  本课简介

  How to Be a Successful Language Learner 是一篇典型的说明文。此类文章通常以逻辑顺序安排材料,作者要回答HOW或WHY方面的问题。在说明文的阅读与写作中,要注意抓主题句以及使文章内容启承转合的常用词句。

  本课中,作者从一句引言入手,先谈了人们对语言学习的看法,然后阐述了自己对学好语言的看法。文章条理十分清楚,对我们学写说明文很有帮助。

  本课语言点

  1. Learning a language is easy.

  这是一个 主语+动词+表语 (SVP)句型。句中learning a language为动名词短语,在句子中做主语。再如:

  Forgetting the past means betrayal.(忘记过去就意味着背叛。)

  请翻译下面的句子:

  1) 阅读英语比讲英语容易。 (Reading English is easier than speaking it.)

  2) 集邮是我弟弟的爱好。(Collecting stamps is my little brother''s hobby.)

  2. Even a child can do it.

  even在句中作副词用,加强语气,表示“甚至(…也),连(…都)”。如:He even didn''t trust his best friend.(他甚至不信任他最好的朋友。)

  请注意even与 even if / though的区别并翻译下面的句子:

  1) 这个我连听都没听过。(I haven''t even heard of it.)

  2) 即使花了数天时间复习,他也没能考好。(He didn''t do well in the exam even though he spent days reviewing.)

  3. Most adults who are learning a second language would disagree with this statement.

  句中who are learning a second language为定语从句,修饰先行词most adults,再如:

  The man who wrote this book is a teacher.(写这本书的人是一位教师。)

  请翻译下面的句子:

  1) 穿蓝色夹克的那个男孩是我们的班长。

  (The boy who is in a blue jacket is our monitor.)

  2) 你昨天借给我的那本书很有趣。

  (The book that you lent me yesterday is very interesting.)

  句中的would是助动词,表示“可能”,“(将)会”。例如:

  A picnic without you wouldn''t be fun.(野餐没你参加会很没意思。)

  助动词would的用法很多,概括起来主要有如下几种:

  1) 表示过去将来时:I felt confident that everything would be all right.

  2) 表示意愿:I asked him not to do it, but he wouldn''t listen to me.

  3) 表示习惯性:Every evening, we would go for a walk along the river.

  4) 表示虚拟,假设,条件:If you had come earlier, you would have seen him.

  5) 表示婉转地请求或建议:Would you look after my cat while I am away?

Unit1

  4. They need hundreds of hours of study and practice, and even this will not guarantee success for every adult language learner.

  注意句中hundreds of hours的用法,阅读课本第六页注解2.

  请翻译下面的词组:

  1) 十个学生 ten students

  数十个学生 tens of students

  2) 五百年 five hundred years

  数百年 hundreds of years

  3) 两千年 two thousand years

  数千年 thousands of years

  4) 三百万美元 three million dollars

  数百万美元 millions of dollars

  5. Language learning is different from other kinds of learning.

  句中be different from 意为“与…不同”,如:My opinion is different from yours.(我的观点与你的观点不同。)

  请注意下面三个句子中所用的词组:

  Man is different from all the other animals in his ability to learn and use a language.

  Man differs from all the other animals in his ability to learn and use a language.

  The greatest difference between man and all the other animals is his ability to learn and use a language.

  从上面的句子中可以看出differ是动词,different 是形容词,difference是名词。

  6. … find it difficult to succeed in language learning.

  … find it difficult to succeed in other fields.

  句中的it是形式宾语(formal object),真正的宾语(real object)是不定式to succeed in language learning,此类用法在英语中很常见,请注意掌握。如:At first I found it difficult to remember all these new words.(开始我感到记住这些单词很难。)

  请翻译下面的句子:

  1) 外面的噪音使我无法继续工作。

  (The noise outside made it difficult for me to go on with my work.)

  2) 他们觉得再争论下去是浪费时间。

  (They consider it a waste of time to argue any further.)

  3) 她认为把真相告诉小王是对的。

  (She thought it right to tell Xiao Wang the truth.)

  7. Language teachers often offer advice to language learners.

  本句中注意掌握动词offer的用法,请看下面的例句:

  1) He offered me a cup of tea after I sat down. (我坐下后他给我端来一杯茶。)

  2) What suggestions would you like to offer to those young teachers? (对这些新教师你有什么建议要提吗?)

  3) This shop offers all kinds of stationery.(这家商店供应各种文具。)

  4) The old man offered me 100 yuan for the used bike.

