Lesson 1  A Perfect Day?

官窑高中  潘文荣

1.         couch-->a long comfortable seat for two or more people to sit on 长沙发

couch potato-->a person who spends a lot of time sitting and watching television 老泡在电视机跟前的人，电视迷

When he has his summer vocation and winter vocation, he is really a couch potato, sitting all day and watching television.

2.         forty-three-year-old Brian Blakey / thirty-six-year-old Bob Black

关于名词复数的小知识：名词在作定语时，比如在合成形容词（这类词只能作定语）中，大多数不能用复数形式，

1)        an eighty-metre-wide road / a seven-foot-high horse / a nine-year-old boy

2)        They are middle school students.

3)        The village people now often go traveling.

4)        We are not the programme makers(方案制订者). So we can make no decision.

特例：

a)         He has a sports car(跑车). / The sports day/meeting(校运会) is coming./  Where is my sports shirt(运动服)?  (就sport这个词特殊，作定语就要用复数形式)

b)        They are all women teachers. / There are some women doctors in this country. / In some hospitals, there are men nurses. （定语是man/ woman，表达复数内容，用复数形式）

 

3.         When I wake up I don’t get up……I turn on the television and watch…….Then I get up, go downstairs and ……. For lunch, I have biscuits and ……In the afternoon I often watch another old film…… 本课的语法重点：复习一般现在时和现在进行时。本课大多数句子是两位先生用来描写他们平时的生活工作习惯的，所以大多数句子用了一般现在时这个时态。

4.         switch on = turn on;  switch off = turn off

1)        He often falls asleep before switching off the lamp.他常常没关灯就睡着了。

2)        Don’t always switch on the telly when you come back home.

5.         I couldn’t live this lifestyle without a good wife. 为什么用couldn’t这个过去形式？

英语中有一个规定：表示与事实相反的假设，要用过去式（could / would / did）

表示现在的情况、将来的情况：

1)        I wish I could remember all the words in the books.

2)       I wish I could travel under the sea next year.

a)         I ______________  (come) too if I had time tomorrow. 明天如果有时间我也会来。

b)        If  I         you, I          it like that. 如果我是你，我会那样做的。

6.         Bob Black is sitting at his desk and working his way through his paper work.

我们来分析一下句中的his way 作什么成分。

work 是不及物动词，所以his way不应该是宾语。his way 表达的是Bob的工作方式，应该是方式状语（状语包含有时间状语、地点状语、原因状语、结果状语、方式状语等，分别在句子中表达行为动作发生的时间、地点、原因、结果、方式）。

其实，这个方式状语的最规范的书面表达方式是：in his way。英语中常用in……way来表

达行为动作的方式，in 在这里省略了。这个in有时省略掉：

1)        The teacher told us not to answer the question ( in ) that way.

2)        Mr. Liu often gave his lessons in very strange but interesting ways.

3)        She didn’t spoke to her mother in a friendly way.

在上一篇文章中，I couldn’t live this lifestyle without a good wife一句也有省略in的现象。 猜一猜，省略掉的那个in 本来在什么位置。

7.         It takes me …… minutes to wash, get changed……

get changed 指换衣服，最后我身上的睡衣换了，换成了在外穿的衣服，所以用get changed

来表达。

8.         The mornings are always very busy and the afternoons are even busier!

A.        在这句中，出现了少见的“拟人”的现象，就是用本来描写人的词来描写非人的事物。be busy 是描写人的，现在用来描写mornings\afternoons 这样表示时间的词。这就是“拟人”。这是一种文学描写方式。

B.        even busier 表示“更加忙碌”。英语中有这样的现象：在形容词/副词比较级前加上某些词，可以表达“更加、……的多”这个内容。这些词有：even、 still、far、much。

a)         “I was late for school this morning, but Jack was even later”, said Tom to his father.

b)        The earth is far bigger than the moon.

c)        Our maths teacher said: “Physics is interesting. But maths is still more interesting.”

d)        Your house is much bigger than mine.

9.         Meetings and appointments take up a large part of the day.

take up 表示 “占去（时间、空间、地方等）”。

a)        This desk has taken up too much room(空间).

b)        The project (工程/项目) took up half of the summer vocation. 该工程花了半个暑假的时间。

10.     I look at some documents that I bring back from the office so that I can be ready for the next day’s work.

句中的划线部分是目的状语从句。用来表达“阅读文件”的目的。引导目的状语从句的，有so that 和in order that。

1)        We left home early so that / in order that we could catch the train.

2)        The teacher often speaks very loudly so that / in order that we can hear him clearly.

本课下文还有一个例句：

But I try to work hard so that I can make money for them.

 

Keys: 5. a) would come    b) were … would do（在这个语言点上，往往用were代替was）    6. I couldn’t live (in) this lifestyle without a good wife.
