语法要点 学会提出请求

would you mind not playing basketball here?

Would you mind moving your car?

学习表示歉意

I’m sorry ,I’ll do it right away

Sorry, we’ll go and play in the park .

No,not at all .

基本用法:1)Would you mind doing?=Do you mind doing..?“你介意…?” “请你…好不好?”是一种比较客气的表达方式。

2)如果要表示“请你不要做…好吗?”只需在doing 前面加not.应答用语:

1)如果同意表示不介意时,可用如下用语来表达:Certainly not.; Of course not.;No,not at all.;Not at all.“好,可以”

2)如果不同意表示介意时,常用“Sorry.”“I’m sorry, but…”及陈述某种理由来表示拒绝或反对。;这一句型中的逻辑主语只能是谈话的对方you,如果想要对方允许自己做某事,可以用 “Would you mind my doing..?句型。

形容词与副词之间的转化:1)以le结尾去e变y,possiblepossibly;2)在形容词后直接加ly,usualusually;3)在以辅音字母+e结尾直接加ly,widewidely;4)以元音字母+e结尾,去e加ly,truetruly;5)以辅音字母+y结尾变y为i+ly,happyhappily

put on, wear, dress,have on, in: put on强调动作过程“穿上”为瞬间动词;wear表示结果或状态“穿着”,持续动词;dress强调穿的动作,后面不能跟宾语(衣服)等,还可以作名词,意思是“服装”,dress up化装,dress oneself 给某人穿衣服,dress in穿衣服,have on表示“穿…”,相当于wear,但没有进行时态;in介词,后跟表示颜色的名词,表示穿着某种颜色的衣服。

in a minute, soon等多用于将来时,表示即将去做某事

in+时间段,after+时间段:1)“in+时间段”只能用于一般将来时,“after+时间段”可以用于过去时和将来时2)当二者都用于将来时的时候“in+时间段”表示从现在算起在一定时间内,动作将在未来一周之内的某一个具体时间内发生。“after+时间段”是从这段时间之后算起,动作将在这段时间之后发生。

very, too, so, quite以上几个副词均修饰形容词,副词表示程度,“很,太,非常”;very应用最普遍“很”,只是一个表示程度的副词,它表示的程度比quite要强得多,very只用来修饰形容词和副词的原级;too“太”,一般表示“相对某人而言”;so“如此…,那么…”,往往表明某一事物的程度时,会引起另一种后果。换言之,so所修饰的人或物表示原因后面会有表示结果的句子。So…that…如此…以致于;quite既可以表示充分肯定,意思是 “完全;十分”,也可以表示程度,意思是“完全,十分”,也可以表示程度,意思是“相当”,quite可修饰动词,v.ing,形容词,副词,分词等。quite a +adj+n. a very+adj.+n

move from…to …从…搬到…,迁移;move on继续向前走

yet, already,still:yet用于疑问句中,意为“现在,已经”;用于否定句中,意为“还没”;already与still用于肯定句中,already意为“已经”,still意为“还,仍然”,already若用于疑问句中,表示惊讶或意外;yet与still都可以修饰比较级,意为“更加,益发”。

2) can通常只用于一般现在时和一般过去时,而be able to可用于各种时态。例如:

Will you be able to come to our party? 你能参加我们的聚会吗?

He hasn’t been able to go to office for a month. 他已经一个月没能上班了。

3) 在表示猜测时,只能用can, 而不能用be able to。例如:

Mr. Green can’t be at home now. 现在格林先生不可能在家。

【知识要点2】 such; so

【辨析】 so与such都表示“如此的;这么;这样”,so用来修饰形容词和副词;而such常用来修饰名词。例如:

He works so hard. 他工作那么努力。

She is such a good girl. 她真是个好女孩。

【知识要点3】 People will live to be 200 years old.

