Unit 11 Sad movies make me cry.
知识点讲解
一、 I’d rather go to the Blue Lagoon Restaurant because I like to listen to quiet music while I’m eating. 我更愿意到蓝海洋餐厅,因为我喜欢在吃饭时听轻音乐。
would rather意为"宁愿;宁可;更喜欢",后跟动词原形,常用来表示选择的意愿。没有人称和数的变化,其中would常缩写成’d形式。
1、肯定句:would rather do sth. =prefer to do sth.
例句: I would rather stay at home because it’s cold outside.
我宁愿待在家里,因为外面很冷。
2、否定句:would rather not do sth. 宁愿不做某事
例句:He’d rather not say anything. 他宁愿什么也不说。
3、疑问句:将would提到句首
例句: Would you rather stay at home or play tennis with us?
你是愿意待在家里还是和我们去打网球?
【知识拓展】
1、would rather常与than连用,构成would rather...than...,意为"宁愿……而不愿……",would rather和than后都接动词原形;如后面的动词(短语)相同,那么than后面的动词(短语)可以省略。
例句: I’d rather take the slowest train than go there by air.
我宁愿坐最慢的火车也不愿坐飞机去那里。
2、 would do sth rather than do sth = prefer to do sth rather than do sth
宁愿做某事而不愿做某事(表示在两者之间进行选择)
例句:I would buy a new car rather than repair a second-hand one.
我宁愿买一辆新车也不愿去修一辆二手的。
【例题】My brother would rather at home than soccer with us.
A . stay; play B . to stay; play C . staying; to play
【答案】A
【解析】句意:我哥哥宁愿待在家里也不愿和我们一起踢足球。考查固定短语。would rather do than do“宁愿做也不愿做”,为固定短语。两个动词都用原形,故选A。
二、Waiting for Amy drove Tina crazy. 等候艾米使蒂娜发狂。
drive v. 迫使
1、drive sb. + adj. 使某人怎样
2、drive sb. crazy/mad=make sb. crazy 使某人发疯/发狂
3、drive sb. to do sth. 驱使某人做某事
例句:That thing almost drives me crazy. 那件事几乎要使我发狂了。
三、The movie was so sad that it made Tina and Amy cry. 这部电影如此悲伤以至于蒂娜和艾米都哭了。
"主语+谓语+so +adj./adv. +that +句子"引导结果状语从句,"如此……以至于……"。
【易混辨析】
so...that.../so that
(1)so+形容词或副词+that ...引导肯定的结果状语从句,表示"如此……以至于……"。
例句:I studied so hard that I got the first place. 我如此地努力以至于得了第一名。
so+形容词或副词+that ...引导否定的结果状语从句,表示"如此……以至于不能……"。
(2)so that"以便……;为了……",引导目的状语从句。从句中常使用can / could / may / might / will / would /should等情态动词或助动词。
例句:I study hard so that I can have a good future. 我努力学习是为了能有美好的未来。
