1.Buying and implanting a pacemaker costs from five thousand to fifteen thousand dollars.

动名词做主语

1)动名词作主语通常表示抽象动作;而不定式作主语表示具体动作。
Smoking is prohibited(禁止)here.这里禁止抽烟。(抽象)
It is not very good for you to smoke so much.你抽这么多烟对你身体很不好。(具体)

(2)动名词作主语时,通常用以表示一件已知的事或经验。
不定式短语通常用来表示一件未完成的事或目的。
Climbing mountains is interesting.爬山很有趣。(经验)

在”There/It +be+ no use(good/help/need)”之后常用动名词做主语,而少用不定式,如: It /There is no use crying over the split milk. It /There isno help taking this medicine. 但是如果该句型中用了for引出不定式的逻辑主语,就只能用不定式,如:  There is no good for us to do that exercise.

2.He says reusing a pacemaker is an ethical way to provide health care to those who have no other way to get one.

no other没有别的

例句:The facts allow no other explanation.
      事实不容许有其他的解释。

no other than除…外没有, 只有

例句:He has no other friends than you.
      他除你以外没有朋友。

正是, 就是

例句:It was no other than my mother.
      这正是我的母亲。

3.They cleaned and disinfected the ones in good working order.

in good working order=in good conditions工作状态良好

4.If we show that this is safe, other academic centers in the United States as well as in Europe can then form their own pacemaker reutilization programs and really help out countries in Africa, really help out countries in Asia, who really have no other access to these type of devices.

help out帮助,帮忙,帮助某人解决困难

例句:She often helped out with washing in the hotel.
      她经常帮助那家旅馆洗东西。

have access to可以获得;进入

例句:Bank customers can have access to their checking accounts instantly through the electronic system.
      银行户主可通过电子系统即刻查找自己的支票活期存款账户。(或:银行客户可通过电子系统立即取出活期存款。)
