Module 10 On the radio
Unit 1知识点精讲
1. I’m the news director at Radio Beijing.
· Point director [daɪˈrektə(r)]/[ dɪˈrektə(r)] n.
director 意为“主管;经理;导演”,是由“ direct(v. 指挥;导演;管理)+ -or(名词后缀)”构成的。
· Zhang Yimou is a famous director in China. He has directed many popular films.
【延伸】英语中一些动词后加后缀-or 或-er 构成的名词: invent(发明)—inventor(发明家) visit(参观)—visitor(游客) sing(唱歌)—singer(歌唱家) drive(驾驶)—driver(司机)
2. Thank you for showing us around.
· Point show sb. around
show sb. around 相当于 take sb. around,意为“带某人参观;给某人做向导”。around 此处作副词,意为“到处;向各处”。
around 也可作介词,其后要接宾语。
· She showed me around and introduced me to everybody.
· Could you show us around your school?
3. When it’s on, it means we’re on air.
· Point 1 be on
be on 意为“在使用中;开着”,表示已连接、处于工作状态或使用中。on 此处作副词,其反义词为 off。
· The TV is always on in their house.
· The lights are on and the water is off.
【延伸】be on 可表示“进行;开始”,意思上同 begin 和 start 接近,但 begin 和
start 是终止性动词,不能和表示一段时间的状语连用。
· You’re late. The film has been on for ten minutes.
· Point 2 mean [miːn] v.
mean 此处作动词,其后 mean 的过去式可接名词、代词、动名词或从句。过去式及过去分词均为 meant。
· The red light means “Stop”.
· This new order will mean working overtime.
【辨析】mean to do sth. /mean doing sth.
(1) mean to do sth.
“打算或企图做某事”,其主语通常是表示人的名词或代词。
(2) mean doing sth.
“意味着做某事(即必须要做某事或导致某种结果)”,主语通常是表示事物的词。
· I didn’t mean to hurt you.
· Success means working hard.
· Point 3 on air
表示“(广播或电视)播出”。
· The radio station is on air at six every morning.
【延伸】by air 意为“乘飞机”,相当于 by plane。

4. And we should avoid making any noise in the background!

【延伸】avoid 作及物动词,还可意为“回避;避开”。