句中的live to be ...意为“活到……”。例如:

She lived to be a hundred. 她活到了100岁。

Though he is in poor health, the old man is living happily. 尽管身体不好,这个老人还是愉快地生活着。

【知识要点6】 There are many famous predictions that never came true.

1) come true 意为“实现;达到”。例如:

【知识要点7】 People in the future have their own robots.

in the future 意为“将来;未来”,相当于in the time yet to come; in future意为“从今以后”,相当于from now on。试比较:

Pay much attention to your handwriting in future. 今后要特别注意你的书写。

【知识要点8】 He thinks that it will be difficult for a robot to do the same things as a person.

句中that引导的从句作谓语动词thinks 的宾语。从句是“it + be + adj. + for sb. to do sth.”句式,其中it是形式主语,to do sth. 是真正的主语,句中的介词for引出不定式短语的逻辑主语a robot。例如:

It was really not easy for me to get up early on Sunday mornings. 对我来说,要在星期日早上早起确实不容易。

Unit2

【知识要点1】 also, too, as well 和either

also, too, as well 和either这四个词都意为“也”,但用法不同。

too用于肯定句,位于句尾,常用逗号分开。例如:

as well 在口语中用得较多,用法和too相同。例如:

Tom is the captain of the football team, and is on baseball team as well. 汤姆是足球队长,同时也是棒球队队员。

either只用于否定句中,置于句尾,且前面常有逗号分开。例如:

If you don’t go there, I won’t, either. 如果你不去那里,我也不去。

【知识要点2】 What’s wrong?

此句用来询问对方“怎么了?发生了什么事?”,类似的表达方法还有What’s the matter/ the trouble?

如果询问的是第三方,可用What’s wrong / the matter / the trouble with sb./sth.?表达。例如:

What’s wrong with your computer? 你的电脑怎么了?

What’s the matter/ the trouble with your mother? 你母亲怎么了/出了什么事?

【知识要点3】 I argued with my best friend.

【知识要点4】 Maybe you should call him up.

should 用作情态动词,表示责任、义务,意为“应该;理应”,也可表示一种估计或推测。should 的否定形式是should not,可缩写成shouldn’t。例如:

We should respect our teachers and parents. 我们应该尊敬老师和父母。(表示道义)

Jenny left yesterday and should arrive today. 詹妮昨天动身,今天应该到达。(表示推测)

【知识要点5】 I’m very upset and don’t know what to do.

what to do是动词不定式短语,它由“特殊疑问词+动词不定式”构成。动词不定式短语通常在句中充当宾语,相当于一个宾语从句。比如I don’t know what to do.就相当于I don’t know what I should do. (我不知道我该做什么。)

【知识要点6】 ... but now parents seem to push their children a lot more.

seem 意为“看起来;似乎”。后面可以接形容词、动词不定式或as if引导的结构。例如:

It seems as if it is going to rain. 看样子要下雨了。

【知识要点7】 Doctors say many children are under too much pressure.

1) under 意为“承受着;处于……状态中”,多指压力、负荷、条件、制约等。例如:

At last we brought the fire under control. 我们终于控制住了火势。

The matter is still under discussion. 这个问题还在讨论之中。

2) too much 与much too 的区别:

too much 意为“太多”,用作名词词组时,在句中作宾语或表语;用作副词词组时,修饰动词;用作形容词词组时,修饰不可数名词。例如:

Don’t speak too much. 别讲得太多。

I don’t like winter because there’s too much snow and ice. 我不喜欢冬天,因为有太多的雪和冰。

【知识要点1】 when和while

when和while这两个词都可以作连词用,引导时间状语从句,意为“当……的时候”,两者用法区别如下:

When I got home, my little brother was watching TV. 我到家的时候,弟弟正在看电视。

When I was doing my homework, she came in. 我正在做作业时,她进来了。

while引导的时间状语从句中的谓语动词,必须是延续性的。例如:

While we were having dinner, the telephone rang. 当我们吃饭时,电话铃响了。

若我们翻译“当他进来时,我正在看电视。”时,只能说:

When he came in, I was watching TV.

