3.学习倒装句的用法。

二、重点与难点

L.77

1.Hopefully tomorrow will turn out fine. 明天有希望转晴。

a)句中的hopefully是修饰全句的状语,意为“有希望地”。例如:

Hopefully our team will win the game and win a medal.

我们队有希望赢得这场比赛并得块奖牌。

“We are sure that we can finish the task in a day or two” they said hopefully.

他们倍心十足地说:“我们肯定能在一两天内完成这项任务。

hopefully在本句中是美国口语的用法,意思是It is hoped that…。

b)句中的turn out是一个多意词组,它的语义要根据上下文来决定,可以作“结果是……”解,也可以作“最后情况是……”解。例如:

It rained this morning, but it turned out fine. 今天上午还下雨呢,但下午天就晴了。

She turned out to be a friend of my sister. 她原来是我妹妹的朋友。

The job turned out to be harder than we thought. 这项工作结果比我们想的要难。

在以上的句子中,turn out分别作“其结果是……”“最后情况是……”解。

2.I’ve always dreamt of coming to China, and now my dream has come true.

我一直梦想来中国,现在我的梦终于实现了。

句中的dream一词既是名词,也可以作动词(及物动词或不及物动词),意为“梦”,“梦想”,其结构为dream of doing sth.或dream+that从句。例如:

The boy told me that he had dreamt a very strange dream.

男孩告诉我他做了一个很怪的梦。

My son’s dream is to be an actor. 我儿子的理想是当一个演员。

He dreams of becoming a famous violinist one day.

他梦想有朝一日能成为一名著名的小提琴演奏家。

I never dreamt that I’d see you again. 我绝没想到还能看见你。

3.I seldom have any difficulties. 我很少有困难。

a)seldom在句中是副词,作“很少”,“不常”解,通常用在动词前。例如:

I seldom go out on Sundays. 星期日我很少外出。

We seldom see him do his homework when he is at school.

我们很少看见他在学校做作业。

seldom视为否定词,因此句子一般被视为否定句,若后面跟反意疑问句时,应用肯定式。例如:

His wife seldom spends money on clothes, does she?

他的妻子很少花钱买衣服,是吗?

注意:类似的词还有hardly, rarely, never等。

b)句中的difficulty为可数名词,作“难事”、“难做的事”解,但在句型 “have difficulty (in) doing sth.中,difficulty是不可数名词,意思是“困难”、“艰难”、“费力”解。例如:

With the help of my friends, I’ve overcome difficulties in my study.

在朋友的帮助下,我克服了学习中的困难。

The students have difficulty in understanding the sentence.

学生们理解这个句子有困难。

4.But I’m determined to enjoy myself as much as possible, even though I can’t see everything.

但我决定尽可能地玩个痛快,即使我看不到所有的地方。

句中的even though是连词词组,作“即使”、“尽管”、“纵然”解,引导让步状语从句,例如:

Even though he is very nice, I don’t really trust him.

尽管他很好,我并不真正信任他。

The farmers are working in the fields even though it is raining hard.

尽管下着雨,可是农夫们仍在田间工作着。

有时even though可以用even if代替,例如:

We shall go to visit the place of interest even if it rains tomorrow.

即使明天下雨,我们明天也将去参观名胜。

They will stand by you even if you don’t succeed. 尽管你不成功,他们也仍将支持你。

5.It’s a pleasure. What time is it by your watch, please?

不必客气。请问您的表几点了?

句中的pleasure为名词,意为“快乐”、“愿望”、“意向”

“Will you join us?” “Thank you, with pleasure”.

“你愿意和我们一起去吗?”“谢谢你,非常愿意”。

L.78

1.That is because this professor has a disease which prevents him from speaking, ….

这是因为这位教授患有影响他发音的疾病,…

句中的词组prevent sb. from doing sth.作“阻止……发生”,“阻止(某人)做某事”解,其中的from一词可以省略。例如:

谁阻止他们的计划实施了?

The rain prevented me (from) coming that day.

那天这场雨使我不能来这儿。

2.Not only does he have to type out the answer on a computer, but he also gets the computer to translate into sounds.