  (那个老人向我出价100元买这辆旧自行车。)

  5) She offered to help me with my English.(她表示愿意帮我学英语。)

  句中的advice为不可数名词,其后不加s,正如课本第六页注解3所说,有许多东西在汉语中是可数的,在英语中却是不可数的。如news, information, paper 等,若要表示“一个”这类概念,就必须加a piece of这类定语,例如:

  a piece of news

  a piece of advice

  a sum of money

  a piece of bread

  8. Read as much as you can.

  句中的much 是副词,用副词作同等比较时,可以用as … as和so … as 这种结构,如:

  1) Read as much as you can and your vocabulary will be enlarged.(尽量多阅读,你的词汇量就会扩大。)

  2) We must arrange everything as well as we can.(我们要把一切尽可能地安排好。)

  3) Please give me a call as soon as possible.(请尽早给我打电话。)

  4) I don''t speak English so well as you.(我英语讲得没你好。)

  9. Practice speaking the language every day.

  practice 在美国英语中可以做动词也可以做名词,而在英国英语中,practice是名词,动词的拼写则是practise.

  作动词用时,其后只能跟动名词,不能跟不定式。如:It is really no fun to practice running in such hot weather.(在这样炎热的天气里练跑步可真不是好玩的。)

  10. Language learning research shows that successful language learners are similar in many ways.

  that successful language learners are similar in many ways 是宾语从句。在非正式场合下that引导宾语从句时可省略。如:I think (that) you are right.

  请翻译下面的句子:

  1) 小男孩承认是他打碎了窗玻璃。

  (The little boy admitted that he broke the window.)

  2) 大量证据表明他是有罪的。(Plenty of evidence shows that he is guilty.)

  3) 我保证将会给他更多的帮助。(I promised that I would give him more help.)

  11. … they discover their own way to learn the language. to learn the language

  不定式做定语,例如:Is it the best way to solve the problem?(这是解决问题的最好方法吗?)

  请翻译下面的句子:

  1) 他没有勇气承认自己是无知的。(He has no courage to say that he is ignorant.)

  2) 这将是一个交流思想的好机会。(This will be a good opportunity to exchange ideas.)

  3) 他们在会上没有发言权。(They had no right to speak at the meeting.)

  12. Instead of waiting for the teacher to explain, they try to find the patterns and rules for themselves.

  动词不定式to explain和名词 teacher构成复合结构,作wait for的宾语,称为复合宾语。此类用法在英语中很常见,例如:

  1) I''ll get someone to repair the bike for you.(我去找人来帮你修自行车。)

  2) He wants you to call him in the afternoon.(他要你下午给他打电话。)

  3) The teacher is waiting for the students to answer the questions.(老师在等学生们回答问题。)

  4) You can count on him to give you full support.(你放心,他会给你全力支持。)

  请注意 instead of 与 instead 的区别:

  1) Instead of staying at home watching TV, he went out for a walk.

  He didn''t stay at home watching TV, instead he went out for a walk.

  2) Instead of having milk for breakfast, he had a cup of coffee.

  He didn''t have milk for breakfast, instead he had a cup of coffee.

  13. When they guess wrong, they guess again.

  wrong常常作形容词或动词用,而本句中的wrong则作副词用。请注意下面句子中wrong的词类:

  1) He was annoyed that he had been given some wrong information.(wrong adj.错误的)

  2) I knew I had wronged her terribly when I gave her all the complaints.(wrong v. 冤枉)

  3) The whole class burst into laughter when the teacher pronounced her name wrong.(wrong adv.错,不对)

  14. … they look for such a chance.

  句中的such是前置限定词,可放在可数或不可数名词前,如:

  1) I''ve never seen such beautiful scenery.(我从没见过这样美丽的景色。)

  2) He didn''t expect that the audience would give him such a response.(他没料想到观众们会给予如此反应。)

  3) She didn''t feel like going out on such a cold day.(她不想在如此寒冷的日子里出门。)

  从下面的句子中可以看出so与such的区别,so是副词,通常用来修饰形容词或副词:

  1) The question was so difficult that nobody could answer it.

  (这个问题太难了,没人能回答。)

  2) His eyesight was so poor that he couldn''t see anything clearly.

  (他的视力不好,什么也看不清。)

  3) He ran so fast that nobody could catch up with him.

  (他跑得那么快,没有人能赶上他。)

  15. It is more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word.

  不定式短语to learn to think in the language是句子的真正主语。it常常被用来代替不定式,在句子中充当形式主语,而把真正的主语移到句子后面去,这样使句子显得比较平稳。为了说明不定式表示的动作是谁做的,便在不定式前加for引起的短语。又如:

  1) It is not at all difficult for him to understand the poem.

