Language points
2. However, some scientists believe that although we can …
believe v. 相信;认为有可能
(1)believe在此作及物动词,一般不用于进行时态。 其后常跟名词,代词或从句作宾语。
Believe it or not, your brain never stops working.
I believe that an apple a day keeps the doctor away.
believe 表示相信某人的话,相信某事等。 We don’t believe in her, so we don’t believe what she says.
我们不信任她,所以我们不相信她说的话。
believe in 表示“信任;信仰”,多指品德、操守等方面可靠、可信。 易混辨析
3. … that robots will never be able to wake up and know where they are.
wake up 醒来;叫醒
(1)wake up在此处用作不及物动词短语。
They wake up every morning to work for their families and their future.
(2)wake up还可作及物动词短语,此时为“动词+副词” 型短语,后接名词作宾语时,名词放在up前或后均可;后接代词作宾语时,代词只能放在wake与up之间。
Don’t wake up your sister, Ben.=Don’t wake your sister up, Ben.
It’s 7 o’clock. It’s time to wake him up.
4. ①But many scientists disagree with Mr. White.
②However, they agree it may take hundreds of years.
disagree v. 不同意;有分歧 agree v. 同意;赞成;应允
disagree与agree互为反义词,其用法相似,以agree为例:
agree with sb./sth. 同意某人的看法或观点,后接人或表示“意见;看法”的名词
agree to sth. 同意(计划,建议,安排等)
agree to do sth. 同意做某事
agree on sth. 就……取得一致意见
agree + that从句 赞成……;同意……
As for me, I agree with the latter.
We agreed to their arrangements.
We agree to leave at once.
I’m afraid I can’t agree on your opinion.
Most people agree that the novel is a good one.
①But many scientists disagree with Mr. White.
②However, they agree it may take hundreds of years.
disagree v. 不同意;有分歧 agree v. 同意;赞成;应允
5. However, they agree it may take hundreds of years.
hundreds of 许多;大量
hundred 表示具体数量,意为 “百”。其前有a,several及具体数字时,hundred后不加-s,也不和of连用。 The reading room can hold two hundred people.
hundreds of 表示笼统的数量,意为“许多;大量”。不可与具体数字连用。 He has hundreds of books.
模糊数字“两有”(有-s有of), 具体数字“两无”(无-s无of)。 我都 学会了!
