本課簡介
在本篇課文中作者告訴我們并不只是粗野之人才犯罪，生活中看似無大礙的事情往往有違法律?，F(xiàn)實生活是復(fù)雜的，不可能像在電影中一 樣，簡單地把人分為好人和壞人。如同疾病可以輕至感冒重至癌癥一樣，犯罪行為也是有程度的輕重的。人們會對某些違法行為持寬容態(tài)度，這也許是因為人們想借 此來為自己的某些違法行為開脫。另外，報刊、電視上的暴力使得人們對犯罪司空見慣。在許多情況下，人們不忍去傷害一個具體的人，而對某個不甚具體的群體或 個體加以傷害卻并不在意。人們對于違法行為的種種錯誤認識必須得以糾正。嚴法酷刑、警方的嚴加防范也許都不能使人完全免于犯罪，變得誠實，每一個人都應(yīng)從 自己做起，使我們的社會成為一個文明的法制社會。
本課語言點
1.Who do you think breaks the law in our society？
本句中do you think是個插入語，插入語用于問句中在英語中也是十分常見的，如：
1）What performance do you think they will put on？ （你認為他們會表演什么節(jié)目？）
2）When do you suppose they will see us？ （你認為他們什么時候會見我們？）
3）Where do you suggest we should go during the holiday？ （你建議我們假期去哪兒？）

5）What do you suggest he should do to make up for the loss？ （為了彌補損失，你建議他該做些什么？）
2.Has anyone you know ever driven drunk？
本句中的drunk是個過去分詞，在句子中做狀語，修飾謂語動詞driven，說明動作發(fā)生的情況。這類用法也十分常見，如：
1）He turned away disappointed. （他失望地走開了。）
2）They went home exhausted. （他們回到家里已筋疲力盡了。）
3）We joined in the discussion unprepared. （我們毫無準備地加入了討論。）
Ever是個常用詞，在使用該詞時，常有人犯各種錯誤。我們來看一下ever的主要用法。
1）表示將來或過去的任何時間。用于否定句、疑問句、條件句中：
Have you ever been to Paris？ （你去過巴黎嗎？）
Nothing ever makes him happier. （從沒有什么事會使他更開心。）
If you are ever in China， please let me know. （如果你什么時候在中國，請讓我知道。）
2）用于表示比較的從句中：
It is raining harder than ever. （雨越下越大了。）
This is the highest mountain I have ever climbed. （這是我所爬過的高的山。）
The last I ever met him was in Nanjing. （我后遇見他是在南京。）

3.Won't some of your frends admit that they have stolen an item from a store？
請注意本句中的動詞admit的用法。admit做及物動詞用時，表示“承認”，“確認”，“接納”。Admit做不及物動詞用時，表示“通往”：“承認”

4.in case you did not know， all of these acts are against the law.本句話的意思是“如果你以前不知道，所有這些行為都是違法的?！?BR> in case用于引導(dǎo)條件狀語從句和目的狀語從句，在從句中，動詞可以用虛擬語氣，形式為should+動詞原形，也可以不用虛擬語氣，而用動詞的一般現(xiàn)在時或一般過去時，如：
1）Please remind me of it in case I （should） forget. （萬一我忘了，請?zhí)嵝盐?。?BR> 2）You had better leave the key at home in case I （should） think of coming back. （你好把鑰匙留在家里以免我想回來。）
5.In the same way that diseases range from the common cold to fatal forms of cancer， crimes vary in degree.
本句中的range from和vary在前面的課文中都已出現(xiàn)過，再請看幾個例句。
1）The participants range in age from 14 to 65.（參加者的年齡從14歲到65歲不等。）
2）The flavour of food varies from place to place. （食品的風(fēng)味各地都不同。）
Crimes vary in degree in the same way that…that引導(dǎo)的是一個同位語從句對way作進一步的說明。in the same way意思是“以同樣的方式”。

2）The teacher talked to the boy in the same way that his teacher had talked to him years ago. （那位老師用多年前他的老師與他交談的方式同那個男孩談話。）