  2) It is necessary for us to lend him a helping hand at this time.

  more important than是形容词比较级形式,请翻译下面的句子:

  1) 汤姆的年龄比玛丽大。(Tom is older than Mary.)

  2) 这本书比那本书更有趣。(This book is more interesting than that one.)

  3) 我们班的学生人数比他们班的多。(There are more students in our class than in theirs.)

  16. … you have probably been learning independently, actively, and purposefully.

  句中所用的时态为现在完成进行时,表示一个动作从过去的某一时间开始,一直延续到现在,可能还要继续下去。又如:

  1) He has been working for a whole day.

  2) They have been watching TV for two hours.

  请翻译下面的句子:

  1) 老李已经在南京生活了二十年。(Lao Li has been living in Nanjing for 20 years.)

  2) 雨下多久了?(How long has it been raining?)

  3) 我等了他一个多小时了。(I have been waiting for him for more than an hour.)

  17. … if your language learning has been less than successful, you might do well to try some of the techniques outlined above.

  less than用在形容词的前面是为了给所要表述的内容增加否定意味。又如:It would be less than fair to put all the blame on him.(把所有的责任都加在他身上是不太公平的。)

  请翻译下面的句子:

  1) 父亲对他的成绩不太满意。(Father was less than satisfied with his performance.)

  2) 这个计划远不够完美。(The plan was a good deal less than perfect.)

  do well to do sth. 的意思是“最好…做”,如:She would do well to go away from these

  dishonest people.(她最好远离这些不诚实的人。)

  本课简介

  Taxes, Taxes, and More Taxes 介绍了美国三级政府(联邦政府,州政府,市政府)征收的三种税(income tax,sales tax,property tax and excise tax)。美国人对税收的一致看法是:The taxes are too high. 这篇文章对我们了解美国社会很有帮助,值得一读。

  本课主要语言点

  1. Americans often say that there are two things a person can be sure of in life: death and taxes.

  句中的that引导的是一个宾语从句,例如:Everybody knows that the earth goes around the sun.(众所周知,地球围绕太阳转。)

  请翻译下面的句子:

  1) 他知道我不会责怪他。(He knew that I wouldn't blame him.)

  2) 妈妈说他必须在六点以前回来。(Mother said that he had to be back before 6:00.)

  3) 我想天气很快会放晴。(I think that it is going to clear up soon.)

  4) 我相信他对我说了实话。(I believe that he told me the truth.)

  句中的a person can be sure of …是定语从句,修饰two things, 引导定语从句的关系代词that被省去了。例如:Have you found the book you want?(你找到你要的书了吗?)

  请翻译下面的句子:

  1) 他找到了他丢失的那块表。(He found the watch he had lost.)

  2) 这儿有很多我感兴趣的书。(There are many books I am interested in.)

Unit2(第4讲—第6讲)

  be sure of的意思是“对……确信无疑”,例如:

  ─ Is he going to call us at 9:00? (他会在九点给我们打电话吗?)

  ─ Yes, I am sure of it. (是的,我肯定。)

  翻译下面的句子,掌握sure的用法:

  1) I am sure of his sincerity. (我确信他的诚意。)

  2) You are sure of a warm welcome.(你肯定会受到热烈的欢迎。)

  3) I don't know for sure whether he will come or not.(我不很确切地知道他是否会来。)

  4) Make sure that you turn off the light when you leave.(确保在你离开时把灯关掉。)

  5) Be sure not to forget what your parents said to you.(千万别忘了父母对你说的话。)

  2. Americans don't have a corner on the “death” market, but many people feel that the United States leads the world with the worst taxes.

  have a corner的意思是“垄断”,例如:have a corner on the cotton market (垄断棉花市场);have a corner on the black vote(垄断黑人选票)。有时也会见到以in 代替on的用法:have a corner in banking

  lead在句中的意思是“走在…前列”,“在……领先”,“胜过”。

  请翻译下面的句子:

  1) He leads his class in English.(他在班上英语学的最好。)

  2) He led the broad jump with a leap of 26 feet.(他以26 英尺的成绩在跳远中领先。)

  3) Pollution still leads the list of major problems in that country.(污染仍然是那个国家的头号严重问题。)

  3. Taxes consist of money which people pay to support their government.

  句中which 引导的定语从句修饰the money.

