[基础知识]

1. 词法
   (1) consider
    [说明]作“认为”讲,后跟不定式的复合结构,表示“consider sb/sth to be”,这一结构表示
    “认为某人/某事……”,“把……当作……”。与 “regard sb/sth as” 相同。
     例如:Jenny is considered (to be) warm-hearted.
       Jenny被认为是个热心人。
       The Great Wall is considered as one of the most interesting places in the world.
       长城被认为是世界上最有趣的地方之一。
   (2) no more than
    [说明]意思为“仅仅,只不过”,相当于only。它与数字连用时,意为“仅仅,至多”,强调
     “少”,带有说话者的感情色彩。
     例如:I have no more than ten yuan in my pocket, so I can only buy a hamburger for
       lunch.
       我的口袋里最多有10块钱,所以我只能买汉堡作午餐。
       There were no more than two public hospitals in this city before liberation.
       解放前,这座城市只有两家公立医院。
   (3) be against
    [说明]作“反对,违背”解,against是介词,后接名词或动名词。
     例如:Are you for or against our project?
       你是赞成还是反对我们的计划?
       We are all for peace and against war.
       我们都期望和平反对战争。
   (4) set … free
    [说明]作“释放,放出”解。
     例如:They were set free a few days ago after they were in prison for five years.
       他们在监狱被关了5年,几天前刚被放出来。
       The old lady set the fish free so that they can swim freely in the river.
       那个老太太把鱼放了使它们能在河里自由自在地游泳。
   (5) break away
    [说明]作“脱离,断绝往来”解,常与from连用,表示“同……脱离关系”,“同……决裂”。
     例如:It was wrong for him to break away from all his good friends.
       他和他的好朋友们决裂是错误的。
       The students were encouraged to break away from the bad habits.
       学生们被鼓励与坏习惯决裂。
   (6) break out
    [说明]作“爆发”,“突然发生”解。它与happen, take place, come out等词的用法一样,
     是不及物动词,不能带宾语,不能用于被动语态。
     例如:Could you tell me when World War II broke out?
       你能告诉我第二次世界大战什么时候爆发的吗?
       Shortly after the fire broke out, the firemen arrived and controlled the fire.
       在火灾发生后很短的时间内,消防队员们就到达现场并控制住了火势。
       I don't know why a quarrel broke out between the two neighbours because
       they used to be close friends.
       我不知道为什么这两个邻居之间会发生争吵,因为他们以前曾是很亲密的朋友。
   (7) be free to do sth.
    [说明]作“不受约束,随心所欲地做某事”解。
     例如:Nowadays in some universities students are free to choose their favourite
       course.
       现在一些大学的学生们能够自由地选择他们所喜爱的课程。
       During the holiday I can be free to do everything I like, such as swimming,
       reading etc..
       在假期中我能够自由地干我自己喜欢的事,像游泳,读书等。

   (3) She did all she could to help him.
     这句话可以这样说:She did all that she could do to help him.
     主句和从句中有了相同的谓语动词do,从句中的do可以省略。

  2. 语法句法
   (1) 先行词是表时间或地点的名词时,关系词的选择要慎重,必须看它在从句中充当什么成分。
    下列句子就不能用when或where:
    例如:The bridge ( which/ that) they built 10 years ago was destroyed in the floods in
       1998.

       We'll never forget the day (that/ which) we spent together in the university.
       我们将不会忘记我们在大学一起度过的日子。
   (2) 通常可用“介词+which”的形式来替代when或where。当介词未直接置于引导词前时,也可用

    例如:It also keeps a record of the date on which/ when they will travel.
       它还把他们旅行的日期也记录下来。
       They were held in Greece-the country in which/ where the games were born.

First Of May

分类:想知道吗?

When I was small, and Christmas trees were tall 
We used to love while others used to play 
Don't ask me why, the time has passed us by 
Someone else moved in from far away 

* Now we are tall, and Christmas trees are small 
And you don't ask the time of day 
But you and I, our love will never die 
But guess who'll cry come first of May * 

The apple tree that grew for you and me 
I watch the apples falling one by one 
And I recall the moment of them all 
The day I kissed your cheek and you wre gone 

I Love You,Too

分类:休闲娱乐

I Love You, Too

  
   Boyfriend: I'm not rich and don't have a yacht or convertible like Harry,
        but I love you, dear.
   Girlfriend: I love you, too. But tell me more about Harry.


