Language points
1. What do you know about April Fools’ Day
fool为可数名词,意思是“愚人”,复数形式是fools。
※ The man is not a fool.
这个男人不是傻瓜。
【拓展】fool可以作动词,意思是“欺骗”,后面可以加名词或者代词作宾语。
※ That man was fooled.
那个男人被骗了。
2. He escaped!
escape意为“逃跑,逃走”,作不及物动词。当表示“从……地方/某人手中逃跑”,需要用介词from。常指摆脱某种束缚或自己认为有害的环境而获得自由。
※ The parrot has escaped from the cage.
那只鹦鹉已经从笼子里逃走了。
3. We heard about it on the radio!
hear about 听说
辨析:hear about/of 与hear from
① hear about / of 意为“听说,得知”,后面接表示人或事物的名词。
② hear from 意为“收到某人的来信”,后面接某人。
4. There’s a fierce bear coming. 有一只凶猛的熊要来了。
“There be +主语+动词-ing形式+其他.”意为“有……正在做某事”,动词-ing形式作定语,修饰主语。
※ There are many girls singing in the classroom.
许多女孩正在教室里唱歌。
【拓展】There be结构中be的单复数遵循就近原则。
※ There are two chairs, one desk and three pictures in the classroom.
※ There is one desk, two chairs and three pictures in the classroom.

※ We should protect the animals from being killed.

6. You’re joking, aren’t you 你们在开玩笑,不是吗?
这是个反意疑问句,它的基本结构是“陈述句+附加问句”,遵循的原则是“前肯后否,前否后肯”,也就是说前面的陈述句是肯定句,附加问句就用否定句;前面的陈述句是否定句,附加问句就用肯定句。
※ He has made money, hasn’t he
他挣过钱,是吗
※ He hasn’t made money, has he
他没挣过钱,是吗
【拓展】附加问句中的主语必须是代词,代替陈述句的主语,谓语动词在人称、数和时态上要和陈述句中的谓语动词保持一致。回答时,可用“Yes +肯定的简短答语”或者“No+否定的简短答语”。需要注意的是,翻译时中英两种语言的差异,当陈述句为否定句时,yes 翻译成“不”,而no则翻译成“是”。
※ —She doesn’t like swimming, does she
她不喜欢游泳,是吗
※ —Yes, she does.不,她喜欢。
/No, she doesn’t.是的,她不喜欢。
7. What will happen if he comes to our neighbourhood
if引导条件状语从句 当主句为一般将来时,if条件从句用一般现在时表示将来,即遵循“主将从现”原则。
※ We will help him if he comes to us for help.
如果他来向我们求助,我们就会帮他。

【拓展】
play a joke on意思是“和某人开玩笑”,相当于play jokes on sb.
