语言学习中很大的一个障碍就是母语对自己的影响，我们会不自觉地用母语的表达习惯去讲外语表达哀悼之情的句子。掌握外语区别于母语的表达特点，也就迈开了摆脱母语影响的第一步。
以下句为例
One might conclude that this magnificently self-contradictory list makes a mockery of history as a rational, let alone objective, study; and indeed it would do, were history merely the collection of data. But it is not.
这个句子中至少有两处在表达哀悼之情的句子我看来比较有特点：一是插入语的运用 (let alone objective) ; 二是省略 (and indeed it would do; But it is not.)
抛砖引玉表达哀悼之情的句子，希望引来的别都是板砖，呵呵
