◇詞句解析
1.How much is this T?鄄shirt?
詢問某物的價格時,常用句型“How much + be (is/are) +物品?”,意為“……多少錢?”。當(dāng)物品是單數(shù)名詞或不可數(shù)名詞時,用“How much is...? ”回答時用“It?蒺s +錢數(shù).”。當(dāng)物品是復(fù)數(shù)名詞時,用“How much are...? ”回答時用“They?蒺re +錢數(shù).”。例如:
①—How much is the bag? 這個提包多少錢?
—It?蒺s ten dollars. 10美元。
②—How much are these apples? 這些蘋果多少錢?
—They are three dollars. 3美元。
【拓展】詢問某物的價格時,還可用“What?蒺s the price of+物品?”,回答也用“It?蒺s / They?蒺re+錢數(shù).”。
2.When is your birthday?
when是疑問副詞,意為“什么時候”, 用來引導(dǎo)特殊疑問句,即對年、月、日以及時刻進行提問。其結(jié)構(gòu)為When + 一般疑問句?例如:
—When is your brother?蒺s birthday? 你弟弟的生日是什么時候?
—His birthday is on June 18th. 他的生日是六月十八日。
【拓展】what time意為“幾點”,通常對具體的時間(如幾點幾分)進行提問。
3.At three this afternoon.
My birthday is in August.
I?蒺m very busy on Friday. I want to meet you on Friday afternoon.
這幾句話涉及了表示時間的介詞at、in和on的用法。
表示“在幾點幾分”或“在中午”時,用介詞at;表示泛指“在上午(下午、晚上)”時,用介詞in;在“某年、某月、某個季節(jié)”用介詞in;特指“在某一天”“某一天的上午(下午、晚上)”或“在星期幾”時,用介詞on。
4.Have a good time!
Have a good time!作為祝福用語,意為“祝您過得愉快!”,用于句子中,意為“過得愉快”。例如:
We have a good time at Bill?蒺s birthday party. 我們在比爾的生日聚會上過得很愉快。
5.Oh, but Sam isn?蒺t leaving until next Wednesday.
until的意思是“到……止”,既可用作介詞,也可用作連詞。用作介詞時,后面一般跟表示時間的名詞(短語);用作連詞時,后面接句子。在肯定句中,主句中的謂語動詞一般是延續(xù)性的,它所表示的動作一直持續(xù)到until所表示的時間為止。在否定句中,主句中的謂語動詞一般是終止性的,表示主句謂語動詞的動作直到until所表示的時間才發(fā)生。例如:
①She will stay until Saturday. 她要一直待到星期六。
②Wait here until I come back. 在這兒等直到我回來。
③The child couldn?蒺t speak until he was five years old.那個孩子直到5歲才會說話。
6.—Can you come to my party on Saturday afternoon?
—Sure, I?蒺d love to.
情態(tài)動詞can用在疑問句中,表示委婉語氣的請求、向別人征求意見等。用Could you...?時,語氣比can更委婉??隙ɑ卮鹨话銥閅es / Sure / Certainly, I?蒺d love to.(是的/當(dāng)然可以,我很愿意)。否定回答一般用“I?蒺m sorry. / Sorry.”表示禮貌地拒絕,也可先說 I?蒺d love / like to,表示接受對方的邀請,然后用but說明不能接受的原因并表示歉意。例如:
①—Can you help me take these books to the classroom? 你能幫我把這些書拿到教室去嗎?
—Sure, I?蒺d love to. 當(dāng)然可以,我愿意。
②—Can you go to the movies with me? 你能和我一起去看電影嗎?
—Sorry, I can?蒺t. 對不起,我不能去。
7.Bring Mr. Steen to the party without telling her so that she can be surprised.
without是介詞,意為“無;沒有”,含有否定意思。例如:
①We can?蒺t live without water or air. 沒有空氣和水,我們無法生存。
②I can?蒺t do it without your help. 沒有你的幫助,我就不能做這件事。
8.I look forward to hearing from you all.
look forward to是一個固定短語,意思是“盼望;期待”,to為介詞,后面可跟名詞、代詞、動詞?鄄ing形式,不可跟動詞原形。例如:
①I am looking forward to seeing you. 我期盼著與你見面。
②We are looking forward to the winter holiday. 我們正盼望著寒假呢。
9.I prefer music that has great lyrics.
prefer是及物動詞,意為“更喜歡;較喜歡”,相當(dāng)于like...better,后面接名詞、代詞時,表示“更喜歡某人或某物”;后面接動詞?鄄ing或不定式作賓語時,表示“特別喜歡做某事”。例如:
①Do you prefer apples or bananas? 你更喜歡蘋果還是香蕉?
②He prefers going to work by bike everyday. 他更喜歡每天騎自行車去上班。
My father prefers to watching soccer matches. 我父親比較喜歡看足球比賽。
【拓展】prefer...to...,意為“喜歡……而不喜歡……;喜歡……勝過……”,其中to是介詞,后接名詞、代詞或動詞?鄄ing形式。
10.Even after Abing got married and had a home again, he continued to sing and play on the streets.
get married意為“結(jié)婚”,若與表示一段時間的狀語連用,要用be married。例如:
They have been married for ten years.他們已結(jié)婚十年了。
【拓展】marry作及物動詞時,意為“和……結(jié)婚”,為終止性動詞,不可與表示一段時間的狀語連用;marry也可用作不及物動詞,意為“結(jié)婚”。
11.You?蒺re supposed to shake hands.
be supposed to do sth.意為“被期望或按要求做某事;應(yīng)該做某事”,be有人稱、數(shù)和時態(tài)的變化。例如:
①You were supposed to be here an hour ago. 你應(yīng)該在一個小時前到這兒。
②Everyone is supposed to wear a seat belt in the car. 每個人在車?yán)锒嫉孟瞪习踩珟А?/p>
12.I have to say that I find it difficult to remember everything.
find作“發(fā)現(xiàn)”講時,可用于“find + it + 形容詞(作賓語補足語)+動詞不定式”結(jié)構(gòu),it是形式賓語,真正的賓語是后面的動詞不定式。例如:
I found it important to learn English well. 我發(fā)現(xiàn)學(xué)好英語很重要。
