講解:regret后跟動名詞的一般式、完成式和不定式的完成式都表示對過去做過的事情感到后悔，跟不定式一般式表示對即將做的事情感到遺憾，常用來表達委婉。twiceasmuch為倍數的表達法，在這里為省略形式，相當于twiceasmuchasthat。5....“walkingdoesneedabitofpracticenowthatgravityhaschanged.”......既然引力改變了，走路也的確需要練一練了。nowthat同since相似，語氣較弱，強調人們已知的事實。Translation:1.既然你忙,就讓我給你做吧。Nowthatyouarebusy,letmedoitforyou.2.既然人都齊了,咱們開始干吧。Nowthateveryoneisherelet’sstartwork．6.Wewatched,amazedasfirebrokeoutontheoutsideofthespaceshipastheearth’sgravityincreased.
