1. What about reading aloud to practice pronunciation?(P3) 大声朗读来练习发音如何呢?

[难点释疑]“What/How about?”后面可跟名词、代词、动名词等,用于提出建议、征询意见等,常译作“……怎么样?/……好吗?”。该句式等于“What do you think about...?”。如: ―Mum, I’m hungry.(妈妈,我饿了。) ―What about going to McDonald’s to eat fried chicken?(咱们到McDonald店吃油炸鸡好吗?) ―It’s Sunday tomorrow.

2. It’s too hard to understand the voices.(P3)听懂其发音是很难的。

[难点释疑]“It’s +名词或形容词+动词不定式(短语)”是一个很重要的句式。其中It是形式主语,真正的主语是后面的动词不定式(短语)。本句也可转换为:To understand the voices is too hard(for us). 另外,it在句中还可以用作形式宾语等。如:All of us found it difficult to work out the maths problem.(我们所有人都发现要算出那道数学题很难。)注意不要将其与“主语+ be + too + 形容词+to do(……太……而不能……)”的句式相混淆。如:Be careful! The tea is too hot to drink.(小心!茶太热不能喝。)

5. Sometimes, however, he finds watching movies frustrating because the people speak too quickly.(P4) 然而,有时他觉得看电影很失望,因为里面的人物说话太快。

[难点释疑](1) 英语中的sometime, some time, sometimes及some times的用法不同:sometime用作副词,表示“某一时候”、“有朝一日”。常指将来或过去的一个不确定的时间; some time 用作名词词组,指“一段时间”,用作副词词组,意思是“来日”、“改日”,指将来某个未定时间时,可与sometime通用; sometimes 是个频度副词,意为“有时”,表示动作发生的不经常性,用于现在时态或过去时态; some times用作副词性词组,意为“有几次”、“有几回”。请比较:I remembered seeing her sometime last year.(我记得曾在去年见过她。) I’d like to see you some time(sometime) next month.(我想下月某个时候来见你。) Sometimes he comes here to help me.(他有时过来帮助我。) She has been to Shanghai some times.(她曾去过上海几次。) (2) watching movies在句中用作宾语, frustrating用作宾语补足语。 because引导的是一个原因状语从句。

[难点释疑](1) 句中that引导的是宾语从句,而宾语从句中又含有一个由even though引导的让步状语从句和“I do”充当的修饰everything的定语从句。值得注意的是:在含有宾语从句的主从复合句中,如果主句的谓语动词用一般现在时,宾语从句的谓语动词可以根据需要使用任何时态;如果主句的谓语动词用一般过去时,宾语从句的谓语动词一般情况下应使用过去的某种时态。如:I think you will finish the work in ten days.(我认为你十天内将完成那项工作。) She said that they needed some more tea.(她说他们还需要一些茶。) (2) even though 的意思是“即使”、“尽管”。如:Even though he is poor, she loves him.(尽管他很穷,她还是爱他。)

[难点释疑]注意alone和lonely之间的用法区别:alone 常指客观上只有一人、无人做伴;而 lonely 则指主观上感到孤独、寂寞,有浓厚的感彩。如:The traveller was walking alone by the lonely river, but he didn’t feel lonely, because he had an interesting book to read.(游客独自一人在僻静的河边漫步,但他不感到寂寞,因为他在看一本有趣的书。)

[难点释疑](1) “I don’t think...”是一个很重要的句式,语法上叫做“否定转移”,也就是说,否定词在结构上是否定主句的谓语动词,而实际上是否定宾语从句的内容,翻译时要特别注意。如:I don’t think you are right.(我认为你是不对的。) (2) get their ears pierced是“get sth done”结构,这里的done用作宾语补足语。如:You must get your homework done after school.(放学后你必须把作业做完。) I’ll get my hair cut tomorrow.(明天我要去理发。)

30. They talk instead of doing homework.(P19)他们交谈而不做作业。

[难点释疑] instead of 是复合介词,意思是“代替……”、“取代……”,后面接名词、代词或动名词。如:I’ll go instead of you.(我将代你去。) Instead of smiling, each of them maks a face.(没有笑,他们都做了鬼脸。)注意:instead是副词,意思是“代替”、“顶替”,在句中用作状语,常放在句末,可不必译出。如:You are busy. Let me go instead.(你忙,让我去吧。) It’s too hot to walk. We’ll go swimming instead.(天太热不宜散步,我们去游泳吧。)

31. So do we.(P20) 我们也是如此。

35. That would be a good way to keep both teachers and students happy.(P22) 那应该是能使得老师和学生都开心的一种好方法。

[难点释疑] 动词不定式短语to keep both teachers and students happy在句中用作定语,修饰way。动词不定式用作定语时,要放在它所修饰的名词后面。如:I’m very busy today. I have a lot of work to do.(今天我很忙,我有很多事要做。)注意:作定语用的动词不定式,若为不及物动词,在该动词之后,应加上适当的介词或副词。再如:Did he have anything to worry about?(他有什么事可担心的吗?)

