Language points
1. On the first evening, the three of us were tired after walking for about eight hours.
第一天晚上,步行了约八个小时之后,我们三个人都很累。
on the first evening :在第一个晚上;在第一天晚上
on(具体到某一天的早晨、中午、晚上都用on,如on the morning of 1st May, on a rainy afternoon)
the 用在数词前, 表示特指。
the three of us 指的是“我们三个人” (us = 3 );
three of us指的是“我们中的三个人”(us > 3)
队里有八个人。他们八个今晚一起吃饭。
There are eight people in the team. The eight of them will have dinner together tonight.
办公室有十个人,有八个是女的。
There are 10 people in the library and eight of them are women.
2. We soon fell asleep.
我们很快就睡着了。
fall asleep 意为“入睡;睡着”,是系表结构的短语。
其中fall用作连系动词,意为“变成,进入(某种状态)”。
» He was so tired that he fell asleep in the car.
他太累了,在汽车里睡着了。
Language points
fall asleep意为“入睡”,表示动作,侧重于“自然而然地入睡”,有时指无意之中或在不适当的场合睡着。
My father fell asleep on the
sofa.我爸爸在沙发上睡着了。
be asleep意为“睡着的”,表示一种状态,可以和表示一段时间的状语连用。
The child has been asleep for
two hours.这个孩子已经睡了
两个小时了。
【辨析】fall asleep/be asleep/go to sleep/go to bed
go to sleep意为“睡着;入睡”,表示从清醒到渐渐睡着这一过程,强调进入睡眠状态。 He always goes to sleep at eleven every night.每天晚上他总是十一点钟入睡。
go to bed表示“上床睡觉”,强调上床睡觉这个动作,无“睡着”之意,它的对应词组是get up“起床”。 We went to bed at nine and fell asleep at ten.
我们九点钟上床睡觉,十点钟入睡。
【练习】
— It’s time to work now.
— OK. I’ll wake Carl up. He ______ for an hour.
A. has fallen asleep B. has been asleep
C. fell asleep D. falls asleep
【解析】 句意:——现在工作时间到了。——好的,我把卡尔叫醒。他已经睡了一个小时了。fall asleep“入睡,睡着”是非延续性动词词组,需转换成be asleep。由于句中“for an hour”是指一段时间,动词要用延续性动词词组be asleep。故选B。
3. We should hang the food in a tree tonight.
今天晚上我们应该把食物挂在树上。
hang动词,意为“悬挂;吊”,其过去式、过去分词均为hung。
» He often hangs his schoolbag on the wall.
他经常把书包挂在墙上。
» Please hang the washing on the line.
请把洗好的衣服挂在绳上。
【拓展】
hang作动词还可表示“绞死;施以绞刑”,其过去式、过去分词均为hanged。
» He was hanged.
他被绞死了。
