五、Language Points
1.What a great day! 多棒的一天!
要点精析
What a great day! 是由 what引导的感叹句,what 在感叹句中意为“多么;真;
太”,作定语修饰名词。
例:What a new bike (it is)!多么新的一辆自行车啊!
What a new watch (it is)!多么新的一块手表啊!
2.But I guess it was a little too crowded. 但是我认为它有点儿太拥挤了
要点精析
a little 在此修饰形容词 crowded,意为”有点儿”
a little作此用法时,用在肯定句中,修饰形容词或副词,可与a bit 互换
例:The patient's condition is getting a little better. 病人的情况好转了些
【拓展】
little/a little 还可以修饰不可数名词little 表示否定意思意为“几乎没有”;a little表示肯定意思,意为“有一点儿”。
例 : There is little ink in my bottle; can you give me a little ink 我的瓶子里几乎没有墨水了,你能给我点儿墨水吗
few/afew可用来修饰可数名词。few 表示否定意义,意为“几乎没有”;a few表
示肯定意思,意为“有几个”。
例:He has few friends here; he feels lone.他在这里几乎没有朋友,他感到孤独
There are a few eggsin the basket.篮子里有几个鸡蛋
It's too hard to understand spoken English. 理解英语口语太难了
3.Bill thinks that the races were not that interesting to watch. 比尔认为那些比赛观看起来并不那么有趣。
要点精析 1
were not that interesting to watch 意为“观看起来并不那么有趣”,动词不定式
to watch 在句中作状语
例:I was right to speak to him about it.我和他谈及此事是正确的
要点精析 2
that副词,意为“那么,那样”,用在口语中表示程度,常用于否定句中
例:That problem is not that easy.那个问题没有那么简单
4. Bill wonders whether they'll have zongzi again next year. 比尔想知道明年他们是否将再吃粽子。
要点精析
wonder此处用作及物动词意为“想知道”,相当于want to know
wonder的常见用法如下:
(1)后接who,what,why 等连接词引导的宾语从句或“疑问词+动词不定式”结构时,意为“想知道”
例:I wonder who she is.我想知道她是谁
(2)后接或whether引导的宾语从句时,表示一种委婉的请求或疑问
I was wondering whether you'd like to come to my party.不知您能否来我的聚会
(3)wonder at/ about 表示“对......感到惊讶”。
She wondered at her own stupidity.她没想到自己竟会这样愚蠢
5. Bill and Mary believe that they'll be back next year to watch the races. 比尔和玛丽相信明年他们将会回来观看比赛
要点精析
believe 此处用作及物动词,意为“相信;认为真实”
其后既可以接名词、代词作宾语,也可以跟 that等引导的宾语从句,还可以用
believe sb.to be 的形式
例:I don't believe you!我不相信你(的话)!
I believe that they can win the match.我相信他们能赢得这场比赛
I believe him to bean honest man.我相信他是个诚实的人。
当 believe用于一般现在时,后跟宾语从句且主句主语为第一人称时,它的否定形式与think 用法相同,即“否定在主句,翻译在从句”
例:I don't believe he knows that place.我认为他不知道那个地方
6. I'm going to Chiang Maiin two weeks.两周后,我打算去清迈
要点精析
in two weeks意为“两周以后”
“in+一段时间”表示“在......以后”,常用于一般将来时的句子:对“in+一段时
间”提问用 how soon,how soon 意为“多久以后”
【辨析 in 与 after】
in 表示“在......以后”,是以现在的时间为in 起点,在一段时间以后,通常用于般将来时
after 表示“在......以后”,是以过去的时间为起点,在一段时间以后,常用于过去时态
六、Grammar Focus
宾语从句
1.宾语从句的种类
宾语从句是一种名词性从句,在句中作及物动词、介词,或形容词的宾语
根据引导宾语从句的连词不同,宾语从句可以分为三类
(1)由that引导的宾语从句。that 只有语法作用,没有实际意义,在口语和非正式文体中可以省略。
She doesn't know(that)she is seriously ill她不知道她病得很重
I am sure(that)he will succeed.我相信他会成功的。
例:Mr.Green makes a living by teaching.格林先生以教书为生。
(2)由连接代词 who, whom, whose, what, which 和连接副词 when,where
why,how引导的宾语从句。这些连接代词和连接副词在宾语从句中充当某种成分
Do you know who/whom they are waiting for 你知道他们正在等谁吗
I don't know what they are going to do.我不知道他们打算做什么。
(3)由if或whether引导的宾语从句。if和whether 在句中的意思是“是否”
He asked me whether/if I could help him.他问我是否可以帮助他。
2.宾语从句的语序
宾语从句的语序应为陈述语序
例:I don't know if the boy has a younger sister.我不知道那个男孩儿是否有个妹妹
Let's first decide where we should go.让我们先决定我们应该到什么地方去。
3.宾语从句的时态
( 1)如果主的时态用一般现在时,宾语从句该用什么时态就用什么时态
例:I don't think(that)you are right.我认为你是错的
(2)如果主句的时态是一般过去时,宾语从句要用相应的过去时态( 一般过去时、过去进行时、过去将来时或过去完成时 )
例 : He told me that he was preparing for the sport meeting
他告诉我他正在准备运动会。
He asked if you had written to Peter.他问你是给彼得写信了。
(3)如果宾语从句所陈述的是客观事实或真理,其时态用一般现在时
例 : Our teacher said that January is the first month of the year. 我们的老师说一月是一年中的第一个月。
Scientists proved that the earth turns around the sun. 科学家证实了地球绕着太阳转。
感叹句
感叹句是表示赞美、惊叹、喜悦等感情的句子。感叹句通常由 what 或 how引导。
常用结构:
1.引导的感叹句结构
(1)How+形容词/副词(+主语+谓语 )!
例:How tall the tree is!多么高的树呀
(2)How+形容词+a/an+可数名词单数(+主语+谓语)!
How beautifula birthday present!多美的生日礼物呀!
2.what 引导的感叹句结构
(1)What +a/an+形容词+可数名词单数(+主语+谓语)!
What a beautiful birthday present! 多美的生日礼物呀!
(2)What+形容词+可数名词复数(+主语+谓语)!
What interesting stories they are!多么有趣的故事呀!
(3)What+形容词+不可数名词(+主语+谓语)!
What fine weather!多好的天气呀!
【拓展】
what引导的感叹句通常可与how引导的感叹句进行转换
例 :What a lovely girl she is! =How lovely a girl she is !
她是一个多么可爱的女孩儿呀!
