The war for control of Carlos began the night he proposed,
and Gabrielle had been losing ground to Juanita ever since.
From the prenuptial agreement which she reluctantly signed…
to the selection of wedding music she despised…
to the color of the house paint she hadn’t wanted,
Gabrielle had suffered one defeat after another.
The storylines and settings of Desperate Housewives appeals to the mass population
and the creator had all the details arranged all too well,
from the in-depth depiction of a character
to the focus and shifting of the camera lens,
to the motions and postures of the acting……
instructive wording were laid out everywhere.
使用“From…to…to…”句型结构，能够通过多个分点印证作者要想表达的核心意思或想要证实的某个观点，从而增强代入感，牵引观众或读者跟着自己想要推进的剧情往下延伸。
