haveplacetosettle點(diǎn)評：表達(dá)不準(zhǔn)確,canhardly

haveaplacetosettle是指找不到可以棲身的地方,但原句子表達(dá)的是抽象意義上的"容身之地”,不能根據(jù)字面意思直譯.

Q：thenitishardlytheidealpreparationforadultlife中hardly是什么用法?它平常是作副詞用,這里后面跟的是名詞.A：hardly在這里修飾的是is,而不是后面的名詞theidealpreparation,類似的例子還有Dadatehardly

anything.爸爸幾乎沒吃什么東西.

Q：sportsfield可數(shù),前面應(yīng)該有冠詞?A：這里是因?yàn)榍懊嬗衖ntheclassroom而省略了冠詞the,還原后是whetheritbeintheclassroom,(in

the)sportsfieldorelsewhere

Q：老師struggletodealwithsetbacks不是表積極意義努力去面對挫折嗎?A：struggle是一個(gè)中性詞,用在這里沒問題.

Ifchildrenarealwaysshieldedfromthefeelingof

failure,whetheritbeintheclassroom,sportsfieldorelsewhere,thenit

ishardlytheidealpreparationforadultlife.

[分析]本句是一個(gè)主系表結(jié)構(gòu),其主干為itis

hardlytheidealpreparationforadultlife.Then之前的部分是一個(gè)由If引導(dǎo)的條件狀語從句,這個(gè)條件狀語從句是一個(gè)被動句,其主干為children

arealwaysshieldedfromthefeelingoffailure,其后是whether引導(dǎo)的讓步狀語從句.需要注意這里whetheritbe的用法,它采用了現(xiàn)在時(shí)虛擬語氣(即不論什么人稱,都使用了動詞的原形),這種情況只出現(xiàn)在正式的語體中.例如：Afterall,alllivingcreatureslivebyfeedingonsomethingelse,

whetheritbeplantoranimal,deadoralive.(畢竟,一切活著的動物都是靠吃別的東西來生存的,不管這種東西是植物還是動物,是死的還是活的.)

3.通曉歷史對于任何想認(rèn)識世界的人來說都非常有必要,而且通曉歷史還有助于創(chuàng)造一個(gè)見多識廣且擁有全球意識的人口.很少有科目能有這么廣闊的影響.Agoodunderstandingof(1.通曉)historyisessentialforanyonewishingtounderstandtheworldaroundthemanditcanhelpcreateapopulacethatismore

替換表達(dá)：knowledgeable

學(xué)生錯(cuò)誤表達(dá)：(1)

know-all點(diǎn)評：know-all是一個(gè)貶義詞,含義是"自以為無所不知的人(someonewhobehavesasiftheyknoweverything–usedtoshow

disapproval)”,用在這里不合適.(2)
