Step 6. Language points
1. Life is full of the unexpected. 生活充满了意 外。
the unexpected 为名词化的形容词,意为“出乎意料的事”。英语中,有些形容词与定冠词the连用,表示一类人或事物,在句子中起名词的作用。
例:the homeless
(1)
The sick are always taken good care of in that hospital. 在那家医院里病人们总是受到很好 的照 顾。(the sick=the sick people)
(2) 这种结构中的形容词虽已名词化,但其语言行为仍具有极强的形容词特征,或具有比较的特征。
The severely disabled need full-time care. 重度残疾人需要全天 候 拌 护。
He is spoiled, and always asks for the most expensive.他被惯坏了,总是嚷着要最贵的东西。
(3) 名词化的形容词前面一般用定冠词the. 但若由and链接(两形容词往往为反义词),成 对的使用时,又通常被省略。
He is popular with both young and old.老老少少都喜欢他。
It is said that the man was widely respected by both rich and poor.
据说那个人颇收人尊 敬,无论是穷人还是富人。
2.
already ______ in the shower. 我起床时,我弟弟已经进入浴室了。
“by the time”表示“当/到……时”,引导时间状语从句。如果从句中用了一般过去时,主语中常用过去完成时;如果主句中用了将来时,从句中常用一般现在时表将来。
例:By the time I got up, he had already left. 当我起床时,他已经离开了。
3.When I got to school, I realized I ____________ my backpack at home.
当我到学校时我意 识到我把书包忘在家里了。
表示“把 某 物 忘 在 某 处”要用词组leave sth. +地点。forget意为“遗忘某物”,指忘记一件具体的东西,但不能有具体的地点。
I left my book on the desk. 我把书忘在了桌 子上。
I forgot my umbrella yesterday .我昨天忘了带伞。
4. My alarm clock didn’t go off! 我的闹 钟没 响。

我的闹钟出毛 病了,它没有响。
5. Carl’s dad saw me on the street and gave me a lift in his car.
Carl的爸爸在街上看到我, 捎了我一程。
give sb. a lift 是动词短语,意为“捎 某人一程”,相当于give sb. a ride / give a ride to sb.
I’m a little late, can you give me a lift, dad? 我要迟到了,你能捎我一程吗,爸爸?
6. We stared in disbelief at the black smoke rising above the burning building.
我们难以置信地看着燃 烧的建 筑 物升起的黑 烟。

8. The other planes were full so I had to wait till the next day.
