要
点
解
疑
①这是一个反意疑问句
反意疑问句由前后两部分组成,前半部分是陈述句,后半部分是省略的一般疑问句,反意疑问句要求前后意思相反,即前半部分肯定时,后半部分就用否定;而前半部分为否定时,后半部分则为肯定,
例如:You are a
student,
aren't you?
你是学生,不是吗?
She doesn't speak English,
does she?
她不会说英语,对吧?
在读反意疑问句时,前面陈述部分用降调,后半部分可视对陈述的事情把握大小而定,把握较大时,可用降调,相反可用升调。
使用反意疑问句应注意以下几点:
前后两部分要在人称,时态和数上保持一致,
例如:He went to school at
6:30,
didn't he?
他6:30上学,不是吗?
前半部分主语是名词时,后半部分要用相应的人称代词来代替,
例如:My mother likes
fish,
doesn't she?
我母亲喜欢吃鱼,不是吗?
后半部分如果是否定的,要使用缩写形式。
如果前半部分句中有few,little,nothing,no,nobody,hardly等表示否定的问时,后半部分则要使用肯定形式,
例如:There is little water
in the glass,
is there?
杯子里几乎没有水,是吗?
He never gets up late,
doe she?
他从不起晚,是吗?
有一些特殊的例子,需特别注意,
例如:I am a
teacher,
aren't I?
我是老师,难道不是吗?
Let us play football,
will you?
我们去蹋足球,行吗?
Let's go and see the animals,
shall we?
我们去看动物吧,好吗?
I think he is wrong,
isn't he?
我想他错了,不是吗?
②sure在本句为副词,意为“的确,一定”,
例如:It sure is a cold
night.的确是个寒冷的夜晚。
—Can I borrow your
bike?
—Sure!
—我能借你的自行车吗?—当然!
另外sure也可用作形容词,意为“有把握的,确信的”。
例如:I'm sure I can do
it.我确信我能做成它。
拓展:be sure of
sth.,对某事有把握。
例如:Are you sure of
it?
你对它确定吗?
be sure to do sth.确信(一定)能做某事,
例如:It is sure to
rain.一定会下雨。
③这里Yes,
it does用来回答上文的反意疑问句;It looks like rain,
doesn't it?
在回答反意疑问句时,要根据客观事实进行作答,要注意英汉不一致的表述方式。
例如:It isn't cold
today,
is it?
今天不冷,是吗?如果冷(即客观事实是肯定的),则用Yes,
it is.回答,而译为汉语为:不,天冷,而如果天不冷(即客观事实是否定的),应用No,
it isn't回答,而译为汉语为:是的,不冷。
④rain在本句为动词,意为“下雨”。
例如:Look! It's
raining看!天在下雨。
It often rains here,
doesn't it?
这儿经常下雨,不是吗?
rain用作名词,雨。
例如:I don't like the
rain.我不喜欢这场雨。
The rain is very boring.这场雨很讨厌。
⑤by为介词,有多种含义,需注意区分。
by到……时(为止).在本句即为此意。
例如:You must finish the
task by the end of the month.在月底前你必须完成这任务。
by在……旁,靠近。
例如:There's a tree by the
lake.湖边有棵树。
by(表示方法,手段)靠,用,通过,乘(某种交通工具);
Jim of ten goes to school by bus.吉姆经常乘公共汽车去上学。
What do you mean by that?
你讲那个是指什么?
They pick coffee beans from the plants by hand.
他们用手从植株上采摘咖啡豆荚。
⑥windy有风的,风大的,形容词。可以认为是由名词wind(风)
在词尾加-y变来的形容词,相似的词还有:
rain→rainy(下雨的),sand→sandy(沙地),health(健康)→healthy(健康的)ice→icy(有冰的),snow→snowy(下雪的),cloud→cloudy(多云的,阴天的),noise(噪音)→noisy(喧哗的,吵闹的),等等。
通过构词法我们可以加深理解,记准单词。
⑦交际用语Have a good
day?
意为“祝你过得愉快”。相似的还可以说成have
a good time!
往往在对话中对方提出要去某地旅游、休闲或娱乐等时使用,
例如:—Tomorrow I'm going
fishing. Have a good day!
—明天我要去钓鱼。
—祝你愉快!
—We'll go to visit the
Great Wall in the coming holiday.
在即将到来的假期中我们要去参观长城。
—Have a good
time!
祝你快乐!
⑧look
through在本单元出现两种含义。
look through浏览,在本句中即为此意。
例如:Please look through
the whole passage before you fill in the blanks.在填空前请先浏览全文。
look through审核,仔细查看。
例如:I'm going to look
through the newspapers for a holiday job.
为了找份假期的工作我将审核报纸。
拓展:look
through还可表达“透过……看去”。
例如:He looked through the
window and found Tom inside.
他透过窗户看去,发现汤姆在里面。
⑨alone有两种词性
alone副词,单独地;独自。
例如:I want to go there
alone.我想单独去那儿。
He did it all alone.这事是他一个人干的。
alone形容词,单独的,独一无二的。
例如:We are alone
here.这里只有我们,(无其他人)。
Ann is often alone at home.安经常独自在家。
拓展:而lonely是指一种感觉,“孤独的,寂寞的”。
He likes to be alone. He never feels lonely.
他喜欢独处。他从不感到孤独。
⑩cross动词、穿过;横过;越过。
例如:Cross the bridge.
Then you'll see it.过桥,然后你就会看到它了。
You must look carefully before you cross the street.
在横穿街道前,你一定要仔细看看。
而across为介词,横穿,穿过。
例如:He walked across the
bridge already.他已经过了桥了。
⑩low,低的,不高的,这里指价钱低,在谈论价钱高低时可以说:
The price is low.价钱低。
The price is too high.价钱太高。
注意:不能说The price is
expensive.或The price is cheap.
expensive和cheap是用来形容商品的,其主语不能为price(价钱)。
可以说:The apples are
cheap.苹果便宜。
The oranges are expensive.橘子贵。
