Language Points
动词不定式作后置定语
动词不定式具有形容词性质, 在句中可作名词或不定代词的定语。这种定语往往只能后置, 并且与被修饰的词之间有一定的逻辑关系。
【例句】
I want to get something to drink. 我想要些喝的东西。
(不定式to drink与被修饰词something有逻辑上的动宾关系)
Is there anyone to take care of the children 有人照顾孩子们吗
(不定式to take care of与被修饰词anyone有逻辑上的主谓关系)
【拓展】
有些名词如chance (机会), way (方法), time (时间)等后常用不定式作定语。另外, something等复合不定代词后也常用不定式作定语。例如:
If you give me a chance to speak, I’ll explain.
要是你给我个说话的机会, 我会解释的。
Don’t just stand there, find something to do.
别在那儿干站着, 找点事情做吧。
2. Well, not exactly. (教材P70)
exactly adv. 正确地, 完全地, 精确地
exactly由形容词exact加上后缀-ly构成, 在句中常作状语。注意: not exactly意为“并没有, 并非如此”。
【例句】
Who can answer this question exactly
谁能准确地回答这个问题
— Is she your favourite author
她是你最喜爱的作家吗
— Not exactly, but I think she is a wonderful writer.
不完全是这样, 但是我认为她是一位了不起的作家。
3. In fact, there are about 800 000 words in the English language.
(教材P70)
in fact 事实上, 实际上
in fact一般放在句首, 也可放在句中作插入语, 但前面要用逗号隔开。其中fact作名词, 意为“事实”。
【例句】
He is not from England. In fact, he is a Japanese student.
他并非来自英国。事实上, 他是一位日本学生。
4. You don’t even need to move any letters around. (教材P70)
even adv. 甚至; 还; 其实
even修饰动词时, 要位于be动词、情态动词、助动词之后, 实义动词之前。
even可放在它所强调的词、短语或从句前, 用来加强语气, 表示“即使; 甚至......都”。
【例句】
Even a child can understand the book.
甚至连一个小孩子都能理解这本书。
Now even he doesn’t believe me.
现在连他都不相信我了。
need 需要
need作实义动词时有人称和时态的变化, 当主语是指人的名词或代词时, 后面接to do sth., 其否定形式为don’t need to do sth.;
当主语指物时, 后接doing sth.。
need作情态动词时, 可以直接否定, 即needn’t do sth.。
【例句】
She needs to finish the work in an hour.
她需要在一个小时内完成工作。
The bike needs repairing.
这辆自行车需要修理。
You needn’t do your homework right now.
你不需要立马做作业。
5. Dig in and enjoy! (教材P70)
dig v. 挖; 掘
dig的过去式和过去分词都是dug, 现在分词是digging。
dig in意为“开始认真工作; 钻研”。
【例句】
Peter dug in and finished his homework quickly.
Peter开始认真做家庭作业并很快把他的家庭作业完成了。
什么是情态动词
情态动词本身具有词义，但需要与动词原形及其被动语态一起使用，给谓语动词增添情态色彩，表示说话人对某一动作或状态的态度。情态动词没有人称和数的变化，也没有不定式、分词等形式，他们可以置于主语之前构成疑问句，还可以在其后加not构成否定形式。
情态动词can
1. can表示能力、许可、可能性。表示能力时一般翻译为“能；
会”, 即有这种能力, 尤其指生下来就具备的能力。例如：
Tommy can play the trumpet and draw pictures.
Tommy会吹小号和画画。
2. can只有现在式can和过去式could, 在表示其他时态时, 可以用be able to来代替。例如：
I could (=was able to) send e-cards before having the computer lessons. 在学计算机课之前我就会发送电子贺卡了。
又如：
He has been able to make a homepage and online shopping on the Internet. 他已经会在网上制作主页和进行网上购物了。
