me reason,因?yàn)槟撤N原因。其中的some不是表示“一些”,而是“某個(gè)”?! ast year, however, it came into use. 1)注意however的位置:如果直接放在句首,則后面用逗號(hào)隔開。如果插入在句中,則前后都要用逗號(hào)隔開。 2)e into use,開始使用?! ver a hundred people must have been driven away from their homes by the noise. 1)句中的must表猜測,因?yàn)槭菍?duì)過去發(fā)生的事情的猜測,所以動(dòng)詞要采用完成時(shí)的形式。 2)drive sb./sth. away,驅(qū)趕某人或某物?! am one of the few people left. 1)I am不縮寫可以起到強(qiáng)調(diào)作用。 2)left,過去分詞用作形容詞,表示剩余的、剩下的。注意left只能作后置定語。 Sometimes I think his house will be knocked down by a passing plane. knock down,擊倒、撞倒?! have been offered a large sum of money to go away, but I am determined to stay here. 1)注意offer的用法,即:offer sb. sth. to sb.。 2)a sum of,一筆(錢)。 3)be determined to do,下定決心做某事,相當(dāng)于decide to do。這是被動(dòng)表主動(dòng)的用法。 Everybody says I must be mad and they are probably right. 1)must表猜測,對(duì)現(xiàn)在情況的猜測。 2)注意區(qū)分probably、possibly、maybe、perhaps的可能性大小?! ∪⒆x寫重點(diǎn) 可從寫作角度講講被動(dòng)語態(tài)的運(yùn)用,如被動(dòng)語態(tài)給人的感覺是比較客觀的。如:It is believed that the earth moves around the sun. 這句話就比“We believe that the earth moves around the sun.”顯得更加客觀。
