今天的句型很实用，让你把“爱”说出来！
Fall in love with…
我们都知道一见钟情可以说成是love at first sight，同样的意思如果用这个句型来表达，就可以说：
As soon as we met, we fell in love with each other.
我们刚一见面，就爱上对方了。
爱情就是这么奇妙，难怪俗语说Love is blind.（爱情是盲目的; 情人眼里出西施。）
其实，对某项事业或某件东西的喜爱程度很深，也可以说fall in love with that thing, Mia爱上了足球可以说fall in love with soccer，如果你特别钟情于某首歌，就可以说
I fell in love with this song when I first heard it.
我第一次听这首歌就爱上它了。
【世博语法小教室】
Led是lead的过去式，意思是to bring or show the way to (person or animal) by going in front。领头；带领；引导，牵引（人或动物）。
Guide和direct是它的近义词，那么它们有什么区别呢？今天我们讨论这个问题。
to lead is to show the way by going first, to guide is to show the way and explain things, and to direct is to explain to someone how to get to a place.
走在前面带路用lead ,边领路边讲解用guide ，向某人解释如何到某一地方去用direct。
看看下面的例子：
He led them down the mountain. 他带领他们下山。（他走在大家前面。）
She guided the tourists round the castle. 她引导旅游者参观了这座城堡。（她走在大家之中，边走边介绍。）
Could you direct me to the station, please? 请问到车站怎么走？（这个人并不行动，只是指点别人怎么做。）
如何猜测句子中生词的意思三
三 外部相关因素
外部相关因素是指篇章(句子或段落)以外的其他知识。有时仅靠分析篇章内在逻辑关系无法猜出词义。这时,就需要运用生活经验和普通常识确定词义。
例如： Husband：it‘s really cold out tonight. Wife: Sure it is. My hands are practically numb. How about lighting the furnace?
根据生活经验，天气寒冷时，手肯定是“冻僵的，冻得麻木的”。
The snake slithered through the grass.
根据有关蛇的生活习性的知识，我们可以推断出slither词义为“爬行”。
在猜测词义过程中，除了使用上面提到的一些技巧，我们还可以依靠构词方面的知识， 从生词本身猜测词义。
1. 根据前缀猜测词义
例如：He fell into a ditch and lay there, semiconscious, for a few minutes. 根据词根conscious（清醒的，有意识的），结合前缀semi（半，部分的，不完全的`），我们便可猜出semiconscious词义“半清醒的，半昏迷的”。I‘m illiterate about such things. 词根literate 意为“有文化修养的，通晓的”，前缀il表示否定，因此illiterate指 “一窍不通，不知道的”。
2. 根据后缀猜测词义
例如：Insecticide is applied where it is needed. 后缀cide表示“杀...者，杀灭剂”，结合大家熟悉的词根insect（昆虫），不难猜出 insecticide意为“杀虫剂”。Then the vapor may change into droplets. 后缀let表示“小的”，词根drop指“滴，滴状物”。将两个意思结合起来，便可推断出droplet词义“小滴，微滴”。
3.根据复合词的各部分猜测词义
例如： Growing economic problems were highlighted by a slowdown in oil output. Hightlight或许是一个生词，但是分析该词结构后，就能推测出其含义。它是由 high （高的，强的）和light（光线）两部分组成，合在一起便是“以强光照射，使突出” 的意思。 Bullfight is very popular in Spain. Bull（公牛）和fight（打，搏斗）结合在一起，指一种在西班牙 颇为流行的体育运 动---斗牛。
综上所述，利用各种已知信息推测、判断词义是一项重要的阅读技巧。在实践中，我们可以灵活运用，综合运用上面提到的几种猜测技巧，排除生词的障碍，顺利理解文章的思想内容，提高阅读速度。
Man sentenced for fake bomb threats
A man who fabricated a terrorist threat against the Oriental Pearl TV Tower was sentenced to eight months in prison yesterday.
The Pudong New Area People's Court yesterday sentenced He Wanrong, 54, to prison for fabricating terroristic information.

On the night of April 11, he called the police hot line 110, saying that three men were placing bombs at the foot of the TV tower overlooking the Bund. More than 30 policemen hurried to the spot but found nothing. He was arrested the next morning.
