例句1： My boss is alway finding fault with my work and I have got used to it, so I always turn a deaf ear to it. 我的老板总是挑我工作上的刺，我已经习惯了，所以对他的话我充耳不闻。

注解1：Turn a deaf ear to sth意思是充耳不闻。例如：I didn't expect him to turn a deaf ear to his comrades' criticism.我没料想到他对同志们的批评竟充耳不闻。I have talked with him to ask him not be be late for work and he seems to turn a deaf ear my warning. 我们已经和他说了叫他不要上班迟到，可是他视乎对我的警告充耳不闻。

注解2：Get used to sth（doing sth）意思是对某事惯，对做某事习惯。例如：Once you get used to regular exercise, you'll feel bad when you don't do it. 一旦你喜欢了定期锻炼，当你不去锻炼时会感觉难受。Get used to it, Mary. I'm off burgers for good. 玛丽，你得开始习惯喽。我已经决定永远不吃汉堡了。（备注be off +食物 不吃 for good 永远 Eg. I am off bananas for good. 我永远也不吃香蕉。）注解3：现在进行时加上频率副词表示对某事一种厌恶，憎恨，讨厌的感情色彩。例如：He is always getting in my hair when I am working. 我在工作的时候他老是来打搅我。You are always telling lies and I have had enough of your excuses . 你总是撒谎，我受够了你的借口了。

例句2：There is not a single thing about her that one can find fault with. 在她身上找不到一点说长道短的东西。

注解：这是一个含有定语从句的复合句，要注意三点。第一、定语从句是that one can find fault with，这个定语从句的先行词是thing，在从句中作介词with的宾语。那么如果先行词是thing这个词的话，又充当宾语成分，就只能用关系代词that，而不能用which。

第二、这个定语从句属于分割式定语从句。当定语从句大大长于句子后面的成分时，那么这些成分就紧跟先行词，而把定语从句放于句尾。这样可以平衡句子结构，句子不显得头重脚轻。

第三、像先行词做介词的宾语，有的情况下是可以把介词提到定语从句句首再加上关系代词来引导定语从句。例如：“This is the doctor we are talking about.”这个句子就可以这么说“This is the doctor about whom we are talking.” 因为find fault with是一个习语，这个三个单词在一起才能表达出“找茬儿，挑剔”等意思，拆开来就不能表达这个意思，所以，在这样的情况下，不能讲介词with提到定语从句句首在加上关系代词which来引导定语从句。下面的说法是错误的——There is not a single thing about her with which one can find fault .
