重点·难点·考点及疑点注释 1They are going to give a concert in Kunming tonight. give a concert意为“开演唱会”,动词give在这里的意思是“开,举行”。give后面接不同的宾语可以构成不同的动词短语,理解时应注意give的意思。例如: The famous singer hopes to give a concert in his hometown. 这位著名的歌手希望能在他的家乡开演唱会。 The scientist gave us a talk yesterday morning. 昨天上午那位科学家给我们作了一个报告。 2Erik, one of the singers in the band, is talking to Li Weiyin, a journalist from CCTV. 句中one of the singers in the band是Erik的同位语,说明其身份,同样,a journalist from the CCTV也是Li Weiyin的同位语。例如: Mr Green, Jim's father, is an English teacher. 格林先生,吉姆的爸爸,是一位英语老师。 I went to see the film with Ann, my best friend. 我和安,我最好的朋友,一起去看电影。 3There were four last year, but now there are only three. (1)这是一个省略句,完整的句子应为There were four singers in the band last year, but now there are only three. (2)这是一个转折关系的复句,连接词为but。第一个分句的时态是一般过去时,第二个分句的时态是一般现在时。例如: He couldn't speak English two years ago, but now he speaks it very well. 两年前他不会说英语,但是现在他说得非常好。 His uncle was in Shanghai yesterday, but now he is in Beijing. 他的叔叔昨天在上海,但是现在在北京。 ◆注意◆but与although不能同时使用。 4Why do you call your band yesterday? 这个句子是“主语+谓语+宾语+宾语补足语”的结构,your band是call的宾语。yesterday是名词,作宾语(band)的补足语,补充说明your band。例如: We call the little boy San Mao.我们叫这个小孩三毛。 What do you call him?你们怎么称呼他? 5There was a famous band called The Beatles. (1)called The Beatles在句中作定语,修饰a famous band。 (2)The Beatles是世界流行音乐史上最有影响力的摇滚乐队之一,汉语译为“披头士”或“甲壳虫”乐队,成立于二十世纪六十年代英国的利物浦,主唱是约翰·列侬。 |
