1.One day,when he was cutting wood beside a lake,he lost his axe in the water.
本句为过去进行时态,句子结构为“was/were+doing”,表示“过去某一时刻正在发生的事情”。
2.The water was deep,and he could not get his axe back.
本句中的get…back意为“找回,取回,恢复”,也可用get back sth.结构。
3.He had only one axe,and he needed it to make his living.
make/earn one’s/a living意为“谋生”。4.As he cried,a spirit appeared.
while和as引导的时间状语从句的谓语是延续性动词;when引导的时间状语从句的谓语既可以是延续性动词,也可以是非延续性动词。
5.She asked the man what was wrong.
asked后是what引导的宾语从句,作其宾语。6.She listened to the woodcutter and felt sorry for him.
feel sorry for意为“对……感到抱歉、遗憾、后悔”,后加名词、代词、动名词作介词for的宾语。
7.Suddenly she came up with a great idea.
come up with意为“找到,想出”,没有被动语态。8.The spirit dove into the lake and brought back a gold axe.
◆dove是dive的过去式。dive into意为“投入,潜入”,dive意为“潜水,跳水”。
◆bring back意为“带回,还回,使记起”。
9.The man looked at the gold axe, knowing it wasn’t his.
本句中的knowing it wasn’t his是现在分词短语作状语,表示伴随状况。10.Because he was honest,he admitted to the spirit that it wasn’t his axe.
admit意为“准许进入,承认”,其过去式为admitted。admit to sb. that…意为“向某人承认……”。
11.The spirit went down a third time and returned with the woodcutter’s old axe.
a third time意为“又一次”,强调继前两次之后的“又一次”,不表示次序。
【注意】 (1)“不定冠词+序数词”表示相对前一个而言的“又一,再一”。
(2)“定冠词+序数词”表示按顺序排列的“第……”。12.The spirit was so happy with the woodcutter’s honesty that she gave him the other two axes as presents.
本句为“so…that”句型,意为“如此……以致……”,常引导结果状语从句。so后接形容词或副词,此句型可以转换成简单句,即可转换为“…enough to…”或“too…to…”句型。
13.Honesty truly is the best policy.
honesty是honest的名词形式,意为“诚实”;dishonest为honest的反义词,意为“不诚实的”。Work in groups to learn more about fables. You can do one of the following tasks:1. Find the rest of the fable on the Internet. Act it out.
