★Step 5 Language points 【语言要点】
1.take 表示“花费”的用法
固定搭配:It takes (sb.)+时间 +to do sth.做某事花费(某人)多长时间。其
中“it”作为形式主语,真正的主语是“to do sth.”。例如:It took me 3 hours to water the plants.我花了3个小时来给植物浇水。
2.辨析 for example与such as
for example
意为“比如,例如”,用来举例说明,一般只列举同类人或物中的一个,往往用逗号与句中其他成分隔开。通常用作插人语,可位于句首、句中或句末。
such as
意为“比如,例如”,用来列举同类人或物中的几个,常用在被列举的人或事物与前面的名词之间,其后一般不用逗号。
Noise,for example,is also a kind of pollution.例如,噪音也是一种污染。
3. advice 的用法
advice 为不可数名词。当表示一条建议时,可用“a/one+pieces of advice”来表示。当表示两条及两条以上的建议时,可用“数词+pieces of advice”来表示。
【拓展】advice 短语小结
a piece of advice一条建议/一个忠告
ask (sb.) for advice (on/about sth.) (向某人)征求(关于……的)建议
give sb. advice on sth.就某事给某人提建议
take/follow one’s advice听从某人的劝告/建议
4. protect 的用法
作动词,意为“保护;保卫”,后跟名词或代词作宾语。常见用法:protect sb./sth.from/
against.意为“保护某人/某物免受……(的伤害)”。例如:
We should protect the animals from danger.我们应该保护动物免遭危害。
5. hope 的用法
(1)作动词,意为“希望;期望”。常见用法:
hope to do sth.“希望做某事”。例如:We hope to win the basketball match.我们希望
赢得这场篮球赛。
hope +that 从句。例如:My parents hope that I can make my dream come true.我父
母希望我能实现我的梦想。
(2)用作名词,表示“希望”,不可数。例如:Don’t give up hope.不要放弃希望。
【拓展】hope 和 wish 的区别
wish 表示良好的“祝愿”,后面可接宾语和宾补(形容词或名词),hope 则不能这样用。例如:Wish you happiness.祝你幸福。
两者都可以跟(that)从句,hope 表示有可能实现的愿望,wish 则表示难以实现或不太可能实现的愿望。
