Notes on the text課文注釋
1 as quickly as they could是狀語,修飾ran away。第1個as是副詞,第2個as是連詞.引導比較狀語從句。could后省略了run,是“能跑多快就跑多快”的意思。
2 What's up?干什么?有什么事?
3 he called
he指parrot。英語中,動物有時用he或she代替,是“擬人”的寫法。
4 go back to sleep繼續睡覺。
Lesson 120 It had already happened.它已經發生了。
New words and expressions生詞和短語
exercise book
n.練習本
Lesson 119-120 自學導讀 First things first課文詳注Further notes on the text 1.happen to,發生在……身上。
What happened to you yesterday?
你昨天出什么事了?
2.a friend of mine,我的朋友之一。
相當于one of my friends,但前者比后者顯得更為親切。
3.After they had entered the house, they went into the dining room.他們進到屋里后,走進了飯廳。
After they had entered the house是時間狀語從句,had entered是過去完成時結構。在以after引導的時間狀語從句中,用一般過去時或過去完成時沒有多少差別。如果強調從句的謂語動作在主句的謂語動作之前完成,就用過去完成時。
4.turn on,打開,擰開(電視、水源、煤氣等)。
其反義詞為turn off(關上)。
語法Grammar in use
過去完成時
構成:had +過去分詞。
過去完成時主要用于表示兩個事件中一個發生在前,或者說是表示較早的過去。常與現在完成時連用的副詞,如already(已經),ever(曾經),for +表示時間段的詞,just(剛剛)和never(從未)也常與過去完成時連用,以強調事件發生的先后次序。有時我們不一定非得用過去完成時表示先發生的事件,因為意思十分清楚,如:
After I finished ,I went home.
我做完后就回家了。
請看例句:
She went on holiday after she had taken the exam.
她考試后度假去了。
I ran to the platform quickly, but the train had already left.
我趕快跑到站臺上,但是火車已經開走了。
We had had dinner before they arrived.
他們到達之前我們就已吃飯了。
The patient had died when the doctor arrived.
大夫到達時病人已經死了。