              我也爱你

    男朋友:虽然我不象哈里那样有豪华游艇和舒适的生活,但是我爱你,
        亲爱的。
    女朋友:我也爱你。不过你能否告诉我有关哈里的一些情况呢?

称赞别人

分类:英语学习

俗话说:好话不怕多。有些话天天可以对任何人说,一天可以说几
 十遍,对方非但不烦却很爱听,这就是如何“称赞别人”。

    You are an ace.
      你是一流人才。
    You are a gem.
       你是很有价值的人。
    You are the best of the best.
       你是最顶尖的人物。
    You are tops.
       你是最好的。
    You are A number one.
       你是第一流的。

  额外收获:ace这个词,我们知道它指的是纸牌中的A;另外我们经常在
       看网球比赛时听到解说员说某人发了“ace球”,就是ace这
       个词, 是指网球中的发球直接得分;这里是指一流的人才。
       gem原来表示“宝石”,宝石是被人们所喜爱,所以在此gem
       指的是“被喜爱的人”、“有价值的人”。
       The bestof the best 是指“在最佳团体中最好的”。
       A number one =of the highest rating.
       第一流的,最高级的。

Doctor's Orders
     Brown: I'm sorry to see you so unwell. Have you seen the doctor?
   Jack:  Yes. I'm having three baths a day.
   Brown: What for? Jack: Don't know, doctor's orders. He gave me
       some medicine and told me to follow the directions on the
       bottle, which read:" One tablespoonful to be taken three
       times a day in water."  

            




          紧遵医嘱

   布朗:看到你身体这样不好真让人难过。你去看医生了吗?
   杰克:看过了,我现在一天洗三次澡。
   布朗:为什么? 杰克:我也不知道,这是医生的嘱咐。他给了我
      一些药并告诉我要按照药瓶上的说明去做。说明上面写着
      “一天三次在水中服一汤匙。”

   注:正确的意思是:“和着水服一汤匙,一天三次。”

金刚》:有情有义的猩猩King Kong
  大萧条时期的美国,为了谋生,摄制组来到荒岛(Skull Island),却忍受着诸多大型野兽的袭击。女主角安(Ann)认识的一只巨大无比的猩猩Kong竟能让其他动物止步。安將King Kong由荒岛带到纽约,却是它悲剧命运的开始……
King Kong

It is 1933, and vaudeville actress Ann Darrow has found herself--like so many other New Yorkers during the Great Depression--without the means to earn a living.


Unwilling to compromise and allow herself to sink into a career in burlesque, she considers her limited options while aimlessly wandering the streets of Manhattan. When her hunger drives her to unsuccessfully try to steal an apple from a fruit vendor's stall, she is rescued--literally--by filmmaker and multiple hyphenate Carl Denham. It seems that the entrepreneur-raconteur-adventurer is no stranger to theft, having that day lifted the only existing print of his most recent and unfinished film from under his studio executives' noses when they threatened to pull his completion funds. Carl has until the end of the day to get his crew onboard the Singapore-bound tramp steamer, the S.S. Venture, in hopes of completing his travelogue/action film.


With that, the showman is certain he will finally achieve the personal greatness he knows awaits him around the corner--and although the crew believe that corner to be Singapore, Denham actually hopes to find and capture on film the mysterious place of legend: Skull Island. Unfortunately for Carl, his headlining actress has pulled out of his project, but his search for a size-four leading lady (the costumes have all been made) has, fatefully, led him to Ann.

The struggling actress is reluctant to sign on with Denham, until she learns that the up-and-coming, socially relevant playwright Jack Driscoll is penning the screenplay--the fees his friend Carl pays for potboiling adventure are a welcome supplement to Driscoll's nominal income from his stage plays. With his newly discovered star and coerced screenwriter reluctantly onboard, Denham's "moving picture ship" heads out of New York Harbor--and toward a destiny that none aboard could possibly foresee.
