + adj. + a(n) + 單數(shù)名詞 + that從句。
e.g. It was so fine a day yesterday that we all went out for a picnic.
昨天天氣很好，我們都出去野餐了。
