　　【句型12】When I was a teenager, I felt that I was just young and
uncertain—that I was a new boy in a huge school, and I would have been very
pleased to be regarded as something so interesting as a problem.(Lesson 5)
        　　【译文】我十几岁时，总觉得自己年轻，懵懵懂懂——我感到我就像一所大学校里的新生，假如我当时真的极为有趣地被人看作是个问题，我真会感到非常得意。
        　　【讲解】that I was a
new…problem作felt的宾语，破折号表示引出被强调的部分。本句的要点在于暗喻(metaphor)修辞手法，作者把社会比作a huge
school，把自己比作a new boy。
