Unit 2 King Lear
剖析:either指“法國國王和勃艮第公爵”兩人中的任何一個(either of them)。bring to“帶來”的意思;不定式短語to bring to the marriage是修飾riches的定語。
譯文:我們要看看,她沒有分毫的嫁妝,誰會做她的新郎?
真題:
1.—there’s coffee and tea; you can have ______ . (全國)
—thanks.
a. either b. each c. one d. it
解析:either是代詞,只兩者中的任何一個。故選a。
2.i invited joe and linda to dinner, but _____ of them came. (北京)
a. neither b. either c. none d. both
解析:理由同上。故選a。
6. it’s as though the whole world has gone to sleep.
剖析: as though等于as if,引導表語從句。有時候從句要用虛擬語氣。比如:
he fought as if his life were in danger.他掙扎著就好像有生命危險似的。
it seemed as though the night would never end.夜晚好像永無止盡。
譯文:好像整個世界都睡著了。
7. and unless you want me to get rid of the rest of them too, i suggest you teach them how to behave properly.
剖析:1)unless等于if (…) not,“除非”意思,引導條件狀語從句。比如:
i will leave at 9 o’clock, unless you want to go earlier.我將9點鐘出發,除非你想早一些走。
don’t leave here unless instructed to.未得到指示不得離開!

2)get rid of…意思是:擺脫、去掉、除去。比如:
he can’t get rid of the cold.他感冒老是不好。
3)you teach them how to behave properly是suggest的賓語從句、虛擬語氣。suggest作為“建議”解釋,其賓語從句用虛擬語氣。比如:the doctor suggested kent (should) be given an operation on right away.大夫建議應該立即給肯特動手術。the manager suggested that the meeting be brought to an end.經理建議結束會議。但是,作“表明、暗示”解釋,其賓語從句不用虛擬語氣。比如:her expression suggested that she was angry.她的表情表明她很生氣。
譯文:你若不想讓我把剩下的士兵也趕走的話,我建議你還是教教他們怎樣守規矩。
