rain,shower与storm 作名词时,都有“雨”之意,具体含义却不相同。
rain:“雨,雨水”,是一个总称,具体是什么样的雨,要有一定的修饰词。
After a heavy rain, the trees were getting greener.
一场大雨过后,树木更绿了。
I enjoy walking in light rains.
我喜欢在小雨中漫步。
单词辨析
shower:“阵雨”,也有“阵雪”之意,特指下雨的时间短暂。
I got caught in a shower on my way here.
到这儿的路上我被阵雨淋了。
storm:“暴风雨”,特指天气环境的恶劣,经常带大风、冰雹、沙尘、雷电等修饰。
The rain storm caused a lot of trouble to the farmers.
这场暴风雨给农民带来许多麻烦。
Because of a sand storm, the highways were closed for a day.
由于一场沙尘暴,公路被迫关闭了一天。
1. Are you joking
joke v. 说笑话;开玩笑
(1) You’re joking! 你一定是在开玩笑吧!
表示对某人所说的话表示不相信或惊讶,也可以说“You must be joking! ”。如:
Is it true You must be joking!
是真的吗?你是在开玩笑吧!
(2) joke with sb. 和某人开玩笑
He often jokes with me.
他经常和我开玩笑。
(3) joke about sth. 就某事开玩笑
Peter often jokes about my mistakes.
彼得经常拿我的错误开玩笑。
joke n. 笑话;玩笑(可数)
常见搭配:
tell jokes 讲笑话
make jokes about 取笑…,相当于laugh at
The teacher often tells jokes in class.
老师经常在课上讲笑话。
The other children often make jokes about him.
其他的孩子经常取笑他。
2. might
might v.aux. 可能;也许
I thought you might like to read the letter.
我想,你或许想要读一下这封信。
注意:
may和might没有太大的区别,形式上might是may的过去式,但在表示将来的情况时,might表示的可能性比may表示的可能性更小。
3. …, although this year it snowed quite a lot.
although conj. 然而;尽管
Although my uncle is old, he looks very strong and healthy.
我的叔叔虽然老了,但他看上去还是很健壮。
He was not unhappy although he had to live alone.
虽然他不得不要一个人住,却没有不开心。
注意:
1. although可置于句首(此时多用逗号与主句分开), 也可置于句末(此时用不用逗号均可) 。
2. although不能与but在句中同时出现,即有了although就不可以再用but。但although可与副词yet连用。
【2012 江西】29. ______ the girl is only mine, she takes care of her brother and cooks meals every day.
A. If B. Because
C. Although D. As
【2014河北】Eric arrived on time, ______ it was the rush hour.

C. while D. unless
C
A
3. Me neither.
neither adv. (某人或某事物) 也不
He hasn't got a ticket and neither have I.
他没有票,我也没有。
You didn't see him and neither did I.
你没有看见他,我也没有。
If you do not go, neither shall I.
你不去我也不去。
— Jack I couldn't believe he could work
it out.
— _______, but he really got it right.
A. So I didn’t B. Me too
C. Neither did I D. So did I
C
either 和neither的用法区别
都可用作副词。either只用于否定句中, 表示“也(不)”;neither通常用在句子(或简略答语)的开头, 表示“也不”, 其后要用倒装语序(即:将主语放在助动词、情态动词、连系动词be之后)。如:
I don’t speak French. She doesn’t, either.
If she won’t go, neither shall I.
=If she won’t go, I won’t, either.
要是她不去, 我也不去。
I don’t like the singing group, because the members are not gook-looking. He doesn’t like it, _______. A. too B. also C. either D. neither
试题分析:句意:我不喜欢这个歌唱组合,因为成员们长得不好看。他也不喜欢。too“也”用于句末,用于肯定句,also“也”用于句中,用于肯定句;either表示“也”时,用于否定句句末;neither“两者都不”。结合句意,故选C。
C
4. probably
probably adv.或许;可能
所表示的可能性比较大,表示有充分的依据、合乎情理或有望实现。如:
It will probably clear up this afternoon.
今天下午天气大概会晴朗。
We're going on holiday soon, probably next month.
我们很快就要去度假了,可能是下个月。
— Can you catch what I said
— Sorry, I can _______ understand
it.
A. almost B. probably
C. nearly D. hardly
D
probably, possibly和maybe的区别
probably肯定的成分较大,是most likely的意思。
possibly常和can, may must等情态动词连用,比probably语气弱得多。
maybe主要用于非正式场合,口语中常用,语气比perhaps较轻。
5. What … like
What … like 表示“……怎么样 ”, 相当于how。
— What’s the story like
(= How’s the story )
这个故事怎么样?
— It’s very interesting.
很有意思。
What’s the weather like today
= How is the weather today
今天天气怎么样?
[注意]
询问天气用what和how来提问,how后面不能再接like。
6. better get going! 好了,走吧。
better get going相当于had better go,
意思是“最好现在去/ 走”。
We’d better get going (= go now), or
we’ll be late.
我们最好现在就走吧,不然的话要迟到了。
