.Grammar Points 语法重点

本课主要介绍副词的功能及用法。

1. One day the hare proudly challenged the turtle to a race.
   (有一天免子骄傲地向乌龟挑战赛跑。)
   one day是表示时间的状语，可指过去或将来的某一天。换言之，one day可使用于过去时或将来时的句子中。
   例: One day I had dinner with her at that restaurant. (过去时)
   (有一天我曾和她在那家餐厅吃晚饭。)
   One day the little boy will be a great man. (将来时)
   (有一天这个小男孩会成为伟人。)
   注意：
   a. someday 将来有一天(用于将来时)
   例: Someday the little boy will be a great man.
   = One day the little boy will be a great man.
   (有一天这个小男孩会成为伟人。)
   b. the other day 前几天(用于过去时)
   例: The other day I met him at the train station.
   (前几天我曾在火车站遇见他。)
   以上这些副词或状语可置于句首或句尾。故上列各例句均可改写为：
   I had dinner with her at that restaurant one day.
   The little boy will be a great man one day.
   The little boy will be a great man someday.
   I met him at the train station the other day.
2. In the end, he was rewarded for his perseverance.
   (最后它因坚韧不拔的精神而获得回报。)
   in the end 到最后
   =at last
   in the beginning 起初
   =at first
   例: In the beginning of the race I was energetic,but in the end, I was exhausted.
   (比赛开始时我精力充沛,但到最后,我筋疲力尽。)
   3.本文中的诸多动词均有副词修饰。如:
   a. The hare can run very fast, but the turtle can only walk slowly.
   b. The turtle walked slowly but surely.
   一般而言，副词有下列几个主要功能:
   a. 修饰形容词，此时置于该形容词之前
   例: She is very beautiful. (她很美。)
   b. 修饰副词，此时置于该副词之前:
   He worked quite hard. (他工作相当努力。)
   c.修饰动词，此时多置于该动词之后
   例: He walked slowly. (他走得很慢。)
   John speaks English well. (约翰英语说得很好。)
   注意：
   very虽是副词，却无法修饰动词，只能修饰形容词或副词；但very much却可修饰动词，使用时置于句尾。
   例: He is very polite. (他很有礼貌。)
   He speaks Japanese very well. (他日语说的很好。)
   I very like him. ( X )
   I like him very much. ( O )
   (我很喜欢他。)
