　　What is Jasper White's problem?

　　Jasper White is one of those rare people who believes in ancient myths. he has just bought a new house in the city, but ever since he moved in, he has had trouble with cars and their owners. When he returns home at night, he always finds that someone has parked a car outside his gate. Because of this, he has not been able to get his own car into his garage even once. Jasper has put up 'No Parking' signs outside his gate, but these have not had any effect. Now he has put an ugly stone head over the gate. It is one of the ugliest faces I have ever seen. I asked him what it was and he told me that it was Medusa, the Gorgon. jasper hopes that she will turn cars and their owners to stone. But none of them has been turned to stone yet!

参考译文

　　贾斯珀.怀特是少有的相信古代神话的人之一。他刚在城里买下一所新房子，但自从搬进去后，就和汽车及车主们发生了磨擦。当他夜里回到家时，总是发现有人把车停在他家大门外。为此，他甚至一次也没能把自己的车开进车库。贾斯珀曾把几块“禁止停车”的牌子挂在大门外边，但没有任何效果。现在他把一个丑陋的石雕头像放在了大门上边，这是我见过的最丑陋的头像之一。我问他那是什么？他告诉我那是蛇发女怪美杜莎。贾斯珀希望她把汽车和车主们都变成石头。但到目前为止还没有一个变成石头呢！

believe in 信任；信仰

关系代词：who,whom,which,that
关系代词后面要加从句
先行词是主句和从句共同有的一个词
I have a book that/which he likes.
关系代词有两个功能：一是承上，一是启下
The boy is my brother.
The boy is standing at the door.
The boy who is standing at the door is my brother.
I can do anything I can to help you.
I can do anything that I can do.
Jasper White is one of those rare people who believe in ancient myths.
who 在这是关系词，起承上启下的作用
believe 用在people之后应该用复数对待
who 在从句中指代的是单数，就用单数对待，在从句中指代的是复数就用复数对待
如果在定语从句中出现了one of作为先行词，它后边的关系代词指代的是后面的复数名词
如果在one of前面还有一修饰词only,那么后边的关系代词将指代one这个词
He is the only one of those rare people who believes in ancient myths.
one of 直接作主语的时候，它是做单数看待的
One of the answers is ture.
One of those people is good.
ever since=since
have trouble doing 做...有麻烦
have trouble with sb. 和某人相处有麻烦
