每课一句：新概念第2册第37课
【往期回顾】
今天我们接着来看第37课的“每课一句”。
一、课文原文
Lesson 37 The Olympic Games
The Olympic Games will be held in our country in four years' time. As a great many people will be visiting the country, the government will be building new hotels, an immense stadium, and a new Olympic-standard swimming pool. They will also be building new roads and a special railway line. The Games will be held just outside the capital and the whole area will be called 'Olympic City'. Workers will have completed the new roads by the end of this year. By the end of next year, they will have finished work on the new stadium. The fine modern buildings have been designed by Kurt Gunter. Everybody will be watching anxiously as the new buildings go up. We are all very excited and are looking forward to the Olympic Games because they have never been held before in this country.

二、每课一句
Workers will have completed the new roads by the end of this year.
注意句中的by the end of，它后面如果接的是将来时间，句子的谓语动词要采用将来完成时；如果后面接的是过去时间，句子的谓语则采用过去完成时。比如：
They had already learned 6000 English words by the end of last month.
此外，要注意同样是时间状语，同样是由by the end of引导，当时间状语置于句首时，往往会用逗号隔开，起到更好的强调作用。比如：
By the end of next year, they will have finished work on the new stadium.
这句话中的by the end of next year就用逗号隔开了，这样可以突出后面句子的内容，强调到明年年底会发生什么事情。
三、更多拓展
The Olympic Games will be held in our country in four years' time.
注意句中的in four years' time是一般将来时的标志性时间状语，表示“四年之后”。其用法为：in+一段时间+'s+time，比如：
The train will leave in five hours' time.