37. However, his parents won’t allow him to train as much as he would like to.(P24) 然而他的父母并不允许他尽可能多地参加训练。

[难点释疑] however用作连词,意思是“可是”、“然而”,位置比较灵活,可用于句首或句中,并用逗号隔开。如:However, I soon saw that there was no hope of this.(但是我很快看出这样做没有希望。) I’m going to take the job. I have, however, not made up my mind yet.(我打算接受此工作,可是我还没下定决心。)注意:however也可以用作副词(用法和no matter how相同),引导让步状语从句。如:However/No matter how cold it was, we still went on working.(天虽然冷,我们仍然继续干活。)

38. Now he is getting older, and he needs to think about what will happen if he doesn’t become a professional runner in the end.(P24) 现在他也不小了,而且他需要考虑万一他最终不能成为一名职业长跑运动员,情况会怎样呢。

39. Being a professional runner is the only thing I have ever wanted to do.(P24) 成为一名职业长跑运动员一直是我唯一的梦想。

[难点释疑](1) Being a professional runner是动名词短语,在句中用作主语,此时,谓语动词一般用单数形式。 (2) I have ever wanted to do是一个省略了关系代词that的定语从句,修饰the only thing。如:This is the only book I want to buy.(这是我唯一想买的一本书。) That is the only thing you can do.(那是你唯一能做的事。)

40. But they are always talking about what will happen if I don’t succeed.(P24) 但是他们老是唠叨,万一我不成功情况会怎样呢。

[难点释疑](1) always 与进行时连用,表示经常性或反复性的动作,强调说话人的某种情感,如赞扬、批评、厌烦等。但always与一般时连用时没有这种感彩,只表示一种事实。如:She is always asking for money.(她总是要钱。)(厌烦) The child was always thinking of others.(那孩子总是想着别人。)(赞扬) She always asks for money.(她总是要钱。)(一个事实) (2) if在句中引导的是条件状语从句。注意:如果主句的谓语动词用一般将来时,条件状语从句也像时间状语从句一样,谓语动词应用一般现在时表示将来时间。如:You’ll do much better if you are more careful with your spelling.(如果你更加注意你的拼写,你会做得更好。)

41. Only then will I have a chance of achieving my dream.(P24) 只有到了那时我才有机会实现我的梦想。

[难点释疑]这是一个倒装句式。当only修饰副词、介词短语或从句,并被置于句首时,句子应部分倒装。如:Only in this way can you do it well.(只有用这种方法,你才能把它做好。) Only when I got home did I find I had left my keys in my office.(只有当我到家时我才发现我把钥匙忘在办公室了。)

42. What would you do if you had a million dollars?(P26) 如果你有一百万美元,你会用来干什么?

43. He doesn’t know what to wear.(P27) 他不知道该穿什么。

[难点释疑] know 后面不能直接跟动词不定式(短语)作宾语,而要跟“连接代词/连接副词+动词不定式”结构作宾语。如:She didn’t know how to deal with the problem.(她不知道如何处理这个问题。)

44. I don’t have a present. What if everyone else brings a present?(P27) 我没有带礼物,倘若别人带了礼物怎么办呢?

[难点释疑](1) “what if...?”相当于“what should we do if ...?”意为“倘若/假如……怎么办呢?”。如:What if he comes back?(要是他回来怎么办呢?) (2) else用作形容词时,常用作后置定语,修饰someone, somebody, anyone, anybody, something, anything, nothing等不定代词和what, who等疑问代词。如:Do you have anything else to say?(你还有什么要说的吗?) What else would you like?(你还要别的东西吗?) Anybody else can do it?(还有谁能做此事吗?)

注意:① else用作副词时常用于疑问副词之后,意思是“另外”、“其他”。如:Where else did you go?(你们还到哪里去了?) How else can I do it?(我还有别的办法做这件事吗?) ② 当else连同它的修饰词需要用所有格时,’s应加在else之后。如: It is not mine. It must be somebody else’s.(这不是我的,一定是别人的。)

45. If I were you, I’d wear a shirt and tie.(P27) 如果我是你的话,我会穿衬衫带领带。

[难点释疑]这是一个虚拟语气的句式。在这种句式中,从句中的be动词一律用were,主句的谓语动词一般用“情态动词+动词原形”。如:If I were a bird, I could fly in the sky.(如果我是一只小鸟,我可以在蓝天飞翔。) If she were you, she wouldn’t go there with him.(如果她是你的话,她不会和他一起去那儿的。)

46. Your friends would probably say that you are easy to get along with.(P30) 你的朋友很可能会说你是一个非常容易相处的人。

[难点释疑] get along with意为“相处”、“进展”等。如:How are you getting along with your study?(你的学习如何?) You should get along well with your classmates.(你应该和你的同班同学和睦相处。)

47. You would also rather stay at home and read a good book than go to a party.(P30) 你也宁愿呆在家里读本好书而不愿意去参加聚会。

[难点释疑] “Sb would rather do sth than do sth else”是一个常用句式,表示“某人宁愿……而不愿……”之意。如: The soldiers would rather die than surrender.(士兵们宁死不降。)

48. I can’t think of any good advice to give her, but you always come up with good solutions to people’s problems.(P31) 我想不出任何好的建议给她,但你总能给有问题的人提出一些好的解决方法。

[难点释疑](1) advice是一个不可数名词,没有复数形式,但可以用some, any, much, a lot of等词语修饰。“一条建议”应该说a piece of advice。 (2) come up with的意思是“提出”、“想出”。如:He came up with a new suggestion.(他提出了一个新的建议。) Scientists will have to come up with new methods of increasing the world’s food supply.(科学家们将不得不提出一些增加世界食物供应的新方法。)

49. What would you do if you cut yourself by accident?(P32) 如果你意外割伤了自己你应该怎么办?

[难点释疑] by accident是固定短语,相当于by chance,意思是“偶然地”、“无意地”。如:I met an old friend of mine in the street by accident.(我在街上意外地遇到了一个老朋友。)注意:accident和event都有“事件”之意,但含义不同:accident 指意外/偶发事件,多指不幸的事故或灾难; event通常指较重要的事件,多指一个国家或社会所发生的重要事件。请比较:His father who was killed in a traffic accident once said that the May 4th Movement was a great event in the history of China.(他的父亲在一次车祸中丧生了,他曾说过是中国历史上的一件大事。)
