高二英語Unit19 The Merchant of Venice知識點總復(fù)習(xí)教案
▲ go down on one's knees 跪下、屈膝
此短語中的go也可以用get替代.即get down on one's knees。如: ① never go down on one's knees before enemy.
在敵人面前決不能屈膝。② he went down on his knees and begged for mercy. 他跪地求饒。 ③ father went down on his hands and knees and let his son ride on his back. 父親趴在地上讓兒子騎在他背上。 ④ the young man went down on his hands and then stood on his bead against the wall. 這年輕人雙手著地，然后靠墻倒立。
【注】 go down on one's knees與get down on one's knees意思相同，但go down和get down意思不同。這一點請同學(xué)們務(wù)必注意go down作“下落”“減弱”解釋，而get down作“放下”“打下”解釋。如: ① on the third day, his fever went down. 到了第三天，他的燒退了。② the prices of computers are expected to go further down. 計算機的價格可望進一步下跌。③ the moon has gone down and it is dark around.月亮已經(jīng)西沉了，四下里黑漆漆的。④ at night the north wind went down and the river froze again. 晚上北風減弱，河里又結(jié)了冰。⑤ i couldn't get down what he said. 我沒能把他說的話都記錄下來。⑥ they got down two enemy aircrafts last night. 昨晚他們打下了兩架敵機。⑦ the medicine was so bitter that i couldn't get it down. 這藥太苦，我吃不下去。⑧ will you give me a hand to get this trunk down? 你幫我把這皮箱拿下來好嗎?
27. my money and goods are as dear to me as life itself.我的錢財對我就像生命一樣寶貴。(p. 71 integrating skills 倒數(shù)第5行) ▲ dear的幾種用法
(1) adj. 親愛的，可愛的 what a dear little child! 多么可愛的小孩。
(2) dear此處作“珍貴的”解釋。如: ① he lost everything that was dear to him. 他喪失了他所珍視的一切。② fame and power are very dear to him. 名譽和權(quán)力對他來說是非常珍貴的。③ to him very dear is the power by which he can control people and get money. 對他來說，權(quán)力是非常珍貴的，通過它可以支配人并得到錢財。
（3）dear可以作“(價格)昂貴的”“索價高的”解釋。如: ① it is too dear. 這價錢太貴了。② it you want to make money, you must buy cheap and sell dear. 如果你想賺錢，你必須便宜的買進昂貴的賣出。
【注】dear與expensive的異同點。dear與expensive都有“價格昂貴” 之意，都不能與price連用。例如我們不能說"the price of the motorcycle is too dear / expensive, 而只能說the motorcycle is too dear / expensive或the price of the motorcycle is too high. 因為修飾price的只能是high或low。以上講的是dear與expensive這兩個詞相同的地方。但這兩個詞也有不同的一面。dear所表示 的價格貴，是超乎常情的貴，講得通俗一點，是指某個商品價格很貴，但實際不值那么多錢，而expensive所表示的貴，有“物美價高非購買者財力所及”之意，舉例來說，如果一輛價值十萬元的車賣十萬元，就不能說dear，而只能說expensive；但如果一斤桔子通常賣一元，如賣一元五角，就應(yīng)該說dear。
