9. you need to pack warm clothes if you go there. 如果你去的話,得帶上暖和的衣服。(self check 1, 4)
⑴pack 作動詞,意為“把……打包,把……裝箱”。如:
i haven’t packed my things and clothes.我還沒有把衣服和東西裝箱。
⑵need to do sth 意為“需要去做某事”。need作及物動詞,意為“需要”,后常跟名詞、代詞、不定式或v-ing形式。如:
they certainly need your help.他們肯定需要你的幫助。
our farm needs helping in autumn.秋天我們農場需要有人幫忙。
【注意】最后一句的賓語雖是形式,但是含有被動的意思,意即“我們農場需要被人幫助”而不是“幫助別人”,此句可以用不定式的被動式來表示。即:our farm needs to be helped in autumn. 又如:
the vegetable garden needs watering.
= the vegetable garden needs to be watered. 菜園需要澆水。
⑶need 還可作情態動詞,常用于否定句或疑問句中。
you needn’t be so polite to him. 你沒有必要對他如此客氣。
—need we come? 我們必須來嗎?
—no, you needn’t. 不必了。

⑴句中in which修飾一個非限制性定語從句。引導非限制性定語從句的關系代詞只能用which,而本句句首有介詞,是因為從句中謂語是一個短語動詞,書面語中通常將其短語中的介詞置于從句句首,而口語中則把介詞放在后面。如:
we visited that factory, of which i was speaking many times.
我們參觀了那家工廠。我多次談到過那家工廠。
⑵across china 中的across指“在……處,遍及”。相當于all over。
the song is very popular across england. 這首歌在英國很流行。
六. 語法:
◎would like 的用法:
⑴ ’d是would的縮略形式,后面接名詞或代詞或帶to的動詞不定式,不接動詞原形。 例:
i’d like some bread. 我想要些面包。
i’d like to see a film with you tonight. 今晚我想跟你一起去看電影。
