【课文讲解】

1、Last week ata dinner party, the hostess asked me to sit next to Mrs. Rumbold.

dinner为不可数名词,“at a

dinner party”中的“a”并不修饰“dinner”而是 “party”,have dinner不加“a”

ask sb. to dosth.   叫某人做某事

next to     与……相邻,挨着(既可表示座位挨着也可以表示地理位置上挨着) 

2、Mrs. Rumboldwas a large, unsmiling lady in a tight black dress.

unsmiling表示bad mix,很难与人融合。unsmiling的反义词为smiling(微笑的,喜气洋洋的)。有些形容词前面可以加上前缀un-来表示相反的意义:comfortable(舒服的)/ uncomfortable(不舒服的),true(真实的)/untrue(不真实的),interesting(有趣的)/

uninteresting(无趣味的,乏味的)。

in在这里表示“穿着、戴着”:

  A young man in a blue dress is inquiring foryou.

(inquiring forsb.    要找(某人),求见某人)

3、She did noteven look up when I took my seat beside her. take a seat 坐下,比sit要正式

 take one’s seat 表示位置事先已安排好

 4、'if you ate more and talked less, we wouldboth enjoy our dinner!’

在并列句中,相同的句子成分(如主语、谓语、状语等)通常由同一词性的单词/词组表示,并且它们的长度也差不多,以保持句子的平衡性。

  You can either go out or stay here.

【Composition】

1  She refusedto answer any questions. She did not ask any questions. (not only…but…either)

2  She was notinterested in the theatre. She was not interested in travel. (neither…nor)

1 She not onlyrefused to answer question but she did not ask any question either. =She notonly refused to answer question but ask no question either.

but…as well 可以加肯定也可以加否定 ;but…either只能加否定

as well, either 在此句中可省略

2 She wasinterested in neither the theatre nor travel.

=She was interested

neither in the theatre nor in travel.(更好, 介词短语的并列)

【Key structures】

第2类条件句(虚拟条件句)

第1类条件句,谈论将有可能发生的事情,并且考虑其将来的真实结果。主句用一般将来时,从句用一般现在时或其他形式的现在时。

If you help me,I

will be gratefull. 如果你帮我, 我会感激你 (正常语气)

If it rains, I willnot go.   正常语气(不一定会去)

第2类条件句,if从句谈论想象的情况(假设与现在事实相反),主句则推测想象的结果。 从句使用一般过去时, 主句使用would+动词原形。尽管第2类条件句使用过去时,却并非指过去的时间,所以,if之后的过去时用法常被称为“非真实的过去”,整个条件句也被称作非真实条件句。

If you helped me,Iwould be grateful.

假如你能使他改变主意, 你会使他免了许多麻烦.

如果if从句中的动词是be, 那么应该在第一和第三人称单数名词之后用were。If I were you这种说法常用于提出建议。If I were you, I’daccept their offer.

第2类条件句有时也可代替第1类条件句来描述颇有可能发生的事情,但比第1类条件句较为“无把握”。第2类条件句经常用来描写完全不可能的事情。If I had longer legs, I’d be able to run faster.

【Special Difficulties】

trouble(捣蛋,制造麻烦); make money(挣钱); make a speech(演讲);make a mistake(犯错误);make

【课文讲解】

1、Do you callthat a hat?

“Do you call that

+(冠词)+名词”这个结构可以表达一种轻蔑的含义:

 Do you call that a house/?你把那个叫房子/?

2、You needn'tbe so rude about it.

be rude aboutsth.  对事很粗鲁

be rude to sb.    对人很粗鲁

3、I sat down

on one of those modern chairs with holes in it and waited. on the chair 在椅子上

4、We had beenin the hat shop for half an hour and my wife was still in front of the mirror.

名词修饰名词, 一般用单数:bookstore书店,drugstore药店,

5、I regrettedsaying it almost at once.

regret doing sth./名词/that从句  后悔已经做了某事,表示对做过的事感到遗憾

regret to dosth.   表示对现在或将来要做的事感到对不起、遗憾,比be sorry to do

sth.要正式:

  6、'You needn't have said that,' my wifeanswered. 'I needn't remind you of that terrible tie you bought yesterday.'

needn't do   现在的动作也不必做

7、'I find itbeautiful,' I said.

can never…too…=cannot…too…   无论……也不为过I can never thank you too much.   感激不尽。

【Key structures】

Must, Have (got) toand Need

情态动词must(必须,不得不)的否定式 mustn't(不能、不准),must还可用于表示推测:

①对现在和将来的推测:must

+动词用原形

②对正在发生的事情的推测:mustbe doing

③对过去的推测:musthave done

④对过去正在发生的事情的推测:must have been doing

用must的一般疑问句可以用must/have to或needn’t来回答,而不用mustn’t:

  Must I set off now?Yes, you must / haveto. 

No, you needn’t.

mustn’t表示绝对禁止,在说话人看来,根本没选择余地: “不必要”可用needn’t,don’t have to来表示:

needn’t = don’thave to

needn’t have done =didn’t have to

 You needn’t / don’t have to work such longhours.

