Language points
2. spend 花费(时间、金钱等)。
1) spend + (时间、金钱) + on sth.
e.g. 杰克每天花很多时间做作业。
Jack spends a lot of time on his homework.
2) spend + (时间、金钱) + doing sth.
e.g. 我妹妹每天花很多时间读书。
My sister spends much time reading books.
3. money 是不可数名词, 作单数看
e.g. 钱是重要的,但并不是一切
Money is important, but it isn’t everything.
4. To get there, I usually walk out and
turn right on Bridge Road.
这是英语行文的一种方式,在句子开头用to do…短语,并用逗号将其与句子的主体部分隔开,相当于汉语“(若)要做……的话”。
e.g. To listen to world news, please key
in “1”.
若要收听国际新闻,请键入“1”。
5. You can get to the library easily. 你可以容易地到达图书馆。
easily 是副词,在这里修饰动词get.
6.To get to the park, you just have to cross Center Street.
to get to the park 是目的状语前置,此句子
中的just起增强语气的作用,和此处的have to
表示“只要,仅需”。
7. It is very quiet and I enjoy reading there.
enjoy 表示“从中得到乐趣;欣赏;喜欢”,
后接动词时候,动词用-ing形式,即enjoy doing
…,表示喜欢做某事,享受做某事带来的乐趣。
e.g. I enjoying listening to soft music.
我喜欢听轻柔的音乐。
拓展:
enjoy oneself 表示 “玩的高兴,愉快”
e.g.: Our classmates enjoy ourselves.
