重點(diǎn)知識歸納及講解
1. My aunt, Mrs Flower, died three weeks ago. Her husband had built up a large business during his lifetime.我姑媽弗勞爾太太三周前去世了。她的丈夫在世時(shí)創(chuàng)立了一個(gè)大企業(yè)。
該句中build up意思是“逐步建立”，強(qiáng)調(diào)“逐步”。例如：
The university has built up a net work of its own institutes.這所大學(xué)已建立起自己的研究網(wǎng)絡(luò)。
The company has built up a large fund for ages.
多年來這個(gè)公司已積累了大量資金。

3. When my aunt was buried, Clare turned up at the service, …在我姑母下葬時(shí)，克萊爾突然出現(xiàn)在葬禮上，------
該句中，turned up意思是“到來，出現(xiàn)，找到”，尤指出乎意料之外地到來或找到。例如：
He promised to come, but so far he has not turned up.
他答應(yīng)來，可是到現(xiàn)在還沒來。
I expect it will turn up one of these days.
我想這幾天總會(huì)找到它的。
4. I want you check out this Clare Flower and see that she has the right to get my aunt’s money…我想要你調(diào)查一下這位克萊爾 弗勞爾，看看她有沒有權(quán)力得到我姑媽的錢財(cái)。
該句中check out是“檢查，核查�！崩纾�
We have checked out all these figures and found them to be correct.我們核對了所有數(shù)字，發(fā)現(xiàn)它們都是正確的。
Ask them to check the information out for me.
請他們替我們把這情報(bào)核查一下。
5. “He married my aunt in 1968, so Clare would have been five years old.”他是1968年同我姑媽結(jié)婚的，因此，克萊爾想必（那時(shí)）已是五歲了。
句中would+have+p.p.表示從現(xiàn)在角度對過去的推測（想必是）。例如：
The lady you referred to would be Mrs Black.
你所提到的那位太太想必是布萊克太太。
I thought our mother would have waited for us long there. 我想母親想必是在那等了我們好長時(shí)間。
6. Can you go through them and give me whatever you find?

7. It only remains for me to pass all the money that she had to the right person.我還要做的事只是把她所有的錢交給合法的繼承人。
it only remains for sb. to do sth.意思是“某人所要做的是”，句中it為形式主語，for sb. to do sth.為不定式復(fù)合結(jié)構(gòu)做真實(shí)主語。例如：
It only remains for him to say that he agrees to the plan.他所要做的只是說一說他同意這一計(jì)劃。
8. Mrs Flower directed that all the money that belonged to her should come to you.
弗勞爾太太指示說，屬于她的全部錢財(cái)都應(yīng)當(dāng)歸你所有。
該句中direct的賓語從句用了should +原形動(dòng)詞結(jié)構(gòu)，其中should可以省去。例如：
The general directed that the prisoners (should) be set free.將軍命令把所有的辦犯全都釋放。
The teacher directed all the students (should) gather in the playground.老師命令所有的學(xué)生到操場集合。
9. “I’m allowed to change the colour of my hair,” she said angrily.“我可以改變我的頭發(fā)的顏色，”她憤怒地說。
be allowed to do“可以做---；得到允許做-----”。不要按漢語譯為“被允許做-----”。例如：
Are we allowed to play catch here?
我們可以在這里練投球嗎？
They are allowed to watch TV every evening.
每天晚上他們可以看電視。
10. Don’t tell me that all this is because of photograph taken when I was twelve.
不要跟我講這一切都是由于我12歲時(shí)的一幀照片。
該句主句為Don’t tell me that…其后接了一個(gè)賓語從句。從句的主語為all this，其表語是because of photograph taken when I was twelve，而在這個(gè)表語中包括了由過去分詞taken做定語，在分詞短語又包括了一個(gè)由when引導(dǎo)的狀語從句。
11. The lawyer was brief and to the point.
律師的答復(fù)簡明扼要。
to the point意思是“中肯的，切題的，扼要的”，其反意詞組為off the point“離題的，題外話”。例如：
In spite of all his talk he never seems to come to the point.盡管他說了許多話，卻似乎永遠(yuǎn)說不到點(diǎn)上。
He always speaks to the point. 他講話總是很中肯的。
12. She instructed in her will that if that were to happen, all the money should go to an organization for helping the blind called “Helping Hand.”她在遺囑中指示說，如果發(fā)生這種情況的話，這筆錢就該全部歸于一個(gè)叫做“援助之手”的盲人救濟(jì)組織。
該句是個(gè)主從復(fù)合句，其主句為She instructed in her will,其后接一個(gè)that引導(dǎo)的賓語從句。這里that不可以省，而在賓語從句中又包括了一個(gè)由if引導(dǎo)的條件從句。在賓語從句中又有一個(gè)過去分詞called短語作定語。
注意在句中賓語從句含有一個(gè)由if引導(dǎo)的虛擬語氣的結(jié)構(gòu)。從句中用了were to do結(jié)構(gòu)表示對將來情況的推測或假設(shè)。例如：
If the sun were to rise in the west, I would follow you.
要是有一天，太陽從西邊出來，我就聽從你的。
If it were to rain tomorrow, we would put the sports-meet off.如果明天萬一下雨，我們就把運(yùn)動(dòng)會(huì)延期。

本單元出現(xiàn)這樣的句子：

back at the hive=when they were back at the hive
若從句中含有be動(dòng)詞，并且主句主語和從句主語相一致或主語是it時(shí)，從句中常常省掉主語和謂語的一部分（特別是動(dòng)詞be）。例如：
