註：enough用作副詞時，一般放在它修飾的形容詞或其他副詞後面。例如：
The tea is hot enough.（茶是夠熱。）
He did not work hard enough.（他不夠用功。）

但enough用作形容詞時，前置或後置都可以。例如：

2. 今晚七時我們將開董事會。
ˇ We are having a board meeting at seven o’clock this evening.
ˇ We are having a board meeting this evening, at seven o’clock.
χ We are having a board meeting this evening at seven o’clock.
註：如果有多個時間副詞，一般單位大的放在單位小的後面。例如：
I was born in May 1939.
The meeting was held at five o’clock yesterday afternoon.
但如果大的單位是說話者強調的重點，則可以放在前面，但後面要有逗號，表示停頓。例如：
He arrived yesterday afternoon, at about five o’clock.
3. 我生於麻州波士頓。
ˇ I was born in Boston, Massachusetts.
χ I was born in Massachusetts, Boston.
註：一般而言，地點副詞的位置，範圍大的放在範圍小的後面。例如：
Before 1969 I lived in a small village in Keelung.
但不是絕對，例如：
I teach in the English Department at University of Toronto.
有時為了強調，範圍小的也可以放在後面。例如：
They spent the summer holidays in Keelung in a large house near the beach.
4. 他是一位著名的中國作家。
ˇ He is a famous Chinese writer.
χ He is a Chinese famous writer.
註：一個名詞若有幾個修飾詞時，在句中的順序應遵從習慣。Chinese
靠近名詞，China’s離名詞最遠，如China’s first emperor、ancient Chinese history，又如 a distinguished Japanese writer（一個日本優秀作家）、不說*a Japanese distinguished writer。
5. 我明白了，原來如此。
ˇ (Oh,) I see.
ˇ So I see.
χ I see so.
註：可以說：I believe so.
但不說：*I see (/notice) so. 應改作So I see.

Despite this, microgravity can cause muscle loss, bone density reduction and cardiovascular changes. As a result, astronauts require extensive rehabilitation upon their return to Earth. In spite of these difficulties, astronauts often describe their experience on the ISS as life-changing. One of the most awe-inspiring aspects of living aboard the space station is the unparalleled view of Earth. Traveling at