而不能说:

While he came in, I was watching TV.

【知识要点2】 happen和take place

happen和take place都有“发生”的意思,都是不及物动词,都没有被动语态。两者的不同之处在于:

happen 指某个事件的“突然发生”,主语往往是表示事件、事故的名词或代词。当happen后接动词不定式或用于It happens (to sb.) that中时,则意为“碰巧”。例如:

I don’t know what is happening in that building these days. 我不知道那栋楼房里这几天发生着什么事。

The traffic accident happened under my eyes. 我亲眼目睹了这场交通事故。

My cousin happened not to be at home. 我的表兄碰巧不在家。

take place 意为“发生;举行”时,常指某事件是按意图或计划“发生”的,不含偶然的意味。例如: When did the popular concert take place? 那场流行音乐会是什么时候开始的?

Great changes have taken place in our country since 1980. 自从1980年以来,我们国家发生了翻天覆地的变化。

在不强调偶然性与计划性的场合,两者可以通用。例如:

What has happened / taken place? 发生了什么?

【知识要点3】 While John was walking to school, he saw a cat in a tree.

in a tree 和on a tree都意为“在树上”,但用法不同。介词in 意为“在……范围内”,当表达“鸟、猴、松鼠、猫等活物停在树上”时,用in a tree。例如:

Is there a bird in the tree? 树上有只鸟吗?

Look! Some monkeys are playing in the tree. 看!一些猴子正在树上嬉耍。

当表达“苹果、香蕉、梨等长在树上”时,则用on a tree。例如:

There are many apples on the tree. 树上结着许多苹果。

【知识要点4】 She didn’t think about looking outside the station.

Each team thinks of 5 questions.

think about 与think of 的用法区别:

think about 意为“考虑; 想到(某人或某事)”。例如:

I’ll think about it. 我会考虑这件事。

Mike was thinking about his friends in the countryside. 迈克想起了他乡下的朋友。

think of 意为“考虑;打算;酝酿;思考;想”等。例如:

I’m thinking of going to town this afternoon. 我打算今天下午进城去。

She is always thinking of others. 她总为别人着想。

当表达“对……有某种看法”时,两者可以互换。例如:

We are thinking about / of going to Shanghai for our holidays. 我们正在考虑去上海度假的事。

What do you think of / about the film? 你认为那部影片怎么样?

【知识要点5】 ... when they heard about the event.

... when they heard the news of important events in history.

hear 与hear about都可意为“听说”,但用法不同。hear 后面跟宾语从句,hear about 后面跟名词、代词或动词的-ing 形式。例如:

We are sorry to hear that you are ill. 听说你病了,我们很难过。

Did you hear about the accident yesterday? 昨天那场事故你听说了吗?

hear 还可意为“听见;听到”,后接名词、代词、不带to 的动词不定式或v-ing 充当宾语补足语的复合宾语结构。例如:

He heard a knock at the door. 他听见有人敲门。

We often hear her sing this song. 我们经常听见她唱这首歌。

【知识要点6】 Although some people may not remember who murdered him, they remember what they were doing ...

although (= though) 是连词,意为“虽然”,用来引导让步状语从句。例如:

Although it was very late, we went to meet him at the station. 虽然很晚了,但我们还是去车站接了他。

注意:although /though不能与but 连用,但although 可以与yet, still连用。

试译:虽然他年龄大了,但他工作很努力。

【误】 Although he was old, but he worked hard.

【正】 Although he was old, (yet) he worked hard.

【正】 He was old, but he worked hard.

【知识要点7】 Not all events in history are as terrible as this, of course.

not all表达一种部分否定的概念,意为“不全是”。例如:

Not all of them went to the cinema yesterday evening. 昨晚他们并不是都去看电影了。(部分否定)

若要表达一种全盘否定的概念,要用none。例如: None of them went to the cinema yesterday evening. 昨晚他们都没有去看电影。