  请翻译下面的句子:

  1) This is the book that I just borrowed from the library.(这是我刚刚从图书馆借的书。)

  2) He put the money that his mother gave him in a safe place.(他把妈妈给他的钱放在一个安全的地方。)

  3) I don't remember where I put the CD that I bought yesterday. (我记不得把昨天买的CD放在哪儿了。)

  consist of的意思是“由……构成”,它与 make up of , compose of 的区别在于:consist of不可用被动语态,而make up of和 compose of 可以用被动语态。例如:

  1) The house consists of 6 rooms.

  2) The medical team is made up of three doctors and a nurse.

  3) The book is composed of 25 units.

  4. Salaried people who earn more than a few thousand dollars must pay a certain percentage of their salaries to the federal government.

  句中who引导的定语从句修饰 people.

  请翻译下面的句子:

  1) The girl who helped me with my English is our monitor.(帮助我学外语的那个女孩是我们班长。)

  2) The man who knocked at the door just now is my next-door neighbor.(刚才敲门的那个人是我的隔壁邻居。)

  3) The boy who was shot to death by his classmate was only 8.(被同学开枪打死的那个男孩才八岁。)

  在单词部分我们已经对percentage和percent的区别有所了解,现在我们再来翻译几个句子:

  1) 税率从百分之十四到百分之七十不等。(The percentage of the tax varies from 14% to 70%.)

  2) 学生的及格率达到了百分之九十五。(The percentage of students who passed the exam reached 95%.)

  3) 工业产量上涨了百分之十四。(The industrial output increased by 14%.)

  5. It depends on their salaries.

  depend on在句中的意思是“视……而定”。除此以外,还可表示“依靠”:“信赖”等。

  请翻译下面的句子:

  1) 成功与否得看你的能力和努力。(Success depends on your ability and efforts.)

  2) Whether we can go outing depends on tomorrow's weather. (我们能否去郊游取决于明天的天气。)

  3) The old man depends on the government pension for a living.(那位老人靠政府的养老金生活。)

  4) 他总是依赖姐姐给他做作业。(He always depends on his sister to do his homework.)

  5) He is not to be depended on.(他不可信赖。)

  6. With the high cost of taxes, people are not very happy on April 15, when the federal taxes are due.

  介词with在句中的意思是“由于,因为”。例如:With their support, we fulfilled our task ahead of time.(由于他们的帮助,我们提前完成了任务。)

  如果仅仅有月份,没有具体的日期,月份前用介词in ,如果有具体的日期则用介词on ,例如:1) He was born in May. 2) He was born on May 23.

  句中due的意思是“到期”,例如:The books are due, I have to return them to the library. (书到期了,我得去图书馆还书。)

  请翻译下面的句子,注意due在不同语境下的其他意思:

  1) The train is due to arrive at 8:00.(火车定于八点钟到达。)

  2) The baby is due in the middle of October.(婴儿的预产期为十月中旬。)

  3) Due attention should be paid to this work.(应该给这项工作以适当的关注。)

  4) Old people expect to be treated with the respect due to their age.(老人们期望受到他们这个年龄的人应得的尊敬。)

  5) His death was due to heart attack.(他的死是由心脏病引起的。)

  7. Some states have an income tax similar to that of the federal government.

  句中的that用来代替the加前述名词tax,以免重复。

  请翻译下面的句子:

  1) 南京的天气比青岛的天气热。(The weather of Nanjing is hotter than that of Qingdao.)

  2) 黄金的价格比白银的价格要高。(The price of gold is higher than that of silver.)

  8. Other states have a sales tax, which is a percentage charged to any item which you buy in that state.

  句中前一个which 引导的是一个非限定性定语从句,修饰sales tax.非限定性定语从句通常在句中起进一步说明作用,既可修饰先行词也可修饰整个句子。如果省去,原句意义不受影响。非限定性定语从句有逗号与主句隔开;关系代词不可用that,而用who, whom, whose来修饰人,用which来修饰物,并且不能省略。

  请翻译下面的句子:

  1) The sun warms the earth, which makes it possible for plants and animals to live.(太阳温暖了大地,这才使动植物有可能生长。)

  2) He failed the exam, which made him very disappointed.(他考试没及格,这使他非常失望。)

  3) He has a son, who is doing his PH.D in the United States.(他有一个儿子,在美国读博士学位。)

  句中后一个which引导的是一个限定性定语从句,修饰any item.但是传统语法中通常有这样的规定:当先行词是all,everything,something,nothing等不定代词,或被first,only,few,much,some,any,no以及形容词最高级等词修饰时,应该用关系代词that,不用which.例如:I am interested in all that you told me.

  9. The cities use these funds for education, police and fire department, public works and municipal buildings.

  work 用作单数时,通常指工作,例如:I have a lot of work to do this afternoon.

