V World

翻譯下列文字：
Oscar  Wilde was an Irish playwright, novelist, poet, and short story writer. Known for his barbed wit, he was one of the most successful playwrights of late Victorian London, and one of the greatest celebrities of his day. As the result of a famous trial, he suffered a dramatic downfall and was imprisoned for two years of hard labour after being convicted of the offence of "gross indecency". The scholar H. Montgomery Hyde suggests this term implies homosexual acts not amounting to buggery in British legislation of the time.

王爾德為愛爾蘭裔劇作家、小說家、詩人與短篇小說作家。以嘲諷式的幽默而聞名，他是維多利亞時代倫敦晚近時期最成功的劇作家之一，亦為當時最偉大的名人之一。成名的結果是他經歷一個戲劇性的低潮，因觸犯”粗俗的猥褻罪”被判服勞役2年。學者Montgomery Hyde 提醒這個詞在當時英國法律暗示同性戀行為但並不相當於雞姦。

The Count Noun

Nouns name people, places, and things. Many nouns have both singular and plural forms. If you can add a number to the front of a noun and put an -s at the end of it, you have a count noun. Check out these examples:
Beatrice offered Jeremy a chocolate-chip cookie.
Jeremy, an impolite pig, grabbed all seventeen cookies off of the plate.

Cookie is a count noun. You can have one cookie, or you can be a pig like Jeremy and have seventeen cookies.

The Sentence Fragment

Recognize a fragment when you see one.

A fragment results whenever you do these three things:

•  You begin a group of words with a capital letter.
•  You conclude this group of words with an end mark--either a period (.), question mark (?), or exclamation point (!).

The Infinitive 不定詞

Recognize an infinitive when you see one. 

To sneeze, to smash, to cry, to shriek, to jump, to dunk, to read, to eat, to slurp--all of these are infinitives. An infinitive will almost always begin with to followed by the simple form of the verb.
