Activity 4
Work in groups. Find out some language points that you think are important and share their use with your classmates and give some examples.
Language point
1.Today there are already robots working in factories.
【解读】“There be+ sb./sth.+doing sth.”表示“有某人或某物正在做某事”,该句型常用来强调动作,一般对进行时态进行强调。
【拓展】“There must be sb./sth.doing sth.+地点” 表示“某处一定有某人/某物在做某事”。There is no doing…意思是“(口语)不可能……”。
e.g.1)There are many children playing in the playground.
有很多孩子在操场上玩耍。
2) There must be a child crying in the room.
房间里肯定有个小孩在哭。
3)There is no knowing what he is doing.
无法知道他在做什么。
Language point
2.Fewer people will do such jobs in the future because they are boring, but robots will never get bored.
【解读】此句中的get bored 译为“ 感到厌烦，感到无聊”。其同义词为：be bored
二者的区别：get bored强调动作； be bored 强调状态
英语中有很多过去分词或形容词都可以和get, be 连用。比如：tired，angry 等。
e.g.1) You won’t be bored when you are hungry.
你饿的时候不会感到无聊。
2) If you do the same things month after month, you may get bored.
如果你一个月接一个月地做同样的事情，你可能会感到厌烦。
3.Scientists are now trying to make robots look like humans…
【解读】try to do sth.意为“尽力去做某事”，侧重尽力，为了达到目的而努力。也可以说成try one’s best to do sth. try doing sth.意为“尝试做某事”，只是一种尝试,并没有一定明显的目的性。
make sb.do sth.使某人做某事。使役动词make和see,hear,listen to,look at,watch,notice 等感官动词都接不带to的不定式作宾补。help后可带to,也可不带to。
e.g. 1) I am trying to learn English.
= I am trying my best to learn English.
我正努力学习英语。
2) The boss made his workers work over twelve hours a day.
老板逼迫工人每天工作超过12个小时。
4.However, they agree it may take hundreds of years.
【解读】hundreds of意为“数以百计的”，用于笼统的数量。当hundred为复数时，前面不可与具体数字连用，并在后面接“of＋可数名词复数”。hundred,表示具体的数量，意为“一百”，当hundred前有具体数字修饰时，只能用单数。类似的还有thousands of成千上万的, millions of几百万的等。
e.g.
1)There are nine hundred students in our school.
我们学校有900个学生。
2) There are hundreds of books in the library.
这个图书馆里有数百本书。
