teenager, n. “十来岁的青少年”
e.g. He joined a club for teenagers. 他参加了一个青少年的俱乐部。
2. I’m getting fat. Look at my stomach. 我正在发胖,看我的肚子。
get 在这里是一个连系动词,与形容词一起构成系表结构。
e.g. He got tired after the long walk.
连系动词除be动外,还有感官动词:look, sound, smell, taste, feel,还有三个“变”,即:get, turn, become等
e.g. The cake tastes good.
What’s wrong? You look unhappy today.
3. Eating too much makes you unhealthy. 吃得太多使你不健康。
eating too much 动名词短语做主语
e.g. Running and swimming are good for you.

close adj. “亲密的”、“紧挨着的”

She is crazy about dancing. 她对跳舞着迷。
6. I’d like your advice. 我想听听你的意见。

7. We like staying out late to play football. 我们喜欢在外面踢足球踢到很晚。
stay out 意思是“呆在外面;呆在户外”,常用的固定词组还有“stay up”,意思是“不睡觉,熬夜”。

They offer their lives to art. 他们把生命奉献给了艺术。
11. This will give you an idea of how much free time you have.
这能让你知道自己到底有多少空闲时间。
idea的本意是“想法;理解”。

come up with an idea 想出一个办法
have no idea 料想不到;毫无所知;不理解
12. I hope this piece of suggestion will be useful to you. 我希望这条建议能对你有用。
suggestion做“建议;方案”时是可数名词,可以加“s”,也可以在前面加“a”。在这里用a piece of suggestion表示“一条建议”是为了强调。
e.g. At your suggestion I bought the car. 在你的建议下,我买了那辆车。
Vocabulary
1. Although I know homework is important, I become angry when there is too much to do because I will not have time for my hobbies.
尽管我知道功课很重要,但是当作业多得做不完时,我还是会很生气,因为我就没有时间去何做我的事情了。
这是一个多重从句,although 引导的是一个让步状语从句,when引导的是一个时间状语从句,because引导的是一个原因状语从句,主句是I become angry. 所以看见这种长句不要害怕,可以学着把各种修饰成分分开,最终找到主句,就能明白作者的本意了。
2. I do not have much time to revise for tests.
revise本意是“修正;修改;再检查”,在英式英语中有“温习”的意思,等于review。
如:revise(one’s lessons) for the examination 复习(功课准备)迎考。
Grammar (A) (B)
(A) ‘wh-’ words + ‘to’- infinitives
有一些动词后面可以接疑问词how, what, when, where, which, who再加动词不定式,但是why没有这种用法。这类动词中最常用的有:ask, decide, discover, find out, forget, know, learn, remember, see, show+宾语,think, understand, want to know, wonder。如:
(1)He discovered how to open the safe. 他发现了打开保险柜的方法。
(2)I found out where to buy fruit cheaply. 我找到了买便宜水果的地方。
(3)I didn’t know when to switch the machine off. 我不知道什么时候关掉机器。
(4)I showed her which button to press. 我指点她应该按哪个按钮。
(5)She couldn’t think what to say. 她想不出说什么。
我们也可以用宾语从句表达同样的意思,但是通常从句的主语必须与主句的主语或宾语相同,所以上述句子也可以用下面的句子表达。如:
(1)He discovered how he could open the safe.
(2)I found out where I could buy fruit cheaply.
(3)I didn’t know when I should switch the machine off.
(4)I showed her which button she should press.
(5)She couldn’t think what she could say.
(B) Sentence Types 句子种类
我们通常使用的句子可以分为四种:陈述句(肯定句和否定句)、疑问句(一般疑问句和特殊疑问句)、祈使句、感叹句。陈述句常用来提供信息;疑问句用来咨询信息或要求知道某件事情;祈使句用于提出命令或要求;感叹句用于表达一种强烈的感情。
(1)It’s a sunny day. 今天是晴天。 (一种简单的陈述)
(2)Mr. Wu isn’t at home today. 吴老师今天不在家。(也是一种简单的陈述)
(3)Are the children playing games? 孩子们在玩游戏吗?(在向别人咨询信息)
(4)Where is the nearest police station, please? 请问,最近的警察局在哪里?
(请别人告知某事)
(5)Don’t put the glass here. Please put it over there. 不要把杯子放在这儿。请把它放那儿。(发出命令)
