 重点·难点·考点及疑点注释

  1They 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。

  2Erik, 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。

  3There 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。

  4Why 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?

  5There 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。
