Unit 8重点句子解析
1. I had a bowl of noodles, and I used chopsticks and a spoon instead of a fork and a knife.
短语instead of 意为“代替”,后接名词、代词、V-ing形式作介词宾语,这个短语在句中作状语,修饰前面的动词。如:
We stayed at home instead of going out to play. 我们呆在家里了,而没有出去玩。
2. But we do have lots of fun.
句中的助动词do起强调作用,后加动词原形;如果主语是单数第三人称单数,则用does加动词原形,如果强调过去时的动作则用did加上动词原形。如:
Danny does like Chinese food. 丹尼真的喜欢中国食品。
They did visit the museum yesterday. 他们昨天的确参观了博物馆。
3. Although sayings are usually simple and easy to remember, they are full of deep meaning.
句式“be + 形容词 + 不定式”表示“很……做某事”,短语be full of 与be filled with 同义,意为“充满、装满”。
These questions are hard to answer. 这些问题很难回答。
Her life is full of happiness. 她的生活充满快乐。
4. These sayings help people understand the world and form good habits, or encourage people to work hard.
句中的句式help sb. do sth. 意为“帮助某人做某事”,还可说help sb. to do sth.;句式 encourage sb. to do sth. 表示“鼓励某人做某事”,这里用不定式作宾语补足语。如:
Jenny often helps me (to) speak English. 詹妮经常帮助我讲英语。
Her father always encourages her to study hard. 她父亲总是鼓励她努力学习。
5. This is probably because North American manners and Chinese manners are so different.
句中的because North American ... 是表语从句,用在系词be后作表语,注意要使用陈述语序。如:
These are what they bought for me. 这些是他们给我买的东西。
6. In both China and North America, it is polite to offer an elderly person a seat on the bus.
both … and … 意为“……和……都”,这是等立连词,可以连接句中句子成分相同的词语,如果连接主语时,谓语动词要用复数形式。如:
Both Li Hong and Zhang Ping like this dress. 李红和张平都喜欢这件裙子。
句式offer somebody something 表示“给某人提供某物”。 如:
His company offer him a new house. 他的公司提供给他一套新房。
7. Now more than half of Canadians have British or French blood.
half of … 意为“一半的……”,后接名词,以这类短语作主语时,如果后面的名词是不可数名词,谓语动词用单数;如果后面的谓语动词是可数名词复数,谓语动词用复数。如:
Half of the water in this river is polluted. 这条河有一半的水被污染了。
8. It will be my first time visiting a Russian house.
句中的visiting a Russian house 是现在分词短语作定语,修饰前面的名词time,过去分词短语作定语时也要放在名词后。如:
I bought a book written by Mo Yan. 我买了一本莫言写的书。
9. I am so busy with Christmas these days.
句式be busy with sth. 意为“忙于某事”;类似句式be busy doing sth. 表示“忙于做某事”。 如:
Danny was busy with his homework all day long. = Danny was busy doing his homework all day long. 丹尼整天忙于做作业了。
10. I wish everyone here, especially Debbie, could learn some Chinese manners.
当wish 是一般现在时的时候,后面的宾语从句要使用一般过去时,这是虚拟语气,用来表达某种愿望。
We wish we could fly to the moon by spaceship. 我们希望能乘坐宇宙飞船飞向月球。
