　　3） We are all subject to the laws of nature.（我们都要受自然规律的支配。）

　　4） The child is very subject to coughs.（这孩子动不动就咳嗽。）

　　5） All men are subject to death.（人总有一死。）

　　while 在句子中做连词用，意思是“而，然而”。while也是一个多义词，请注意下面例句中while 的意思：

　　1） Strike while the iron is hot.（趁热打铁。）

　　2） He listened to the radio while he was doing his homework.（他一边听收音机，一边做作业。）

　　13. Thus forming an integrated image with all the information placed in a single mental picture can help us to preserve a memory.

　　划线部分是该句的主要成分，forming an integrated image动名词短语做主语，can help做谓语，us to preserve a memory做复合宾语。

　　斜体部分是一个“with + 名词 + 过去分词”的独立结构，做方式状语，修饰动名词短语forming an integrated image.

　　不定式与名词或代词构成复合结构，做动词宾语的现象在英语中很常见，在前几讲中我们也遇到过。再请看几个例句：

　　1） Would you like Tom to go with you？（你愿意汤姆和你一起去吗？）

　　2） He wants you to see him in the afternoon.（他想让你下午去见他。）

　　3） Father encouraged him to study harder.（父亲鼓励他更加努力学习。）

　　“with + 名词 + 过去分词”的独立结构在英语中也很常见，请看例句：

　　2） Standing there is a torture to her， with so many eyes fixed³ on her.

　　（这么多人注视着她，于她而言，站在那儿是一种折磨。）
