Mainpointsof

DialogueB1.WangLing,asalesman,callstospeaktoMrBlack,themanageroftheWrightCompany,MrBlackisnotinandhissecretaryanswers.

asalesman和themanageroftheWrightCompany分別是WangLing和MrBlack的同位語(yǔ)。

answer后面省略了賓語(yǔ)thephone/call,于是我們又發(fā)現(xiàn)一個(gè)詞組：answerthephone/call。象這類隱藏起來(lái)的詞組希望同學(xué)們慧眼識(shí)別。另外，聽到門鈴或敲門聲去開門是answerthedoor;寫回信是answertheletter或writeback。

Mainpointsof

DialogueB2.Yousee,…

yousee的作用有點(diǎn)類似于youknow，只是意思更實(shí)在，可以譯成“你看”，也可以不譯，用于向別人說明自己的看法、處境等。3.Yourproductsareofgreatintereststome.

不要譯成“你們的產(chǎn)品對(duì)我很感興趣”。

beinterestedin也是“對(duì)…感興趣”，區(qū)別在于sth.beofinterest(n.)tosb.，sb.beinterested(adj.)insth.

Mainpointsof

DialogueB4.Wouldyoupleasegivemesomeinformationonyournewproductsforouradvertisingprogram?

注意介詞的用法。on表示內(nèi)容，也可以換成about。for表示目的。

eg.abook/reporton/aboutinternet一本/份有關(guān)國(guó)際互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的書/報(bào)告

另外，這句話中含有雙賓語(yǔ)結(jié)構(gòu)：

Wouldyouplease

give

me

someinformation?

及物動(dòng)詞

間接賓語(yǔ)

直接賓語(yǔ)

itisn’talwaysnecessarilyso!

Although/though是連詞，意思都是“盡管，雖然”，引導(dǎo)讓步狀語(yǔ)從句。

eg.Althoughsheisinpoorhealth,sheworksjustashardaseveryoneelse.

盡管體弱多病，她工作還是和別人一樣努力。

Thoughtheyarequitetiredafteraday’swork,theystill(不能用but)gototheirnightclasses.雖然工作了一天已經(jīng)十分疲倦，他們還是趕到夜校去上課。

thinkofas認(rèn)為是…

isthoughtofas…顯然是被動(dòng)結(jié)構(gòu)。同學(xué)們?cè)陬A(yù)習(xí)課文并劃詞組時(shí)要練習(xí)識(shí)別這類詞組。think是不規(guī)則動(dòng)詞，其原形、過去式、過去分詞變化如下：think—

thought—thought。

executive本意為“總經(jīng)理；總裁”，在本句中引伸譯為“老板”。后面省略了isoftenthoughtof。有一句關(guān)于英語(yǔ)的諺語(yǔ)說“簡(jiǎn)潔是英語(yǔ)的精華”“BrevityisthesoulofEnglish”.

2.Intheearlydaysofofficework,mostsecretariesweremalebecausewomenwereconsideredtooweakforsuchhardactivities.

這句話說的是以前的事，故用一般過去時(shí)態(tài)，特征是將動(dòng)詞變?yōu)檫^去式，在本句中是are—were。和過去分詞一樣，動(dòng)詞過去式的不規(guī)則的變化要逐個(gè)記憶。一般過去時(shí)態(tài)的句式變化如下：

TheyvisitedthePalaceMuseumyesterday.

Theydidn’tvisitthePalaceMuseumyesterday.

DidtheyvisitthePalaceMuseumyesterday?

Yes,theydid.//No,theydidn’t.

Wheredidtheyvisityesterday?

Male(男性)的反義詞我們也學(xué)過。在DialogueAofUnit4的場(chǎng)景中，Lizzywantstojointheschoollibrary.麗齊想辦理學(xué)校的借書證。Thelibrarianaskshertofillinaform.圖書管理員讓她填一張表，其中有一條：sex:female性別：女。Areyouamaleorfemale?你是male還是female？Here’sajoke(笑話)foryou.在一次世界小姐的選美比賽上，一位上年紀(jì)的男主持人指著臺(tái)上的八位候選者說：這是一個(gè)秘密大曝光的時(shí)代，Letmetellyouasecret(秘密).Ofallthesebeautiful(美麗的)girls,sevenaremydaughters(女兒)(pause停頓)andoneismyson(兒子).3.Nowthereisanincreaseinthenumberof(mencomingintothesecretarialfield).

comingintothesecretarialfield是現(xiàn)在分詞短語(yǔ)做后置定語(yǔ)修飾名詞men。

Jobsandcareersarenolongerdecidedbysex,butbyability.

nolonger意為“不再”。

eg.Flyingtothemoonwasnolongeradream.飛上月球已不再是夢(mèng)想。aredecidedby…是被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)，by交待了動(dòng)作的發(fā)出者。你不妨把bedecidedby“由…決定”當(dāng)詞組記憶。

5.Aslongasthepersonhasthequalityofbeingagoodsecretary,heorshewillbeabletogetthejob.

of是介詞，后面如有動(dòng)詞須變成動(dòng)名詞。一般將來(lái)時(shí)態(tài)的助動(dòng)詞will后面動(dòng)詞必須用原形。

6.Agoodsecretaryshouldbeexcellentinofficeduties.

should是情態(tài)動(dòng)詞，后面動(dòng)詞必須用原形。

beexcellentin“在優(yōu)秀”，我們還學(xué)過幾個(gè)類似的詞組：

begoodat在某方面表現(xiàn)好

MissLiisgoodatoralEnglish(英語(yǔ)口語(yǔ)).

beskilledin擅長(zhǎng)

Mysecretaryisskilledinwritingbusinessreport(商務(wù)報(bào)告).

7.Forexample,whenthebosshasanurgentbudgetmeeting,thesecretaryshouldnotdisturbhim.

forexample“例如”，用于舉例，位于句中時(shí)前后要加逗號(hào)，可縮略成eg.；theboss是第三人稱單數(shù)形式，故后面的have變成has；urgent開頭發(fā)音是元音，故前面的不定冠詞a變成an；should是情態(tài)動(dòng)詞，后面動(dòng)詞必須用原形。

8.Ifthebossisgoingtogiveadinnerparty,……

isgoingto+動(dòng)詞原形也是將來(lái)時(shí)的一種形式。

9.……h(huán)eorsheshouldmakethereservationaheadoftimeinanappropriaterestaurant.

makethereservation“進(jìn)行預(yù)訂”，意同reserve,但較正式。

aheadoftime“提前”，在匹配題中可與inadvance互相解釋。匹配題屬常考題型(如第一單元練習(xí)六)，意義相同或類似的詞或詞組正屬出題范圍，請(qǐng)同學(xué)們留意。10.

Goodsecretariesshouldalsopayattentiontotheirappearanceanddressfashionablyandneatly.…speakaforeignlanguagefluently.

用副詞作狀語(yǔ)修飾動(dòng)詞，注意別錯(cuò)用成形容詞。
