Unit 2 Great minds第 2 课时 课文重难点句型讲解栏目导航巩 固 习 题1.One evening, on their way to a university, Einstein said,“I’m so tired. I wish I could avoid giving my lecture tonight, Hans, but I don’t want to let my audience down.”一天晚上,在去一所大学的路上,爱因斯坦说:“我很累。汉斯,我真希望我可以不用做讲座,但是我又不想让我的听众失望。” 上述句子 one evening 说的是过去的时间,因此句子用一般过去时。固定短语 on one’s way to 后接地名,to 为介词,但后面接 home、here、there 等方位副词时,to 应该省略。例如: Last weekend, I saw an accident on my way home.上周,在我回家的路上,我看见了一起事故的发生。 此外,wish 引导的宾语从句,连接词 that 省略了。此时后面的动词用过去的时态,构成虚拟语气。wish 还可用于短语 wish to do sth.和 wish sb. to do sth.中,近义词 hope 则用于 hope to do sth.和 hope for sb. to do sth.。例如: I wish I could help you tomorrow. 我多么希望我明天能帮你呀。 I wish him to be better in the next exam. 我希望下次考试他会更好。 固定短语 avoid doing sth.,避免做某事;let sb. down 相当于 make sb. disappointed,让某人失望。 2.Einstein took a seat, listened to Hans give his lecture without difficulty, and joined in the applause at the end. 爱因斯坦坐了下来,听着汉斯轻而易举地完成了演讲,最后和听众一起鼓掌。 上述句子用了多个谓语动词 took、listened 和 joined,这三个动作都是连贯性的。例如: Jack unlocked the door, took off the shoes, turned on the light and walked in. 杰克用钥匙开了门,脱下鞋子,打开灯,走了进去。 短语 without difficulty 在这里作状语,相当于 very easily。此外,at the end 实际是 at the end of the lecture 的缩写。请注意区分 at the end of、in the end 和 by the end of: (1)in the end:相当于 at last 或 finally,最后;最终。 (2)at the end of:在……末尾、尽头;在……底。 (3)by the end of:截止……末、底,常与完成时态连用。 巩 固 习...
