2 times是次数还是时间的疑惑

老师新年好!

这是新概念3-27课,有几个疑问请教老师:

There are times when we would willingly give everything we possess to save our lives, yet we might grudge paying a surgeon a high fee for offering us precisely this service.

The conditions of society are such that skills have to be paid for in the same way that goods are paid for at a shop. Everyone has something to sell.

... He may hunt, beg, or steal occasionally to keep himself alive; he may even, in times of real need, do a little work; but he will never sacrifice his freedom.

We often speak of tramps with contempt and put them in the same class as beggars, but how many of us can honestly say that we have not felt a little envious of their simple way of life and their freedom from care?

1) There are times when...这里的times复数是表示次数还是时间?如果是时间,为什么可以使用复数呢+when定语从句呢?同样in times of real need - 这里的times也是同样的疑问?

2) are such that...这里的such that 用法有疑惑?这是什么用法含义呢?书上说这里的that引导such 的同位语,对吗?

3) in the same way that是否也直接等于= the same way (即可以去掉inthat) = as ?  how many of us can...感觉这里的can表示能力或可能性都可以?

(1)There are times when...这里的times复数是表示次数还是时间?如果是时间,为什么可以使用复数呢+when定语从句呢?同样in times of real need - 这里的times也是同样的疑问?

解答:这里的“times”不是表示次数,而是指历史上某个特定时期;时代或者生活中某个特定时期/时间。是可数名词. There are times when 引导定语从句

There are times when I sit down and have a good weep.有时候我会坐下来痛痛快快地哭一场。

There are times when personal feelings cannot be allowed to intrude.有些时候是不允许夹杂个人感情的。

There are times when the book suffers from excessive authorial control.该书曾几次受到作者过多的制约。

They were hard times and his parents had been struggling to raise their family.那是段艰苦时期,他父母一直艰辛地养家糊口。

We'll be alone together, quite like old times. 我们会单独在一起,就像过去那样。

(2)are such that...这里的such that 用法有疑惑?这是什么用法含义呢?书上说这里的that引导such 的同位语,对吗?

解答:such that引导结果状语从句,意思“如此...以至于”

He kept thinking the pain was such that he would faint.  他不停地想太疼了,他会疼昏过去了。

His behavior was such that everyone disliked him. 他的行为使得人人都讨厌他.

His behavior was such that we all refused to receive him in our homes.他的品行是如此的坏,我们都拒绝在家里招待他.

(3) in the same way that是否也直接等于= the same way (即可以去掉inthat) = as ?  how many of us can...感觉这里的can表示能力或可能性都可以?

解答:in the way way that 是介词短语作方式状语,可以理解为“the same way that=the same way”how many of us 中的情态动词can不表示能力。表示客观的可能性。

We like them in the same way that we like pretty curtain material.  

=We like them the same way(that) we like pretty curtain material

我们喜欢它们就象我们喜欢美丽的窗帘料子一样.

备注:某人做某事的方式的以下几种表达都是正确的

(1)the way that sb do sth           I don't like the way that Tom talks to me.

(2)the way in which sb do sth    I don't like the way in which Tom talks to me.

(3) the way sb do sth                I don't like the way Tom talks to me.