  用作复数时,works则指 1)著作:The Complete Works of Mao Zetong(《毛泽东全集》) 2)工程:public works(公共建筑工程,市政工程)

  10. They say that it spends too much on useless and impractical programs.

  spend too much (money) on sth的意思是“把太多的钱花在……”,例如:He would spend some money on books every month……(他每个月都花一些钱买书。)

  我们常常会碰到的另一个词组spend some time (in) doing sth.的意思是“花时间做某事”,例如:He spent a lot of time doing the experiment.(他花了很多时间做实验。)

  在英语学习中,我们还要注意pay,cost和spend在用法上的区别。请注意下面的句子:

  1) Tom paid 20 dollars for that T-shirt.

  2) The T-shirt cost Tom 20 dollars.

  3) Tom spent 20 dollars on that T-shirt.

  请翻译下面的句子:

  1) 我借给他的那本新字典花了我三十多块钱。(The dictionary I lent him cost me more than 30 yuan.)

  2) 把这辆自行车修一修要花很多钱吗?(Does it cost much to get this bike repaired?)

  3) 在过去的几年中,这家工厂花了很多钱改善工作条件。(In the past few years, the factory has spent a lot of money improving the working conditions.)

 本课主要构词法

  Affixation  (词缀法)

  1. 反意词前缀un-     unusual,unwilling

  2. 形容词后缀-y       salty

  3. 名词后缀-or        sailor

  Compounding   (合词法)

  1. 复合名词         highway,steamship,airplane

  2. 复合形容词       mid-Atlantic,eastward

  本课简介

  The Atlantic Ocean向读者介绍了有关大西洋的情况。我们可以了解航行大西洋的过去和现在,也可以了解大西洋“制造”出来的世界之最。

  本课主要语言点

  1. The Atlantic Ocean is one of the oceans that separate the Old World from the New.

  在表示河流,海洋,群岛,沙漠等地理名称的名词前,以及以复数形式出现的国名前要用定冠词,例如:the Yellow River(黄河),the Pacific Ocean(太平洋),the British Isles   (不列颠群岛),the Sahara(撒哈拉沙漠),the Alps(阿尔卑斯山脉),  the Philippines (菲列宾)

  在表示某一座山,岛屿或某一个湖时不用定冠词,例如:Yellow Mountain(黄山),Lake Erie(伊利湖),Hainan Island(海南岛)

  one of +复数名词是英语中常见的用法,请翻译下面的句子:

  She is one of the most hardworking students in our class. (她是我们班学习最刻苦的学生之一。)

  Shanghai is one of the biggest cities in the world.(上海是世界最大的城市之一。)

  印度是世界上人口最多的国家之一。 (India is one of the countries with the largest population in the world.)

  尼罗河是世界上最长的河流之一。(Nile is one of the longest rivers in the world.)

  在one of +复数名词+定语从句的结构中,定语从句一般被看作修饰复数名词,因此该从句中的谓语要用复数形式。例如:

  This is one of the best novels that have been published this year. (这是今年出版的最佳小说之一。)

  Mr. Smith is one of those men who always think they are right.(史密斯先生属于那些总是认为自己正确的人。)

  He is not one of those who bow before difficulties.(他不是那种在困难面前低头的人。)

  但是在the only one of +复数名词+定语从句的结构中,定语从句应该被看成修饰单数名词。例如:

  He was the only one of the boys who was praised by the teacher. (他是男孩中唯一受到老师表扬的。)

  Helen is the only one of those girls who doesn't wear make-up. (海伦是那些女孩中唯一不化妆的。)

  separate from是常用词组,在句子中的意思是“(使)分离,(使)分开”,请翻译下面的句子:

  1)英吉利海峡把英法两国隔开。(The English Channel separates England from France.)

  2)理论不应该脱离实际。(Theory should not be separated from practice.)

  the Old world指欧,亚,非三洲,有时仅指欧洲。the New (World) 指哥伦布发现的美洲大陆。

  2. For centuries it kept the Americas from being discovered by the people of Europe.

  for centuries 意为“许多世纪”。在英语中用介词for加表示时间的复数名词的表达形式很常见。请翻译下面的句子:

  1)I haven't seen you for days. How is everything?(多日不见,一切都好吗?)

