  课文重难点 Further notes on the text

  1.…but things got so bad recently that he decided to go on a diet.……但是近来情况变得越发糟糕,以致他决定节食。

  (1)things(要用复数形式)可以表示"情况"、"情形"、"状况"、"形势"等含义:

  You've surely made things worse. 你确实使情况变得更糟了。

  How are things going on with you? 你那里情况如何?

  (2)get作不及物动词时可以表示"变得":

  I got interested in French. 我(变得)对法语感兴趣了。

  I got angry with him. 我(变得)对他很生气。

  (3)diet用于表示治疗某种疾病或调节体重的"特种饮食"、"规定饮食"时通常与on连用:

  The doctor put him on a strict diet. 医生让他严格控制饮食。

  She is on a diet. 她正在节食。

  I once went on a diet for a week and then I gave up. 我曾经节食过一周,然后就放弃了。

  2.First of all, he wrote out a long list of all the foods which were forbidden.首先,他开列了一张长长的单子,上面列了所有禁吃的食物。

  (1)first of all为固定短语,表示"首先"、"第一":

  First of all I must see your passport. 首先我必须看一下你的护照。

  (2)write out这个短语表示"(正式)写"、"写出"或"全部写出":

  You should write out a report. 你应该写一份报告。

  3.The list included most of the things Hugh loves…这张单子上的大多数食物都是休喜欢吃的……

  It contained five large bars of chocolate and three bags of sweets! 里面装了5大块巧克力和3袋糖果!

  include和contain都有"包含"的意思,但contain可以用于表示所包含的全部事物,include则只表示其中的一部分:

  It included three bags of sweets. 其中有3袋糖果。(另外还有其他东西)

  contain的主语通常为某个容器,include则含义更广:

  Does the bill include a tip? 账单包括小费吗?

  We're including you in our team. 我们把你列为我们队中的一员了。

  4.Yesterday I paid him a visit.昨天我去看望了他。

  pay a visit to sb. 表示"拜访某人":

  I paid a visit to Jane the other day. 前几天我去看望了简。

  5.…Hugh was still as fat as ever.……休仍和往常一样胖。

  as ever是as he ever was的省略形式。as…as ever这个结构表示"照旧"、"依然":

  He is as strong as ever. 他依然那么强壮。

  6.It was obvious that he was very embarrassed.显然他感到很尴尬。

  it为先行主语,真正的句子主语是that引导的从句,它在句子中起名词的作用。从句作主语时通常前面用先行主语it,以免句子看上去头重脚轻:

  It is certain now that he'll come on Monday. 现在可以肯定他星期一将会来。

  语法 Grammar in use

  一般过去时

  在第3课及第27课的语法中我们都学习了一般过去时。在一段文字中,初次使用一般过去时的时候通常要有明确的时间状语,随后的叙述则可以不一定使用时间状语;如果不加before, after等词语,过去的动作就被认为是按所描述的顺序发生的:

  One afternoon she set out from the coast in a small boat and was caught in a storm. Towards evening, the boat struck a rock and the girl jumped into the sea.

  一天下午,她乘小船从海岸出发,遇上了风暴。天将黑时,小船撞在了一块礁石上,姑娘跳进了海里。

  与一般过去时常用的两个词是once和recently:

  I went on an excursion recently. 最近我作了一次短途旅行。

  recently在表示"最近一段时期"时也可以与现在完成时连用:

  I haven't heard from him recently. 我最近没有收到他的信。

  一般过去时也可以用于时间状语从句中:
