第82课 Monster of fish?

1、Fishermen and sailors sometimes claim to have seen monsters

in the sea.

claim 声称

例句：He claimed that he found the money in the forest.

2、Though people have often laughed at stories told by seamen,

it is now know that

many of these 'monsters' which have at times been sighted are

simply strange fish.

laugh at 嘲笑某人

例句：I don't think it's nice to laugh at people's disabilities.

at times 接近 sometimes, 意思是‘有时’

例句：She's really rude at times.

sight 此句中是动词，瞬间看见，猛然看见 例句：The missing woman has been sighted in the Birmingham

area.

3、Realizing that this was no ordinary fish...

此句通常的说法是：Realizing that this was not an ordinary fish...

这两种方式表达的意思完全相同，可以互换。

4、...it was found to be over thirteen feet long.

英语中 ‘数词+计量名词+形容词’ 的表达方法很常见，

例词：10 meters wide

12 inches high

6 feet tall

7 years old

5、注意如下句子中 sea 的用法：

(1）Fishermen and sailors sometimes claim to have seen

monsters in the sea. (在海上)

(2) ...unusual creatures are...rarely caught out at sea. （在大海深处） (3) A small fishing boat was carried miles out to sea. （表示往大海深处推的方向感，不同于out at sea 这种静止状态）

6、语态是动词的一种形式，用来说明主语和谓语动词之间的关系，英语中的动词有两种基本语态：主动语态和被动语态。

主动语态，表示主语是动作的执行者，被动语态表示主语是动作的承受者。

例句：She cleans her room every day. (主动语态)

Her room is cleaned every day. （被动语态）

被动语态一般用于不知道谁是动作的执行者，或者认为没有必要指出谁是动作的执行者。

例句：These bicycles are made in Shanghai.

She is often praised for her good work.

被动语态的结构：be + 动词过去分词，be 可以以各种时态出现。

例句：The Great Hall of the people was built in 1959. （一般过去时的被动语态）

The street leading to the post office is being widened. (现在进行时的被动语态) He told us that the case was being looked into. (过去进行时的被动语态)

They will be asked a great many questions during the interview.

(一般将来时的被动语态)

His recent work has been translated into English. (现在完成时的被动语态)

第81课 Escape

1、...the prisoner marched boldly up and down in front of the

camp .

up and down 来回地走来走去

例句：He started pacing up and down the office.

2、Lights were blazing and men were running here and there.

here and there 随处可见，到处都是

例句：Panic here and there was only to be expected.

3、The officers got out and the prisoner stood to attention...

当士兵和警察 stand to attention 或 stand at attention, 意思是他们立正行礼。 例句：We were ordered to stand to attention.

4、He was rather elderly with grey hair and clear blue eyes.

elderly 意思与 old 相近，但用来表达年纪更显得礼貌和委婉

例句：The coach was full of elderly ladies having a good time.

the elderly 指老人

例句：The elderly and the frail need extra care.

5、注意课文中介词的用法：

(1) ...the prisoner of war quickly dragged him into the bushes.

(2) Working rapidly in the darkness, he soon changed into the

dead man's clothes.

(3) ...dressed in a blue uniform and with a rifle over his

shoulder,...

be dressed in 表示 身着什么衣服

with 表示一种伴随性的物件

over 有斜跨在肩膀上的意思

(4) He could hear shouting in the camp itself. in 表示地点，在......里面

(5) At that moment, a large back car with four officers inside it

stopped at the camp gates.

第一个at 表示时间，最后一个at 表示地点

with 表示伴随的人或者物

inside 在......里面

(6) ...the driver of the car came towards him.

towards 朝向

(7) The prisoner felt sorry for him...

feel sorry for sb. 为某人感到遗憾

(8) ...the prisoner knocked him to the ground with a sharp blow.

to 这里也有‘朝向’的意思

(9) Then, jumping into the car, he drove off as quickly as he

could.

jump into 跳进

drive off 开走 6、英语中的介词一般后面要跟一个名词，或者相当于名词的词来构成介词词组，这样构成的介词词组在句子中通常有三种作用：

（1）做名词的后修饰成分

例句：a woman in white

（2）做句子的状语

例句：I get up early in the morning.

（3）做补语或者表语

例句：I'm very grateful for your help.

7、从意义上来说，英语中的介词除了表示时间和地点之外，很多时候还可以用来表达原因，目的，方式，工具等等。

例句：Our train arrived at New York at midnight. (地点)

We look forward to her arrived at Christmas. (时间)

Don't aim your gun at me. (目标)

They're praying for peace. (目的)

She keeps health by jogging every day. (方式)

Hundred of people died of the disease. (原因) A lot of people volunteered to donate their blood out

of sympathy. (动机)
