字號:

Lesson52 A pretty carpet
    新概念英語2課文內(nèi)容:
     We have just moved into a new house and I have been working hard all morning. I have been trying to get my new room in order. This has not been easy because I own over a thousand books.To make matters worse, the room is rather small, so I have temporarily put my books on the floor. At the moment, they cover every inch of floor space and I actually have to walk on them to get in or out of the room. A short while ago, my sister helped me to carry one of my old bookcases up the stairs. She went into my room and got a big surprise when she saw all those books on the floor. 'This is the prettiest carpet I have ever seen,' she said. She gazed at it for some time then added, 'You don't need bookcases at all. You can sit here in your spare time and read the carpet!'
    本文語法:復(fù)習(xí)現(xiàn)在完成時(請參考Lesson 5的語法總結(jié)。)

    1、We have just moved into a new house and I have been working hard all morning.
    我們剛剛搬進一所新房子,我辛辛苦苦地干了整整一個上午。
    語言點 have just moved為現(xiàn)在完成時,表示“剛剛搬完家”(動作已經(jīng)結(jié)束);have been working 為現(xiàn)在完成進行時,表示從過去到現(xiàn)在一直在進行的動作。
    2、I have been trying to get my new room in order.
    我試圖把我的新房間收拾整齊。
    語言點“整理,把……變成干凈整潔”的三種表達(dá):

    例:Please give me three minutes to put my desk in order.給我三分鐘時間,我就可以把我的書桌收拾干凈。
    3、This has not been easy because I own over a thousand books.
    但這并不容易,因為我有1000多本書。
    語言點 have, own, possess都表示“擁有”,它們的區(qū)別如下:
    1) Have = have got 常用在 口語中;
    2) own強調(diào)合法地?fù)碛心澄铮?BR>    3) possess更突出從屬關(guān)系。
    4、To make matters worse, the room is rather small, so I have temporarily put my books on the floor.
    更糟糕的是房間還非常小,所以我暫時把書放在了地板上。
    語言點1本句中so引導(dǎo)并列句
    語言點2to make matters wo撕是一個插入語,表示遞進關(guān)系,起到進一步補充說明的作用。
    to make matters worse 相當(dāng)于 worse than all, what is worse。
    語言點 3 rather =fairly =quite 相當(dāng);十分;徹底
    5、At the moment, they cover every inch of floor space and I actually have towalk on them to get in or out of theroom.

    8、"This is the prettiest carpet I have ever seen,"she said.
    “這是我見過的漂亮的地毯,”她說。
    語言點:本句中形容詞高級prettiest修飾carpet,而修飾carpet的定語從句I have ever seen前省略了引導(dǎo)詞that?! ?BR>    9、She gazed at it for some time then added, "You don,t need bookcases at all. You can sit here in your spare time and read the carpet!"
