1. give a concert表示“舉行音樂會(huì)”,是動(dòng)詞短語,若把give變?yōu)間o to,則表示“去聽音樂會(huì)”。如:I went to a concert last night. 昨天晚上我去聽了一場音樂會(huì)。
2. go back意為“回去”,是不及物短語動(dòng)詞,其中back是副詞。如:You'd better go back for it.你最好回去取它。
3. in a hurry表示“匆忙地”,是介詞短語,可作方式狀語。如:He left in a hurry.他匆忙地離開了。
4. be / get married意為“結(jié)婚”,其中married是形容詞,作表語。若要表示“與某人結(jié)婚”時(shí),常用be / get married to sb,不能用介詞with。如:Mary was married to a rich man.瑪麗嫁給了一個(gè)有錢人。
5. How do you like...?常用來詢問對某人或某物喜歡到什么程度,意為“你認(rèn)為……怎么樣?”如:-How do you like China?你覺得中國怎樣?-I like it very much.我非常喜歡它。注意此句與What do you like about...? 的區(qū)別:后者是用來詢問對方所喜歡的內(nèi)容,意為“你喜歡……的哪些方面?”如:-What do you like about China? 你喜歡中國的什么?-The people and the food.中國人和中國的食物。
6. go on意為“繼續(xù)”,go on doing和go on to do 均意為“繼續(xù)做某事”,但意義有別:go on doing sth表示動(dòng)作短暫停頓后,繼續(xù)做同一件事,與go on with sth同義;而go on to do sth意為“接著再做另一件事”,指前后所做的事不同。試比較:Let's have a rest. Then we go on walking. 咱們休息一下,然后繼續(xù)趕路。That's all for reading. Next let's go on to write.就讀到這兒,下面接著寫。
7. turn green 意為“變綠”,turn為系動(dòng)詞,相當(dāng)于get,后接形容詞或形容詞比較級(jí)作表語,也可接名詞作表語意為“變得……”。如:His face turned white. 他的臉色變白了。
8. be different from...意為“與……不同”,其主語要與后面比較部分的主語在同一范疇。如:The weather in Yangzhou is different from that in Beijing.(that代替weather) 揚(yáng)州的天氣與北京的不同。
9. What is the date today?是對日期進(jìn)行提問時(shí)常用的一種說法。這個(gè)句式用于詢問現(xiàn)在和將來的某一天,答語用It's...若問過去的某一天,應(yīng)用What was the date...?,答語用It was....如:-What was the date the day before yesterday? 前天是幾號(hào)?-It was October 28th.十月二十八號(hào)。
10. I'm afraid... 用于委婉地拒絕或提出異議,表示對某事已經(jīng)發(fā)生或很可能發(fā)生表示遺憾或抱歉。當(dāng)別人邀請你參加某項(xiàng)活動(dòng),你不想或不能參加,表示委婉拒絕時(shí),可用I'm afraid not.如:-Will you go swimming with us? 你和我們一起去游泳吧?-I'm afraid not. 恐怕不行。
