1....we decided to go to the beach near our hotel.我們決定去賓館附近的海灘。
動(dòng)詞decide后面通常接動(dòng)詞不定式作賓語(yǔ),表示“決定做某事”。例如:
They decided to go for a walk after dinner.他們決定晚飯后去散步。
2.We waited over an hour for the train because there were too many people.
And because of the bad weather,we couldn’t see anything below.
兩個(gè)句子中的because與because of的意思相同,都是“由于;因?yàn)椤钡囊馑?,但because是連詞,用來(lái)引導(dǎo)原因狀語(yǔ)從句;because of是一個(gè)復(fù)合介詞,后面要接名詞或代詞。例如:
He didn’t go to school yesterday because he was ill.他昨天沒(méi)去上學(xué),因?yàn)樗×恕?/p>
I didn’t go shopping yesterday because of the rain.因?yàn)橄掠?,我昨天沒(méi)去買東西。
because還可用來(lái)回答Why開(kāi)頭的特殊疑問(wèn)句,而because of則不可用。例如:
—Why were you late?你為什么遲到了?
—Because I got up late.因?yàn)槲移鸫餐砹恕?/p>
3.My father didn’t bring enough money,so we only had one bowl of rice and some fish.
enough用作形容詞,意為“足夠的;充分的”,用作定語(yǔ)時(shí)放在名詞前或放在名詞之后。另外,enough也可用作表語(yǔ)。例如:
Thirty yuan is enough.三十元足夠了。
enough也可用作副詞,意為“足夠地;充分地”,用來(lái)修飾形容詞或副詞,通常放在被修飾的詞之后。例如:
Isitwarmenoughintheroom?房間里夠暖和了嗎?
4.Although many students like to watch sports,game shows are the most popular.
although(=though)意為“雖然;即使”,是從屬連詞,引導(dǎo)讓步狀語(yǔ)從句,但不可與but連用。若句子中用了but,就不能再用although。although引導(dǎo)的從句可放在主句前,也可放在主句后。例如:
Although she is in poor health,she works hard.(=She is in poor health,but she works hard.)盡管她身體不好,但還是努力工作。
I enjoy learning English,although it takes me a lot of time.盡管學(xué)英語(yǔ)花費(fèi)我很多時(shí)間,但我還是喜歡學(xué)。
5.My best friend Larry is quite different from me.John is similar to Larry because he’s less hardworking than me.
be different from意為“與……不同”,介詞from不可用as或with替代。例如:
Your bike is different from mine.你的自行車和我的不一樣。
be similar to意為“與……相像的”,其中的介詞to也不可用其他介詞替代。例如:
My watch is similar to Mary’s.我的手表和瑪麗的相像。
6.But I think friends are like books—you don’t need a lot of them as long as they’re good.
as long as意為“只要”,引導(dǎo)狀語(yǔ)從句,不是“與……一樣長(zhǎng)”的意思。例如:
As long as it doesn’t rain,we can go.只要不下雨,我們就可以去。
7.Call the English Study Center at 443-5667 for more information.
information意為“信息;消息”,是不可數(shù)名詞,不可與不定冠詞連用,但可以說(shuō)a piece of information來(lái)表達(dá)“一條信息”。該詞作主語(yǔ)時(shí),謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)形式。例如:
I hope you will give me some information about the university.我希望你能給我提供一些有關(guān)這所大學(xué)的信息。
All our information is up to date on the computer.我們計(jì)算機(jī)上的信息都是最新的。
