Analyze the important sentences among the text:

1. First of all, let us consider the earth as a planet revolving around the sun. (p1)

譯：首先，讓我們把地球看作是圍繞太陽運行的一顆行星。

句子分析：first of all首先，詞組：consider sth as sth把…當作…，與之類似的詞組還有：

look up sth as sth; review sth as sth; treat sth as sth…; revolving around the sun是現在分詞短語作定語修飾a planet。

2. These nine planets, together with the sun, make up what is called our solar system. (p1)

譯：這九大行星和太陽一起構成我們所說的太陽系。

句子分析：該句主語為：These nine planets;謂語是make up;what is called our solar system是賓語;together with the sun是狀語，而并非句子主語。關于該語法內容請見本講后面的grammar---主謂一致。

3. How this wonderful system started and what kept it working with such wonderful accuracy is largely a mystery …… (p1)

譯：這個奇妙的星系是怎樣起源的?什么使它保持極其精確的運轉，很大程度上現在還是一個謎。
