▲英语中，介词短语作定语十分常见。of 短语一般表示“所属关系”，说明前面的名词属于of 之后的那个名词。此外，使用其他介词的情况也很多。

其中,你这个a start to life 便是一例。又如：

And 13 baby pandas have a new home after a rough start to life.

在经历了生命之初的艰辛后，13只小熊猫有了新家。

▲to 表示“目的或对象”关系，具有针对性。这种用法十分常见，由其构成的介词短语，置于名词之后作定语。例如：

the answer to the question

the solution to the problem

the response to the inquiry

the reaction to the proposal

the reply to the letter

the key to the door

notes to the text

the exit to the cinema

the entrance to the hall

the bridge to knowledge

the way to school

the road to victory

the key to success

a visit to the Great Wall

a letter to the president
