牛津高中英語(yǔ)模塊一Unit 3
5. she says health is priceless, and i agree, but then i look so slim at the moment.
她說(shuō)健康是無(wú)價(jià)的,我同意她的說(shuō)法,但是我現(xiàn)在看起來(lái)非常苗條。
后綴less加在名詞之后表示“沒(méi)有、缺乏”例如:hopeless, helpless, careless, homeless.注意, priceless和worthless, valueless的意思不同。price指價(jià)格,加less表示“無(wú)法估價(jià)的”;worth, value指價(jià)值,加less則表示“沒(méi)有價(jià)值的。
then和but連用,起到增強(qiáng)語(yǔ)氣的作用。
6. they contain a harmful chemical that caused my liver to fail.
那些藥里含有一種有害的化學(xué)成分,導(dǎo)致我肝功能衰竭。
7. i think you look great as you are.
我認(rèn)為你現(xiàn)在這樣保持自然本色看起來(lái)就很棒。
as you are是狀語(yǔ)從句意思是“以你本來(lái)的面目”
as作連詞的用法較復(fù)雜,可以表示“當(dāng)….時(shí)候、因?yàn)椤⒓热弧⑾啾取㈦m然,按照…做、象…一樣、當(dāng)做,還可以用來(lái)指代上文中提到的事情以避免重復(fù)。其中作“雖然、用來(lái)指代上文中提到的事情”兩種用法比較特殊,請(qǐng)看例句:
alone as he is, he does not feel lonely.
try as you would, you could not make him change his mind.
harry is unusually tall, as are his brothers.
8. remember to take it slowly at first and you will build your strength up quickly.
記住剛開(kāi)始鍛煉時(shí)要慢些,你的體力很快就會(huì)增強(qiáng)。
take 在這里意思是“從事…活動(dòng)”it 指代sport/exercise。
build up增強(qiáng)、增加,名詞build-up,例如:
the build-up of japanese forces makes the neighboring countries very uneasy.
9. some sports are usually done indoors, while others are done outdoors.
一些體育活動(dòng)通常是在室內(nèi)進(jìn)行的,另一些則是在室外。
indoor、outdoor是形容詞,只能作定語(yǔ)使用; indoors/outdoors是副詞,作地點(diǎn)狀語(yǔ)。例如:
it is an indoor sport.
we can play the game indoors.
【語(yǔ)法】
一、非限制性定語(yǔ)從句
1) 定語(yǔ)從句有限制性和非限制性兩種。限制性定語(yǔ)從句是先行詞不可缺少的部分,去掉它主句意思往往不明確;非限制性定語(yǔ)從句是先行詞的附加說(shuō)明,去掉了也不會(huì)影響主句的意思,它與主句之間通常用逗號(hào)分開(kāi),例如:
this is the house which we bought last month.這是我們上個(gè)月買的那幢房子。(限制性)
the house, which we bought last month, is very nice.這幢房子很漂亮,是我們上個(gè)月買的。(非限制性)
2) 當(dāng)先行詞是專有名詞或物主代詞和指示代詞所修飾時(shí),其后的定語(yǔ)從句通常是非限制性的,例如:
charles smith, who was my former teacher, retired last year. 查理•史密斯去年退休了,他曾經(jīng)是我的老師。
my house, which i bought last year, has got a lovely garden. 我去年買的的那幢房子帶著個(gè)漂亮的花園。
this novel, which i have read three times, is very touching. 這本小說(shuō)很動(dòng)人,我已經(jīng)讀了三遍。
3) 非限制性定語(yǔ)從句還能將整個(gè)主句作為先行詞, 對(duì)其進(jìn)行修飾, 這時(shí)從句謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞要用第三人稱單數(shù),例如:
he seems not to have grasped what i meant, which greatly upsets me. 他似乎沒(méi)抓住我的意思,這使我心煩。
