(The telephone is ringing.)
Hello, my name is Maria. I’m having some problems with my best friend, Lucy. She’s completely changed since her birthday. Her mum gave her a mobile phone. We used to have fun together, shopping and meeting friends. Now she spends all her time sending messages on her phone, and she doesn’t work hard. She hasn’t been out with us for weeks, and she is not interested in doing anything. And she’s had problems in school, because she checks for messages in class. What should I do?
(The telephone is ringing again.)
Hi, I’m Damon. I’m worried about my brother, Victor. He eats a lot of junk food. He’s already eaten three hamburgers and two packs of French fries today. And it’s only 11 o’clock in the morning, and he has drunken three cans of Cola. Last night, he told our mum he wasn’t hungry, but he went to the shop and bought chocolate. He always loses his temper easily. I tried to talk to him about it, but he got angry with me. In fact, he hasn’t spoken to me at all this week. My parents haven’t noticed yet. Should I say something to them?
句式精讲
1. “When in Rome, do as the Romans do. ”
“When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” 是省略句,意为“入乡随俗”。完整形式为:When(you are) in Rome, do as the Romans do.
when in Rome是when引导的时间状语从句,省略了you are,do as the Romans do是由实义动词do引导的祈使句。as the Romans do为as引导的方式状语从句,do是状语从句的谓语。as的意思是“像,按照”。
【拓展】
like也有“像”的意思,as和like有如下区别:
like 作介词时,其意是“像,如同”,其后需接名词、动名词或代词等。如果该名词或代词后还要用动词才能表达某一完整的意思,那就用as,此处的as作连词解。例如:
He saw a number of small hard things like stones.
他看见许多小而硬的、像石块似的东西。
You should behave like her. 你应该像她那样行事。
He wanted to be a pilot as his father had been.
他想像他爸爸一样,当一名飞行员。
2. No one will be cross.
cross可作形容词,意为“脾气坏的,易怒的”。例如:
Lucy stayed out late again,and her father was really cross.
露西又在外面玩得很晚才回来,她父亲非常生气。
【拓展】
(1) be/get cross with sb. 对某人生气 例如:
The boss will get cross with me if I don’t finish the job on time.
如果我不把活按时干完,老板会对我发火的。
(2) be cross at sth. 因某事而生气 例如:
She is always cross at the small things. 她总是因为一些小事而生气。
(3) cross还可作动词,意为“穿过,越过”。例如:
Be careful when you cross the road. 过马路时要小心。
3. The fork is held in your left hand….
be held构成了被动语态,意为“被握着”。be done是被动语态的构成形式,即be动词后接及物动词的过去分词。be有人称、时态和单复数形式的变化。各种时态的被动语态列表如下:
时态
被动语态的结构
一般现在时
am/is/are+过去分词
一般过去时
was/were+过去分词
一般将来时
will/shall+be+过去分词
现在进行时
am/is/are+being+过去分词
现在完成时
have/has+been+过去分词
过去进行时
was/were+being+过去分词
过去将来时
would/should+be+过去分词
过去完成时
had+been+过去分词
下列情况一般用被动语态表达:
(1)不知道谁是动作的执行者的时候用被动语态。例如:
My bike was stolen last night. 我的自行车昨天晚上被偷了。
(2) 强调和突出动作的承受者的时候用被动语态。例如:
The blackboard has been cleaned. 黑板已经被擦了。
(3)没有必要指出动作的执行者的时候用被动语态。例如:
The Great Wall was built thousands of years ago. 长城是数千年前建成的。
4. You may find it difficult to use chopsticks if you haven’t tried before.
“find it difficult to use chopsticks”是find it + adj. + (for sb) to do sth. 的结构,意为“发现做某事(对某人来说)是……”。其中it作形式宾语,真正的宾语是后面的动词不定式to do sth.,形容词作宾语补足语。这一结构可改成由that引导的宾语从句,在it和形容词之间加适当的be动词即可。例如:
I find it easy for me to finish the work in an hour.
= I find that it is easy for me to finish the work in an hour.
我发现对我来说在一小时内完成工作很容易。
5. ...such as chicken wings and hamburgers.
such as意为“例如”,用来罗列同类人或物中的几个例子,可置于被列举的事物与前面的名词之间,但 such as后边不能用逗号。 例如:
I have many hobbies such reading, dancing and singing.
我有很多爱好,如读书,跳舞和唱歌。
Many of the English programs are welcome, such as Follow Me, Follow Me to Science.
其中有许多英语节目很受欢迎,例如《跟我学》《跟我学科学》。
【拓展】
for example也意为“例如”,但是强调“举例”说明,而且一般只举同类人或物中的一个作为插入语,且用逗号隔开。for example可置于句首、句中或句末。例如:
There are many kinds of pollution, for example, noise is a kind of pollution.
有许多种污染方式,例如噪音就是一种污染。
Many students like playing computer games,for example,Mike.
许多学生喜欢玩电脑游戏,比如迈克。
