(1)英语中为了强调句子的某个成分或者保持句子的平衡，有时会把状语和谓语全部放在主语前面。例如: Under the tree sat an old man.一位老人坐在树下。 On the bed lies a child. 床上躺着一个孩子。 (2) here and there意为“到处;各处;零散地”。例如: She left her toys here and there.她把玩具丢得四处都是。 2. “I cannot understand why spring has not come since last year,” says the Giant. “I hope the weather changes soon.” hope意为“希望，期望，指望”。例如: I hope everything is okay.我希望一切顺利。 hope后面也可以接动词不定式。例如: Amy hopes to be a teacher. Amy希望成为一名教师。 3.But spring never comes, nor summer. nor常用于列举两个或更多相同性质的否定事物或情况，意为“也不”。nor summer的原句应该是nor does summer come。 4.I haven't heard that beautiful birdsong for a while. 句中that作副词用，用于强调其后面形容词beautiful的程度，意为“那么”。例如: She didn't think the test would be that difficult.她没想到这个测试会那么难。 5. And the trees are so glad that they have covered themselves with flowers. so... that...意为“如此……以至于……”。例如: He was so tired that he fell asleep very quickly.他累得马上就睡着了。 She sang so well that everyone knew her name.她唱得非常好，每个人都知道她的名字。 6.The birds fly about and sing with joy. fly about意为“四处飞翔”，其中about意为“到处”。例如: The kids run about in the park.孩子们在公园里到处奔跑。 7.“Fear not, little ones,” the Giant says. “It's your garden now.” 句中fear not相当于现代英语中的Don't be afraid或Do not fear，构成祈使句。这种“实义动词+not”的句型常出现在一些固定的，尤其是较古老的表达方式中。除fear之外，能直接与not连用的还有其他动词，如be，worry, doubt等。例如: Be not afraid, I am with you. 别害怕，我和你在一起。 Worry not about the future, live in the present.别为将来担心，活在当下。 Doubt not, for you have the strength within you.别怀疑，因为你有内在的力量 ★Step 6　Summary　【课堂小结】 Ask students to use the students’ self-assessment form to check what they have learned in this lesson.
