備戰2020中考英語總復習資料
little與small是近義詞,在作定語時常常可以互換,如: a little girl或a small girl,但little一般不作表語,如: the car over there is small. 一句中不要用little. 作定語時little常常帶有感情色彩,而small則帶有對比的含義。
live
[誤] tom lives with his parents' money.
[正] tom lives on his parents' money.
[誤] he lives on teaching.
[正] he lives by teaching.
[析] "靠吃某物為生"應用live on something, 而live by是"靠某種生活手段為生"。
living alive
living側重于生活得很好,身體不錯,如: my grandfather is still living in his eighties. 而alive則強調沒有死而是活著的,如: is that cat alive or dead?
lonely
[誤] she wanted to do her homework lonely.
[正] she wanted to do her homework alone.
[析] lonely意為"寂寞的"、"孤單的",如: the old man felt lonely. alone則意為"獨自的"、"單獨的",如: he lives alone but he doesn't feel lonely.
long
[誤] i have been studying long for the exam.
[正] i have been studying for a long time for the exam.
[析] long用作表達時間的副詞時,在否定句及疑問句中最常用,但在肯定句中除與so, too, as…as連用外,一般要用for a long time.
[誤] i'll call you as long as the book will be returned.
[正] i'll call you as long as the book is returned.
[析] as…as引導的狀語從句中可以用一般現在時表示將來。
[誤] how long do you go to see your parents? once a week.
[正] how often do you go to see your parents? once a week.
[析] 因為答語為每周一次所以問的是頻率,要用how often.
look
look for find
look for 側重于 "尋找"這個動作,如: what are you looking for? 而find則側重于結果,如: it is very difficult to find a job. 這里不能用look for,因為真正困難的是"找到"工作。
其他用法還有:
[例] he often looks back on his highschool days.
[析] look back on something 為"回顧"、"回想"。
[例] i wish you wouldn't look down on (upon) the children's work.
[析] look down on (upon) 為"看不起"某人或某事。
[誤] i'm looking forward to see you.
[正] i'm looking forward to seeing you.
[析] look forward to詞組中的to是介詞,所以其后要加名詞或動名詞,不能接不定式。
lot
[誤] i can buy this dictionary now, because i have got much money.
[正] i can buy this dictionary now because i have got a lot of money.
[析] much money多用于疑問句與否定句中,而在肯定句中要用a lot of.lots of與a lot of之間無多大區別,兩者都可以修飾可數與不可數名詞,所以常常可以互換。
[誤] he is more happier now.
[正] he is a lot happier now.
[析] 不可用more來修飾比較級,能修飾比較級的詞有very much, a lot, lots, any, no, rather, a little, a bit等。
