Exercises1.WhydidWeiFenfinditdifficulttolearnEnglish?finditdifficult/hardtodosth.發(fā)現(xiàn)做某事很困難findit+adj.+todosth.發(fā)現(xiàn)做某事很……【活學活用】1)Ifoundit__________(interest)totalkwithmygrandfather.2)

Ifoundithardforme___________(improve)spokenEerestingtoimprovefindit+adj.todosth.中的it是形式賓語,形容詞做賓補,todosth.是真正的賓語。同類的動詞還有think,feel,consider等。2.IwanttolearnnewwordsandmoregrammarsothatIcanhaveabetterunderstandingofEnglishmovies.sothat“以便，為了”（從句中常用can,could，would，may等）。e.g.Sheworkedhardsothateverythingwouldbereadyintime.她努力工作，為的是及時做好各項準備。Ididn’thavelunchsothatIwouldbehungrytonight.我不吃午飯，為的就是讓自己今晚能感到饑餓。3.Iwasafraid

toaskquestionsbecauseofmypoorpronunciation.

afraid用作形容詞，“害怕的；畏懼的”，在句中只能作表語。含afraid的常用結(jié)構(gòu)有：

beafraidofsb./sth.

“害怕某人/物”。e.g.I’mafraidofmymother.Janeisafraidofdogs.beafraidofdoing/todosth.

“害怕做某事”e.g.Monaisafraidofwalking/towalkaloneatnight.4.Idiscoveredthatlisteningtosomethinginterestingisthesecrettolanguagelearning.

discoverv.發(fā)現(xiàn);發(fā)覺指偶然或經(jīng)過努力發(fā)現(xiàn)原來客觀存在但不為人所知的事物。

e.g.

ColumbusdiscoveredAmericain1492.【辨析】inventv.

發(fā)明通過勞動運用聰明才智“發(fā)明/創(chuàng)造”出以前從未存在過的新事物。e.g.Edisoninventedtheelectriclight.5.Ialsolearnedusefulsentenceslike“It’sapieceofcake”or“Itservesyouright.”apieceofcake和servessb.right是英語中的兩個習慣用語,也可稱作習語idiom(s)。同漢語中的成語類似,習語是人們在長期的語言運用中約定俗成的一種固定表達方式,其意思往往不是字面所表達的含義。apieceofcake表示事情非常簡單、易于解決,相當于漢語的“小菜一碟;小事一樁”;servessb.right則相當于漢語說某人“活該”。6.ButbecauseIwantedtounderstandthestory,Ilookedthemupinadictionary.

lookup查閱，其賓語可為名詞或代詞。當賓語為名詞時，該名詞可位于up之后，也可位up之前；當其賓語為代詞時，該代詞位于look和up之間。“名詞放兩邊，代詞放中間”e.g.Youcanlookupanewword/lookanew
