★学以致用★
1.though的用法
作连词,意为“虽然;但是”,引导让步状语从句,且不能与but同时使用。
【注意】though引导的让步状语从句既可放在主句前,也可放在主句后,但 although引导的让步状语从句通常放在主句前。
虽然交通阻碍了我们,我们还是准时到达了机场。
Though/Although the traffic held us up,we got to the airport on time.
2. 【辨析】loud,loudly与aloud
(1)loud作形容词,意为“(声音)响亮的”;loud还可作副词,意为“大声地;响亮地”,侧重发出的声音音量大,传得远,常用来修饰speak,talk,laugh等动词。
(2)loudly作副词,表示“响亮地;大声地”,含喧闹的意味,常与argue,ring,knock等动词连用。
(3)aloud作副词,表示“出声地;大声地”,强调发出的声音能被听见,常与read,call等动词连用。
①乔在隔壁大声地唱歌。
Joe sang in a loud voice in the next room.
②The girl has a very good pronunciation when she reads aloud (loud/loudly/aloud).
3.It produces electricity for millions of people in China.它为中国数百万的人口供电。
当million前面有具体数词修饰时,要用单数形式,即:数词+million+名词;当million前面没有具体数词时,表示概指,要用复数形式,且后面加of短语,即: millions of+名词。
【注意】hundred,thousand,billion与million的用法相同。