  2)I haven't seen him for years, I am sure he has changed a lot. (我多年没见到他了,他一定变了不少。)

  3)It seems I have been waiting for you for centuries. Where have you been?(我似乎等了你几个世纪了,你去哪儿了?)

  keep… from doing 是习惯用法,意思是“使…不…”。

  例如:It is really not easy to keep Father from smoking.(要使父亲不抽烟真不容易。)

  请翻译下面的句子:

  1)Heavy fog kept the ships from being discovered by the enemy. (大雾使得船只未被敌人发现。)

  2)We had no way to keep him from getting involved in the matter. (我们没有办法使他不卷入那事件中去。)

  3)那种药使他的咳嗽不再加剧。 (The medicine keeps his cough from getting more serious.)

  4)当地人的保守思想使得那个地方不能快速发展。

  (The local people's conservative mind keeps that place from developing rapidly.)

  3. Many wrong ideas about the Atlantic made early sailors unwilling to sail far out into it.

  make sb. unwilling to do sth. 意为“使得某人不愿做某事”。例如:His indifference to work made everybody unwilling to cooperate with him.(他对工作的冷漠态度使得所有的人都不愿与他合作。)

  主语+动词+宾语+补语(SVOC)的句型在课本第二单元的语法中已有较详细的论述。请翻译下面的句子:

  1)His behavior at the dinner party made the host annoyed. (他在晚宴上的行为使主人很恼火。)

  2)That film made him famous.(那部影片使他出了名。)

  3)他刚才的一番话使玛丽很伤心。(What he said just now made Mary very sad.)

  4)老师对他作文的评价令他失望。 (The teacher's comment on his composition made him disappointed.)

  5)What he had done made his friends hesitant to accept the invitation.(他的所为使得他的朋友们对接受邀请犹豫不决。)

  6)他的挥霍浪费使得他的父母不愿意再给他钱。(His unthriftiness made his parents unwilling to give him any more money.)

Unit3(第7讲—第10讲)

  4. One idea was that it reached out to “the edge of the world”。

  Another idea was that at the equator the ocean would be boiling hot.

  这两个都是表语从句和主句中的系动词连用的句子。结构为:主语+系动词+表语从句。请看下面的例句:My idea is that we contact him as soon as possible.(我的想法是我们应该尽快跟他联系。)

  请翻译下面的句子:

  1) My suggestion is that we should put off the meeting.(我的建议是我们应该把会议延期。)

  2) One advantage of solar energy is that it will never be used up. (太阳能的一个优点是用之不竭。)

  3) 问题是你不在时谁照管孩子。 (The problem is who will take care of the children while you are away.)

  4) 看起来天要下雨。(It looks that it is going to rain.)

  请注意辨析another 和other:

  another由 an+other构成,只和单数可数名词连用。other可用于所有名词前。another+单数名词表示不定的“另一个”,the other+单数可数名词表示特指的“另一个”。

  请看下面的例句:

  1) This idea is not very practical, will you think of another one? (这个主意不太实际,你能另想一个吗?)

  2) This book is too difficult. Show me another one.(这本书太难了,给我看另外一本。)

  3) Of the three books in my bag, two are published in China, the other is published in the United States.(我包里的三本书中,两本是中国出版的,另一本是美国出版的。)

  4) Tom is here, but where are the other boys?(汤姆在这儿,其他的男孩在哪儿呢?)

  5) I like this coat better than the other one.(两件上衣中,我更喜欢这一件。)

  6) This camera is more expensive than the other one.(这架照相机比另一架贵。)

  boiling hot意思是“滚热的,酷热的”。此处的boiling不是形容词而是副词,表示热的程度,修饰hot.

  5. Sailors were afraid that they might sail right off the earth.

  此句中,that引导的名词性从句作形容词的补足语。例如:

  1) I am afraid that I can not finish the article in two hours. (我担心我两小时内写不完这篇文章。)

  2) He was afraid that he couldn't give you a definite answer. (他担心他不能给你一个明确的答复。)

  3) I am afraid that I have made a mistake.(我担心自己犯了一个错误。)

  4) We are confident that we can overcome all the difficulties. (我们相信自己能克服所有的困难。)

  对“be + 形容词 + that引起的从句”这类结构,语法家们有的认为that从句做宾语用,有的认为that从句做状语用。根据句子的逻辑意义来判断也许比较方便一些。如:I'm sorry that you failed the exam again. 这个句子中的that从句起状语作用,相当于“…because you failed the exam again.”

  6. The Atlantic Ocean is only half as big as the Pacific,…

  在第一单元中我们讨论过副词的同等比较。本句中as big as 则是形容词的同等比较。在这类句子中,可以有表示程度的状语。例如:

  1) This book is not half as interesting as that one.(这本书还不如那本书一半有趣。)

  2) My monthly income is only half as much as his.(我的月收入只有他的一半多。)

  3) This year our university will enroll three times as many students as it did the year before last.(我们学校今年的招生人数将是前年的三倍。)

  请翻译下面的句子:

  1) 我的英语口语还不及你的一半流利。(My spoken English is not half as fluent as yours.)

