notes:
1. 关于Tom and Jack's father, Harry and George's room等所有格， 表示的是"共有"，也就是说Tom和Jack共有一个父亲；而Harry和George分享同一间屋子。但凡要表示"分别(各自)的..."，则应该一一列出，即Tom's and Jack's fathers; Harry's room and George's room....
2. 文中第（4）大点中有用of表示和to表示的区别，虽是习惯用法所致，但也有些规律可循。of一般表示“属性”，而to则表示“动作、行为的趋向”。也就是说和of、to这两个介词本身的习惯表达相关联。
