1. The teacher says it is useful, but I think it is difficult.(教材P53)老师说它非常有用,但我认为它很难。
[解读] useful为形容词,意为“有用的”在句中作定语或表语。由“名词use(使用)+后缀ful”构成。类似结构的词还有:care+ful→ careful小心的;help+ful→ helpful 有帮助的color+ful→ colorful 绚丽多彩的;hope+ful→ hopeful有希望的
注意useful虽以元音字母“u”开头,但其发音为辅音/ju?/,故其前用冠词a,而不用an。
I want to be a useful person.
我想成为一个有用的人。（作定语）
The English-Chinese dictionary is useful.
这本英汉词典很有用。（作表语）
