★学以致用★
1.silent的用法
作形容词,意为“寂静的”。
【注意】silence作不可数名词,意为“寂静;无声”。常用短语in silence,意为“安静地;沉默地”。
The girl is always very silent (silence)in class.
2.nearly的用法
作副词,意为“几乎;差不多”。
汤姆几乎每个周末都看一场比赛。
Tom watches a match nearly every weekend .
3. remain的用法
作不及物动词,意为“逗留;留下”。
【拓展】remain还可作连系动词,意为“保持不变;仍是”,后接形容词、名词、分词或介词短语作表语。
①昨天整个下午金小姐都待在她的办公室里。
Miss King remained in her office all afternoon yesterday.
②整个夏天这个房间都保持凉爽。
The room remains cool all summer.
4.If you put the two tallest buildings in the world on top of each other at the bottom of the canyon,they still would not reach the top.如果你把世界上最高的两座建筑物叠放在一起放在峡谷底部,它们仍旧到不了(峡谷)顶端。
