第二單元English around the world

重點句型：

1）While

一、while意為\"當......時候\",指一段時間,不能用來表示一個時間點。

Someone knocked at the door while I was cooking.

While the discussion was still going on, George came in. 當討論還在進行時,喬治走了進來。

二、while意為\"而;然而\",表示轉折。可以用作并列連詞，表示對比意義，譯為“而”，“卻”。

Jane was dressed in blue, while Mary dressed in red. 珍妮穿藍色衣服，而瑪麗卻穿紅色衣服。

三、while意為\"雖然;盡管\",表示讓步。=although

While I admit his good points, I can see his shortcomings. 盡管我承認他的優點,但我還是能看到他的缺點。

四、while意為\"只要\",表示條件。

We can surely overcome these difficulties while we are closely united. 只要我們緊密地團結一致,一定能克服這些困難。

五、while從句中的省略。

當while從句中的主語與主句的主語一致,且含有be的某種形式時,從句中的主語連同be可同時省略。

While listening to the radio, she fell asleep. 她在聽收音機時睡著了。

While in London, he studied music and painting. 在倫敦時,他學習音樂和繪畫。

While on his way here,在來這里的途中

He never dreams while asleep.他睡覺時總來不做夢。

六、while還可以用作從屬連詞，作“在……期間”，“當……時候”講，使用時應注意它與用作從屬連詞的when的區別：

when引導的時間狀語從句，即可表示“一段時間”，又可表示“一點時間”，因此從句的謂語動詞既可以是延續性的，也可以是非延續性的。如：

①I hope to see you when(while)I stay in Beijing on business. (一段時間)當我出差北京時，希望見到你。

②When the clock struck twelve, all the lights went out. (一點時間)當鐘敲響十二下時，燈全部熄滅了。

【注意】while引導的時間狀語從句只能表示“一段時間”所以 while從句的謂語動詞應是延續性動詞(或狀態動詞)。例如：

①While I stayed(or was) in Shanghai, I saw her three times. 我在上海期間見到她三次。

如果從句的謂語動詞是延續性的，可以用while也可以用when。例如：

②While(When) we were having a meeting, a stranger came in. 我們在開會時，一個陌生人走了進來。

七、while可用作名詞,意為\"一會兒;一段時間\"。

作名詞用時,主要用于短語中:

1. all the while一直，始終

2. all this(long) while長久,這陣子all this time；有好久for a long time

3. after a while過了一會兒

4. a short/little while ago方才

5. for a while=for a moment一會兒

6. in a little while不久, 沒一會兒

7. between whiles時時；時常

8. once in a while=sometimes偶爾,間或

9. at whiles有時, 時常

10. every little while (=at whiles)有時, 時常

11. it’s worth (sb.’s) while to do(doing) sth.值得做

12. while the time away 消磨時間[while v.=pass]

13. make it worth your while=pay(you)

2）What is it that Joe can’t find in the bathroom?

用It is／was…that／who…句型表示強調。

被強調的部分（通常是句子的主語、狀語、賓語或賓語補足語）放在is／was的后面，如被強調的是人，則后面可用who，whom等代替。例如：

He met an old friend in the park yesterday. 他昨天在公園碰見一個老朋友。

上述句子可以通過強調句型對除謂語以外的不同成分進行強調。如：

It was he who/that met an old friend in the park yesterday. (強調主語)

It was an old friend that/who he met in the park yesterday. (強調賓語)

It was in the park that he met an old friend yesterday. (強調地點狀語)

It was yesterday that he met an old friend in he park. (強調時間狀語)

如果強調的是特殊疑問句，要用“特殊疑問詞+is/was + it + that +…”結構，表示“究竟是誰……，到底在哪里……”等等。例如：

1. It is from the sun that we get light and heat.

2. It was not until I had read your letter that I understood the true state of affairs.

3. It was playing computer games that took the boy a lot of time that he ought to have spent on his lesson.

5.besides:強調"除此之外，還包括"。

i. any(+n.), anything, anyone, anybody, anywhere

ii. every(+n.),everything, everyone, everybody,everywhere

iii. no(+n.) nothing, no one, nobody, nowhere

iv. what who where

a great many等表示“許多”的詞語

英語中有許多詞語可用來表示“許多”，根據性質可分為三大類。

1)修飾可數名詞復數形式的有 many, a good/great many, quite a few, a large (或great)/small number of等，其后的謂語動詞用復數形式。如：

①A great/good many words and expressions have come into the language from American English.美國英語中的許多單詞和短語進入了這門語言。

A good many men believe the story.許多人都相信這個故事。

▲many和few, a few在句中可作定語、主語，但不能作表語。如只能說I have many/few books, 而不能說 My books are many/few.

