UNIT 3 The Million Pound Bank-Note單元教案
a tiny bit不多;很少。課文中用的是譏諷語,意為“得破費些錢”。
12.well, we will have to take a chance.哦,我們要賭一把了。
take a/ the/ chance/ chances碰運氣;冒風險
e.g. we decided to take a chance on the weather and have the party outdoors.我們決定與老天爺賭一把,在戶外聚會。
e.g. we mustn’t take chances. we’d better play safe.我們不要冒險,我們最好求穩。
13. (in a rude manner) what’s there to wait for? (很不耐煩地)還等什么?
in a…manner以…的舉止(態度)
e.g. she talked to us in a very polite manner.她很有禮貌地與我們談話。
e.g. the dinner was prepared in the japanese manner.晚宴是日本式的。
14.the bank of england has issued two notes in this amount this year. anyway, it can’t be fake. 英格蘭銀行今年發行了兩張這樣面值的鈔票。不管怎樣,這不可能是假鈔。
can’t表示推測,表示“不可能是”。
e.g. he can’t be joking. he must mean it.他不可能是開玩笑,他是認真的。
e.g. it can’t be jim. i know him too well.不可能是吉姆,我太了解他了。
15. he is in rags! 他穿得破破爛爛的!
be in穿著;帶著
e.g. the girl in green is a good friend of mine. would you like to meet her? 穿綠衣的女孩是我的一個好朋友,你想認識一下嗎?

16.i wonder, mr. adams, if you’d mind us asking a few questions.亞當斯先生,不知你是否介意我們問幾個問題。
(1)i wonder whether (if) you…是表示委婉請求的句式,用于較為正式的場合。譯為:不知您是否…
(2)mind us asking a few questions為動名詞的復合結構在從句中做動詞 mind的賓語。“名詞的所有格/形容詞性物主代詞+doing”為動名詞(-ing形式)的復合結構,該結構在從句中能做主語,表語和賓語。
用作主語:sophia’s having seen them did not surprise us.索菲亞已經看見了他們,但這并不使我們感到驚訝。
用作表語:what worried the child most was his not being allowed to visit his mother in the hospital.使那孩子焦慮不安的是不準許他到醫院探望他的媽媽。
在現代英語中,動名詞復合結構用作賓語時,其名詞多數用普通形式,形容詞性物主代詞也多用代詞的賓格。mind us asking…就屬這種情況。再如:
i hate people being unhappy.我不愿意人們不高興。
please say nothing about us calling.請不要(對別人)說我們來拜訪的事。
17.and it was the ship that brought you to england.正是那艘船把你帶到了英國。
此句是個強調句型,其句型為it was+被強調部分+that+句子剩余部分。
e.g. it was in this room that lu xun once lived.這就是魯迅生前住過的房間。
e.g. was it because his mother was ill that he didn’t go to school? 他不來上學是因為他媽媽病了嗎?
e.g. when was it that the club was set up? 這個俱樂部的成立是在什么時候?
18.incredible (adj.)
(1) difficult to believe; amazing or fantastic難以置信的;不可思議的;驚人的;奇異的
