Lesson 55
Not a gold mine
并非金礦
First listen and then answer the question.
聽(tīng)錄音,然后回答以下問(wèn)題。
What did the team find?
Dreams of finding lost treasure almost came true recently. A new machine called The Revealer has been invented and it has been used to detect gold which has been buried in the ground. The machine was used in a cave near the seashore where -- it is said -- pirates used to hide gold. The pirates would often bury gold in the cave and then fail to collect it. Armed with the new machine, a search party went into the cave hoping to find buried treasure. The leader of the party was examining the soil near the entrance to the cave when the machine showed that there was gold under the ground. Very excited, the party dug a hole two feet deep. They finally found a small gold coin which was almost worthless. The party then searched the whole cave thoroughly but did not find anything except an empty tin trunk. In spite of this, many people are confident that The Revealer may reveal something of value fairly soon.

并非金礦
最近,找到失蹤寶藏的夢(mèng)想差一點(diǎn)兒變成現(xiàn)實(shí)。一種叫“探寶器”的新機(jī)器已經(jīng)發(fā)明出來(lái),并被人們用來(lái)探測(cè)地下埋藏的金子。在靠近海邊的一個(gè)據(jù)說(shuō)過(guò)去海盜常在里面藏金子的巖洞里,這種機(jī)器被派上了用場(chǎng)。海盜們過(guò)去常把金子埋藏在那個(gè)洞里,可后來(lái)卻沒(méi)能取走。一支用這種新機(jī)器裝備起來(lái)的探寶隊(duì)進(jìn)入了這個(gè)巖洞,希望找到埋藏著的金子。當(dāng)這個(gè)隊(duì)的隊(duì)長(zhǎng)正在檢查洞口附近的土壤時(shí),那臺(tái)機(jī)器顯示出它的下面埋有金子。隊(duì)員們異常激動(dòng),就地挖了一個(gè)兩英尺深的坑,但最后找到的是一枚幾乎一錢(qián)不值的小金幣。隊(duì)員們接著又把整個(gè)洞徹底搜尋了一遍,但除了一只空鐵皮箱外什么也沒(méi)找到。盡管如此,很多人仍然相信“探寶器”很快就會(huì)探出值錢(qián)的東西來(lái)。

一句話(huà)中只有一個(gè)動(dòng)詞,如果再出現(xiàn)動(dòng)詞,可以用and并列連接,也可以變成復(fù)合句
用when,because連接,還可以使這個(gè)動(dòng)詞表示動(dòng)詞意思,但不做謂語(yǔ),即非謂語(yǔ)
動(dòng)詞
過(guò)去分詞做定語(yǔ),表示被
ploughed field
n+called
the plane called a “Pilatus Porter”
如果用短語(yǔ)修飾其他詞,則把短語(yǔ)放在被修飾詞的后邊
be used to do被用來(lái)
used to do
同位語(yǔ)從句中的引導(dǎo)詞只要一個(gè)that
under the ground
it is said是插入語(yǔ)“據(jù)說(shuō)”
used to常常
would一般表示從過(guò)去看將來(lái),但此處表示“used to”過(guò)去常做
be armed with
went into the cave
hoping to find
如果幾個(gè)句子的主語(yǔ)是同一事物,則可以把幾個(gè)句子合并為一個(gè)句子
在把握中心句子的前提下,注意其他成分的合成。如果是主動(dòng)關(guān)系,用ing形式
保留一個(gè)句子做主句,其他的變成非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞
非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞采用何種形式,則根據(jù)其與主語(yǔ)的關(guān)系,如果是主動(dòng)關(guān)系,用ing,被動(dòng)
關(guān)系,則用動(dòng)詞的ed形式
主句與其他句子的位置安排要保持句子的平衡,還要注意動(dòng)作的連貫
the boy went home。the boy was crying。the boy was beaten
beaten by sb,the boy went home,crying
形容詞短語(yǔ)做狀語(yǔ)
tired of
two feet deep數(shù)詞+量詞+形容詞
long/wide/high/deep
數(shù)詞+量詞+形容詞結(jié)構(gòu)可以做定語(yǔ);也可以做表語(yǔ)
the street is wide
the street is five meters wide
離名詞最近的形容詞是最被強(qiáng)調(diào)的
in spite of盡管
something of value
of 加名詞往往讓人聯(lián)想這名詞對(duì)應(yīng)的形容詞
of value=valuable
形容詞要放在不定代詞的后邊
something important
something of importance
someone patient
someone of patience
multiple choice
3、介詞后面要加v+ing形式
被用來(lái)做某事,有兩種表達(dá)方式
如果跟名詞相連說(shuō)be used for
如果跟動(dòng)詞相連說(shuō)be used to do+v be use