  2) 这只手提箱还没有那只手提箱一半重。(This suitcase is not half as heavy as that one.)

  3) 这个房间是那个房间的两倍。(This room is twice as large as that one.)

  7. But suppose no more rain fell into it and no more water was brought to it by rivers.

  suppose 常常做动词用,意思是“假定;猜想;认为”。例如:

  1) Let's suppose it to be true.(让我们假定这是真的。)

  2) I suppose he is very nervous.(我猜想他很紧张。)

  3) I supposed him to be an honest man, but he often tells lies. (我以为他很诚实,他却经常说谎。)

  在本句中suppose(也可以用supposing)是一个连词,意思是“假设(= if);假使…结果会怎么样”。例如:

  1) Suppose he is ill, what shall we do?(假如他病了,我们怎么办?)

  2) Suppose a tiger should come out of the cage? (如果一只老虎从笼子中跑出来怎么办?)

  3) Suppose something should go wrong?(如果出了什么问题会怎么样?)

  8. It would take the ocean about 4000 years to dry up.

  it takes (sb.) some time to do sth. 是很常用的一个句型。例如:

  1) 我骑自行车到学校要花半小时。(It takes me half an hour to get to school by bike.)

  2) 他花了两个星期时间才看完那本书。(It took him two weeks to finish reading that book.)

  请翻译下面的句子:

  1) It took the boy three hours to finish his homework.(那个男孩花了3小时才写完作业。)

  2) It takes less than 4 hours to get to Shanghai by train from Nanjing.(从南京乘火车到上海只要不到4小时。)

  3) 他花了4天时间才走出密林。(It took him 4 days to go out of the forest.)

  4) 照顾一个生病的老人要花许多时间。(It will take a great deal of time to look after a sick old man.

  9. On the average the water is a little more than two miles deep, but in places it is much deeper.

  on the average在句子中的意思是“平均而言”。例如:

  1) On the average, they drove 70 miles an hour.(他们平均每小时行驶70英里。)

  2) On the average, they spend 20 yuan on food every day.(他们平均每天花20块钱吃饭。)

  a little 在句子中修饰more,表示程度,意思是“一点儿,稍许”。much在句子中修饰deeper,也表示程度,加强形容词比较级,意思是“…多”。例如:

  1) I feel a little cold.(我觉得有点冷。)

  2) He spent a little more than 20 yuan yesterday.(昨天他花了20块多一点儿。)

  3) I feel much better now.(我现在感觉好多了。)

  4) She is much more careful this time.(她这一次细心多了。)

  请翻译下面的句子:

  1) 干了一天的工作,我觉得有点累。(I feel a little tired after a day's work.)

  2) 她对她的同学有点不友好。(She is a little unfriendly to her classmates.)

  3) 听了那个消息他开心多了。(He was much happier after hearing that news.)

  10. This “deep” measures 30,246 feet——almost 6 miles (9.6km)。

  本句中的deep做名词用,意思是“深处”,“海渊”(水深超过3000英里)。

  measure 在句子中做动词用,意思是“测量”,“有…深”。例如:

  1) This room measures 10 metres across.(这个房间宽10米。)

  2) The bridge measures 17 kilometres long.(这座桥长17公里。)

  3) The water tank only measures 2 metres deep.(这只水箱只有2米深。)

  11. One of the longest mountain ranges of the world rises from the floor of the Atlantic.

  本句中的 longest与课文前几段中出现的narrowest,saltiest,deepest一样,都是形容词的最高级形式。因为这几个词是单音节词或是以元音结尾的双音节词,所以,最高级的构成是在词尾加-est.对于大部分两个音节以上的形容词,最高级的构成是在形容词前面加most.请看例句:

  1) He wants to make everybody believe that he is the happiest person in the world.(他想使每一个人相信他是世界上最幸福的人。)

  2) This is the strongest horse I have ever seen.(这是我所见过的最强壮的马。)

  3) The boss wanted to find the most careful employees.(老板想找最细心的雇工。)

  4) 黄山是我所知道的最美的山之一。(Yellow Mountain is one of the most beautiful mountains I have ever known.)

