课文重难点解析( Lesson One & Lesson Two )
1. Then I get up, go downstairs and switch on the TV in the living room. 然后,我就起床,下楼,打开客厅里的电视。
1). 本句中get up, go downstairs 和 switch on the TV 为并列谓语。
2). go downstairs意为“下楼”。downstairs在这里是一个副词,其前不用介词,因而不可说go to downstairs。类似的还有:go upstairs/home/back/there/abroad/out 等。
2.In the afternoon I often watch another old film—they’re showing some good ones at the moment. 下午,我常常看另一部电影----目前,他们正在播放一些不错的电影。
1). 本句中的ones替代前面的可数名词films。one常用来替代前面出现的可数名词,其复数形式则是ones。如:We are the only ones who can save him.我们是唯一能救他的人。
2). at the moment意为“at the present time, now(现在, 此刻)”。如:
I’m rather busy at the moment. 我现在很忙。
3.I couldn’t live this lifestyle without a good wife.没有一位好妻子,我是不可能过上这样的生活的。
1). 本句中not (never/ no/hardly)…without… 是一种双重否定结构。如:
No one can come in without his permission.没有他的许可,任何人都不可进入。
2). live 意为“过(生活),度过”, 是及物动词。如:
live a happy life 过着幸福的生活
live the rest of his life in Beijing 在北京度过余生
4. It takes me less than fifteen minutes to wash, get changed, have breakfast, leave home and get on a bus. 我洗漱好、换上衣服、吃早餐、离开家上车总共用不到十五分钟的时间。
1). It take (sb) time to do sth是一个常用的句型,意为“花(某人)多少时间做某事”。It用作形式主语,真正的主语是to do sth。如:
It took the police two weeks to return everything to normal.警察花了两周的时间才使一切恢复正常。
2). get changed也是一种被动结构,常常表示一个动作。如果表示状态,则要用be+过去分词构成的被动结构。又如:
I get paid twice a month. 我一个月领两次工资。
类似的还有: get started/ killed/ punished/ dressed/ married/ bored
5. Meetings and appointments take up a large part of the day. 会议和约会占据了一天中大部分的时间。
take up常用来表示占用时间或空间。又如:
New industries have taken up too much of the farmland.新兴工业占有了太多的农田。
His time is fully taken up with writing.
He dropped medicine and took up physics.
Take up arms to defend the freedom.
6. Besides I get bored if there’s nothing to do and I like being busy and being challenged. 此外,如果没有事情做我会感到烦燥的。我喜欢忙忙碌碌,喜欢挑战。
1). besides=also, what’s more, in addition, 用作副词,意为“此外”。
This shirt is too small for me. Besides, it’s rather expensive. 这件衬衣我穿太小。另外,有点贵。
2). being busy和being challenged是两个并列结构,在句中一起作动词like的宾语。being challenged是动词-ing形式的被动式,在这里表示被动意义。如:
I hate being laughed at. 我不喜欢被人嘲笑。
7. I find painting or drawing very relaxing. (我发现绘画很放松。)
1)这句的句型是: find+宾语+宾补(形容词、过去分词、-ing形式、不定式to be、名词)。2).relaxing 和relaxed都是由动词relax 转变为形容词的,这类-ing一般都有“令人……的”之意, 而-ed则多有“感到……的”之意。类似的动词还有:bore /tire /interest / excite/ worry/ surprise/ disappoint/ shock /astonish/ please等。
8. I really love playing the piano, but I can’t stand singing in front of the class.
1). play the piano意为“弹钢琴”,这个短语中的定冠词不可省掉。在表示乐器的名词前一定要加上定冠词。
2).stand除了表示“站立”的意思外,还可表示“容忍、忍受”。其后通常接动词的-ing形式或名词、代词作其宾语。注意,这时,通常情况下,它要用在否定句中。如:I can’t stand waiting any longer (再等下去,我可忍受不了。)
