fix 修补,修理。

辨析:repair, mend与fix
这三个动词都可以用来表示“修理”某一事物,使其能恢复到原来的形状或形态的意思。
1) repair的对象范围很广,从房屋、道路、机器到日常生活必需品,是使受到一定损失或失灵的东西恢复其形状或功能。
Who has repaired the broken leg of the table 谁把桌子的断腿修好了
Language points
2) fix用于需要重新“调整”物体的结构,把松散的部件固定结实,将分离的物体各部分装配起来。在美国口语中,它与repair无太大区别。
Can you fix the broken chair
你能修理那把坏了的椅子吗?
fix指“修理”时,是个非正式的用语,它的基本含义是将某物“固定”在某一地方。 fix可用来指“修补”或“整理”任何出了毛病的东西,使用范围较repair广。
I am going to fix my bicycle tomorrow.
我准备明天修理自行车。
Language points

thousands of 成千上万的
He donated thousands of pounds to charity.
他向慈善事业捐赠数千英镑。

1) 用单数的场合
当这些词与具体数字连用时, 习惯上用单数,而且其后也不接介词of 。
He was prepared to pay two million. 他愿意支付200万。
More than a hundred people were injured.有一百多人受了伤 。
但是,当这些词后面的名词有了the,these, those等特指限定词修饰时,或其后接的是us, them这样的人称代词时,此时必须用介词of。
About three hundred of them have left there.
他们当中约有300人离开了那儿。
Language points
拓展:hundred,thousand 及 million的具体用法
2) 用复数的场合
当这些词不与具体数字连用,而是表示不确定的泛指概数时,则不仅要用复数,而且要接介词of, 然后才能接名词。
The sun was shining. Thousands of people were lying on the beach.
阳光灿烂,数以千计的人躺在海滩上。
A careless mistake cost the company millions of pounds.
一个粗心的错误使公司蒙受数百万镑的损失。
Language points
分析:一些长的句子需要按照意思的群落(即“意群”)适当断开、稍加停顿(即“停顿”),断开的几部分都具有相对完整的意思。按照一般语法结构,可划分为以下意群单位:
(1)短句 (2) 名词短语 (3) 介词/不定式/分词短语 (4) 动词短语 (5) 主谓结构 (6)动宾结构 (7) 系表结构 (8) 动状结构 (9)主句-从句。