▲very many相當于a great/good many, 在程度上比many要強。

▲a number of修飾主語時，謂語動詞用復數形式，the number of…作主語時，謂語動詞用單數。如：

⑤A number of students have done the work well. 許多學生作業做得很好。

⑥The number of the students in our school has risen this year. 今年我們學校學生的數量上升了。

句⑤的 A number of作定語修飾主語 students。句⑥的介語短語 of the students in our school作定語，修飾前面的主語 the number, 表示特指，students 前的冠詞the不能省。

2)修飾不可數名詞的有much, a great deal of, quite a little, an amount of等。其后的謂語動詞用單數形式。如：

①He has spent much/quite a little/a great deal of/a large amount of money on his new house. 他在新房子上花費了許多錢。

②Much/A great deal/Quite a little has been done to stop the noise. 已采取了許多措施來制止污染。

▲much, a great deal和 many一樣，可作定語或主語，而不能作表語，我們一般說 He has much/a great deal of money, 而不說 His money is much(或a great deal)。

▲a great deal后面不接名詞時，不能用介詞of。

3)既能修飾可數名詞，又能修飾不可數名詞的有 a lot of, lots of, plenty of, a great quantity of等，謂語動詞根據主語是可數或不可數決定單復數形式。如：

①There are a lot of/lots of people in that room. 那個房間里有許多人。

②There\'s a lot of/lots of rice in the bag. 那只口袋里有許多大米。

eg. ① I don’t know / about him . 我不認識/ 沒聽說過他。

② I know about（of）her , but I can’t say that I know her .

我知道有其人，但談不上認識她。

know about = know of（知道）

hear of = hear about（聽到）

learn of = learn about（得知）

speak of = speak about（說起）

talk of = talk about（談起）

think of = think about（想到、考慮）

of 側重提及而不涉及詳細情況，不是主題。

about側重詳細情況，是議論得對象、主題。

原因狀語從句表示主句動作發生的原因或理由。引導原因狀語從句的連詞有：because(因為)、as(由于)、since(既然)、now that(既然)等。例如：

I do it because I like it. 因為我喜歡我才干。

As(或Since、Now that)everybody has come, we can set off. 既然大家都到了，我們可以動身了。 As he is honest and modest, all his friends like him.因為他誠實、謙虛，所以他的朋友們都喜歡他。

1)because、since、as、for用法區別。

用because引導的原因狀語從句時，主、從句可以體現出明顯的因果關系，其重點在從句的原因上。because從句所表示的原因往往是人們不知道然而很想知道的原因。可放在句首或句末，并且語氣最強，是唯一能回答why問題的連詞。because從句也可以在對話中單獨使用。例如：

He is absent today because he is ill.他今天缺席，因為他病了。

It was because he is ill that he is absent today.正是因為他病了，才沒來。

since的語氣比because弱，且其引導的從句多放在句首，其原因在說話人看來已很明顯，或已為聽話人所熟知，全句重點在主句上。since一般譯為“既然”或“由于”。例如： Let's put off the meeting till tomorrow since so many people are absent.既然這么多人沒來，我們就把會推到明天吧。

as和since引導原因狀語從句，其含義差別不大，只是wince比as更正式。as表示原因的語氣最弱，常用于口語中。例如：

Since(或As)I was afraid, I hid myself.由于害怕，我藏了起來。

As it is raining, you'd better take a taxi.既然現在下雨了，(所以)你最好乘出租汽車。

for常用作并列連詞。它引導的句子只是對其前的內容加以解釋或表示由產生的結果來推斷造成這種結果的理由，而不表示直接因果關系。for一般放在全句后。例如：

It rained last night, for the ground is wet this morning. 昨夜下雨了，今早地都濕了。

(for引導的句子不表示“因為今晨地濕，所以昨晚下雨”的直接原因)

【注意】 相反，如果將原句改寫成：

The ground is wet, for(或because) it rained last night.這里for和because都表示因果關系，可交替使用。

2)because一般不與reason連用，

一般不寫成：The reason he is absent from work is because he is ill.

應寫成He is absent from work because he is ill.或

The reason he is absent from work is that he is ill.他沒上班，是因為他生病了。

3)以as、since、now that等引導的原因狀語從句可以放在主句的前面或后面。放在主句前面是為了強調主句所表示的結果；放在主句后面，則強調從句所表示的原因。例如：

As he is working hard, he is likely to succeed.由于他工作努力，所以很可能成功。

He is likely to succeed as he is working hard.他大概會成功，因為他工作努力。

in that 既然，因為(引導原因狀語從句)

Critism and self瞔ritism is necessary in that it helps us to correct our mistakes. 批評與自我批評是必要的，因為能幫助我們改正錯誤。

now that 既然(引導原因狀語從句)

since 自從；因為(引導時間和原因狀語從句)
