Unit 4 Review
afraid 是常用詞。單獨使用時,不表示恐懼的程度。一般說來,它指個人體會到的害怕,與肉體傷害無關(guān),僅是一種感覺,在口語中,常表示一種輕微的擔(dān)心。
例如:i am afraid of bathing in the river, since the woman was drowned there.
我害怕在那河里游泳,因為那個女人是在那兒淹死的。
i’m afraid i am a bit late for my appointment. 恐怕我去赴約有點晚了。
scared, frightened 經(jīng)常意味著遭受肉體傷害的恐懼, 但frightened更帶文氣。
例如:when the lights were out, i was scared. 燈熄了以后,我很害怕。
she has always been frightened of the dark. 她一直害怕黑暗。
anxious 意味著緊張和焦慮,可能只是因為自己多慮的緣故。
例如:she was anxious about her daughter being out so late at night.
她對女兒夜深不歸感到焦慮。
his ill health has been a very anxious business. 他身體不好使人十分擔(dān)心。
fearful 指充滿恐懼或擔(dān)心。和anxious一樣,也可能與外界狀況沒有多大關(guān)系,只是多慮,但在程度上比anxious更強。
例如:they are fearful of another business depression. 他們擔(dān)心再次出現(xiàn)商業(yè)蕭條。
the actress was fearful that the opening night would be a failure. 女演員擔(dān)心首場演出失敗。
賓語從句一二三
初識:賓語從句
賓語從句是我們英語的重要語法之一,學(xué)好它對掌握直接引語和間接引語相當(dāng)有益,對高中英語的名詞性從句也有著潛移默化的作用。初學(xué)賓語從句掌握的幾點:
一、定義。
在復(fù)合句中作賓語的從句叫賓語從句。常見下列三種情況:
引導(dǎo)詞 例 句 備注
連詞that 1. i hear ( that ) he will be back in an hour.
2. he said ( that ) he missed us very much.
3. i know he has gone to the factory. that無詞義常常可以省略。
特殊疑問詞(where, what, when, which, who, whose ) 1. i don’t know where he lives.
2. i want to know when the meeting will begin.
3. do you know who she is?
4. i know what he means. 疑問詞還有how, how long, how many等。
連詞if或whether 1. the teacher asked if you had done your homework.
2. i want to know if you can come in time.
3. i want to know whether it will rain tomorrow. if常用于口語。
二、注意。
不管用什么引導(dǎo)詞引導(dǎo)的賓語從句,賓語從句都應(yīng)采用陳述句的語序,即:引導(dǎo)詞+主語+謂語+賓語+其他成分。試看簡單句和賓語從句的演變過程:
例如:
he got up so late this morning. (簡單陳述句)
did he get up so late this morning? (一般疑問句)
why did he get up so late this morning? (特殊疑問句)
i don’t know why he got up so late this morning. (賓語從句)
再談:賓語從句
由that引導(dǎo)的從句。
可跟that從句作賓語的動詞很多,常用的有:
say, think, insist, wish, hope, suppose, see, believe, agree, expect, explain, order, dream, suggest, demand, feel, hear, wonder, know, mean, intend, understand …
