3. They really do reach out to us across the centuries as
if time itself were nothing.
思考:What does “They” refer to in this sentence
“They” refers to these great works of art.
思考:Why does the author use “do” here
此处用的是do表强调的用法,可理解为“的确;务必”之意。
Important sentences
注意:
1) 用于表示强调的do可以有时态的变化,但其后的动词要用原形。
He does speak well! 他的确讲得很精彩!
2) do和does用于一般现在时,did用于一般过去时。所以能用do强调的时态只能是一般现在时或一般过去时。
do表示强调的用法
主语 + do (does / did) + 谓语 + 其他,do放在谓语动词之前。
短语reach out to sb 原意为“愿意倾听”,在本句中是“到达;在……面前出现”的意思。
3. They really do reach out to us across the centuries as
if time itself were nothing.
across常与表示地点的词搭配,表示“从一边到另一边;穿过,越过”,但在本句中across与表示时间的词搭配,across the centuries意为“跨越了几个世纪”。
Important sentences
as if 意为“仿佛,好像”,此处用了虚拟语气的形式。
as if / though 引导方式状语从句或表语从句,有时从句的谓语部分要用虚拟语气形式,其形式为:
a. 一般过去时(与现在事实相反)
