1. However, we both enjoy going to parties.
然而,我們兩人都喜歡去參加聚會。
1) however與but比較:
兩者都表示上下文的轉折關系,含有“但是”、“可是”的意思。however 比but的語氣稍弱,在句子中的位置比較靈活,可位于句首、句尾或插入句中,在使用時必須用逗號將其與句子的其他部分隔開。例如:
The student made mistakes, he is still a good student, however.
這個學生犯過錯誤,可是他仍然是個不錯的學生。
Later, however, he decided to go. 可是后來,他決定去了。
由but連接的分句所表示的意義是相反的。它常被置于后一個分句的句首。例如:
I like the film, but I have no time to see it.
我喜歡這部影片,但是沒有時間去看。
The girl is very young, but she knows a lot of things.
這個女孩年紀不大,但她知道的事情卻很多。
2. My friend is the same as me. 我的朋友和我一樣。
the same as是固定搭配,意為“同……一樣”。其后可以接名詞、代詞,也可以接從句。例如:
Tom has the same height as you. 湯姆和你一樣高。
Lin Taos watch is the same as yours. 林濤的手表和你的一樣。
the same后面還可以接介詞to。the same to意為“對……來說是一樣的”、“對……沒有什么不同”,后面常接表示人的名詞或代詞。例如:
Its the same to Mike. 這對邁克來說是一樣的。
When he will go is the same to me.
對我來說,他什么時候去都一樣。
[特別提示]
(1)same前面總是有定冠詞the。
(2)the same前面可用quite修飾,但不能用very修飾。例如:
The two paintings are quite the same. 這兩幅畫完全一樣。
3. Liu Li has more than one sister. 劉麗有不止一個妹妹。
more than后跟數詞,含有“超出”、“多于”的意思,相當于over。例如:
There are more than fifty students in our class.
我們班有五十多個學生。
It took us more than an hour to get there.
我們花了一個多小時才到那兒。
注意:“more than one+單數可數名詞”作句子的主語時,謂語動詞用單數形式。例如:
More than one boy likes playing the piano in our class.
在我們班不止一個男孩喜歡彈鋼琴。
4. Liu Li and Liu Ying have some things in common.
劉麗和劉英有一些共同之處。
in common意為“共有(的)”、“公有(的)”。例如:
The two of them have a lot in common. 他們倆有許多共同之處。
What can you have in common? 你們倆能有什么共同之處?
5. Liu Ying is not as good at sports as her sister.
劉英不如她姐姐擅長體育運動。
1)比較be good at, be good for 和be good to:
be good at意為“善于”、“在……方面(學得、做得)好”,后面跟名詞、代詞或動詞-ing形式。例如:
Some of us are good at physics. 我們有些人物理學得好。
My younger brother is good at making model plane.
我弟弟擅長做飛機模型。
be good for意為“有益于……”、“對……有用”,后接代詞、名詞或動詞 -ing形式。其反義詞組為be bad for。例如:
Running in the morning is good for our health.
早上跑步對我們的健康有益。
We would feel it more comfortable and that is good for studying.
我們覺得那樣更舒服一些而且那樣也有利于學習。
This kind of wood is good for making boxes.
這種木料適合用來做箱子。
This food is good for children. 這種食物對兒童有益。
be good to意為“對……和藹”,后面通常接“人”作賓語。近義詞組為be friendly/nice to。例如:
Be good to elder people. 對年長者要和藹。
I think you should be good to that old woman.
我認為你應該對那位老太太和藹一些。
My neighbors were good to me. 我的鄰居們待我很好。
2) “as…as…”意為“和……一樣”。其中第一個as 是副詞,含“如此”的意思,后面跟形容詞或副詞原級。第二個as是連詞,含“如同”的意思,用來引導比較狀語從句,且這種從句多為省略句。例如:
Tom walks as fast as Mike. 湯姆走得跟邁克一樣快。
This story is as interesting as that one.
這個故事與那個故事一樣有趣。
as…as…的否定形式是not so (as)…as…, 表示“不及某種程度”的意思,not so用得比較普遍。例如:
He did not come so early as Wang Lin this morning.
今天早上他沒有王林來得早。
It is not as warm today as yesterday. 今天不如昨天暖和。
6. I think a good friend makes me laugh.我認為好朋友使我開心。
1) 動詞make在句中是“使”的意思,常出現在“make sb.+形容詞/名詞”中。這種結構意為“使某人……”。例如:
His coming made us very happy. 他的到來使我們感到很高興。
We made Lin Tao our monitor. 我們選舉林濤當我們的班長。
在make后面作賓語補足語用的動詞不定式不能帶to。例如:
Nothing will make him change his mind.
什么事情也不能使他改變主意。
What makes him get up so early every day?
什么使他每天起得這么早?
2) laugh與smile的用法。
(1)一般來說,laugh是指出聲的“笑”,有時是指“大笑”;smile是“微笑”的意思。人“微笑”時,面部露出高興的表情。例如:
They came into the classroom talking and laughing.
他們邊說邊笑,走進了教室。
He nodded and smiled. 他點頭微笑。
(2)作為不及物動詞,laugh和smile都可以跟at連用,意為“因……而笑”、“譏笑”、“睨視”。例如:
He laughed/smiled at the story. 聽了這故事他笑了。
He was laughed at by his friends. 他被朋友們嘲笑了。
He laughed/smiled at the terrorists threats.
他對恐怖分子的恐嚇以笑置之。
