高三英语复习笔记 Unit 3 Grade 1
Language tiphave some difficulty in doing sth. 表示“做某事有困难”,difficulty在这个结构中是不可数名词,in有时可以省略。如:Do you have any difficulty (in) understanding his spoken English? 你听懂他的英语口语有困难吗?做某事毫无困难,可用have no/little difficulty in doing sth 如:I had no difficulty (in) translating the novel. 我翻译那本小说一点困难也没有。Difficulty也可以指具体的难事、困境(可数),比如:He met with a lot of difficulties.他碰到很多困难。
When do you take your next exams?动词一般现在时可表示按计划或安排将要发生的动作,仅限于少数动词,如begin, get, leave, take, start, go等,如:When does the summer holidays begin? 暑假什么时候开始?The plane takes off at 6:30 P.M. 飞机下午六点三十分起飞。What time does the train leave for Shanghai? 开往上海的列车几点钟开车?
Pardon? 或Beg pardon? 或I beg your pardon? 这三句都表示“请再说一遍”的意思,但注意它们都要使用升调。I beg your pardon. 用降调,意思是“请原谅、请宽恕”。又:Please pardon me for not arriving sooner.
know 是及物动词,后跟名词或代词,意思是直接知道或了解人和物;know about/of 的意思则是间接了解或听说某人和某物。比较:I have known him for a long time. 我已经认识他多年了。I have known about/of him for a long time. 我早就听说过他的事。
more or less 意思是“或多或少”、“大体上”、“左右”,用于说话者的意见不那么肯定的情况下。It's an hour's journey, more or less. 大约一小时的路程。Our working condition has more or less improved. 我们的工作条件多少有了一些改善。
however 作副词表示转折,意为“然而,但是”,可放在句中、句首或句末,而且必须用逗号与句子分开,不能直接引导句子。but 和while也是表示转折的词,但这两个词都是连词,用于连接并列分句,but的语气较强烈,while强调两者的对比关系。例如:Later, however, he decided to go. 可是后来他决定去了。Jim is bad at physics, but he passed the exam. 吉姆物理不好,但是他居然及格了。I like tea while she prefers coffee. 我喜欢喝茶,然而她却喜欢喝咖啡。
come about意思是“发生”、“造成”,相当于happen和take place,没有被动语态。如:How did this accident come about? 这个事故是怎么发生的呢? Sometimes it is hard to tell how a quarrel comes about. 有时候很难说口角是怎样引起的。
At first, the language stayed the same句中的stay是连系动词,意为“保持(处于)某种状态”,相当于keep, remain, 通常后面跟形容词作表语。比如: She isn't married. She stays single. 她至今未婚,保持单身。The shop stayed open till six o'clock. 这家商店一直营业到六点。They don’t stay long in the same place. 本句中stay是不及物动词,long是副词。
the same as… 和……一样,如:He looks the same as before. 他看上去和以前一样。Please meet me at the same place as you did yesterday. 请到你昨天见我的地方来见我。与其对应的词组是 different from…, 和……不同。如:City life is very different from country life. 都市生活和乡村生活是非常不同的。My opinion is different from yours. 我的意见和你的不相同。
just as后跟一个表示方式的状语从句,作“正如”、“恰似”解。例如:She loved painting just as her mother did. 她喜爱画画,正象她妈妈过去喜欢画画一样。Leave everything just as you found it. 让一切东西都保持原状吧。
a great many “许多”,也可以说a good many, 修饰可数名词,谓语动词用复数形式。如:I'm quite busy. I have a great many things to do. 我很忙,我有许多事要做。A great many of them are out of work. 他们中的许多人失业。
and so on 表示“等等”,一般都放在句末,如:They are interested in art and music and so on.
American English has changed over the centuries, too. 几个世纪以来,美国英语也发生了变化。介词over在这里是表示时间的介词,意思是“在…期间”或“直到…过完”。如:I have read lots of English stories over the years.在这几年期间我读了许多英国小说。
reason表示“理由,原因”,后面可接介词for, 也可接why引导的从句,例如:Do you know the reason for his anger? 你知道他生气的原因吗?(=Do you know the reason why he is angry?)注意句型One of the reasons is that… 这儿的that引导表语从句,that通常不能省略,如:The reason why I was late for class was that I got up late. 我上学迟到的原因是因为我起床晚了。这里千万不要用because来引导表语从句!
bring in 意思是“带进来”,引申义为“引进”、“赚得”、“有收入”等。例如:They brought in new technology from abroad. 他们引进了国外的新技术。They brought the experienced people in to help. 他们请来有经验的人帮忙。
explain:make sth clear; show the meaning of“解释;说明” I really don't know how to explain it properly. / 对:Please explain this sentence to me. 错:Please explain me this sentence.
