二、重要句型或语法1、动名词本课主要对比复习第20课、第44课和第68课出现的动名词的用法,主要包括动词后的动名词、介词后的动名词以及动名词的所有格。如:You must give up smoking.He sat there without saying anything.Would you mind my opening the door?【推荐阅读】更多相关内容,请查看下面的文章:图解《新概念英语》语法之非谓语动词2、倒装句本课难点部分出现的是有关so和neither引导的倒装句,其基本用法为:So/Neither+助动词/系动词/情态动词+主语。需要注意的是,如果原句里本身就含有助动词、系动词或情态动词,倒装句中则使用同样的词语;但如果原句里没有这些词语,则要借助助动词do/does/did了。如:He can fly a plane. So can she.He isn’t able to swim across the channel. Neither is she.He reads a lot. So do I.He doesn't read much. Neither do I.【推荐阅读】更多相关内容,请查看下面的文章:either、neither、both、all、none的用法
三、课文主要语言点It must have been about two in the morning when I returned home.1)must have been,表示对过去发生的事情的猜测。2)two in the morning,零晨两点。此时一般在two后面不加o'clock。I tried to wake up my wife by ringing the doorbell, but she was fast asleep, so I got a ladder from the shed in the garden, put it against the wall, and began climbing towards the bedroom window.1)by ringing,介词后加动词,要用动词的动名词形式。2)ring the doorbell,按门铃。3)be fast asleep,睡得很熟或很沉。4)ladder,楼梯。5)shed,小屋、车棚。6)put...against...,把...靠在...上。7)注意本句话三个动作的连续,起到了一定的排比句式的作用,具有一定的强调效果,把作者动作的干脆利索形象地描述出来了。I was almost there when a sarcastic voice below said, 'I don't think the windows need cleaning at this time of the night.' I looked down and nearly fell off the ladder when I saw a policeman.1)注意这里的when表示的是“正在这时”。2)sarcastic,讽刺的。源自名词sarcasm。3)注意need的用法:当主语为sth.时,其后接动词的动名词形式,往往是主动表被动的用法,相当于need to be done。4)at this time of....,在什么时候的这个时间点。5)look down,往下看。注意该短语如果后接on,即look down on,则可表示“瞧不起;鄙视”。6)fall off,从某处摔落。I immediately regretted answering in the way I did, but I said, 'I enjoy cleaning windows at night.'1)regret doing,后悔做过某事。注意与regret to do(遗憾地要去做某事)的区别。2)in the way+从句,引导的是方式状语从句。So do I,' answered the policeman in the same tone. 'Excuse my interrupting you. I hate to interrupt a man when he's busy working, but would you mind coming with me to the station?'1)注意so引导的倒装句的结构为:So+助动词+主语。2)in the same tone,用同样的口吻或语气。tone,语气。3)excuse my interrupting you,该短语为动名词的所有格用法,即在动名词前加物主代词或名词所有格来表示所属关系。4)interrupt,打扰、打断。5)come to the station,这里的station是指the police station,即警察局。Well, I'd prefer to stay here,' I said. 'You see, I've forgotten my key.' 'Your what?' he called. 'My key,' I shouted.1)prefer to do,更喜欢或宁愿做某事。注意prefer的两种常见用法为:prefer to do...than do...;prefer doing to doing,表示“与做某事相比,更喜欢做某事”。2)forget one's key,钥匙忘拿了。3)注意your what要用升调,以凸显警察的疑问与讽刺并存的语气。4)注意call与shout都表示大叫,两个动词较为戏剧化地描述出了作者和警察当时一上一下的对叫的滑稽场景。Fortunately, the shouting woke up my wife who opened the window just as the policeman had started to climb towards me.1)注意本句话中的who应该是要改为非限定性定语从句,即要用逗号把它和先行词my wife隔开,因为my wife是具有唯一性的,而具有唯一性的先行词一般只能后接非限定性定语从句。2)just as,正当...时候。3)注意句中的start用了过去完成时,说明这个警察已经顺着楼梯往上爬了,因此就更凸显了作者的妻子开窗的及时性,诙谐的喜剧效果因此得到了体现。
四、课文摘要On arriving home early in the morning, the writer rang the doorbell but failed to wake up his wife. After having put a ladder against the wall, he tried to climb to the bedroom window, when a policeman called out. The writer told him rudely that he had forgotten his key. The shouting woke his wife, who opened the window just as the policeman started climbing the ladder after him.
五、语用文化英国房屋建筑风格罗马风格——早期基督教建筑是同拜占廷建筑同时发展起来的。其规模远不及古罗马建筑,设计施工也较粗糙,但建筑材料大多来自古罗马废墟,建筑艺术上继承了古罗马的半圆形拱券结构,形式上又略有古罗马的风格,故称为罗马风建筑。罗马风建筑于11-12世纪在西欧发展至巅峰。它外观封闭、类似城堡,门窗均为半圆形拱券,艺术造型常常通过连列券廊表现,光影生动。在建于12世纪的英国兰姆大教堂内部可以领略到臻于完美的罗马风风格。哥特式风格——罗马风建筑的进一步发展,就是12-15世纪西欧以法国为中心的哥特式建筑。“哥特(Gothic)”原是参加覆灭罗马奴隶制的日耳曼“蛮族”之一,15世纪,文艺复兴运动反对封建神权,提倡复活古罗马文化,乃把当时的建筑风格称为“哥特”,以表示对它的否定。这时期的建筑仍以教堂为主,建筑风格完全脱离了古罗马的影响,而是以尖券(来自东方)、尖形肋骨拱顶、坡度很大的两坡屋面和教堂中的钟楼、扶壁、束柱、花空棂等为其特点。英国威斯敏斯特大教堂。作为英国中世纪建筑的主要代表,威斯敏斯特教堂的建筑风格和特点,虽然在马拉松式的建造年代中不断地推移变化,从诺曼式、哥特式,一直到早期文艺复兴的式样,不过它的基本特色仍属于哥特式,所以历经700多年的修葺而犹能保持原貌,实在多亏了斯科特这样的建筑师。
六、学习建议1、有关动名词的用法,重点在于:掌握后接动名词的常见动词;区分同一个动词后接动名词和不定式的区别;动名词的所有格。2、注意本课的标题Asking for trouble(自找麻烦),作者想要表达的是:既然自己半夜爬窗,被警察发现还与警察顶嘴抬杠,这明显就是自找麻烦嘛。
