语法:

• Check the state of the world we live in

  ➔ 省略关系代词的关系从句

  ➔ "the world *we live in*"是一个修饰"world"的关系从句。关系代词 "that" 或 "which" 被省略。完整的句子应该是 "the world that/which we live in"。

• Leadership fails before it begins

  ➔ 一般真理/陈述的简单现在时

  ➔ 这句话使用一般现在时（“fails”，“begins”）来表达对领导力的一般性观察。 这不是关于一个特定的实例，而是一种趋势。

• Ten finger pointin' but who is to blame?

  ➔ 省略（省略词语）

  ➔ 这句话是 “There are ten fingers pointing, but who is to blame?” 的缩短版本。 为了简洁和更具对话性，省略了“There are”这个词。

• Think they're the boss but a who are the master?

  ➔ 缩写和主谓倒置形成疑问句

  ➔ "They're" 是 "they are" 的缩写形式。第二部分是一个问题 "who are *the* master?"，展示了主谓倒置来形成疑问句。 注意 "who" 前面使用 "a" 是非正式的，并增加了强调。

• Life set a pace, every thing's much faster

  ➔ 简单过去时动词 “set”（不规则动词）和“is” 的缩写形式 's

  ➔ “Set” 是动词 “set” 的过去式形式（不规则动词）。 “Thing's” 是 “thing is” 的缩写，表明“一切都快多了”。

• Fightin' for what they did not create

  ➔ 现在分词用作动词表示持续体和过去不定式否定

  ➔ “Fightin'” 是 “fighting” 的缩写形式，是 “fight” 的现在分词，这里用在持续体中。 “Did not create” 是 “create” 的否定过去不定式。

• Instead of finding a cure, we should look for the means to prevent

  ➔ “Instead of” + 动名词；情态动词 “should” + 不带to的不定式；“means to” + 不定式

  ➔ “Instead of finding” 在介词短语 “instead of” 之后使用动名词。“Should look” 使用情态动词 “should”，后跟动词的基本形式。“Means to prevent” 展示了一种结构，其中 “to” 位于动词不定式之前，以阐明目的或方法。
