初一至初三全程英語知識點總結及練習1
① the whole city was burning.但不能說:
② whole london was burning.
ⅳ.whole 和 all 與復數名詞連用時意思不同。whole 的意思為“全部”,而all的意思則近乎“每一個”如:
① all indian tribes([traib]部首 ) suffered from white settlement in america. 所有印第安人部首都因白人移民美洲而遭殃。
② whole indian tribes were killed off. 有些印第安人部落整個被殺光了。
ⅴ. whole 一般不用來修飾不可數名詞(包括物質名詞)
① 可以說:all the money 或all the wine
② 不可以說:the whole money 或the whole wine.
③ the whole of = whole 與單數名詞連用。它用于冠詞、所有格之前。
the whole of the time.
the whole of my life
the whole of this confusion
§22 allow/ permit/ let/ promise
ⅰ. allow“允許、許可”,一般指聽任,或默許某人去做什么,含有消極地不反對的意味。如:
① we allowed him to depart.我們允許他離去。
② who allowed you to leave the camp?誰允許你離開營地的?
③ i can’t allow you to do that.我不能允許你做那件事。
allow 也可表客氣的請求。如
① will you allow me to use your pen?我可以用你的鋼筆嗎?
ⅱ. permit “允許、許可”但是正式地許可,含有比較積極地同意某人去做什么的意味。如:
① i will permit him to do so. 我準備同意他這樣做。
② the sentinel permitted the strangers to pass when they had given the countersign.當這群陌生人說出口令后,哨兵就允許他們通過了。
[注]:allow 與 permit 的涵義雖有差別,但在語言實踐中,它們常常被通用著。如:
① smoking is not allowed here.此處禁止吸煙。
② smoking is not permitted in this theatre. 本戲院里禁止吸煙
ⅲ. let.“允許、讓”它可以指積極地允許,但更多的是著重指不予反對和阻止其后所跟的賓語要接不帶to 的不定式用以表示客氣的請求時,可與allow通用。且更具有口語色彩。如:
① her father will not let her go.她父親不會讓她去。
② don’t let this happen again. 不要讓這種事發生了。
③ please let me know what happens.請告訴我發生些什么事。
ⅳ. promise “答應” “允諾”。與以上三個詞的意義不同,用于主體答應自己要作什么的場合。如:
① he promised to begin at once.他答應立刻開始。
② i promised (him) to attend to the matter promptly. 我答應(他)立即處理這件事。
③ they promised an immediate reply.他們答應立即答復。
§23 almost/ nearly
ⅰ. almost“差不多、幾乎”有very, nearly 的意思。如:
① he has almost finished his work. 他差不多完成了他的工作。
② almost no one took any rest. 幾乎沒有一個人休息一下。
ⅱ. nearly “差不多、幾乎、將近”指一差距一般比almost 大。如:
① it’s nearly five o’clock.差不多五點鐘了。
② nearly everyone knows it. 幾乎每個人都知道這個。
