拓展提升
Language points
1. Panda keepers are preparing milk for the baby pandas' breakfast.
prepare...for “为...准备…”
e.g. I'll prepare some drinks and snacks for you.
prepare for “为...做准备”
e.g. The students are busy preparing for the final exam.
学生们忙于为期末考试做准备。
2. ...they find that most of the babies are already awake and hungry.
awake “醒着的”,常用于be,stay, keep之后,做表语。其反义词为asleep“睡着的”
e.g. It's twelve at night. He is still awake.
晚上12点了,他还是醒着的。
注意:awake不用于名词前做定语。
e.g. I was so excited that I was awake (wake) the whole night.
我太兴奋了以至于整晚都是醒着的。
3. …they run over to them with excitement and some of the young pandas even walk into their friends and fall over!
run over “跑上前去,跑过去”
over adv.穿越;从……的一边到另一边
e.g. She ran over to say hello, but I didn't recognize her.
她跑过来打招呼,但我没有认出她来.
walk into “(走路时意外)撞上”
e.g. As he was thinking too deeply and not paying attention to where he was going, he walked straight into a tree.
4.Another 300 or so live in zoos or ...
another “另一;又一”,常放在数词之前。another +基数词+名词
=基数词+other/more+名词。
e.g. We stayed there for another three days.=We stayed there for three other/more days.
我们在那儿又待了三天。
or so “大约”,位于数词或者表示时间的名词之后,相当于about或around(常放于数词或表示时间的名词之前)
e.g. There are 40 students or so in the playground.
大约有四十名学生在操场。
5.The babies often die from illnesses and do not live very long.
die from 通常指由于外部原因(事故、缺乏食物等)造成的死亡
e.g. He died from an accident. 他死于一场车祸。
die of 通常指由于人体自身原因(年老、忧伤等)造成的死亡
e.g. His mother died of sorrow. 他的母亲因过度悲伤而亡。
23002
illness “疾病;病”,通常指因病而导致的不健康的状态
e.g. He cannot come because of illness.他因病不能来。
ill(adj.生病的)+ness(名词后缀)=illness(n.疾病)
英语中有些形容词加后缀-ness可构成名词,表示性质、状态
kind-kindness(仁慈),good-goodness(善良)
23002
6. Scientists say there are now fewer than 2,000 pandas living in the forests.
“There be+ sb./sth.+doing sth.+地点”表示“某地有某人或某物正在做某事”。其中doing sth.是后置定语,与其修饰的词是逻辑上的主谓关系,表示人与动作是主动关系。
在there be句型中,当主语为多个并列的名词时,be动词的形式与离它最近的名词保持一致,即遵循“就近原则”。
e.g. There are some people picking apples on the farm.
在农场上有一些人正在摘苹果。
There is a science lab and two libraries in my school.
= There are two libraries and a science lab in my school.
我的学校有一个科学实验室和两个图书馆。
