一些听众朋友反应本期习题很难,希望能得到详细的讲解,那么今天就对第12课的习题讲解。
习题一:Please complete the following sentences.
1 我希望能与他促膝相谈,可是当我到他家时找不到他,我有点失望。
I hoped to have a talk face to face with him , but I let my face fall at not finding 1 him on my arrival 2 at his building.
【解析】
(1)"谈话"的动词短语是have a talk 或者是take a talk。
(2)与......促膝,与......面对面的短语是 toe to toe with 或者是face to face with 这2个短语做状语用,做方式状语。与......促膝相谈的表述就是have a talk face to face with, take a talk toe to toe with。
(3) “到达”的介词短语:on one's arrival 或者是upon one's arrival , 进一步说到达某处,跟表示“到达”的动词短语一样,如果是小地方就是:on/upon one's arrival at somewhere;如果是大地方就是:on/upon one's arrival in somewhere。
(4)该句中是因“自己的行为”而失望,所以用介词at,也可以用about再加上否定结构的动名词,否定结构的动名词结构就是在动名词的前面加上not即可。
2 秘书对自己未能如愿获得提薪而深感失望。
The secretary let her face fall of not getting increased pay that she had hoped for.
【解析】
(1) 该句是因“实现不了自己的愿望”而失望,用介词of,即:let one's face fall of something。
(2)not getting 介词of 后面跟否定结构的动名词。
(3) 提薪:increased pay。Increased与pay存在着被动关系,所以用increase这个实义动词的过去分词increased,不能现在分词increasing。
(4)that she had hoped for 是定语从句修饰前面的pay。Pay 是先行词,在从句中做介词for的宾语,那么就要用关系代词,表示物关系代词有2个:that和which,关系代词在定语从句中作宾语的话,就只能是that, 而不能用which。其实that是可以省略的,但是既然题目中有空格,就要填上。如果把for提到定语从句的句首,那么就要用which了,即:for which, 这时,不能用for that。因此这个句子可以这样说:The secretary let her face fall of not getting increased pay for which she had hoped.
(5)既然有从句,就有主句,那么就要考虑主句与从句的时态呼应。“希望能加工资”在“失望”之前,而且2个动作相距的时间很长,所以定语从句中要用过去完成时,所以要填had。如果相距的时间很短,几乎同时发生,用一般现在时即可。
习题二:请找出下面句子中的错误并改正过来。
1 He lets his face to fall by not getting the job, but he gets above it. 正确表述:He lets his face fall at(about) not getting the job, but he will get over it.
【解析】
要知道这句子的错误,首先要理解这句话的意思。这句话意思是:他因没得到这份工作而失望,但是很快就会过去的。
(1)by 要改为about 或者是at,因为本句式表述“因为自己的行为而失望”,而不是“因为某一事实或情况而失望”。
(2)above改为over,get over是从.....中恢复过来,克服的意思,是一个固定动词短语。
(3)第二个分句要用一般将来时,即:he will get over it. 这个句子是用表示转折关系的连词but连接的2个分词,第一个分句用的是一般现在时,lets,那么根据句子意思,他现在是失望的,那么要过一段时间才调整好心态,不失望,因此第二个分句要用一般将来时。
2 John lets my face fall because he makes the same mistakes over and over. 正确表述为:John makes my face fall because he makes the same mistakes over and over.
【解析】
要知道这句话的错误,还是先来看看这句话的意思。这句话的意思是:John一而再,再而三的犯同样的错误,真是令我失望。 这里呢,就要注意let one's face fall使用的情景。Let one's face fall是用于某个人自己失望的情况下,而要说使得别人失望,要用使役动词make,即这个短语:make one's face fall。 因此,将lets改为makes。
地道美语是地道,说得好老外真会觉得你英语不同凡响,用得不好会产生歧义,误会。所以,一定要掌握好街头语的使用环境或情境。例如:有什么新鲜事儿?我们可以用what's new? 但是这个适用于亲密朋友之间,如果您在皇室贵族官员面前使用,那就闯大祸了。
