1. I want to question my belief, so that what is left after I have questioned it, will be even stronger.

文法解析:so that是复合连词,意思是“以至于......结果是......”,引导结果状语从句。例如:

Everyone lent a hand, so that the work was finished ahead of schedule. 每个人都帮了忙, 所以工作提前完成了。

So that还有“以便于......”的意思。例如:

I will give you all the facts so that you can judge for yourself. 我会给你所有的事实以便你可以自己判断。

I stepped aside so that she might come in. 我往旁边走一步,以便她能进来。

2. But Angel,your mother and I have saved and saved to send you to university like your brothers.

要点解析:saved and saved这里的动词save使用了2次,save and save的意思是“节省了又节省”,有些动词也可这样使用,例如:

Mary have studied and studied but she gains nothing. 玛丽学了又学,可是毫无收获。

3. But how can we send you there if it is not in the service of God?

语言要点:in the service of:为......服务,造福于......

e.g. He died in the service of his country. 他为国捐躯。

e.g. Their work is in the service of the people. 他们的工作是为人民服务。

4. So Angel did not have the advantage of a university education.

语言要点:have the advantage of:处于......优势,处于......有利条件

e.g. He has the advantage of a good education in America. 他具有在美国受过良好教育的有利条件。

e.g. Whatever the weight of antiquity, truth should always have the advantage.无论古人的份量有多么重,真理总是占着优势。

5. After some years studying at home he decided to learn farming

要点解析:studying在这里是作为名词用,意思是“研究学习”。Farm在这里是作为动词用,意思是“经营农场,务农”,在动词learn是及物动词,后面跟farm这个动词,因此使用的是其动名词形式。
