module 6 課本難點釋疑
一、 on a freezing cold winter day in january 1994, jiesang suonandajie found what he was looking for—a group of poachers who were killing the endangered tibetan antelopes.
a freezing cold winter day前必須用on,因為在具體或相對具體的一天及這一天的上午、下午或晚上前用介詞on。如:
on friday, on february 1, 1990, on a warm summer day, on the morning of june 1, 等。
二、 a shawl made from the wool ( known as “shahtoosh”, or “king of woods” in persian) can sell for five thousand dollars.
1) made from ... 相當于which was made from...。
be made from / of ... “由……制成”,from常指化學變化,即從表面看不出事物的原料。of則相反,常指物理變化,即從表面能看出事物的原料。如:
the furniture made of wood sells well.
changyu wine made from grapes are well received at home and abroad.
2) sell well賣得好; sell out 賣光; sell ... for 以……售出。如:
the double star shoes made in qingdao sell for 118 yuan each pair and they sell well.
三、 often working at night, the poachers shoot whole herds of antelopes at a time, leaving only the babies, whose wool is not worth so much.
shoot sb. / sth. “射殺某人 / 某物,用槍打死某人 / 某物”,一定射中了;shoot at sb. / sth. “朝某人 / 某物射擊”,不一定射中。如:
he shot at the birds on the tree, but he didn’t shoot one.
四、 meanwhile in those countries where the shawls are sold, police are getting tough with the dealers.
get / be tough with (= take severe measures) “采取強硬措施”。如:
the government should get tough with environment pollution.

【簡析】 worth 作動詞時意思是“值……”,后面需要接名詞或動名詞。接名詞時,名詞往往是表示錢數或相當于錢數的名詞,如price, money等,也可以接相當于“代價”的比喻性名詞;在接動名詞時,要用主動形式表示被動意義 (如1、2);另外,worth還可用作名詞,用在表示數量、持續時間等名詞的后面(如 3);worthy“值得”,后接不定式的被動結構或of + 名詞(如4);另外,worthy還可用作定語,表示“可欽的,高尚的”(如5);worthwhile“值得的”,表示值得花時間或經歷做某事,可作表語或定語(如6)。
