基本語法

一、過去進行時與一般過去時用法比較：

1. 過去進行時強調動作在過去某時刻正在進行或持續，而一般過去時表示動作的完成。

David was writing a letter to his father last night.

大衛昨晚正在給他父親寫信。（指信在寫的過程中，不一定寫完）

I had a lot of work to do yesterday.

昨天我有許多工作要做。

3. 一般說來，過去進行時側重動作持續時間的長度，而一般過去時只說明過去某時發生某事，側重說明事實。It was raining heavily last night.

昨晚下著大雨。（側重說明下雨持續的時間長）

It rained heavily last night.

昨天下了大雨。（側重說明下雨這一事實）

二、連詞unless，as soon as和so... that...的基本用法

1. unless是從屬連詞，引導條件狀語從句，含有否定意義，相當于if條件狀語從句的否定形式，因此unless = if not。

注意：unless引導的條件狀語從句和if條件狀語從句，與其它時間狀語從句一樣，用一般現在時代替一般將來時。

Unless you take more care， you’ll have an accident.

如果不多加小心的話，你會出事故的。

2. as soon as表示“一……就”，其中的從句通常用一般現在時代替一般將來時表示將來。在句中位置較靈活，口語和書面語均可使用。

I’ll write you as soon as I get there.

我一到那兒就給你寫信。（一般現在時）

As soon as I went in， Jason cried out with pleasure.

我一進門，杰森就高興地叫起來。（一般過去時）

3. so... that...引導結果狀語從句，意思是“如此……以致于……”。so是副詞，常常用來修飾形容詞或副詞，常用句型為：主語 + 謂語 + so + adj./adv. + that從句。

She is so young that she can’t look after herself.

她很年輕以致于不能自理。

A long time ago， the monkey and the turtle were good friends. One day， they saw a fallen banana tree and decided to plant it. They divided the tree into two parts. The monkey took the part with leaves， thinking that it would grow faster. Then they went home and planted it. Many days passed， the monkey’s plant died but the turtle’s grew well and produced fruit. When the fruit was ripe （成熟） the turtle asked the monkey to share it with him. The monkey climbed up the tree and ate all the fruit. So the turtle got angry. He found some sharp sticks and put them round the tree. When the monkey came down， he hurt himself. The turtle laughed and hid himself under a big shell. The monkey took the sharp sticks from his body. He sat on the big shell and the turtle pulled his tail. The monkey got very angry and caught the turtle.

“I’ll cut you into pieces，” said the monkey.

“Good， so there will be many turtles.”

“No， I’ll put you into the fire.”

“That’s better. My skin will be red.”

“No， I’ll throw you into the river.”

“No，” said the turtle. “I’ll die.”

The monkey threw the turtle into the river， and the turtle swam away happily.

Linda Evans was my best friend—like the sister I never had. We did everything together： piano lessons， movies， swimming， and horseback riding.

When I was 13， my family moved away. Linda and I kept in touch through letters， and we saw each other on special time—like my wedding （婚禮） and Linda’s. Soon we were busy with children and moving to new homes， and we wrote less often. One day a card that I sent came back， stamped “Address Unknown.” I had no idea how to find Linda.

Over the years， I missed Linda very much. I wanted to share happiness of my children and then grandchildren. And I needed to share my sadness when my brother and then mother died. There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Linda could fill.

One day I was reading a newspaper when I noticed a photo of a young woman who looked very much like Linda and whose last name was Wagman—Linda’s married name. “There must be thousands of Wagmans.” I thought， but I still wrote to her.

She called as soon as she got my letter. “Mrs Tobin！” she said excitedly. “Linda Evans Wagman is my mother.”

Minutes later I heard a voice that I knew very much， even after 40 years， laughed and cried and caught up on each other’s lives. Now the empty place in my heart is filled. And there’s one thing that Linda and I know for sure： We won’t lose each other again！

A rich man was once riding along the road and saw an old man digging in his garden. On the ground lay a young tree， ready to be planted. The rich man called out to the old man， “What kind of tree are you planting there， my good man？”

“This is a fig（無花果）tree， sir.” He said.

“A fig tree？” the rich man was very surprised. “Why， how old are you， may I ask？”

“I am ninety years old.”

“What！” cried the rich man. “You’re ninety years old. You are planting a very young tree now and it’ll take years to give fruit. You certainly don’t hope to live long enough to get any fruit from this tree.”

The old man looked around the garden. Then he said with a smile， “Tell me， sir. Did you eat figs when you were a boy？” “Sure，” the man did not know why he asked this question. “Then tell me this，” he said， “who planted the fig trees？” “Er... I don’t know.” “You see， sir，” went on the old man. “Our forefathers （祖先） planted trees for us to enjoy and I am doing the same for the people after me.”

The rich man was quiet and said， “You are right， my good man. We should do some things for the people after us. Thank you very much.” Then he rode away.
