PART III - The Lesson
1.PERCENTAGES 百分數(shù)
談到百分數(shù)，英語說：per cent 主要用于以下兩種結(jié)構(gòu)：
a)x per cent of (something)
Eighty per cent of Australia's population lives on the coast.
(試比較:Four-fifths-of Australia's poulation lives on the coast.)
Twenty per cent of my time is spent travelling.
b)A x%discount/profit/loss
YOu can get a 20% discount on this air fare.
(這批貨物/這張機票可以給你打八折。)
The company made a 10% profit/loss last year.
(這家公司去年有百分之十的利潤/虧損。)
有些習語里也用百分數(shù)。例如：
I don't feel 100%.
I'm not 100% sure.
在廣播里，你可以聽到另外一些日常會話里使用百分數(shù)的例子，并且練習拿分數(shù)與百分數(shù)進行換算。例如：
Three quarters is 75%(seventy-five per cent).
A third is 33 1/3%(thirty-three and a third per cent).
2.OTHER EXPRESSIONS OF QUANTITY 其他表示數(shù)量的詞語
There's not enough sugar in the tea.
There's just enough milk.
There's a lot of/lots of/plenty of time for sight-seeing.
I ate too much chicken.
YOu ate too many peanuts.
以上斜體字都是常用的數(shù)量詞語，按所表示的數(shù)量多少依次排列。
注意：
Too much 后面跟不可數(shù)名詞。例如：There's TOO MUCH sugar in the milk. TOO MANY后面跟可數(shù)名詞。例如：There were TOO MANY people at the party.
有一個諺語是這樣說的：
Too many cooks spoil the broth.
字面上的意思是：廚師太多，好湯也要做壞。實際上的意思是：人多手雜，反而壞事。
Enough若與名詞連用，放在名詞前面；若與形容詞或副詞連用，則放在后面。例如：
They've got ENOUGH money to buy a car.
She's old ENOUGH to go to school.
If we walk quickly ENOUGH we can catch the bus.
在廣播里還有下面兩個例子：
I don't think we're fit enough to do a bicycle tour.
Is he clever enough to pass his exams?
3.SOME USES OF THE - ING FORM OF THE VERB
動詞-ING形式的某些用法
a)許多動詞如果后面還接動詞，后面這個動詞就要用-ING形式。我們已經(jīng)碰到過一些例子。如：
Would you mind turnING the music down?
在這一講里，你還會聽到在spend time 后面用動詞的-ing形式：
On this tour you spend more time travelING than on most tours.
Twenty per cent of my time is spent travelING.
b)介詞后面的動詞要用-ING形式。我們已經(jīng)碰到的例子有：
How about comING to dinner?
I was thinking of havING an outside reception.
Thanks for invitING US.
你在廣播里還可以聽到：
This tour give syou a lot of time for sightseeING.
C)請注意這個新的用法：
WORTH VERB -ING等等
廣播里有這樣一個例子：
This tour has a 20% discount.It's worth considerING.
