They are guides to urine therapy.

它們是尿療法指南。

注意:

在英文中, 凡表示『針對』某一問題或事件的解決方法、答案和要領等, 或表『通往……』之意時, 通常與介詞to並用; 此類常與介詞to並用的名詞常見的有下列:

　a/the guide to + 名詞/動名詞　　……的指南

　the key to the room　　房間的鑰匙

　the key to success　　成功之鑰; 成功的要訣

　the road to victory　　勝利之路

　an/the answer to the question　　問題的答案

　a/the solution to the problem　　問題的解決方法

例: This booklet is a guide to household carpentry.

  　(這本小冊子是本家庭木工的指南。)

  　＊carpentry n. 木工

  　The tenant needs a key to the room.

  　(那個房客需要一把房間的鑰匙。)

  　＊tenant n. 房客

  　Hard work is the key to success.

  　(努力是成功之鑰。)

  　Nobody knew the answer to the question.

　(沒有人知道那個問題的答案。)

Believe it or not, a lady in America says she drinks a glass of urine a day.　

信不信由你, 在美國有一位女士說她一天喝一杯尿。

Believe it or not, 主詞 + 動詞　　信不信由你,……

注意:

此用法乃由"Whether you believe it or not,..."變化而來, 因經常使用, 故將Whether you believe it or not簡化成Believe it or not之形式。使用時, 通常置於句首, 後加逗點, 再接主要子句。

例: Believe it or not, crime in my hometown is almost non-
  　 existant.

  　(信不信由你，在我的家鄉犯罪幾乎是不存在的。)

  　Whether you believe it or not, the ten-year-old boy is
  　studying in the university.

  　(信不信由你，那個十歲男孩正在唸大學。)

At this point, you must excuse me; I have to go to the restroom.　

說到這裡, 請恕我失陪一下, 我得去一下洗手間。

上列句中, 使用了分號 (;) 連接兩句的用法。

通常兩句在一起時, 中間須有連接詞相連, 若兩句間無連接詞連接時, 我們可用分號 (;) 連接兩句, 此時該分號 (;) 即等於 "逗點 (,) + 連接詞 (and、so、but...)"。

例: He is a man of principle; we all respect him.

  　= He is a man of principle, so we all respect him.

  　(他是個有原則的人，因此我們都尊敬他。)

  　He is a photographer; quite often he travels abroad to take
  　pictures.

  　= He is a photographer, and quite often he travels abroad
  　 to take pictures.

  　(他是個攝影家，常常出國攝影。)

  　He is nice; no one likes him, though.

 　 = He is nice, but no one likes him.

  　(他人很好，然而沒人喜歡他。)

注意:

我們在前面曾介紹過, 有些副詞如however (然而)、therefore (因此) 等有連接詞的意味, 但卻不能作連接詞用, 此類副詞稱為連接性副詞, 故使用時, 前面要有分號 (;), 用以連接兩句。

例: He is nice, however, I don't like him. (╳)

    → He is nice; however, I don't like him. (○)

  　= He is nice, but I don't like him.

  　(他人很好，然而我卻不喜歡他。)

  　She is kind, therefore, we all like her. (╳)

  → She is kind; therefore, we all like her. (○)

  　= She is kind, so we all like her.

  　(她心腸好，因此我們全都喜歡她。)
