for precedent是和were regulated组成的一个被动结构：were regulated by…。这样，save这一部分就不是一个句子，只是一个修饰成分。事实上，save是个介词，作“除了”解，相当于but，或是except。
63．It is the two superpowers that should be responsible for the hostilities in the Middle East．应对中东战争（×敌对状态）负责的是两个超级大国。
有一些名词，特别是抽象名词的单数变成复数后，意义是不一样的。“hostility单数作“enmity，“ill will“敌意”“敌视”解，但“hostilities复数作“war“战争”解。
64. ）．．．he let the line slip down，down，down，unrolling off the first of the two reserve coils．……他就松手让钓丝滑下去，下去，下去，把两卷备用的（×多余的）钓丝也松开了一卷。
reserve有“预备着的”，“多余的”意思，这里应是“备用”之意。

“非常, 很, 极其”的英文表达法
相信大家都会有这样的经历: 每每用英语表达一些很一般的概念时, 我们总会立刻想起某个表达法. 例如: 想说\很\时,立
刻想到了very或very much; 想说\大\时, 则用big或large.这样的一一对应, 大大减弱了英语写作的丰富性和生动性.
于是这些最先为我们想到的表达法, 便成了我们提高英语水平的羁绊. 如果我们能把这些最常用概念的英语表达归类, 总结, 贫乏的英语表达便会涣然一新.
在英语中用来表达\极其, 非常, 很\的方式有26种:
1) most
(used for giving force)
a. (to an adjective) very
It really is most annoying.
b.(to an adverb) quite; very
Whatever happens, I shall most certainly attend the meeting.
注意:
most只能修饰具有主观意见或感情色彩的形容词和副词, 表示\非常, 很\的概念.我们可以说 most certainly, 但不能说most tall 或 most quick
2) awfully adv.
