課文詳注 Further notes on the text
1.It is a fine day today.今天天氣好。
句中的it是指天氣。又如:
Is it cold today? 今天冷嗎?
No, it isn't. 不,不冷。
2.some clouds,幾朵云。
some既可修飾可數(shù)名詞,也可修飾不可數(shù)名詞。如:some tables一些椅子(可數(shù)名詞),some milk一些牛奶(不可數(shù)名詞)。
3.There are some clouds in the sky, but the sun is shining.天空中飄著幾朵云,但陽(yáng)光燦爛。
這句是并列句,由兩個(gè)分句構(gòu)成,連詞but表明分句之間存在著對(duì)比及轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。兩分句之間大多要用逗號(hào),有時(shí)可不用逗號(hào)。
4.Mr. Jones is with his family.瓊斯先生同他的家人在一起。
句中with是介詞,表示“和……一起”。family是指“家里的人”或“家庭成員”。
5.They are walking over the bridge.他們正在過(guò)橋。
句中的over有“穿過(guò)”的意思。又如:
The aeroplane is flying over the river.
飛機(jī)正在河上飛過(guò)。
The birds are flying over the house.
鳥(niǎo)兒在屋上飛過(guò)。
over還可表不“在……上方”(不接觸表面),如:
The sky is over our heads.
天空在我們頭頂上。
6.There are some boats on the river. 河上有幾艘船。
句中on意為“在……上面”(接觸表面)。又如:
There is a book on the table.
桌上有一本書(shū)。
7.The ship is going under the bridge. 那船正從橋下駛過(guò)。
句中under意為“在……下面(或下方)”。如:
There is a dog under the tree.
樹(shù)下有只狗。
ship一般指海洋中行駛的大船。boat一詞指河中行駛的小船。另外:aeroplane(英國(guó)英語(yǔ)),airplane(美國(guó)英語(yǔ)),飛機(jī)(正式用語(yǔ)); plane,飛機(jī)(非正式用語(yǔ))。語(yǔ)法 Grammar in use
現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)(2)
(請(qǐng)參見(jiàn) Lessons 31~32語(yǔ)法部分。)
現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)的形式是由be的現(xiàn)在時(shí)形式 現(xiàn)在分詞形式構(gòu)成。當(dāng)句中主語(yǔ)名詞為復(fù)數(shù)或者人稱代詞為第2人稱或第3人稱復(fù)數(shù)時(shí),be的現(xiàn)在時(shí)形式應(yīng)為are。
