三、【課文精析】

quitetolerant

我們在運用形容詞、動詞時，往往需要用副詞來強調(diào)。

表示“真正的"really

areallyofficiousperson

強調(diào)“特別，尤其是"particularly

強調(diào)“絕對的"absolutely

強調(diào)“完全的,徹底的"completely,entirely,fully,thoroughly

fairly?—一強調(diào)“一般般”

very-一—語氣程度強烈“非?！?/p>

rather----語意程度接近fairly,注意修飾形容詞和副詞，特別是形容詞同時修飾名詞時，不定

冠詞的位置。

Afairlygoodbook.

Arathergoodbook/Ratheragoodbook

rathertoo

quite-------right/wrong/mistaken/sure絕對不能用very替代。

Evenreallyhonestpeople...

aparticularlyofficiousyoungCustomsOfficer...

theGreenChannel=theCustomOffice

aremadetofeelguilty

madk,have,let及感官性動詞see,hear,notice,feel用于主動語態(tài)，符合賓語不定式的

t。符號應該省略。但這種結構改成被動式時，不定式符號必須還原。

Weheardsomeonecomeupthestairs.

Someonewasheardtocomeupthestairs.

(Ontheonehand..,)ontheotherhand

Ontheonehandwecouldstayandhelpyou,butontheotherhanditmightbe

betterifyouwenttohelphiminstead.

hiddeninhissuitcase

過去分詞短語作定語，修飾watches.

evenif/thoughhehasfivehundredgoldwatcheshiddeninhissuitcase.

lookingmeintheeye:兩眼直盯盯的注視著我

looksb.intheface,staresb.intheeye=lookdirectlyatsb.

Notoneofthemendaredlookhimintheeye.

TheOfficerwentthroughthecasewithgreatcare.=TheOfficerexaminedthecase

carefully.

withgreatcare——強調(diào)相當?shù)淖屑?/p>

inamess:亂作一團

介詞in和名詞搭配，表示一種狀態(tài)

秩序井然：ingoodorder

身體健康：ingoodhealth

心情好：inagoodmood

脾氣好：inagoodtemper

lightup:喜氣洋洋，容光煥發(fā)

Eg:Masha'sfacelitupwhenshesawheroldfriend.

Hisfacelightedupatthesmalltriumph.

Tomreallylightedupwhenhesawthenewbiccycle.

light有兩種過去分詞,過去式形式：lit,lighted

但是如果運用過去分詞作定語，表示被點燃的。要用lighted

一只被點燃的雪茄：alightedcigar

點燃的火炬:alightedstick.

介詞短語一一withdelight“欣喜若狂的”

with和抽象名詞搭配，表示內(nèi)心充滿了一種感情

自信地：withconfidence

細心地：withcare

驕傲的：withpride

欣喜若狂的：withdelight

驚訝的：withsurprise

pounceon:向..猛撲過去，對…大做文章

Eg:Thepolicemanpouncedonthethief.

Don'tpounceonmymistake.

shouldhave和過去分詞搭配，表示本應該做某事卻沒有做，具有譴責性的味道。

Youshouldhavearrivedherefiveminutesearlier.

Youshouldhavetoldmeaboutit.

本不應該做某事：shouldn*thavedone

exempt:免除的，被免除的be~from

Drinksarenotexemptfromimportduty.

as-—一關系代詞，引導非限制性定語從句。他所指代的內(nèi)容就是主句的整個句子的含義。

Asweknow,theearthisround.（眾所周知）

AsBrianpointedout,…（正如..所指出的）

正如我很快得知的：assb.mentioned

關系代詞as和which的區(qū)別:

as所引導的非限制性定語從句，可用在主句之前

which引導的非限制性定語從句，只能用在主句之后。

副詞形式：encouragingly

Hewasgreetedbyanunpleasantsmell...

greet:問候，向.?致意；覺察到，呈現(xiàn)在.?眼前，在..耳邊

Iwokeupandwasgreetedbyabird'ssong.

Insidetheroomadreadfulmessgreetedus.

Whenhewentintothekitchen,asmellgreetedhim.
