二、重点语句解析
1. They focus too much on studying, dealing with peer pressure and worrying about what others think, and not enough on other things. (P83,L2)
他们集中太多精力于学习,处理同龄人的压力并且担心他人的想法,而没有足够的精力去关注其他的事情。
解析
两个and在句中连接的并列成分作focus on的宾语。what在worry about后面引导宾语从句。
举例
Lily is good at playing the piano and drawing pictures.莉莉擅长弹钢琴和画画。
Sorry, I don't understand what you are talking about.抱歉,我不明白你在说什么。
运用
(1)Parents always stop their children from playing computer games ____________ watching Tv.
(2)他们已经做了他们能做的一切去帮助她。
They've done ____________ ____________ ____________ to help her.
2. You should be aware that stress is a risk to your health. (P83,L5)
你应该意识到压力对你的健康来说是一种风险。
解析
be aware后面接that引导的宾语从句。
举例
I was aware that she was trembling.我察觉到她在发抖。
运用
Were you aware ____________ Jill had this problem with her knee
3. One way to cancel out stress is through positive thinking. (P83,L10)
抵消压力的方法之一是通过积极乐观的思考。
解析
to cancel out stress是不定式作后置定语修饰way。through positive thinking是介词短语作表语。
举例
He got a chance to study abroad.他获得了一个出国留学的机会。
Mr Smith is still in bed.布朗先生还在睡觉。
运用
(1)Lily is always the first one ____________ (arrive) at school.
(2)We are out of food.(英译汉)
_______________________________________________________________________________
4.You can do this by taking a walk, reading a book, going to a concert or seeing a film, or just sitting in a private place and being silent for a moment. (P83,L15)
你可以通过散步、阅读、听音乐会或看电影,或只是坐在一个私人的地方静静地待一会儿来放松身心。
解析
or在句中表示选择关系,意为“或者”。or连接的多个并列成分通常在形式上应保持一致。
举例
You can send letters by email or by hand.你可以邮寄或者派人送信件。
运用
—Which do you prefer, playing football ____________ swimming
—Swimming.
5. When you are busy with a hobby, you leave all your worries behind. (P83,L20)
当你忙于一种爱好时,你会把所有的忧虑抛之脑后。
解析
when在句中引导时间状语从句,有时可与as、while互换。
举例
When she saw it, her face turned red.她看到它时脸红了。
辨析
when既可以表示时间点,也可以表示时间段。从句谓语动词可以是延续性的,也可以是非延续性的。
as表示“一边……一边……”,此时强调主句和从句的动作同时发生。
while只能表示时间段,从句谓语动词一般是延续性的。
运用
他年轻时总是尝试新想法。
____________ ____________ ____________ ____________, he was always trying some new ideas.
