1：I will dedicate the book to the child from whom this grown-up grew。这句话从后半部分怎么看不懂（from whom this grown-up grew）

2：They always need to have things explained。(为什么多出个have things)。

3：The grown-ups' response, this time, was to advise me to lay aside my drawings of boa constrictors, whether from the inside or the outside, and devote myself instead to geography, history, arithmetic and grammar.(instead为什么在那里)。

4：In the course of this life I have had a great many encounters with a great many people who have been concerned with matters of consequence（have been concerned with matters of consequence这段话怎么翻译好）。

5：Whenever I met one of them who seemed to me at all clear-sighted（at all 有什么用）。

原句要表达的是“他们总是需要一些事情被别人解释”的意思。

3：The grown-ups' response, this time, was to advise me to lay aside my drawings of boa constrictors, whether from the inside or the outside, and devote myself instead to geography, history, arithmetic and grammar. 大人们劝我把这些画着开着肚皮的，或闭上肚皮的蟒蛇的图画放在一边，还是把兴趣放在地理、历史、算术、语法上。
英文中的副词的位置比较灵活。instead一般放在句首或句尾，但一定要在介词of、for、to的前面。
如这句：yearned instead for a home and family. 宁可期待有一个家和家庭。

4：In the course of this life I have had a great many encounters with a great many people who have been concerned w