英语中的need有两种词性,一个是普通动词(需要),一种是情态动词。need的否定形式对应也有两种: needn't 不必(情态动词need的否定); don't need 不需要(普通动词need的否定)。

need I...?(情态) / do I

need...? 实义动词

在实义动词后面再加一个实义动词, 就在后面加to do.Need I go out? = Do I need togo out?  情态动词后面不能直接用名词做宾语,实义动词后面可以直接加名词, 故need 后面如是名词, 则这个need 为实义动词

例:He__c__follow me .

a doesn’t need     bneedn’t to  c didn’t need to d. needs

need用于疑问句时,问者往往希望得到否定的回答:Need you leave so soon?   你有必要这么早就走吗?

用need的一般疑问句的肯定形式的回答可以用must/had to,否定形式的回答可以用needn’t:

  Need I type this letter again?

  Yes, you must. / No, you needn’t.

  Need you have told him about my plans?

  Yes, I had to. / No, I needn’t have.

表示必要时,must的语气比need要强:

  I must go to the dentist this moring.

这种句型可用来表示说话人让对方选择或允许对方可以不做某事的主观意图。它的完成式和过去式分别为needn’t have,didn’t have to和didn’t need to:

  I needn’t have gone to the office yesterday.

  I didn’t have to / didn’t need to go to theoffice yesterday.

need doingsth.   需要被做(用主动表达被动含义)

① 这里need属于实义动词, 动词ing相当于名词来理解

② 有时态和人称变化,否定式为: don’t need doing

③ need doing 表达被动含义, 如: Your shoes need washing. 你的鞋子需(被)洗了

另外want doing也是用主动表示被动含义,它们的主语一定是物, 不是人Your hair needs cuting.

need to be done---主语是人,也可以是物

  对比 mustn't和 needn't:

You musn’t read itbed. It’s bad for your eyes.

(be bad for…    对……有害)

Smoking is bad foryour health.  抽烟有害你的健康

You mustn't make anoise. The children are asleep. You needn't drive so quickly. We have plenty oftime.

=You don't haveto(haven't got to) drive so quickly. We have plenty of time.

Special Difficulties】

Remark, Observe andNotice

remark与observe都可以表示“说,评论说”,它们比say要正式:

‘You’re lookingvery well!’She remarked/observed.

notice和observe都可以表示“注意到,察觉到”,但有一定区别。notice指无意中“察觉到”;observe则可以指有意观察、仔细地看,比notice更正式:

He observed mecarefully. (He looked at me.)  Did younotice how she was dressed?  

  I’ve noticed/observed that he telephones heroftener than before.

 make rude remark / call one's name / say Fwords (F指 fuck) 讲粗话,骂人

furniture round that you can not fail to notict it.我已经把周围的家具都换了。

a. mustn't      b.won't    c. needn't  d. don't need

课文讲解】

1、When a planefrom London arrived at Sydney airport, workers began to unload a number ofwooden boxes which contained clothing.

a number of…   许多,若干…….

unload 的含义为“卸(货)”,它的反义词为load(装货)。与形容词uncomfortable,unsmiling等相似,有些动词加前缀un可以表示做相反的动作。

clothing服装的总称,不可数名词,在分类时强调衣服这一种类,可包括鞋、帽等;clothes一般指衣服,表"衣服"的单数名词的复数形式, 表许多衣服。

2、No one couldaccount for the fact that one of the boxes was extremely heavy.

No one couldaccount for the fact that…  谁也弄不清楚……这样一个事实

account for =explain= give the explanation  说明原因、作出说明(或解释),但也有区别,account 的解释必须是令人满意的,而explain 却只要是一个解释就行  How do you account for the battered car?

that后面的从句为fact的同位语从句,说明fact的具体内容。一个句子跟在一个名词后,可以是定语从句,也可以是同位语从句。两者的区别是同位语从句后的that是起解释说明的作用,而定语从句是起修饰作用;that在从句中做主语或宾语成分,则是定语从句,that在从句中不能做主语或宾语成分,则是同位语从句

3、It suddenlyoccurred to one of the workers to open up the box.  sth. occurred to sb.    某人想起某事

open up     打开

 4、He was astonished at what he found.

sb. be astonishedat sth.    某事使/让某人吃惊

top of之前的词属于其之后的词的范围之内)

6、He had had along and uncomfortable trip, for he had been confined to the wooden box forover eighteen hours. over = more than

have a trip = go ona trip

be confined to  把……限制起来

 for在文中这里强调事实, 而非原因

7、The man wasordered to pay $3,500 for the cost of the trip.

1、Tired ofsleeping on the floor, a young man in Teheran saved up for years to buy a realbed.

be tired of    对……感到厌倦,在这句话里省略了现在分词being,用形容词短语直接做原因状语,其作用相当于原因状语从句as he was

tired of…。

I always go to bedhungry.  (用形容词直接做状语)

I went home. I amtired. => I went home tired

save up      攒钱,储蓄

  2、For the first time in his life, he became theproud owner of a bed which had springs and a mattress.

for the first timein one's life     平生第一次

3、Because theweather was very hot, he carried the bed on to the roof of his house.

on to(onto) 类似与 in

to(into),用于表示动作方向而不用于表示静态的位置,不但有“去”的概念还有把它放到“on”(上面)的概念。onto/on to有时可用on代替,但表示位置的on不可用onto代替:

Lift sth. on to thecart.

