We said at the beginning of the book that the instruction of reading that it provides applies to everything you have to or want to read.

一開始看這句話，斷句斷在第二個that后，被provides applies郁悶半天。兩個動詞怎么放在一起。結果發(fā)現(xiàn)是斷在provides后。

apply

ap(ad)=to 向。ply=to fold 折。

to fold to=折向---- ---- ----靠攏

向上，向下，水平靠攏，這種理解很有意思?孤島?375頁，在此句中，是向下靠攏，即適用。

造句:we think highly of the experiment that the result of the medicine that it proves applies to every person who get cold.
