Language points
1.Do you think there will be robots in people’s homes
你认为人们家里将有机器人吗?
这是一个含有宾语从句的主从复合句。其中,“Do you think”是主句部分,“there will be…”是从句部分,从句部分整个句子作为think 的宾语。
如果do you think放在句中,则为插入语,常放在疑问词之后,结构为:疑问词+do you think+主语+谓语+其他成分?
Do you think he is a teacher 你认为他是一名老师吗?
there will be意为“将有;会有”,是there be句型的一般将来时,可以与there is/are going to be进行句式转换,它们相对应的否定形式是there won’t be或there isn’t going to be。
特别注意:这两种形式中的be都是be动词原形,不能改成其他动词。
例:There is going to be a sports meeting tomorrow.
明天将有一场运动会。
there be句型遵循“就近一致”的原则,即离be近的是单数或不可数名词,be动词就用单数;离be近的是复数名词,be动词就用复数。
There is a book and two pens on the teacher’s desk.
讲台上有一本书和两支笔。
There are two pens and a book on the teacher’s desk.
讲台上有两支笔和一本书。
2. People will live to be 200 years old.
人们将会活到200岁。
live to be+基数词+years old,意思是“活到……岁”。其中live作动词,意为“活……;生活”。
Dogs can live to be fifteen years old.狗能活15年。
(1)live on sth.意为“靠……为生”,这里的sth.常为表示“食物”的名词;live on sb.则表示“靠某人生活”。
Most Asians live on rice. 大多数亚洲人以大米为主食。
(2)live by...表示“靠……(手段)谋生”, by后通常跟表示方式、手段的动名词。
The old man lives by hunting. 这位老人靠捕猎为生。
3.Will people use money in 100 years
100年以后人们还使用钱吗?
in 100 years意为“在100年以后”,其中in为介词,其后跟一段时间表示“在……之后”,通常用于一般将来时,对其提问要用how soon(多久以后)。
I will come back in a week.我将在一周后回来。
in与for
in
for
表示以现在为起点的将来某一段时间之后
用how soon提问
表示某个动作或状态持续多长时间
用how long提问
5.Everyone should play a part in saving the earth.
每个人都应当尽一份力来拯救地球。
play a part in… 意为“参与……;在……中扮演角色;在……中起作用”,相当于play a role in… 。
使用时经常在part或role的前面加no,(not) any, important, significant等形容词修饰。
该短语为动宾结构短语,in后接名词或动名词。
He played an important part in the TV show.
他在那部电视剧中扮演一个重要的角色。
