Interesting knowledge
美杜莎是一位美丽的少女,她和海皇波塞冬(Poseidon)在雅典娜(Athena)的神庙里苟且,因此激怒了雅典娜,而被雅典娜剥夺美貌,并且将头发变成毒蛇,成为一头面目狰狞的怪物,人只要碰到三姐妹的目光,就立即变成石头。
宙斯之子珀尔修斯(Perseus)知道这个秘密,因此背过脸去,用光亮的盾牌作镜子,找出美杜莎,在雅典娜和赫耳墨斯的帮助下割下了她的头。从美杜莎的躯体里跳出双翼飞马珀伽索斯和巨人克律萨俄耳,他们都是波塞冬的后代。珀尔修斯躲避美杜莎两个姐姐的追杀时,在空中遇到狂风的袭击,被吹得左右摇晃,从美杜莎的头颅上滴下的鲜血落到利比亚沙漠中,成为毒蛇。
戈耳工的血液虽然剧毒,却拥有特殊的力量,曾赋予埃里克特翁尼亚斯(Erichthonius)以起死回生的能力。珀尔修斯(Perseus)用割下的美杜莎的头颅杀死了海怪塞特斯(Cetus),回去后把头颅交给雅典娜,雅典娜把它固定在自己的盾牌(Aegis)中央。戈耳工三姐妹的头像常被艺术家用在象征性的徽章、建筑的装饰物甚至雅典的钱币上,也曾用于士兵的盾牌上。敌人看了盾牌上的美杜莎的脸就会变成石像。古希腊人将美杜莎的头像绘制在盘子上,以达到趋吉避凶的效果。

Text Explanation
1、Jasper White is one of those rare people who believe in ancient myths.
one of +名词/代词 其中之一(of后面的名词必须是复数,但与这个结构连用的动词必须是单数)
One of your friends is waiting for you now.
如果在定语从句中出现了one of作为先行词, 它后边的关系代词指代的是后面的复数名词;如果在 one of前面还有一修饰词 (the) only,那么后边的关系代词将指代one这个词, 才作单数看
He is the only one of those rare people who believes in ancient myths.
one of 直接作主语的时候, 它是做单数看待的
One of the answers is true.
One of those people is good.
believe vt. 相信,认为
Do you believe that cats eat grass
believe in 信任,信赖(人格、力量等);信仰;相信……的存在,相信……的价值
I believe in God.
I’ve never believed in John.
2、He has just bought a new house in the city, but ever since he moved in, he has had trouble with cars and their owners.
ever since =since 从那以后一直(ever since的语气比since强,主句一般用完成时)
I’ve been interested in flying ever since I was a boy.
He left the village last year and has never returned ever since.
have trouble doing 做……有麻烦
have trouble with sb. 和某人相处有麻烦
I have trouble with my roommate.
3、Because of this, he has not been able to get his own car into his garage even once.
because只能作连词用,后面接从句
You can’t remember his name, because you aren’t really thinking.
because of 由于,介词短语,后面不可以跟从句,只能跟名词、代词或动词 “-ing”
He came back early because of the rain.
be able to 的主语一般都是人, 表示有能力去做;can表示天生的或学到的能力时,只能用于现在时和过去时(could),而不可用于将来时。将来时中表示能力时必须用be able to。在现在时和过去时中,can/could与be able to一般可以互换,在完成时中一般用be able to。
Tom is only 9 months old and he is already able to stand up.
I’ll be able to pass my driving test after I’ve had a few lessons.
get sth. into 把……弄进
get his car into his garage
drive the car into 把车子撞上……
I drove the car into the wall /tree.
even once 甚至一次(even 起强调)
4、It is one of the ugliest faces I have ever seen.
“I have ever seen” 做定语从句, 修饰前边的faces
如果关系词在从句中做宾语, 关系词可以省略, 所以 I 前的which被省略
This is the most difficult thing I have ever done.
This is the most terrible news I have ever heard.
有两个结构一定用最高级:
of+范围
of all the students
in+地点
He is the tallest in the room.
5、Jasper hopes that she will turn cars and their owners to stone.
hope 的后面加that从句
turn sth. to… 把前者变成后者
turn the prince to a frog
He was turned to a frog.
They have turned the famous beauty spot to/into an ugly place.
6、But none of them has been turned to stone yet!
none of,neither of做主语时做单数看待
【Key structures】
What has happened 现在完成时 与现在完成时连用的副词和副词短语:before(now),so far,up to/till now,just,already,now,ever,never,since和for 等,since一般与一个时间点连用,for一般与时间段连用。
【Special Difficulties】
关系从句及关系代词
关系从句又可称为定语从句或形容词从句,它像形容词一样可以形容人、物及事件。关系从句可分为限定性关系从句(不带逗号)和非限定性关系从句(带逗号)。
表示人的关系代词:who,whom,that,whose(口语中whom经常由who代替)
表示事物和动物的关系代词:which,that
关系代词可以有四个概念 :
① 代人的, 做主语或宾语who,只做宾语的whom
② 代物的, 做主语或宾语 which
③ 代人的也可以代物的 做主语或宾语 that
④ whose其代表的东西由其在句子中的成分决定(不一定指人)
关系代词后面要加从句,先行词放在定语从句前面, 而且是两句话共同含有的词, 还是被定语从句修饰的词
I have a book that/which he likes.( “book” 为先行词 “that/which” 为关系代词)
关系代词有两个功能 : 一是承上, 一是启下(如上句中的 “book” 作从句的宾语)
The boy who is standing at the door is my brother.
I can do anything that I can do.
The boat whose name is...
I have a house whose windows are broken.
关系代词在关系从句中作宾语时往往可以省略,作主语时则不可以。
The millionaire whose son ran away from home a week ago is not a kink father.
whose 后面一定要加一个名词, 然后这个部分共同做主语或宾语
The boy whose sister is standing at the door is my brother.
The pilot whose plane landed in a field was not hurt.
He is the right person I am looking for.
