《小王子英文版》精读笔记Chapter 14-9

He breathed a sigh of regret, and said to himself, again, “That man is the only one of them all whom I could have made my friend. But his planet is indeed too small. There is no room on it for two people...”

What the little prince did not dare confess was that he was sorry most of all to leave this planet, because it was blest every day with 1,440 sunsets!

〖精读笔记〗

breathe [briːð] v. 呼吸

regret [rɪˈɡret] n.遗憾，歉意

could have done表示对过去的虚拟，表示本来可以交朋友，但实际没有成为朋友。

make用法

1. make +宾语＋宾补，make此时为使役动词，“使什么怎么样”

→本句中，whom作make的宾语，my friend作宾语补足语

2. make也可以作双宾动词，即“make + 间接宾语 + 直接宾语”结构，“为某人制作某物”

e.g.

She made John a good cake.她给约翰做了一块好吃的蛋糕。

Tips

检验双宾语与宾语补足语的方法：be动词检验法

在宾语后边添加be动词，以连接宾语与其后续成分，构成一个句子。

如果句子逻辑语义成立，则后续成分是宾语补足语；

如果句子逻辑语义不成立，则后续成分是直接宾语。

indeed [ɪnˈdiːd] adv.的确；实在；确实，当然

room [ruːm] n.空间，空地方

dare（敢于，胆敢）用法

1.作实义动词

有各种词形变化，构成疑问和否定时需要借助do

dare (to) do sth.敢于做某事

e.g.

He doesn't dare to fight.他不敢斗争。

2.作情态动词

后接动词原形，一般现在时没有词形变化，构成疑问句和否定句时也不借助do

e.g.

She dare not say what she thinks.她不敢说出她的想法。

confess [kənˈfes] v.承认；坦白

blest[blest] v.祝福；保佑（bless的过去分词形式）
