2018年高考英語復習筆記
4. soon he got talking to another person who happened to be american too. 沒多久他跟另外一個人攀談起來,這個人碰巧也是美國人。
注意get doing: what are we all waiting for? let's get moving! 動詞happen + 不定式表示“碰巧”: do you happen to know his new telephone number? 你可知道他的新電話號碼? i happened to be in the market yesterday when a fire started. 昨天發生火災時,我正好在市場上。
5. he had gone through six carriages when he found he could go no further. 他走過了六節車廂,這時他發現再也走不過去了。
掌握further的用法: he was too tired to walk any further. 他太累而無法走更遠。i have nothing further to say. 我沒有別的話要說了。you will get further information. 你會得到更詳盡的消息。
6. at that moment he remembered that all the tickets, passports and traveller's cheques were in his jacket that he had left hanging next to his seat.
從句that he had left hanging next to his seat是一個定語從句,修飾前面的先行詞jacket。關系代詞that在從句中用作賓語,hanging用作賓語補足語。如:she left the girl standing outside. 她讓女孩留下站在外邊。when we enter her room, we saw her clothes that she had left lying around.
7. they knew, or rather thought that their father was on the same train. 他們知道,或者說他們認為他們的父親還在同一列車上。
or rather"譯作“或者”。當我們想要糾正自己已經說過的話,或欲使說過的話更確切,常使用這一表達方式: he is a writer, or rather he is a novelist. 他是個作家,或者更確切地說是一個小說家。he went home very late last night, or rather, in the early hours this morning. 他是昨天深夜回家的, 或者更確切地說, 是今天凌晨。
8. at about three o’clock tina said, “i’m going to see what dad is up to …” 大約三點鐘的時候,蒂娜說,"我去看看爸爸在干什么…”
短語動詞be up to 作“在干(某事)”(to do something)解,有時含有“密謀干壞事”的意思。例如:what in the world are you up to? 你到底在搞什么鬼? go and see what those girls are up to. don’t trust him; he is up to his old tricks. 他又搞起他那些老把戲來了。
另外,up to 還可以表示“應由某人負責”,“是某人的職責”,常用于句型:it is/was up to sb. to do something 如:it’s up to you to decide whether to take the job or not. it’s up to us to give them all the help we can.
9. you are to go to the hotel where rooms have already been booked for you. 你們去旅館,房間已經給你們訂好了。
you are to go … 中包含了一個be to do的結構。這種結構常常表示計劃或安排做某事,相當于be going to… 如:the train for beijing is to start at 9:00. 去北京的火車9點開。當主語為第二人稱時,常表示轉述他人的指示、要求。如:your mother says you are to wait till he comes back. 你媽媽說讓你一直等他回來。當這種結構用于第三人稱時,表示命令或指示. 如:the door is to be closed. 門要關牢。
