Unit3 Fairness For All

3. maybe white businesses are suffering now since we don’t shop downtown any more.
剖析：suffer vi. 相當于 “ have loss”, 受損
his business suffered while he was ill.在他患病期間他的生意受損了。
還有其他意思，如“經歷，遭受”；suffer pain/defeat/adversity 遭受痛苦（失敗，不幸）。
“not…any more” 是“不再去商業區購物了”的意思。
譯文：因為我們不再到商業區去購物，白人的生意也許會受到損失。
4. but it must mean we’re winning.　
剖析：進行式are winning表示：1）講話時的充沛情感；2）該動作很快即將實現。
譯文：我們肯定會勝利的。
5. it was not until november 13,1956 that the us supreme court declared separation on buses was not constitutional.
剖析：it is(was)…that是強調句型。強調“人”，可以用who, 其余用that引導從句。比如：
mr wang told us a very interesting story.
it was mr.wang who/that told us a very interesting story. （強調mr wang）　
it was a very interesting story that mr. wang told us.　�。◤娬{a very interesting story）
強調句的疑問形式：
what was it that made you so happy?
how was it that he lost his temper?
6. today is a red letter day.　
剖析：日歷上“喜慶日”都是紅字印刷。
譯文：今天是值得慶賀的日子。
7. we may only have struck one small blow for liberty but who knows where it’ll lead?
剖析：may have done表示對過去動作的推測，“準是，肯定”。must have done也表示“對過去的肯定推測”，但語氣比前者強；
lead to 通向：hard working can lead us to success.努力可以使我們走向成功。
譯文：我們為了自由也許才進行了一次小小的斗爭，誰知這場斗爭會吧我們引向何方呢？
四、語法知識歸納梳理——動詞時態
英語有16種時態，初學者要掌握幾種常用的，以便進一步學習。
1、一般現在時態
1）表示現存的一般狀態、習慣、經常發生的事以及客觀事實。常常和sometimes, often, never，every day等副詞或短語連用。比如：
i’m german; i come from berlin.
i get up at seven o’clock every morning.
2）用來談論時刻表和日程安排。
when does the next train to cambridge leave?
it leaves at half past four.
真題：
1. visitors _______ not to touch the exhibits. (全國)
a. will request 　　b. request 　　c. are requesting 　　d. are requested.
解析：一般現在時態的被動語態。故選d。
2.---sorry, joe, i didn’t mean to…. (全國)
---don’t call me “joe”, i’m mr. parker to you, and ______ you forget it!
a. do 　　　b. didn’t 　　　c. did 　　　　d. don’t
解析：否定的祈使句表示“建議”，語氣較強。故選d。
3. no one in the department but tom and i _____ that the director is going to resign. (上海)
a. knows 　　b. know 　　c. have known 　　d. am to know 
解析：既考時態又考主謂一致。no one是主語部分的中心詞。故選a。
4.—you ‘re drinking too much. ( 春招)
