高一英語重點詞語用法(一)
②if anything happens to him, let me know. 如果他發生什么事,請通知我。
③i happened to meet him in the street yesterday. 我昨天碰巧在街上遇見他。
④it so happened that i had no money with me. 碰巧我身上沒帶錢。
8.every和表示數量的詞連用。
1)every可與表示數量的詞連用,表示時間或空間的間隔。如:
①every four years athletes from all over the world take part
in the olympic games. 每四年,來自世界各地的運動員參加奧林匹克運動會。
②i usually go to my uncle\'s every three days (=every third
day).
我通常每三天(每隔兩天)去我叔叔家一次。
③there\'s a bus stop every two miles. 每兩英里有個車站。
④they looked up and gave a smile to each other every few
minutes.
每隔幾分鐘他們抬起頭相互笑笑。
【注意】every后可接 few,但不能接 a few,因
every一詞已包含了a之意,如句④,另外every后也不能接some,several,many等詞。every后接序數詞時,則修飾單數可數名詞,如句②
2)every 可與other + 單數可數名詞連用,表示“每隔一……”。如:
①please write on every other line (third line).
請隔行寫。(請隔兩行寫一行。)
②they planted a tree every other metre along the road.
他們在馬路邊每隔一米栽一棵樹。
③the doctor comes to see my mother every other day.
醫生每隔一天來看我媽媽一次。
重要詞組短語
1.prefer…to…的含義
1)prefer a to b 意思上接近于like a better than
b,表示“喜歡……要勝過喜歡……”。在這一結構中,to為介詞,prefer和to后面可接名詞或動詞-
ing形式。
①i prefer science to languages. 我喜歡理科而不太喜歡文科。
②he prefers beer to coffee. 啤酒與咖啡相比,他更喜歡啤酒。
③he said he preferred the country life to the city life.
他說城市和農村相比,他更喜歡農村。
④even on holidays, he preferred doing
something to doing nothing. 即使在假日里,他也寧愿干點什么事,而不愿閑待著。
2)prefer 不接介詞 to短語而單獨使用時,相當于 like…very much。這時
prefer后面可接名同,代詞,不定式,動詞-ing形式等。例如:
①southerners prefer rice while northerners prefer food made
from flour. 南方人比較愛吃米飯,北方人比較愛吃面食。
②which would you prefer, tea or coffee?
茶和咖啡,你較喜歡哪一種?
③she preferred to work and live with the common people.
她喜歡工作生活在普通人中間。
④so you prefer staying with your children on holidays?
這么說,你在假日中寧愿與孩子們在一起了?
【注意】prefer在構成其-ed及-ing形式時,要雙寫詞尾字母 r,即:preferred,preferring
3)prefer還可與 rather than連用,這時 prefer和 rather
than后面一般接不定式,而不接動詞-ing形式,rather than后面的不定式符號 to可有可無。
如:
①she preferred to go with us rather than stay behind.
她寧愿和我們一道去,而不愿留下。
