在前两个单元中我们已经对课本中的疑难点作了一些讲解,现对未讲到的一些知识点作以归纳。 1. The actors make us laugh by making fun of somebody's way of dressing or telling an amusing story. 表演者通过取笑某人的着装方式、讲有趣的故事,引我们发笑。 【问】句中的介词by是什么意思?telling 短语的前面是省略了介词by呢,还是省略了介词of呢? 【答】 by在英语中有很多意思,而by doing sth.常用来表示"通过做某事的办法"。如: -How was it that you were able to learn English so well? 你是怎么把英语学得这么好的? -By attending the evening classes. 上夜读班。 The mother got her son back home by telephoning him that she was seriously ill. 母亲通过打电话给她儿子说她病重,让他回家的。 telling短语的前面应该是省略了介词by, 这是为了避免介词的重复使用。 2. They often act alone or as a pair. 他们单独或结对演出。 【问】 as用在这里表示什么意思? 【答】 as在这里用作介词,可理解为"作为、充当"。如: The policewoman took good care of the throwaway baby as a temporary mother. 女警察充当一个临时母亲,照顾好这个被遗弃的婴孩。 She doesn't want to serve as a waitress in the restaurant. 她不想在饭馆里当一名招待员。 在某些动词词组里也用上as,如: regard...as, consider...as, treat...as, think of...as等。如: We have never considered him as a stranger. 我们从来没有把他看作外人。 3. What comedians have in common with the players in a comedy is their way of playing with words. 滑稽演员与喜剧演员,共同点在于说话玩弄辞藻。 【问】 这是不是一个特殊疑问句?为什么句尾没有问号? 【答】这不是特殊疑问句,而是一个以疑问词开头的主语从句。要注意,这时候其谓语动词必须用单数(如本句里的 is )。如: Who he is doesn't concern me. 他是谁与我无关。 What he did is not yet known. 他干了什么尚不清楚。 【补充说明】本句中的What作have的宾语,构成have what in common with..., 表"与……有什么共同处"。另外,该结构还可以写成have nothing( something, a lot, little...) in common with..., 表"与……没有(有点、有许多、很少……)共同之处。"如: I can't get on well with him, for we have nothing in common with each other. 我不可能与他相处好,因为我们没有一点共同之处。 4. Even the gestures we use for "yes" and "no" are different around the world. 即使要表示"是或不是"的手势,在世界各地也各不相同。 【问】句中的we use for "yes" and "no" 与前后的关系是什么样的? 【答】we use for "yes" and "no"是定语从句,修饰前面的the gestures;由于关系代词which 或that作use的宾语,故把它省略了。主句是Even the gestures are different around the world.。又如: Where is the book (which) I bought this morning? 今天上午我买的那本书在哪儿? The letter (that) I received from him yesterday is very important. 昨天我从他那儿收到的信很重要。 5. And if we are feeling down and lonely, there is nothing better than to see the smiling face of a good friend. 如果我们情绪低落或者感到孤独,那么没有比看到好友的笑脸更好的了。 【问】在"there is nothing better than ..." 的后面一定要跟带to的动词不定式吗? 【答】是的。这是一种习惯说法,其基本结构是there is/was nothing better than to do sth., 表"没有什么比做某事更好的了"。如: There is nothing better than to sit on the bed, watching TV. 没有什么比坐在床上看电视更好的了。 That night there was nothing better than to see an arriving taxi and take it. 那天夜里,没有比看见一辆驶来的出租车并乘上它更好的了。 (文/黄旦谷;英语辅导报高中一年级版 03~04学年第42期; 版权归英语辅导报社所有,独家网络合作伙伴新浪教育,未经许可,不得以任何形式进行转载。) |
