Language points
When he was a little boy, he seldom caused any
problems, and his family spent a lot of time together.

She seldom goes out by herself. 她很少独自外出。
He is seldom late for school. 他上学很少迟到。
注 意：
1）seldom 具有否定意义，用于句首表示强调时，主谓要
部分倒装。
Seldom do I go shopping by tax, unless it’s raining.
除非下雨，我很少打车去购物。
2）seldom 用于反意疑问句时，附加问句不用否定词not。
They seldom come late, do they 他们很少迟到，对吗

examinations. 他翘课，并且考试不及格。
(l) be absent from …意为“缺席……此处用作形容词，意为“缺席；不在”。

Finally, Li Wen’s parents made the decision to send him to a boarding school.

Finally they got to the village. 最后他们到达了那个村庄。
He worked out the math problem finally.
他终于解出了那道数学题。
辨析： finally, at last 与 in the end
finally: “最后”,只指一系列事物或论点的顺序,一般不带
感彩。
at last:有时可与finally互换，但往往用于一番拖延和曲折之
后，因而带有较浓厚的感彩，如“不耐烦、不
放心、不如愿”等。
in the end:“终于”可用于预测未来，finally和at last不能。
He tried many times, and finally succeeded.
他试验了很多次，最后成功。
At last I have obtained my wish. 我的愿望终于实现了。

2）send away “解雇；开除”

His mother was ill and he sent for the doctor.
She advised them to talk with their son in person.
班主任建议李文的父母亲自和她们的儿子谈谈。
(1)advise 用作及物动词，其宾语可以是名词、代词、动词-ing 形式，也可以是that从句。advise也可以接双宾语，其直接宾语可由名词、带疑问词的动词不定式或that/wh-从句充当。advise还可由动词不定式充当宾补的复合宾语。

He advised leaving early.
2) advise sb. to do sth. 意为“建议某人做某事”
The doctor advised me to take a complete rest.
医生建议我彻底休息一下。

He advised her against going out at night.
=He advised her not to no out at night. 他劝她晚上不要出去。
4) advise sb. of sth.意为“通知或告知某人有某情况”

货物到达时请通知我们。
(2) in person意为“亲身；亲自”

明天你应该亲自来这儿。
“…, they are always thinking of me. They take pride in everything good that I do.”
他们一直牵挂我，并为我所做的每一件好事感到自豪。
