Unit4 I used to be afraid of the dark.
1. What’s he like now?
结构: What’s +sb./sth.+like? 某人/某物什么样?
表示某人/某物什么样的句型:
人:① What’s+人+like? 询问性格/外貌
②What does/do +人+look like? 询问外貌
③How+be +人? 询问身体状况
物: ① What’s +物+like?
②What does/do +物+look like?
③How+be+物?
以上都是询问属性、形状、大小或质量等
Eg:-What’s your new bike like?=How’s your new bike?
-Very good.
2. This party is such a great idea!
Such (adj)那么的;这样的
辨析: such与so
Such是形容词,修饰名词/名词短语
①such+a(n)+(形容词+)单数可数名词
Eg: such a (good) holiday
②(形容词+)复数可数名词
Eg: such (beautiful) girls
③(形容词+)不可数名词
Eg: such (delicious) food
So是副词,修饰形容词/副词
Eg: so careful so carefully
注意: 当名词前有many,much,few,little 等词修饰时,只能用so,不能用such.
Eg: She will have so much housework to do tomorrow
Such+a(n)+adj+可数名词单数=so+adj+a(n)+可数名词单数
Eg:It is so interesting a book that I like it very much.
It is such an interesting book that I like it very much.
3.As she got better,she dared to sing in front of her class,and then for the whole school.
dare (实义动词) 敢于;胆敢 (可以有词形变化)
Eg: I wonder how he dares to say such things.
dare(情态动词) 敢 (通常用于疑问句/否定句及if/whether之后,一般不用于肯定句)
Eg:Dare you tell her the truth?
I don’t know whether he dare try.
“I dare say” 习惯说法 (用于肯定句) 所表示的是一种不确定的语气,常译为:很可能、大概、我想等
Eg: I dare say you are right. 我想你是正确的
4.Now she’s not shy anymore and loves singing in front of crowds.
Not...anymore=not...any more 相当于no more
(一般指行为/动作不再出现)
辨析: not...any more 与not...any longer
not...any more 相当于no more,表示数量和程度上的 “不再”,通常修饰非延续性动词,一般指今后 “不再”,故多用于将来时
Eg: He will not go there any more.
He will no more go there.
not...any longer 相当于no longer 指时间上/距离上的 “不再延长”,通常修饰延续性动词,多指现在的情况与过去相比,故常用于现在时态
Eg: You can’t stay here any longer.
You can no longer stay here.
5.You really require a lot of talent and hard work to succeed.
require (v) 需要;需求 requirement (n)要求;规定
用法如下:
①require sb.to do sth. 要求某人做某事
②require that+sb.(should) do sth. 要求某人做某事
③sth. require doing /to be done.某事需要(被)做
6.Only a very small number of people make it
