Module 7 Great books
重点句型
I want to join an Internet group to discuss great books by great writers.
我想加入一个网络群讨论名著,列出一系列的伟大作家。
· 基本用法
1. join后通常要接某个组织,指正式成为组织的成员,如 join the army 意为:参军。
join in后面通常接某种活动,多指参加正在进行的活动;take part in也指参加活动,但是不强调正在进行
的活动。如:
They are going to join in the singing.
他们将参加唱歌。
Let’s take part in the game.
我们加入这个游戏吧。
2. to discuss great books是动词不定式在句中作目的状语。
I accept that they’re great because their works are still read by many people
today.
我承认他们是伟大的,因为现在许多人仍然看他们的著作。
· 基本用法
这句话是that引导的宾语从句,其中accept作动词,意为“接受;承认;认可,认为”。accept sth. 意为
“接受某物”;accept后一般不接不定式,要表示“接受做某事”,可用agree to do sth.。如:
He accepted the gift that she gave.
他接受了她给的礼物。
His idea was such a good one that we all agreed to use it.
他的主意很好,我们都接受这么做。(此时不用accept)
· 知识拓展--词义辨析:accept/receive
receive 表示客观上收到某物,而accept则表示主观上的接收。
I received an expensive gift from my friend yesterday, but I did not accept it.
昨天我收到了朋友的一件贵重礼物,但我并没有接受它。
But I think I’d describe Confucius more as a teacher and thinker than a writer.
但是我更愿意把孔子描述为教师兼思想家,而非作家。
· 基本用法
1. would do sth.在这里表示“愿意/宁愿做某事”。如:
I would do anything before that.
我宁愿做任何事,就是不想做那件事。
2. describe…as… 意为“把…描述成…”。如:
The novel was described as well written.
据说该部小说写得很好。
…but I suppose he isn’t as well as known as Confucius or Shakespeare.…
…但是我认为他没有孔夫子或莎士比亚那样著名。
· 基本用法
1. suppose作动词,意为“猜想,认为”,其后可跟宾语从句。如:
Let’s suppose he is right.让我们嘉定他是对的。
suppose还可以引导条件状语从句,此时suppose必须置于主句之前;但supposing用作连词引导条件状语
从句时,则可置于主句之前,也可置于主句之后。如:
Suppose we miss the train, what shall we do?
假如我们误了火车,我们将怎么办?
Supposing he can’t come, who will do the work?
假使他不能来,这工作谁做?
We’d love to come and see you on Saturday, supposing I don’t have to work that day.
我想星期六来看你,假若那天我不上班的话。
2. not as/so…as意为“比不上”,中间常用形容词或副词原级。如:
This book isn't as/so new as that one.这本书不如那本书新。
as…as 意为“与…一样”,中间也常用形容词或副词原级。如:
