Grammarfocus語(yǔ)法1.

Lastweekatadinnerparty,thehostessaskedmetositnexttoMrs.Rumbold.

在上星期的一次宴會(huì)上，女主人安排我坐在蘭伯爾德夫人的旁邊。hostess表示女主人，其中ess是一個(gè)后綴，表示女性。如：actor男演員，actress女演員；prince王子，princess公主；god上帝，goddess女神。nextto表示挨著。如：Wesatnexttoeachother.我們緊挨著坐在一起。而beside表示旁邊，在距離上比nextto遠(yuǎn)點(diǎn)。如：Hesatbesideherallnight.整個(gè)晚上他都坐在她的旁邊。2.

Mrs.Rumboldwasalarge,unsmilingladyinatightblackdress.

蘭伯爾德夫人是一位身材高大、表情嚴(yán)肅的女人，穿一件緊身的黑衣服。unsmiling不笑的，嚴(yán)肅的。其中un是一個(gè)否定前綴。如：happy高興的，unhappy不高興的；stable穩(wěn)定的，unstable不穩(wěn)定的；certain確定的，uncertain不確定的。句中inatightblackdress表示穿著一件緊身的黑衣服。如：ThemaninblueisTom'sfather.那個(gè)穿藍(lán)色衣服的人是湯姆的父親。3.

ShedidnotevenlookupwhenItookmyseatbesideher.

當(dāng)我在她身旁坐下的時(shí)候，她甚至連頭都沒(méi)有抬一下。這是一個(gè)由when引導(dǎo)的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句，主句中l(wèi)ookup表示抬頭。lookup還可以表示查找。如：Youcanlookupthiswordinthevocabulary.你可以在詞匯表里查這個(gè)詞。4.

Hereyeswerefixedonherplateandinashorttime,shewasbusyeating.

她的眼睛盯著自己的盤子，不一會(huì)兒就忙著吃起來(lái)了。fixone'seyeson…表示盯著……看。如：Hefixedhiseyesonuswithoutsayingaword.他注視著我們，一句話也不說(shuō)。busydoingsth.表示忙著做某事。如：Whatareyoubusydoingthesedays?這些日子你忙著干什么呢？5.

Anewplayiscomingto"TheGlobe"soon.一出新劇要來(lái)“環(huán)球劇場(chǎng)”上演了。TheGlobe表示環(huán)球劇場(chǎng)，位于倫敦，是英國(guó)著名的劇場(chǎng)之一。句中cometothetheater表示上映。on也可以表示上映。如：Whatisonatthecinematonight?今晚這個(gè)電影院演什么？6.

Willyoubeseeingit?

您去看嗎？本句是一個(gè)將來(lái)進(jìn)行時(shí)的疑問(wèn)句。將來(lái)進(jìn)行時(shí)的結(jié)構(gòu)是主語(yǔ)+willbedoing+其他。表示將來(lái)的某個(gè)時(shí)間正在發(fā)生的動(dòng)作或事情。此處用將來(lái)進(jìn)行時(shí)提問(wèn)，比直接用一般將來(lái)時(shí)will來(lái)提問(wèn)，語(yǔ)氣更委婉客氣。下文中還出現(xiàn)了幾個(gè)將來(lái)進(jìn)行時(shí)的句子：Willyoubespendingyourholidaysabroadthisyear?您今年去國(guó)外度假嗎？WillyoubestayinginEngland?您就呆在英國(guó)嗎？7.Ifyouatemoreandtalkedless,wewouldbothenjoyourdinner!

如果你多吃點(diǎn)，少說(shuō)點(diǎn)，我們兩個(gè)都會(huì)吃得好的。這句話表達(dá)的意思與事實(shí)相反，潛臺(tái)詞就是你現(xiàn)在話太多，我很不開(kāi)心。這是一個(gè)由if引導(dǎo)的虛擬語(yǔ)氣的句子。虛擬語(yǔ)氣主要用來(lái)表示假設(shè)，而非客觀存在的事實(shí)。因?yàn)槭菍?duì)當(dāng)前情況的假設(shè)，所以要用一般過(guò)去時(shí)。就把這個(gè)原本時(shí)態(tài)是主將從現(xiàn)的句子中的eat改成ate，相應(yīng)的will改成了would。Exercises練習(xí)一.Answerthesequestions.1.Wheredidthewritersitatthedinnerparty?
