初级句型——简单句
基本句型及补语
不及物动词:可以独立发生,不牵涉别的人或物:sb die
及物动词:必须发生在另一个对象身上:sb kill sb
be动词:后面没有补语,be动词解释为“存在”
I think , therefore I am . 人类因为能够思考,才能肯定自我的存在。
To be or not to be , that is a question . 要存在还是不要存在(生存还是毁灭),这是一个问题。
不定词短语
将助动词转化为不定词,判断使用动名词还是不定词
They plan to marry next month .
will marry = are going to marry = ( are giong ) to marry
I avoid making the same mistake twice .
to make = will make 与原意不符
使役动词:具有强制性,结果是确定的、无从选择的,使用不能用不定词
The teacher made the girl stay behind .
形容词
属性形容词:越客观、不可变的特质越靠近名词,
越主观、临时、可变的因素越远离名词
The murderer left behind a bloody old black Italian leather golve .
沾血的, 老旧的,黑色的,意大利制的,皮革制的
可变的,临时的
定冠词:补语位置的形容词,比较级/最高级不需要加定冠词
语气
叙述事实语气(未来式):当同时叙述两件未来的事情,且两者有关联,需要假设一件(表示时间或条件的从句)已经是事实(现在式),再去推论另一件事
I’ll be ready when he comes .
If you are late again , you’ll be fired .
假设语气:以动词过去形态来表达“非事实”
If I were you , I wouldn’t do it .
我不可能是你,所以用动词过去形态来表示“非事实”(委婉口吻)
If I had known earlier , I might have done something .
过去并不知道,假设知道==>“非事实”+ 已经是过去式,所以用过去完成时
If an asteroid(小行星) should hit the earth , man could die out .
未来的事情,不能确定==>“非事实”+ 未来时间,所以用过去将来时
