IV. 重要语法 1. 过去将来时 2. 过去完成时 3. 动词不定式 4. 定语从句 【名师讲解】 1. think/ think/about/ think of (1) think 单独使用时表示"思考", 接that 宾语从句时意为"认为","觉得"。 I am thinking how to work out the problem. I think she is a good student. 当宾语从句含有否定概念时,通常形式上否定think ,但意义上却是否定宾语从句。 I don't think he can come. I don't think it will be windy. (2)think about 可接一个名词,动词-ing 形式或由疑问词引导的不定式或宾语从句,意思是"考虑„„"。 I have thought about it for a long time. Please think about how to tell her the bad news. (3)think of 表示"认为", 一般用于疑问句中,与what 连用。 What do you think of the TV play? = How do you like the TV play? 2. big/ large/ great 上述形容词都表示"大",但侧重点及程度不同。 (1) big指具体事物的大小,强调比正常形体的标准大,既可用在普通场合, 也可用在正式场合。它可用来指人的身材高大或"长大了",还可表示"伟大","重要"之意。如: Can you lift up this big stone? On the last day I made a big decision. (2) large特别强调远远超过标准的大,指体积、面积、容积、数量之大。如: A whale is a large animal. A large crowd collected at the gate of the theatre. (3) great除了表示数量体积之大外,又指抽象的程度,意味着伟大性,重要性, 优越性;常用于抽象 或无形的东西;用于有形的东西时,常带有"伟大","大得令人吃惊"等意思,含有一定的感情色彩。如: China is a great country with a long history. He was one of the greatest scientists. 3. cost/ take/ spend/ pay (1) cost表示"花钱",花费,付出(只能用于钱、精力、生命等;主语必须是物。) The book cost me five yuan. (2) take的主语是动词不定式, 通常用it做形式主语。 It took me five yuan to buy the book.. (3) spend,在主动语句中主语是人 I spent five yuan on (for) the book.或I spent five yuan (in) buying the book. (4) pay的主语是人。 I paid five yuan for the book. 4. expensive/ high/ cheap/ low 这四个词在谈论到价格的高低时,要注意使用。expensive与high涉及到高",而cheap 与low涉及到价格"低"。 (1) expensive昂贵的,花钱多的。这个单词若谈到"价格高,货贵"时,其主语不能是价格,必须是货物、物品本身。如: This watch is expensive. 这只表很贵。 These glass-products are not expensive. 这些玻璃制品不是很值钱。 注意:cheap表示"价廉","便宜的",其主语也不能是价格,必须是物品本身。如: The cheap table was bought from him. 这张便宜的桌子是他卖给我们的。 This cloth doll is very cheap. 这只布娃娃很便宜。 (2)high在表示价格时,含义是"高",low在表示价格时,含义是"低",这两个词不能用于物品本身,只 能用在价格上。如: The price of this watch is very high. 这只表的价格太高了。 The price of this book is not low for me. 这本书的价格对我来说是不低。 下面我们试看几个句子的正误对照: The price of this computer is expensive. (宜改为:This computer is expensive. 或The price of this computer is high. ) The price of this pen is not cheap for him to buy. (宜改为:This pen is not cheap for him to buy. 或 The price of this pen is not low for him. ) 5. alone/ lonely lonely 与alone的意思比较接近,但在使用时有所区别: (1)lonely用作形容词,意思是"孤单的;寂寞的"。可指心灵上的寂寞,也可指偏僻的地点。在句中既可作表语,也可作定语。 (2)alone 可作形容词和副词,意思是"单独;独自",不指心理上寂寞的感觉。 She was taken to a lonely island, lived alone, but she never felt lonely. 她被带到一个荒岛上,自己居住,但她从不感到寂寞。 6. before long/ long before (1)before long 作“不久以后”讲,切不要按字面译为“长时间以前”或“好久以前”。如: We hope to finish our experiment before long. 我们希望不久(以后)就把实验做完。 (2)long before 作"很久以前"讲。原意为"„„以前很久",故也可译为"老早"。long before 跟before long 不同,前者在其后面可以接名词或一个从句;当上下文明确时,名词或从句还可以省略。Before long 则没有上述搭配用法。 They began the test yesterday, but we had made experiment long before. 我们昨天开始做实验,但我们在那以前很久就已经做准备了。 7. as/ when/ while (1)as 是连词,意思是"当„„的时候,一面„„一面",(强调同时,一般连续时间不长),如: As we were talking about Titanic, our teacher came in. 正当我们谈论"泰坦尼克号"这部电影时,教师进来了。 The students sing as they go along. 学生们边走边唱。 (2)When和as一样都是连词,注意它们的不同。如when"当„„的时候"(一般表示动作紧接着发生); "那时"(等立连词,前有逗号分开) I stayed till sunset, when it began to rain. 我一直呆到太阳下山,那时天开始下雨了。 (3)while是"当„„时候;和„„同时"(强调同时发生,一般连续时间较长) While I was watching TV, he was reading. 当我在看电视的时候,他正在看书。 While there is life, there is hope. 有生命就有希望。
