課文內(nèi)容:
Aeroplanes are slowly driving me mad. I live near an airport and passing planes can be heard night and day. The airport was built years ago, but for some reason it could not be used then. Last year, however, it came into use. Over a hundred people must have been driven away from their homes by the noise. I am one of the few people left. Sometimes I think this house will be knocked down by a passing plane. I have been offered a large sum of money to go away, but I am determined to stay here. Everybody says I must be mad and they are probably right.
精講筆記:
7.Sometimes I think this house will be knocked down by a passing plane.
有時(shí)候我覺得我的房子會(huì)被一架飛過的飛機(jī)撞倒,
語言點(diǎn)1 此句的核心語法點(diǎn)是將來時(shí)的被動(dòng)語態(tài),結(jié)構(gòu)為:will be done (+by...)
語言點(diǎn)2 比較學(xué)習(xí)home和house:
home家(具有感情色彩):East or west, home is the best.金窩銀窩不如自己的狗窩。. house房子(僅僅是居住的地方)
語言點(diǎn)3 knock down =knock over 撞倒
knock out撞昏,knock off下班。
8.I have been offered a large sum of money to go away, but I am determined to stay here.
他們提出要給我一筆可現(xiàn)的補(bǔ)償讓我搬走,但我決定留下來。
語言點(diǎn) (1) offer作動(dòng)詞意為“提供;給予;貢獻(xiàn);愿意;出價(jià)”:
offer a few ideas提出幾點(diǎn)意見;offer to help sb.表示愿意幫助某人
(2) offer作名詞指在求職、留學(xué)申請等情況的錄取通知
He is expecting tiie ofifer of Harvard University day and night 他日夜都在期待著哈佛大學(xué)的錄取通知書。
9.Everybody says I must be mad and they are probably right.
大家都說我肯定是瘋了,也許他們說的是對的。
語言點(diǎn)1 再次強(qiáng)調(diào),everybody作主語時(shí)必須視為單數(shù)形式,對應(yīng)的謂語動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)。
語言點(diǎn)2 probably (adv.很可能地)修飾right (adj.對的),相當(dāng)于must be right。
