词法讲解
1. brave enough足够勇敢
enough的用法:
(1)enough作形容词时,意为“充足的; ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )足够的”,在句中可作定语或表语。作定语时,它的位置较灵活,既可放在所修饰词前,也可放在所修饰词后。如:21世纪教育网版权所有
We have enough time(time enough) to finish the work.21cnjy.com
我们有足够的时间来完成这项工作。
(2)enough作副词时,意为“充分地;足够地;十分”,修饰形容词、副词或动词,位于所修饰词之后。如:www.21-cn-jy.com
Are you warm enough in such a sweater
你穿这么一件毛衣够暖和吗?
enough往往用在be+形容词+enough+for+sb.+to do结构中,注意do后面不接宾语。如:
The room is big enough for me to live in.
这个房间对我来说足够居住了。
(3)enough作代词时,意为“足够;充分”。如:
—Would you like another piece of cake
你想再来一块蛋糕吗?
—I have had enough. 我已经吃够了。
2. a small number of people少数人
(1)a number of意为 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )“一些;若干”,修饰可数名词的复数形式,谓语动词用复数形式。number可用small, big, large来修饰。如:21·cn·jy·com
①A number of books are missing from the library.
图书馆里有一些书不见了。
②A large number of students in this college are learning English. 21·世纪*教育网
这个大学里的许多学生在学英语。
(2)the number of意为“……的数量”,修饰可数名词的复数形式,谓语动词用单数形式。如:

这个大学的学生数量在增加。
3. He was often absent from classes, and he failed his examinations.【来源:21cnj*y.co*m】
他经常缺课并且考试不及格。
(1)absent作形容词时,意为“缺席的”,其后常接介词 from。如:
They were absent from work that day.
他们那天都没有上班。
be absent from还可表示“缺少;没有;无”。如:
Love was totally absent from his childhood.
他在童年时代没有受到丝毫的疼爱。
absent作形容词,有时还表示“心不在焉的;茫然的”,通常只作定语。如:
He had an absent look on his face.
他脸上露出茫然的神色。
(2)absent作动词时,只用作及物动词,意为“缺席”,只接反身代词作宾语,表示“做某事缺席”,其后也接介词 from。如:【出处:21教育名师】
Why did you absent yourself from class yesterday
你昨天为什么没来上课?
4. take pride in和be proud of
(1)从意义上讲, take prid ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e in=be proud of,两者都是“以……为荣”的意思,既可接sb.,也可接sth.。但用法上,各自稍有侧重点:21教育网
be proud of从语法上可看出,描述的是“处于”proud的状态,暗含着因果关系。如:
I am proud of my ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) child. 我以我的孩子为荣(我为我的孩子感到骄傲)。既说明了“我”处于骄傲状态,也点出骄傲的原因在于后面。2·1·c·n·j·y
take pride in更多强调 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )的是一种主动的态度。I take pride in my work. 虽然也可以译成:我以工作为荣;但更有一层意思是:我在工作中,认真上进,我以此为荣。
正因如此,似乎具体的应用中,take pride in多接sth.。 如:
Do not be proud of your work, but take pride in your work!
不要只因你的工作而骄傲,而要为你的所作所为而自豪!
(2)be the pride of是……的骄傲
I want to be the pride of my parents.
我想成为我父母的骄傲。
句型讲解
1. This party is such a great idea!
这个聚会是如此好的一个主意!
such的用法:
(1)作形容词,起到一种强调作用。如:
①She has such a great talent for learning languages.【来源:21·世纪·教育·网】
她在学习语言上很有天赋。
②Why are you in such a hurry
你为什么这么匆忙?
【注意】通常情况下,如果such与名词之间还带有形容词,则不定冠词a/an要放在形容词前面。如:
We had such a wonderful time last weekend.
上周末我们过得很愉快。
这时也可以用so,但要说so wonderful a time。
(2)形成such... that结构,意为“如此……以至于”,表示因为前面提到的原因引起了某种结果。如:21*cnjy*com
①He speaks to me in such a way that I always feel angry.【版权所有:21教育】
他用那种方式跟我说话,以至于我总是很生气。
②It was such a boring movie that I fell asleep.
这部电影是如此的乏味,所以我睡着了。
2. It's been three ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )years since we last saw our primary school classmates.
自从上次我们小学同学见面以来已有三年了。(意思是“我们已经三年没见面了”)
(1)“It is(has been)+时间+since从句(动词用过去式)”表示“从……以来已有多长时间了”。如:21教育名师原创作品
It's been five years since I began to learn English.
从我开始学英语以来已经有五年了。
(2)since作介词或连词,意为“ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )自从……”,后接某一确定的时间点或时间状语从句,主句谓语动词是持续性动词,常与现在完成时态、现在完成进行时态或过去完成时态连用。如:
①He has been an English teacher since twenty years ago.
自从二十年前起他就是英语老师了。
②He has had the watch since he began to work.
从他开始工作起他就有那块手表了。
(3)since还可引导原因状语从句,意为“既然;由于”。如:
