Language points
Life is full of the unexpected. 生活充满了意外。
the unexpected 为名词化的形容词,意为
“出乎意料的事”。 英语中,有些形容词与定冠词the连用,表示一类人或事物,在句子中起名词的作用。
例:the homeless (无家可归者)
the disabled(残疾人)
the unwanted( 无人认领物品)
注意
当名词化的形容词用作主语时,谓语动词的单复数形式取决于它们所表示的概念的单复数情况。 多数情况下,表示一类人或物品时,谓语动词用复数;少数情况下,当指抽象概念或不可数的物品及事件时,谓语动词用单数。
例:The sick are always taken good care of in that hospital. 在那家医院里病人们总是受到很好的照顾。(the sick=the sick people)
(2) 这种结构中的形容词虽已名词化,但其语言
行为仍具有极强的形容词特征,受到副词修饰
或具有比较的特征。
例:The severely disabled need full-time care.重
度残疾人需要全天候拌护。
He is spoiled, and always asks for the most
expensive.
他被惯坏了,总是嚷着要最贵的东西。
(3) 名词化的形容词前面一般用定冠词the. 但
若由and链接(两形容词往往为反义词),
成对的使用时,又通常被省略。
例: He is popular with both young and old.
老老少少都喜欢他。
It is said that the man was widely
respected by both rich and poor.
据说那个人颇收人尊敬,无论是穷人还
是富人。
2. By the time I got up, my brother ______
already ______ in the shower. 我起床时,我弟弟已经进入浴室了。
“by the time”表示“当/到……时”,引导时间状语从句。如果从句中用了一般过去时,主语中常用过去完成时;如果主句中用了将来时,从句中常用一般现在时表将来。
例:By the time I got up, he had already left.
当我起床时,他已经离开了。
Language points
3. I was about to go up when I decided to get a coffee first.
be about to do sth.意为“刚要做某事,即将做某事。”表示即将发生的动作,在时间上指最近的将来。be about to do sth.通常不与具体的时间状语连用,而常与when引导的时间状语从句连用。
eg:I am about to go shopping this weekend.
我这个周末打算去购物。
The new school year is about to begin.
新学年开学在即。
I was about to go to school when it began to rain.
我正打算去学校,突然开始下雨了。
4.I felt lucky to be alive.
alive是形容词,侧重说明生与死之间的界限,既可指人,也可指物.可用来作表语,后置定语或宾补等。虽有死的可能,但还活着。
living 意为“活着的”,强调说明“尚在人间”,“健在”,可用来指人或物,作定语或表语。
live 意为“活的”,通常指物,不指人,常用作定语放在名词的前面。还指“实况转播的”。
lively 意为“活泼的”,“活跃热情的”,“充满活力的”,可作定语、表语或宾补,既可指人,又可指物。
5. We stared in disbelief at the black smoke rising above the burning building.
stare后常接介词at/into。v.“凝视,盯着”,指由于好奇、赞叹等原因而瞪大眼睛长时间地、直接地注视。
in disbelief 不相信 ,疑惑, 怀疑
above prep.
1)(表位置)在……正上方;高于”与 below相对。
2) 表示在地位/级别/能力/资历/重要性等方面“超过”、“在……之上”、“比……强”。
注意:on, over与above都可以表示“在……上”。
on表一物在另一物的表面上,两个物体相互接触
over表一物在另一物的垂直上方,两个物不接触,反义词为under;
above常笼统地表一物高于另一物体,反义词为below