2）I cannot imagine how he tolerated the isolation. （我不能想象他是如何忍受這份孤獨的。）
7.We become used to seeing blood on the news on television. Become是一個連系動詞，used to與連系動詞或be動詞連用，意思是“習(xí)慣”，used to單獨用時，意思是“過去，曾經(jīng)”。
1）He is getting used to living in the south. （他正在習(xí)慣南方的生活。）
2）I have become used to getting up early in the morning. （我已習(xí)慣早起。）
1）He used to work for the government. （他曾為政府做事。）
2）They used to live in the same city. （他們曾在同一座城市生活過。）
請注意be used to中的to是個介詞，后面要用名詞或動名詞，used to中的to是個不定式符號，后面用動詞原形。
8.When it comes to respecting the rights of a mass of anonymous individuals， we might not be so responsible.
When it comes to相當于so far as…is concerned意思是“就…而言”，“說到…時”。To是個介詞，后面用名詞或動名詞。

2）When it comes to giving due respect to the old people， she feels a bit uneasy.（說到給老人應(yīng)有的尊敬，她有些不自在。）

2）While I admit his good points， I can see his shortcomings. （盡管我承認他的優(yōu)點我還是看到他的缺點的。）
在動詞mind的后面要用動名詞、名詞短語或從句：

4）I don't mind tell him all I know. （我不介意把我所知道的都告訴他。）
5）Mind that you don't forget the meeting. （注意別忘了開會。）
10.Perhaps this is why someone who robs a few dollars by force from a corner store will often end up with a longer jail term than a fraud artist who swindles thousands of dollars…
by force意思是“憑借暴力，強迫地”，如：

本課簡介
在本篇課文中作者告訴我們并不只是粗野之人才犯罪，生活中看似無大礙的事情往往有違法律?，F(xiàn)實生活是復(fù)雜的，不可能像在電影中一 樣，簡單地把人分為好人和壞人。如同疾病可以輕至感冒重至癌癥一樣，犯罪行為也是有程度的輕重的。人們會對某些違法行為持寬容態(tài)度，這也許是因為人們想借 此來為自己的某些違法行為開脫。另外，報刊、電視上的暴力使得人們對犯罪司空見慣。在許多情況下，人們不忍去傷害一個具體的人，而對某個不甚具體的群體或 個體加以傷害卻并不在意。人們對于違法行為的種種錯誤認識必須得以糾正。嚴法酷刑、警方的嚴加防范也許都不能使人完全免于犯罪，變得誠實，每一個人都應(yīng)從 自己做起，使我們的社會成為一個文明的法制社會。
本課語言點
1.Who do you think breaks the law in our society？
本句中do you think是個插入語，插入語用于問句中在英語中也是十分常見的，如：
1）What performance do you think they will put on？ （你認為他們會表演什么節(jié)目？）

5）What do you suggest he should do to make up for the loss？ （為了彌補損失，你建議他該做些什么？）
2.Has anyone you know ever driven drunk？
本句中的drunk是個過去分詞，在句子中做狀語，修飾謂語動詞driven，說明動作發(fā)生的情況。這類用法也十分常見，如：
1）He turned away disappointed. （他失望地走開了。）
2）They went home exhausted. （他們回到家里已筋疲力盡了。）
3）We joined in the discussion unprepared. （我們毫無準備地加入了討論。）
Ever是個常用詞，在使用該詞時，常有人犯各種錯誤。我們來看一下ever的主要用法。
1）表示將來或過去的任何時間。用于否定句、疑問句、條件句中：
Have you ever been to Paris？ （你去過巴黎嗎？）
Nothing ever makes him happier. （從沒有什么事會使他更開心。）
If you are ever in China， please let me know. （如果你什么時候在中國，請讓我知道。）

1）The participants range in age from 14 to 65.（參加者的年齡從14歲到65歲不等。）
2）The flavour of food varies from place to place. （食品的風(fēng)味各地都不同。）

2）I cannot imagine how he tolerated the isolation. （我不能想象他是如何忍受這份孤獨的。）
7.We become used to seeing blood on the news on television. Become是一個連系動詞，used to與連系動詞或be動詞連用，意思是“習(xí)慣”，used to單獨用時，意思是“過去，曾經(jīng)”。

請注意be used to中的to是個介詞，后面要用名詞或動名詞，used to中的to是個不定式符號，后面用動詞原形。
8.When it comes to respecting the rights of a mass of anonymous individuals， we might not be so responsible.

5）Mind that you don't forget the meeting. （注意別忘了開會。）