The pen is on thetable.  (不能用onto/on to)

Mr. Thompson isjumped onto the stage.   汤普森先生跳上了台上。Mr.Thompson jumped on the stage. 汤普森先生在台上跳了跳。

4、He sleptvery well for the first two nights, but on the third night, a storm blew up.

blow up   风越刮越大(程度在加深),(指暴风雨)出现并加剧;刮起speak up   大声点

5、A gust ofwind swept the bed off the roof and sent it crashing into the courtyard below.

gust表示“一阵强风,一阵狂风”,既可单独使用,也可用a gust of wind形式:

  A gust (of wind) blew my hat off.

 She set off even though the wind was blowingin gusts.虽然当时阵阵狂风吹着,她还是出发了。

off = down/awayfrom

below  直接放在被修饰词之后作定语

crashing into the

courtyard below是现在分词短语,作宾语补足语。crash (不及物动词)直接用主动形式,smash(及物动词)可用被动

一个句子中不能出现两个动词,如果出现了两个动词,要用and或but连接;或者把其中一个作为非谓语动词to do(表目的),-ed(表被动),-ing(表主动)。

6、The youngman did not wake up until the bed had struck the ground.

not…until表示“直到……才”,until前面没有not时,与表示一段时间的“持续动词”连用;有not时,常用表示某一时间点的动词(或瞬间动词)连用:

  7、Although the bed was smashed to pieces, theman was miraculously unhurt.

although 尽管;though 虽然,意义差不多,以从句出现  to pieces    粉碎地,成碎片地

 8、Glancing at the bits of wood and metal thatlay around him, the man sadly picked up the mattress and carried it into hishouse.

glancing为现在分词,引导的短语相当于一个时间状语从句after he glanced at…。动词的ing形式一定强调某一个名词之间的主动关系。

glance   v.看一眼,扫视

 Joe glanced through the newspaper whiletalking to me.乔一边和我聊天,一边浏览报纸。

bits = pieces

lie (lay,lain)  不及物动词,后面一定要加“around”,不能说成“lay him”

letter writing

大多数书信都以“dear”开头,后接姓名,“dear”这个词一定要在信纸的左手边顶格。第二行如要退格是退5个字符, 现在西方都是顶格写。

Key structures

复合句的语序

复合句可用两种方法构成:一是用连词把从句与主句连接起来;二是用分词结构或不定式。

1、用连词连接的复合句

①在复合句中,从句可以是名词从句(即起名词的作用)。在句子中,它可以作主语、宾语或be等系动词的表语,一般由that引导,有时也用what(疑问词引导的除外)

②从句可以是关系(或形容词)从句,关系代词通常有who,whom,that,which和whose。

③从句可以是状语(或副词)从句,时间状语连词有when,after,before,as soon as,until,while,as,since等;地点状语从句连词有where,everywhere,anywhere等;方式状语从句连词有as或短语in the way (that)等,方式状语从句在动词be,feel,seem,appear等后面也可以由连词as if和as though来引导;原因状语从句由because,as等引导;条件状语从句可由if及其他连词引导;让步状语从句使句子具有对比的因素,它们一般由连词although,though,even

though,even if等引导;目的状语从句可由so

that,in order that等连词引导;结果状语从句描述结果,可由so+形容词+that引导,也可由such

(a) +(形容词) + 名词 + that来引导;比较状语从句结构包括as +形容词/副词 + as,not so/as … as,形容词/副词的比较级 +than,more…than,less…than等

2、分词结构的复合句

①用现在分词结构可以代替时间从句、原因从句、关系从句等,现在分词结构的这种用法仅限于两个动作的主语一致的时候。用它代替时间从句时,分词结构表示的动作如果发生在前,则分词结构要位于主语前;如果两个动作同时发生,那么分词结构既可以位于主句前,也可以位于主句后。分词结构位于主句前面时,要用逗号隔开。

Feeling tired, Iwent to bed earlier than usual.

②过去分词结构常用于比较正式的文体,往往代替被动语态

Followed by his

mom, he went there. (被动概念,)

3、不定式结构的复合句

这种结构通常可以代替表示目的或表示条件的状语从句:To get into university you have to pass a number of examinations.

old。这些形容词后要跟复数动词,不可用这些形容词本身来指个体:This is a special

school for the deaf. 如果想指单数个体,则可以说:

  Sam is a young man with a lot of money.

3、当下列名词指其“主要目的”,即与其相关的动作时,要用零冠词(即名词前没有冠词)。这类名词有bed,church,class,college,hospital,market,prison,school,sea,university,work。

但在特指的东西面前要用the,泛指同类事物中的任何一个时则用a。

4、在形容词/副词的最高级前面要用the,但当most表示“大多数”时它前面则不加the。

the most  最most of the…   大部分的……
