III. Grammar Points 语法重点

本课介绍介词与物体的关系，并介绍特殊问句的造句法。

1. 注意下列介词与物体的关系：
   inside + 物体 在该物体之内
   =in + 物体
   behind + 物体 在该物体的后面
   under + 物体 在该物体下方
   next to + 物体 紧邻于该物体
   例：There is a pen inside/in the box.
   (盒子里有枝笔。)
   There is a dog behind the door.
   (门后有只狗。)
   He is standing under an umbrella.
   (他正站在雨伞下。)
   Mary is sitting next to the window.
   (玛丽正坐在窗边。)

2. There are mice in Mrs. Lee's kitchen!
   (李太太的厨房里有老鼠!)
   我们再复习一下了There is/There are(有)与have/has(有)的用法。我们可用中文的句子清楚了解这些用法。凡以人或动物作主语时，就套用have或has作动词；凡以场所起首的句子，英文句首就应置 There is/There are 。
   例：中文：我（人）有只手表。
   英文: I have a watch.
   中文：这只猫（动物）有一根长尾巴。
   中文：客厅里（场所）有一个电冰箱。
   英文: There is a refrigerator in the living room.
   中文：书桌上（场所）有一本书和两枝铅笔。
   英文: There are a book and two pencils on the desk.

3. Why isn't Mrs. Lee's cat catching the mice?
   (李太太的猫为何不在抓这些老鼠昵?)
   本句是特殊问句。特殊问句就是用疑问副词why(为什么)、when(何时)、how(如何)、where(何处)或疑问代词who(谁，作主语)·whom(谁，作宾语)、what(什么)、which(哪个)等起首的问句。由于特殊问句需要广泛的篇幅方能详细说明，我们将在往后的课文中逐步介绍。这里就疑问副词(why、when、how、where)形成的问句大略介绍如下，以使读者对问句的造句有初步的了解：
   a. 疑问词一定置于问句句首。
   b. 问句要采用倒装句。

1. 原句有be动词时，该be动词要与主语倒装。
   例：中文：他为什么生气呢?
   英文: why is angry? ( X )
   → Why is he angry? ( O )
   中文：你为什么在哭呢?
   英文: You why are crying? ( X )
   → Why are you crying? ( O )
   中文：他为什么不在做功课呢?
   英文: He why isn't doing his homework?（ X ）
   → Why is not he doing his homework?（ X ）
   → Why isn't he doing his homework? （ O ）
   → Why is he not doing his homework? （ O ）
2. 原句有助动词如can(能够)、will(将要)、
   may(可以)等时，该助动词要与主语倒装。
   例：中文：你何时会来昵?
   英文：You when will come? ( X )
   → when will you come? ( O )
   中文：你如何做这件事呢?
   英文: You how can do it? ( X )
   → How can you do it? ( O )
3. 原句有一般动词时，一般动词与主语无法倒装，须按主语的人称在疑问词之后置do或does,再将动词改为动词原形。
   例：中文：他住在什么地方?
   英文: He lives where? ( X )
   Where he lives? ( X )
   → Where does he live? ( O )
   中文：他们为什么喜欢音乐?
   英文: They why like music? ( X )
   → Why do they like music? ( O )

4. It's staring at Rover with fear.
   =lt's staring at Rover fearfully.
   (它正惊恐地盯着来福。)
   上列第一句中with fear这个介词短语作副词用，等于第二句中副词fearfully ['fiəfuli]，用以修饰已成现在进行时短语动词的is staring at。

IV. Substitution 替换

1. There is a mouse on the kitchen table.
   There is a cat between the refrigerator and the stove.
   There are two cats to the right of the trash can.
   (厨房桌上有一只老鼠。)
   (电冰箱和炉子之间有一只猫。)
   (垃圾箱右方有两只猫。)
2. Why isn't Mrs. Lee's cat catching the mice?
   Why isn't she studying?
   Why aren't you cleaning your room?
   (李太太的猫为何不在抓这些老鼠呢?)
   (她为什么设在看书呢?)
   (你为什么不在打扫你的房间呢?)
