Language points for real what引导感叹句 what’s more as a result used to die out as happy as a clam as dead as a dodo 1. Actually, there used to be thousands of us - for real. used to...意为“过去曾经......”，后跟动词原形，表示过去的习惯或者常态，但是现在已经不存在。 Jimmy used to live here. 吉米曾经住在这里。(现在不住在这里了) for real意为“真正地，确实地，认真地”，常用于口语，以强调所描述的事情是真实的。 This is not a joke. I am for real. 这不是开玩笑。我是认真的。 2. What a peaceful and safe life! 本句是what引导的感叹句，其基本的句子结构是What+a/an +形容词+可数名词单数+主语+谓语! What a clever boy he is! 他是个多么聪明的男孩啊! 与how引导的感叹句相比，what引导的感叹句主要强调名词，因此句型中what后面一般跟的是(a/an+)形容词+名词; 而how引导的感叹句主要强调程度，因此句型中how后面一般跟的是形容词或副词。 What a beautiful song you sing! 你唱的歌真好听! How lovely the flower is! 这朵花真美啊! What a lovely flower it is! 多美的一朵花啊! How beautifully you sing! 你唱得多么好听呀! 3. What's more, their pigs, cats and dogs ate our eggs. what's more 意为“而且，此外”，用于引出更多重要的信息。常见于列举观点、论据或事实，而且下一个观点通常更为重要或有更大的影响。 She's a hard worker and, what's more, she's very gifted. 她非常努力，而且极其有才华。 The hotel has a very beautiful view by the sea. What's more, it's very cheap. 这个酒店海景很美，而且价格非常便宜。 4. As a result, we soon died out. as a result 意为“因此”，表示后一句话是前一句话导致的结果或者造成的影响。 He hurt his leg. As a result, he didn't take part in the football match. 他伤了腿。因此，他没有参加这次足球比赛。 die out 意为“灭绝，消失”。 This animal died out millions of years ago. 这种动物在几百万年前就灭绝了。 5. Make them as happy as a clam, not as dead as a dodo. as happy as a clam是一个英文习语，省略了后面的at high water (涨潮)，意为“非常高兴的，相当满足的”。比喻像涨潮时的蛤蜊一样快乐，因为海水退潮时蛤蜊很容易被捕食，到了涨潮时则无须担心。 as dead as a dodo也是一个英文习语，意为“彻底死亡; 已经失效; 不再使用”，常用于表示一件事毫无意义。这个习语的由来便是渡渡鸟的灭绝。 Homework 调研一种已经灭绝的动物，了解这种动物的特征，曾经生活在哪里以及为什么灭绝。 抄写并记忆本节课所学单词和短语。 Thank you! null 104857.93 $$
