第二课：迪斯尼乐园(1)

　　重点-难点-考点及疑点注释

　　1、wish作名词用表示“愿望”、“渴望”，一般和不定式或介词for连用，注意for后接名词，不接动名词。不定式或介词for短语均作wish的定语。

　　I have no wish to go abroad.我不想出国。

　　I have a wish for peace.我希望天下太平。

　　2、take along随身带着；携带

　　此处along是副词，人称代词作宾语须放在中间，名词则可以放在along之后。

　　①You should take along your own food.你们要自带食物。

　　②—Where is your bag?你的包呢?

　　—I forgot to take it along.忘带了。

　　3、in the hope of抱有的希望

　　The villagers wentsintosthe mountains, in the hope of finding the lost boy.

　　村民们去搜山，希望找到迷路的孩子。

　　He called on Tom in the hope of getting help from him.

　　他去拜访汤姆，希望得到他的帮助。

　　4、在think、believe、suppose、guess

　　等动词后面的宾语从句，如果是否定句时，通常把主句中的动词变成否定式，而宾语从句中的谓语动词用肯定式。例如：

　　I don't think youve finished your job.我想你还没完成你的工作。

　　I don't believe it will snow tomorrow.我相信明天不会下雪。

　　5、lose heart失去信心；灰心

　　当lose heart表灰心、气馁时，该短语不能发生任何变化，如添加冠词或把heart变成复数等。lose one's heart to something/somebody

　　则表示“倾心于某事”或“爱上了某人”。

　　What a disappointment! It's enough to make her lose heart.

　　多么令人失望的事情!这足以让她失去信心。

　　He lost his heart to music.他倾心于音乐。

　　6、in this way用这种方式；用这种办法

　　You mustn't speak to your father in this way.

　　你绝不能用这种口气和你父亲说话。

　　辨析：way表示“方法”，“办法”，同义词有method, means,

　　但介词的搭配不同，way和in构成in this way,其他两个则为with this/that method，by this/that means.

　　7、pick up拿起；捡起

　　He picked up a stone and threw it at the dog.他捡起一块石头朝狗扔去。

　　8、be pleased with对满意

　　The boss was pleased with my answer and nodded me to sit down.

　　老板对我的回答很满意，随后点头示意我坐下。

　　Both the teacher and the students are pleased with the answer of the boy.

　　老师和学生都对男孩的回答表示满意。