  5) 这条高速公路是中国最长的。(This express way is one of the longest in China. )

  6) 这本书是三本书中最有意思的。(This book is the most interesting of the three.)

  rise 是一个不及物动词,在句子中的意思是“升起;隆起”。例如:

  1) The sun rises in the east.(太阳在东方升起。)

  2) Give the child some medicine, his temperature is rising.  (给孩子服药,他的体温在升高。)

  3) The mountain peak rises above the clouds.(山峰高耸入云。)

  请注意区别以下动词:

  4) arouse 及物动词 (唤醒;激起,引起)

  3) He was given the floor at the meeting.(他在会上得到了发言权。)

  1) He was the first to climb to the top of the hill.(他第一个爬上山顶。)

  2) When we stand on the top of the mountain, the whole city is in sight.(我们站在山顶时,整个城市尽收眼底)

  13. Several hundred miles eastward from Florida there is a part of the ocean called the Sargasso Sea.

  called the Sargasso Sea 是修饰ocean的定语从句,在其前省去了which is.

  2) In the days of Queen Victoria, the British colony expanded rapidly.(在维多利亚女王时代,英国殖民地迅速扩张。)

  3) He has experienced a lot of hardships in his days.(他一生中吃了许多苦。)

  crew是一个集合名词,指“全体船员”,后面的谓语动词可以用单数也可以用复数,此句中谓语动词用的是复数were,因为从句子中可以推断出是许多vessels(船)上的船员。Sometimes they were.句子中省略becalmed.

  15. The Atlantic furnishes much food for the people on its shores.

Unit4(第11讲—第13讲)

  3. Meaningfulness affects memory at all levels.

  6) 他的话对听众没有任何影响作用。(What he said had little effect on the audience.)

  4. Information that doesn't make any sense to you is difficult to remember.

  that引导的定语从句修饰information; 主句是Information is difficult to remember.

  不定式to remember 用在做表语用的形容词后面作状语。请看下面的句子:

  1) Einstein was easy to get along with.(爱因斯坦很容易相处。)

  2) To many foreigners, Chinese is hard to learn.(对许多外国人来说汉语很难学。)

  3) The water in this river is not fit to drink.(这条河里的水不适合饮用。)

  7. Chunking consists of grouping separate bits of information.

  在第一单元的Text B中我们已经对consist of有所了解。这一词组的意思是“由…组成”,它与be made up of;be composed of 的意思相近,但consist of 不用被动语态。请看例句:

  3) I am not sure whether he can make it this time. I just feel he has a striking lack of confidence.(我不能确定他这次能否成功,其只是觉得他明显信心不足。)

  to be remembered不定式的被动形式做定语,修饰the items.请看例句:

  3) This was the first project to be designed John's brother. (这是约翰的哥哥设计的第一个工程。)

  12. In one study, subjects in one group were asked to learn some words using imagery, while the second group used repetition to learn the words.

  subject在本句中做名词用,意思是“受试者,实验对象”。Subject这个词的词义很多,请看例句,注意subject的词义:

  subject还常常做动词或形容词用,请看例句:

  1) The country was once subjected to foreign rule.(这个国家曾一度受外国统治。)

  2) Taipei was subjected to serious earthquakes last year.(台北去年遭受了严重的地震灾害。)

  3) We are all subject to the laws of nature.(我们都要受自然规律的支配。)

  4) The child is very subject to coughs.(这孩子动不动就咳嗽。)

  5) All men are subject to death.(人总有一死。)

  while 在句子中做连词用,意思是“而,然而”。while也是一个多义词,请注意下面例句中while 的意思:

  1) Strike while the iron is hot.(趁热打铁。)

  2) He listened to the radio while he was doing his homework.(他一边听收音机,一边做作业。)

  3) He is talkative while his twin brother is of few words.(他很健谈,而他的孪生兄弟则少言寡语。)

  using imagery分词做状语,表示方式,请看例句:

  1) They stood there waiting for the bus.

  2) She had to work standing up.

  13. Thus forming an integrated image with all the information placed in a single mental picture can help us to preserve a memory.

  划线部分是该句的主要成分,forming an integrated image动名词短语做主语,can help做谓语,us to preserve a memory做复合宾语。

  斜体部分是一个“with + 名词 + 过去分词”的独立结构,做方式状语,修饰动名词短语forming an integrated image.

  不定式与名词或代词构成复合结构,做动词宾语的现象在英语中很常见,在前几讲中我们也遇到过。再请看几个例句:

  1) Would you like Tom to go with you?(你愿意汤姆和你一起去吗?)

  2) He wants you to see him in the afternoon.(他想让你下午去见他。)

  3) Father encouraged him to study harder.(父亲鼓励他更加努力学习。)

  2) Standing there is a torture to her, with so many eyes fixed on her.(这么多人注视着她,于她而言,站在那儿是一种折磨。)
