Grammarfocus語(yǔ)法1.The'taxi'isasmallSwissaeroplanecalleda'PilatusPorter'.這輛“出租汽車”是一家小型瑞士飛機(jī)，叫“皮勒特斯·波特”號(hào)。calleda'PilatusPorter'.是一個(gè)過去分詞短語(yǔ)，在句中作修飾和限定aeroplane的后置定語(yǔ)。這句話也可以改成一個(gè)定語(yǔ)從句：The'taxi'isasmallSwissaeroplanewhichiscalleda'PilatusPorter'.Swiss在句中作形容詞，表示瑞士的。Swiss作名詞時(shí)，表示瑞士人。瑞士Switzerland，首都是伯爾尼Bern。瑞典Sweden，首都是斯德哥爾摩Stockholm。Swedish作形容詞表示瑞典的，作名詞時(shí)表示瑞典人。2.Themostsurprisingthingaboutit,however,isthatitcanlandanywhere:onsnow,water,orevenonaploughedfield.然而，最令人驚奇的是它能夠在任何地方降落：雪地上，水面上，甚至剛耕過的田里。However也可以放在句子的開頭。整個(gè)句子其實(shí)是一個(gè)表語(yǔ)從句，is后面的that是連詞，itcanlandanywhere這個(gè)句子在整個(gè)句子中作表語(yǔ)。表語(yǔ)從句通常位于be動(dòng)詞的后面，如：Thequestioniswhethertechnologyisgoingtobeourservantorourmaster.問題是科技將為我們所用，還是要駕馭我們。3.CaptainFawcett'sfirstpassengerwasadoctorwhoflewfromBirminghamtoalonelyvillageintheWelshmountains.弗西特機(jī)長(zhǎng)的第一位乘客是為醫(yī)生，他從伯明翰飛往威爾士山區(qū)一個(gè)偏僻的村莊。本句是一個(gè)定語(yǔ)從句，句子whoflewfromBirminghamtoalonelyvillageintheWelshmountains.是修飾和限定前面的名詞doctor的，表明是一位從伯明翰飛往威爾士山區(qū)一個(gè)偏僻村莊的醫(yī)生。Birmingham伯明翰是英國(guó)的第二大城市，人口與面積均僅次于倫敦，地處英格蘭中部。Welsh作形容詞表示威爾士的，作名詞表示威爾士人。Wales指威爾士。英國(guó)的全稱是TheUnitedKingdomofGreatBritainandNorthernIreland.大不列顛及北愛爾蘭聯(lián)合王國(guó)。大不列顛島即是有英格蘭England,、蘇格蘭Scotland及威爾士Wales這三個(gè)部分組成的。4.Oncehelandedontheroofofablockofflatsandonanotheroccasion,helandedinadesertedcarpark.一次，他把飛機(jī)降落在了一棟公寓樓的屋頂上，還有一次，降落在了一個(gè)廢棄的停車場(chǎng)上。這是一個(gè)由and連接的并列句。and前面的句子中ablockofflats表示一棟公寓樓，ablock在此表示一棟。Block在我們表達(dá)地址時(shí)經(jīng)常用到，例如：Flat1501,Block5A,SunnyBayEstate,Bao'anDistrict,Shenzhen.深圳市寶安區(qū)陽(yáng)光海小區(qū)5A棟2205號(hào)and后面的句子中deserted是個(gè)形容詞，表示無人居住的，廢棄的。desert可以用作動(dòng)詞表示廢棄、放棄；還可以用作名詞表示沙漠、荒漠，這時(shí)讀/?dez?t/。如：Whydidyoudesertteachingforpolitics?(作動(dòng)詞)你為什么棄教從政呢？Theclimateisverydryinthedesert.(作名詞)沙漠里氣候很干燥與desert相似的單詞是dessert，多了1個(gè)s，dessert表示甜點(diǎn)。如：Wouldyoulikesomecoffeeordessert?你要不要來點(diǎn)咖啡或甜點(diǎn)？occasion表示場(chǎng)合、時(shí)機(jī)。如：I'msorrythatIcan'tbewithyouonsuchanimportantoccasion.

很抱歉我不能在這么重要的場(chǎng)合和你在一起。5.ThemanwantedtoflytoRockall,alonelyislandintheAtlanticOcean.這個(gè)人想要飛往大西洋上的一個(gè)孤島--羅卡爾島。句中alonelyislandintheAtlanticOcean.這個(gè)短語(yǔ)是用作補(bǔ)語(yǔ)，來補(bǔ)充說明前面的名詞Rockall.AtlanticOcean指大西洋，其它的三大洋分別是：PacificOcean太平洋

IndianOcean印度洋ArcticOcean北冰洋6.butCaptainFawcettdidnottakehimbecausethetripwastoodangerous.弗西特機(jī)長(zhǎng)之所以不去送他，是因?yàn)槟嵌物w行太危險(xiǎn)了。這是一個(gè)原因狀語(yǔ)從句。句中takehim表示帶他去那個(gè)島，其后省略了totheisland。take與bring和fetch的區(qū)別是：take常表示帶走(從某地或某人處帶走)。如：Wetakebookstoschooleveryday.我們每天帶著書本上學(xué)。

bring表示帶來(從某處帶來什么東西)。如：Pleasebringmemybookthisafternoon.今天下午請(qǐng)把我的書帶來給我。fetch表示取來(去某地把某物取回來)。如：ShallIfetchahigherchairforyourdaughter,madam?

太太，要不要給您女兒拿一張高椅子？Exercises練習(xí)一.Answerthesequestions.1.HasCaptainBenFawcettboughtasmallSwissaeroplane,orhasheboughtanordinarytaxi?Doesheuseitasataxiornot?(and)
