2018年高考英語復習筆記
pardon? 或beg pardon? 或i beg your pardon? 這三句都表示“請再說一遍”的意思,但注意它們都要使用升調。i beg your pardon. 用降調,意思是“請原諒、請寬恕”。又:please pardon me for not arriving sooner. ★
know 是及物動詞,后跟名詞或代詞,意思是直接知道或了解人和物;know about/of 的意思則是間接了解或聽說某人和某物。比較:i have known him for a long time. 我已經認識他多年了。i have known about/of him for a long time. 我早就聽說過他的事。
more or less 意思是“或多或少”、“大體上”、“左右”,用于說話者的意見不那么肯定的情況下。it's an hour's journey, more or less. 大約一小時的路程。our working condition has more or less improved. 我們的工作條件多少有了一些改善。
however 作副詞表示轉折,意為“然而,但是”,可放在句中、句首或句末,而且必須用逗號與句子分開,不能直接引導句子。but 和while也是表示轉折的詞,但這兩個詞都是連詞,用于連接并列分句,but的語氣較強烈,while強調兩者的對比關系。例如:later, however, he decided to go. 可是后來他決定去了。jim is bad at physics, but he passed the exam. 吉姆物理不好,但是他居然及格了。i like tea while she prefers coffee. 我喜歡喝茶,然而她卻喜歡喝咖啡。★
come about意思是“發生”、“造成”,相當于happen和take place,沒有被動語態。如:how did this accident come about? 這個事故是怎么發生的呢? sometimes it is hard to tell how a quarrel comes about. 有時候很難說口角是怎樣引起的。
at first, the language stayed the same句中的stay是連系動詞,意為“保持(處于)某種狀態”,相當于keep, remain, 通常后面跟形容詞作表語。比如: she isn't married. she stays single. 她至今未婚,保持單身。the shop stayed open till six o'clock. 這家商店一直營業到六點。they don’t stay long in the same place. 本句中stay是不及物動詞,long是副詞。
the same as… 和……一樣,如:he looks the same as before. 他看上去和以前一樣。please meet me at the same place as you did yesterday. 請到你昨天見我的地方來見我。與其對應的詞組是 different from…, 和……不同。如:city life is very different from country life. 都市生活和鄉村生活是非常不同的。my opinion is different from yours. 我的意見和你的不相同。★
just as后跟一個表示方式的狀語從句,作“正如”、“恰似”解。例如:she loved painting just as her mother did. 她喜愛畫畫,正象她媽媽過去喜歡畫畫一樣。leave everything just as you found it. 讓一切東西都保持原狀吧。
a great many “許多”,也可以說a good many, 修飾可數名詞,謂語動詞用復數形式。如:i'm quite busy. i have a great many things to do. 我很忙,我有許多事要做。a great many of them are out of work. 他們中的許多人失業。 ★
and so on 表示“等等”,一般都放在句末,如:they are interested in art and music and so on.
