课文详注 Further notes on the text
1.How do you spell…?……怎样拼写?
这是询问某个单词或某人的姓名如何拼写时常用的句型。
2.You've typed it with only one 'L'.但你只打了 1个"L"。
句中 it 指 intelligent 一词。这里的with意即“用”。
3.And here's a little present for you.这里有一件小礼物送你。
这是一个倒装句。由here引导、谓语为be的句子通常用倒装语序。这里and是表示承上启下,使上下文紧密联系,当“于是”、“因此”讲。
动词不定式
在英语中,当一个动词被另一个动词紧跟时,它们之间必须加不定式符号(to)。不定式符号后面的动词只能是原形,而不能是过去式或分词形式。
(1)不定式作动词的宾语(动词+to…):
He wants to buy a car. 他想买辆车。
He hopes to pass the French exam. 他希望自己能通过法语考试。
I want to leave. 我想离开。
(2)有许多动词可以带名词/代词宾语(通常是人称代词宾格),后面再跟不定式(动词+名词/宾格代词+to…):
I want you to carry it. 我想让你扛着它。
He wants them to listen to it. 他想让他们听那个。
Tell him to move it. 让他搬它。
(3)不定式的否定形式是在 to 之前加 not:
He decided not to buy the house. 他决定不买这幢房子。
He told me not to close the window. 他让我不要把窗户关了。
Tell him not to move it. 告诉他不要搬动它。
1.correct v.
(1)改正;纠正:
Please correct me if I'm wrong. 如果我错了,请你纠正。
I spent the whole morning correcting exam papers. 我花了整个上午的时间批改试卷。
(2)校正;矫正:
This pair of glasses will correct your eyesight problem. 这副眼镜会有助于矫正你的视力问题。
Oh, let me correct my watch first. 噢,先让我把我的手表对好。
2.break v.
(1)打破;使碎裂:
She told him not to break the vase. 她告诉他别把花瓶打碎了。
He broke a leg in the accident. 他在这起事故中摔断了一条腿。
(2)损坏;弄坏:
His little daughter has broken his favourite camera. 他的小女儿把他心爱的照相机弄坏了。
You shouldn't have bought such expensive toys for him because he will simply break them. 你不应该买这么昂贵的玩具给他,因为他会轻而易举地把它们弄坏的。
