Ⅱ.重點(diǎn)句型詳解

1.As Victor Hugo once said, “Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face”, and up_to_now_nobody has been able to do this better_than Charlie Chaplin. 維克多?雨果曾經(jīng)說過,“笑容如陽光,驅(qū)走人們臉上的冬天”。關(guān)于這一點(diǎn),直到今天也沒有人能比查理?卓別林做得更好。

(1)as在此引導(dǎo)定語從句,修飾后面整個(gè)句子,此時(shí),定語從句的位置比較靈活,可放在句首、句中或句末,譯為“正如,正像”。

①As all his friends agree, he was unusually warm-h(huán)earted, loving and generous.正如他所有的朋友都認(rèn)為的那樣,他非常熱心、可親、慷慨。

②I am as you can imagine short enough of money.正如你所想象的那樣,我很缺錢。

③He was a teacher, as was clear from his manner.正如根據(jù)他的舉止所斷定的,他是一位老師。

(2)up to now 意為“迄今;到現(xiàn)在為止”,是多用于現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)的時(shí)間狀語,??膳c until now, by now, so far 互換。

①Up to now, about 30 foreign companies have set up branches in this developing zone.到現(xiàn)在為止,已有大約30家外國公司在這個(gè)開發(fā)區(qū)設(shè)立了分公司。

②They have raised more than $1 000 000 for this project up to now/until now/so far.到目前為止,他們已經(jīng)為這個(gè)項(xiàng)目籌集到一百多萬美元了。

(3)...nobody has been able to do this better than Charlie Chaplin.當(dāng)形容詞或副詞的比較級出現(xiàn)在否定句中時(shí),往往不表示否定的意義而是表示充分的肯定。

—I think students should have more of their own time. Don‘t you think so?我認(rèn)為學(xué)生應(yīng)該有更多的屬于他們自己的時(shí)間。你不這么認(rèn)為嗎?

—I can’t agree more. (=I completely agree.)完全贊同。

[即境活用1]

—Shall I give you a ride as you live so far away?
—Thank you. ______.

A.It couldn‘t be better   B.Of course you can
C.If you like D.It's up to you

2.“Well, it certainly will be this morning,” the man said, “because I happen_to_be flying it!”“啊,那今天上午肯定要晚點(diǎn)了,”那人說,“因?yàn)榕銮晌乙{駛那班飛機(jī)!”

happen to do/be 碰巧

句型 Sb. happens to do sth.可以轉(zhuǎn)換成 It happens that sb. does sth.,但使用時(shí)要注意復(fù)合句中從句謂語的時(shí)態(tài)要與簡單句中的動詞不定式的形式相呼應(yīng)。

①When I went to see him, he happened to be away on holiday.
(=When I went to see him, it happened that he was away on holiday.)我去看他時(shí),他碰巧在外度假。

②Joseph came to borrow my skiing boards yesterday, but I happened to have lent them to my cousin last week.(=...but it happened that I lent them to my cousin last week.)約瑟夫昨天來借滑雪板,不巧的是我上星期借給我的表弟了。

[即境活用2] 

When the bridge fell down, several cars happened ______ on it.
A.to run B.running
C.to be running D.that they were running

答案:C

解析:句意:那座橋坍塌時(shí),正巧有好幾輛汽車正在上面行駛。happen to do 中不定式根據(jù)語境可選擇不同的形式。

3.The tramp, a poor and homeless man with a moustache, wore large trousers, worn-out shoes and a_small_round_black_hat. 這個(gè)流浪漢,一個(gè)留著小胡子的窮苦的無家可歸的人,穿著大褲子、破鞋子,頭頂著黑色的小圓帽。

a small round black hat 中的 hat前有三個(gè)形容詞做定語,在英語中多個(gè)形容詞修飾名詞時(shí)的順序是:限制詞(冠詞、物主代詞、指示代詞、不定代詞)+數(shù)詞(序數(shù)詞、基數(shù)詞)+描繪性形容詞(nice, good, interesting, beautiful...)+特征形容詞(大小、長短、高低、形狀、年齡、新舊)+顏色形容詞+國籍、出處+物質(zhì)、材料+用途、類別+中心名詞。我們可以用下面的一段順口溜來幫助記憶:
限定描繪大長高,形狀年齡和新老。
顏色國籍出材料,作用類別緊跟著。

①all these last few years?所有這些逝去的歲月

②some beautiful little red flowers?一些美麗的小紅花

③the first beautiful white Chinese military jeep第一輛漂亮的白色中國軍用吉普車

[即境活用3] 

—Is it Jim who is driving the new car?
