教材精析
1. What should I get my mom for her birthday?我该为母亲的生日买点什么礼物呢?
(1)should是情态动词,后接原形动词作谓语。should可用来表示主观看法,或一种建议、劝说或表示义务、责任,should 用于各种人称。意为“应该”。例如:
You should brush your teeth before you go to bed. 你在睡前应该刷牙。
I suggested that he should go.我建议他去。
2.They will pay for a park bench or a tree to help remember a person.他们会买下公园里的长凳或一棵树来纪念一个人。
pay for…意为“负担……的费用、付款……”。例如:
I paid ten dollars for the book.我花了10元钱买那本书。
I paid him 100 yuan for the new bike.我付给他一百元买下了这辆新自行车。
试比较:I paid 10 yuan for the book.我花十元钱买这本书。
=I spent 10 yuan on the book.
=The book cost me 10 yuan.
注意:pay,spend和cost的主语及介词搭配。
3.In the USA, some people ask their families and friends to give money to
charity rather than buying them gifts.在美国,一些人请求他们的家人和朋友把钱捐给慈善机构而不是给他们买礼物。
(1)give money to意为“把钱捐给……”。例如:
Many students gave their pocket money to the poor orphan.
许多学生把他们的零花钱捐给了这个可怜的孤儿。
(2)rather than意为“而不是……”,常用于平行结构中。例如:
I’d call her hair
chestnut rather than brown.
我宁愿说她的头发是栗色,而不是棕色。
I
decided to write rather than(to) telephone.我决定写信而不打电话。
在这句中可用两个不定式,也可用动名词放在than之后。即I
decided to write rather than telephoning.上面句中就是用to give…与buying them gifts作对照的。
4.Instead, making a meal is enough.相反,做顿饭吃就够了。
(1)instead是副词,意为“代替、反而”。可单独位于句首或句尾。例如:
He is tired, Let me go instead.他累了,让我替他去吧。
She never studies.Instead,she plays
tennis all day.
她从不学习,而是整天打网球。
instead of是介词,意义与instead一样,但用在代词、名词或介词短语之前。例如:
He’11 go to Italy instead of France.他要去意大利而不去法国。
You should be out playing instead of
working in doors all day.
你应该到外边去活动活动,而不要整天呆在屋子里工作。
(2)making a meal是动名词短语作主语。当一个动名词、动词不定式或从旬作主语时,谓语总用单数。例如:Seeing is believing.= T0 see is to believe.眼见为实。
5.动词get的相关用法:
(1)get和have连用,构成have/has got,意为:有。例如:
They have got the new volleyballs.他们有那种新排球。
We’ve got nothing to retell.我们无事要重复。
(2)get用作及物动词,意为:送给;交;得到;获得,买到;收到;赢得,理解,懂,到;抵达。例如:
We got a piece of interesting news. 我们得到了一个有趣的消息。
They all got letters from thek classmates. 他们都收到他们的同学来信。
Please get me 80me water!请给我拿些水来!
When he got home,it was already dark. 他到家时,天已黑了。
Did he get to the factory at a quarter to nine? 他八点三刻到工厂的吗?
注意:表示“到达(某地)”时,在get后接副词时(如:here/there/home等),其后不能接介词to;如接名词作宾语时,则应在get后接介词to,构成;get to+(表示地点的)名词。
(3)get还可以用作连系动词,意为:变得,成为;后面接形容词作表语。例如:
The days are getting longer and longer.白天变得越来越长了。
When she saw her daughter,the young woman got so pleased.
看到她女儿时,这位年轻妇女变得如此的高兴。
(4)常用短语:
get back取回;拿回;get down下来;get on上(车,船等);
get 0ff下(车,船等);get out出来;get into进入,进去;
get up起来;get to到达;
6.Some ofthese singers were able to sing English songs just as well as native speakers.他们当中有些人能够唱得与说英语的人唱的一样好。
(1)be able to也表示“能,会”与不定式连用,但be able to后,只能接肯定的不定式,同时不可用无生命名词作主语。Are you able to come tomorrow?明天你能来吗? 。
(2)辨析:can和be able to
①can可用于人或其他事物作主语的句子,be able to只用于有生命名词作主语的句子。
②带can的主动式结构的句子可变成被动式结构,但带be able to的主动式结构的句子不可变成被动式结构的句子。
③can只有一般现在时和一般过去时(could)两种形式,而be able to除一般现在时、过去时外,还可有将来时、完成时,甚至可用作非谓语动词短语。
Tom has been able to drive. 汤姆已经会开车了。
④表示经过努力,花费了时间和劳力才能做到某事时,在肯定句和一般疑问句中只能用was/were able to,不用could,但在否定句中两者却可相互替用。can和be able to都没有进行时,在be able to前可加除can外的情态动词。
You might be able tO
persuade him. 你可能能说服他。
He seemed able to finish
