人体英语趣说之appendix盲肠阑尾

appendix The appendix seems useless in the human body. But you may suffer from appendicitis if you don't take care. Then the appendix has to be removed by a medical operation. You will not think it a pity to have your appendix cut off since it has no use. But it would be a great pity if the appendix of a book were removed. For， unlike the appendix of the body，It is very useful. It contains additional Information which readers usually find quite valuable. 人体的盲肠似乎是并无用处，你照料不好，还会患阑尾炎，俗称盲肠炎，那时就得接受手术去掉阑尾。你不会认为割去盲肠有什么可惜，因为它并无用处，但如果把一本书的appendix（附录）去掉，那就真的太可惜了。因为它跟人体的appendix不一样，它是很有用处的。附录包含附加信息，读者往往觉得它很有价值。
