二、每课一句
-What's in it? - A piece of cheese.
注意其中的a piece of,这是本课侧重学习的重点内容:表量的名词。
英语中,不可数名词的量通常通过表量的名词来表达。
按照表量名词的性质,可以分为:
1)按名词形状分,如:piece, bar, loaf。
2)按名词份量分,如:pound, kilogram, litre。
3)按包装容器分,如:box, bag, tin。
4)按行为动态分,如:fit, flash, display。
其用法为:
a+表量的名词+of+不可数名词
如:
a bar of chocolate (一块巧克力)
a pound of sugar (一磅白糖)
a box of milk (一盒牛奶)
a fit of laughter (一阵大笑)
其复数的用法为:
基数词+表量名词的复数+of+不可数名词
其中,表量的名词的复数前也可以不加任何数词。如:
three bars of chocolate (三块巧克力)
two pounds of sugar (两磅白糖)
ten boxes of milk (十盒牛奶)
fits of laughter (阵阵大笑)
此外,表量的名词也可以修饰可数名词。如:
a bag of books (一袋书)
three boxes of pens (三盒笔)
三、更多拓展
Is that tin of tobacco for me?
注意该句中的for表示“为...”,其用法为:
sth. be for sb.
如:
These pens are for you.
这些钢笔是给你的。
The bookshelf is for my daughter.
这个书架是给我女儿的。
