Grammar≈4c
语法重点一
Candy told me that she used to be really shy and took up
singing to deal with her shyness.坎迪告诉我她曾经很害羞,
是通过唱歌来战胜羞怯。
deal with和do with两者意义都可以理解为“处理、对
待”,但使用时区别在于:
how to deal with sth
What to do with sth
如:How do you deal with your sadness?
What do you do with your sadness?
She dared to sing in front of her class.
语法重点二
她害怕在全班同学面前唱歌。
注意in front of和in the front of的区别。前者
意义是“在前面(不包含)”,后者意义是“在前面
(包含)”
如:There is a tree in front of the house.
There is a blackboard in the front of the
classroom.
语法重点三:
I didn't use to be popular in school ,but
now I get tons of attention everywhere I go.
以前在学校我没有人气,但是现在我去每一个地
方,都得到极大的关注。
汉语里“尽管”和“但是”能一起用,但英语里
“though(although)”和“but”不能一起用。
如:Though he is very young,he is very
smart.
语法重点四:
Too much attention can also be a bad
thing.
太多关注可能也是一件坏事。
too much“太多”,修饰名词。
如:There is too much water on the groud.
much to0“太”,修饰形容词、副词。
