❶ (教材P82) We see a woman swimming at night in a dark sea.
我们看到一位女士晚上在黑暗的海里游泳。
“感官动词+宾语+宾补”结构
句型公式
【句式点拨】
see a woman swimming是see sb doing sth结构,表示“看到某人正在做某事”,是现在分词作宾语补足语。在此结构中,作宾补的成分还可以是不带to的不定式、过去分词等。区别如下:
(1)see sb doing→(被动sb be seen doing)看见某人正在做某事(表示动作的连续性、进行性);
(2)see sb do→(被动sb be seen to do)看到某人做了某事(看到了整个过程,表示动作的完整性);
(3)see sb/sth done→(被动sb/sth be seen done)看到某人/某事被……(和前面两个结构的区别在于,前两者中的宾语和动作之间是主动关系,这个结构中的 sb/sth和动作之间是被动关系)。
有类似用法的常见词汇还有:
watch, observe, find, notice, look at, hear, listen to, smell, taste, feel, have, get, leave等。

形容词(短语)作状语
句型公式
【句式点拨】
句中afraid of the horrible creature from the film是形容词短语作状语,在此处表示原因。形容词(短语)作状语说明句子主语的特点或主语处于某种状态,也可以表示方式、原因或伴随状况等,可位于句首或句末,常用逗号与句子其他成分隔开。
[温馨提示] 形容词(短语)作状语常表示主语的状态或结果,副词作状语常修饰动词或整个句子。如:
Unable to afford the time, I had to give up the plan.
由于抽不出时间,我只好放弃这个计划。

然而,制造一个纸袋所消耗的能源是制造一个塑料袋的四倍,所消耗的水高达制造塑料袋的三倍。
倍数表达法
句型公式
【句式点拨】
four times as much energy as…和three times the amount of…是两种倍数表达法。
常见的倍数表达法:
(1)倍数+as+many/much+n.+as
(2)倍数+as+adj./adv.+as
(3)倍数+形容词比较级/副词比较级+than
(4)倍数+the size/length/height/depth/width/amount+of
[温馨提示] 表示“两倍”时,用twice或double,三倍或三倍以上则用“基数词+times”来表达。表示倍数也可用分数或百分数。
