5. the movie was boring,i fell asleep half way through it. 這部電影令人厭煩。在放映了一半時我就睡著了。
(1)boring表示“令人厭煩的”,bored表示“厭煩的”
the book was boring. when he read the book,he felt bored. 這本書很令人厭煩。當他讀的時候,覺得很煩。
bored在這里是過去分詞作形容詞用,許多動詞的現在分詞和過去分詞均可作形容詞,區別在于過去分詞有被動意味,常指“……對……感到……”,主語通常是“人”,后面多接介詞;而現在分詞有主動意味,指“使人……的”,常用作表語,而主語通常是“物”。
例如:
he is interested in science. 他對科學很感興趣。
the story is very interesting. 這個故事很有趣。
i was surprised at his answer. 我對他的回答感到吃驚。
the result is surprising. 結果使人吃驚。
(2)fall asleep意為“睡著了”,fall是連系動詞,asleep是形容詞,作表語。
when he was reading,he fell asleep. 他看書時睡著了。
6. in the usa,some people ask their families and friends to give money to charity rather than buying them gifts. 在美國,一些人要求他們的家人和朋友把錢捐給慈善機構而不是給他們買禮物。
(1)本句中兩個to,第一個to為不定式符號,后為動詞原形,第二個to作介詞。
例如:
the teacher asked me to take the books to the classroom 老師讓我把書拿到教室里去。
(2)rather than表示“與其……(不如……),不是……(而是……)”是連詞詞組,可在兩個并列的成分中選擇,也可連接兩個謂語、兩個表語、兩個主語等。當主句有動詞不定式,rather than后可接帶to的動詞不定式或不帶to的動詞不定式,也可以用動名詞形式。
例如:
things fall to the earth rather than go up into the air.東西落到地面上而不是飛向天空。
these shoes are comfortable rather than pretty. 這些鞋子談不上漂亮但穿起來很舒服。
i rather than you,should do the work. 該做這工作的是我,而不是你。