他不仅要把答案在电脑上打出来,而且还要让电脑把它译成声音。

a)这是一个倒装句。以not only开头的句子,常用倒装语序,即助动词(did, does, have|+主语+动词的原形,而but also部分不倒装)。除了not only…but also句型外,含有否定意义的副词或连词放在句首时,也常用倒装语序。这些词有,not, never, little, seldom, hardly等。例如:

Not a single word did I hear. 我一个字也没听见。

Never have I seen such a sad movie. 我从没看过这么悲惨的电影。

Not only does she play the piano well, but she also sings well.

她不仅钢琴弹得好,唱得也很好。

Seldom does he go to see his parents. 他很少去看望他的父母。

b)句中的translate…into…意为“将……翻译成……”,表达这一意思是,还可以用词组put…into…以及turn…into…。例如:

老师让他的学生们将那些句子译成中文。

3.The case of Professor Stephen Hawking is one example of the many disabled people who have achieved success in their chosen field of work.

a)case在句中作“情况”、“案件”、“实情”、“事例”解。例如:

I must leave if that’s the case. 如果情况如此的话,我必须离开。

His case is a particular one. 他的情况特殊。

Such being the case, you can’t stand by. 既然情况如此,你不能袖手旁观。

另外,case一词还可以与介词in一起连用,这时in case一起作复合连词,引导状语从句,作“万一”,“如果”解。例如:

In case he comes, please let me know. 如果他来的话,请告诉我一声。

Take warm clothes in case the weather is cold. 请带些保暖的衣服以防天凉。

In case he arrives before I get back, please ask him to wait.

万一他在我回来之前到了,请让他等着。

b)句中的achieve一词意思是“取得”、“达到”、“实现”,相当于动词gain, complete。例如:

If you don’t work hard, you’ll achieve nothing. 如果不努力工作,你将一无可获。

The scientist hoped to achieve the aims by the end of year.

这位科学家希望在年底前达到他的目标。

achievement是achieve一词的名词,意为“成就”、“成绩”,这时常用作复数。

4.Although he had a disease of the brain which was getting worse, he decided to continue with his research and writing.

尽管他患有正在恶化的脑疾,他依然决心继续研究和写作。

句中的continue作不及物动词,后接介词with,意思是“继续(做某事)”,相当于go on with sth.例如:

The children asked the old man to continue with his story.

孩子们请求老人继续讲故事。

Though the teacher was out of the classroom, the students continued with their homework.

虽然老师离开了教室,但学生们仍继续做功课。

5.Beethoven, who lived from 1770~1827, lost his hearing, yet continued to write great music.

贝多芬(1770~1827)失去了听力,但仍然继续写出了伟大的音乐作品。

句中的yet是一个很活跃的词,它可以作副词,也可以作连词。例如:

a)yet用于否定句和疑问句中,意思是“还(没有)”,与already相对:

I don’t want to go away yet. 我还不想离开呢。

“Has he come yet?” “No, not yet”. 他来了吗?没有。他还没来呢!

b)yet有时也用肯定句中,表示“还”、“仍”的意思。

d)作连词时,yet表示“但是”、“尽管如此”。例如:

yet有时连接二个形容词,表示“却”的意思。例如:

1.Some people have the wrong attitude towards people with disabilities, considering them to be stupid. 有些人对残疾人持有不正确的态度,认为他们愚蠢。

I haven’t yet made up my mind what attitude to adopt towards her.

我还没打定注意对她采取什么态度。

What’s your attitude towards this idea? 你对这个主意有什么看法?

b)句中的considering them to be stupid是~ing短评,在句中作状语,表示伴随的动作。同时也可以把全句理解为相当一个具有两个并例谓语动词的简单句,既Some people have the wrong attitude towards people with disabilities and consider them to be stupid.

c)consider作“认为”解,后面跟带不定式的复合结构:consider sb./sth. to be…

意思是“认为……是……”。例如:

Grammar(语法) Inversion(倒装)

在本单元中出现了这样的句子,“In a lecture hall of a university in England sits a professor”。在英国一所大学的报告厅里,坐着一位教授。
