would you mind not playing basketball here?
Would you mind moving your car?
學習表示歉意
I’m sorry ,I’ll do it right away
Sorry, we’ll go and play in the park .
No,not at all .
基本用法:1)Would you mind doing?=Do you mind doing..?“你介意…?” “請你…好不好?”是一種比較客氣的表達方式。
2)如果要表示“請你不要做…好嗎?”只需在doing 前面加not.應答用語:
1)如果同意表示不介意時,可用如下用語來表達:Certainly not.; Of course not.;No,not at all.;Not at all.“好,可以”
2)如果不同意表示介意時,常用“Sorry.”“I’m sorry, but…”及陳述某種理由來表示拒絕或反對。;這一句型中的邏輯主語只能是談話的對方you,如果想要對方允許自己做某事,可以用 “Would you mind my doing..?句型。
形容詞與副詞之間的轉化:1)以le結尾去e變y,possiblepossibly;2)在形容詞后直接加ly,usualusually;3)在以輔音字母+e結尾直接加ly,widewidely;4)以元音字母+e結尾,去e加ly,truetruly;5)以輔音字母+y結尾變y為i+ly,happyhappily

in a minute, soon等多用于將來時,表示即將去做某事
in+時間段,after+時間段:1)“in+時間段”只能用于一般將來時,“after+時間段”可以用于過去時和將來時2)當二者都用于將來時的時候“in+時間段”表示從現在算起在一定時間內,動作將在未來一周之內的某一個具體時間內發生。“after+時間段”是從這段時間之后算起,動作將在這段時間之后發生。
very, too, so, quite以上幾個副詞均修飾形容詞,副詞表示程度,“很,太,非常”;very應用最普遍“很”,只是一個表示程度的副詞,它表示的程度比quite要強得多,very只用來修飾形容詞和副詞的原級;too“太”,一般表示“相對某人而言”;so“如此…,那么…”,往往表明某一事物的程度時,會引起另一種后果。換言之,so所修飾的人或物表示原因后面會有表示結果的句子。So…that…如此…以致于;quite既可以表示充分肯定,意思是 “完全;十分”,也可以表示程度,意思是“完全,十分”,也可以表示程度,意思是“相當”,quite可修飾動詞,v.ing,形容詞,副詞,分詞等。quite a +adj+n. a very+adj.+n

Unit2

【知識要點5】 I’m very upset and don’t know what to do.
what to do是動詞不定式短語,它由“特殊疑問詞+動詞不定式”構成。動詞不定式短語通常在句中充當賓語,相當于一個賓語從句。比如I don’t know what to do.就相當于I don’t know what I should do. (我不知道我該做什么。)
【知識要點6】 ... but now parents seem to push their children a lot more.

Unit3
【知識要點1】 when和while
when和while這兩個詞都可以作連詞用,引導時間狀語從句,意為“當……的時候”,兩者用法區別如下:
when引導的時間狀語從句中的謂語動詞,既可以是延續性的,也可以是終止性的。例如:
When I got home, my little brother was watching TV. 我到家的時候,弟弟正在看電視。
When I was doing my homework, she came in. 我正在做作業時,她進來了。
while引導的時間狀語從句中的謂語動詞,必須是延續性的。例如:
While we were having dinner, the telephone rang. 當我們吃飯時,電話鈴響了。
若我們翻譯“當他進來時,我正在看電視。”時,只能說:
When he came in, I was watching TV.
而不能說:
While he came in, I was watching TV.
【知識要點2】 happen和take place
happen和take place都有“發生”的意思,都是不及物動詞,都沒有被動語態。兩者的不同之處在于:
happen 指某個事件的“突然發生”,主語往往是表示事件、事故的名詞或代詞。當happen后接動詞不定式或用于It happens (to sb.) that中時,則意為“碰巧”。例如:

The traffic accident happened under my eyes. 我親眼目睹了這場交通事故。
My cousin happened not to be at home. 我的表兄碰巧不在家。
take place 意為“發生;舉行”時,常指某事件是按意圖或計劃“發生”的,不含偶然的意味。例如: When did the popular concert take place? 那場流行音樂會是什么時候開始的?
Great changes have taken place in our country since 1980. 自從1980年以來,我們國家發生了翻天覆地的變化。
在不強調偶然性與計劃性的場合,兩者可以通用。例如:
What has happened / taken place? 發生了什么?
【知識要點3】 While John was walking to school, he saw a cat in a tree.
in a tree 和on a tree都意為“在樹上”,但用法不同。介詞in 意為“在……范圍內”,當表達“鳥、猴、松鼠、貓等活物停在樹上”時,用in a tree。例如:
Is there a bird in the tree? 樹上有只鳥嗎?
Look! Some monkeys are playing in the tree. 看!一些猴子正在樹上嬉耍。
當表達“蘋果、香蕉、梨等長在樹上”時,則用on a tree。例如:
There are many apples on the tree. 樹上結著許多蘋果。
【知識要點4】 She didn’t think about looking outside the station.
Each team thinks of 5 questions.
think about 與think of 的用法區別:
think about 意為“考慮; 想到(某人或某事)”。例如:
I’ll think about it. 我會考慮這件事。
Mike was thinking about his friends in the countryside. 邁克想起了他鄉下的朋友。
think of 意為“考慮;打算;醞釀;思考;想”等。例如:
I’m thinking of going to town this afternoon. 我打算今天下午進城去。
She is always thinking of others. 她總為別人著想。
當表達“對……有某種看法”時,兩者可以互換。例如:
We are thinking about / of going to Shanghai for our holidays. 我們正在考慮去上海度假的事。
What do you think of / about the film? 你認為那部影片怎么樣?
【知識要點5】 ... when they heard about the event.
... when they heard the news of important events in history.
hear 與hear about都可意為“聽說”,但用法不同。hear 后面跟賓語從句,hear about 后面跟名詞、代詞或動詞的-ing 形式。例如:
We are sorry to hear that you are ill. 聽說你病了,我們很難過。
Did you hear about the accident yesterday? 昨天那場事故你聽說了嗎?
hear 還可意為“聽見;聽到”,后接名詞、代詞、不帶to 的動詞不定式或v-ing 充當賓語補足語的復合賓語結構。例如:
He heard a knock at the door. 他聽見有人敲門。
We often hear her sing this song. 我們經常聽見她唱這首歌。
【知識要點6】 Although some people may not remember who murdered him, they remember what they were doing ...
although (= though) 是連詞,意為“雖然”,用來引導讓步狀語從句。例如:
Although it was very late, we went to meet him at the station. 雖然很晚了,但我們還是去車站接了他。
注意:although /though不能與but 連用,但although 可以與yet, still連用。
試譯:雖然他年齡大了,但他工作很努力。
【誤】 Although he was old, but he worked hard.
【正】 Although he was old, (yet) he worked hard.
【正】 He was old, but he worked hard.
