Grammarfocus語(yǔ)法

1.Iwasbeingtestedforadrivinglicenceforthethirdtime.

我第3次接受駕駛執(zhí)照考試。

這是過(guò)去正在進(jìn)行時(shí)的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)，如：

Thepolicewasquestioningthethief.

警察正在審問(wèn)那個(gè)小偷。

Thethiefwasbeingquestionedbythepolice.

這個(gè)小偷正在被警察審問(wèn)。

drvinglicense駕駛執(zhí)照，與driving相關(guān)的詞組還有：

drivingtest駕照考試,

drvingforce驅(qū)動(dòng)力。

2.1hadbeenaskedtodriveinheavytrafficandhaddoneso

successfully.按照要求在車(chē)輛擁擠的路上駕駛，我圓滿地完成了。

這是一個(gè)并列句，都是過(guò)去完成時(shí)，and前是被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)，and后是主動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)。如

Thehousehadbeenbuiltbymygrandfatherby1960.

這所房子是我祖父在I960年建造的。

Mygrandfatherhadbuiltthehousein1960.

我祖父在I960年就建造了這座房子。

heavytraffic表示擁擠的道路，與traffic相關(guān)的詞組有：

trafficjam交通阻塞,

trafficpolice交警,

trafficlights紅綠燈，

rush-hourtraffic交通高峰時(shí)間。

3.Afterhavingbeeninstructedtodriveoutoftown,Ibegantoacquireconfidence.

在接到把車(chē)開(kāi)出城的指令后，我開(kāi)始有了信心。

Afterhavingbeeninstructedtodriveoutoftown,

這個(gè)部分是時(shí)間狀語(yǔ),相當(dāng)于是AfterIhadbeeninstructedtodriveoutoftown.

同樣是過(guò)去完成時(shí)的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)，因?yàn)樵诮樵~after后，所以原句用的是having,

acquire表示通過(guò)不斷的積累而漸漸獲得……。如：

Hehadacquiredmuchwisdomduringhislonglife.

他一生中獲得了許多智慧。

ShehasacquiredagoodknowledgeofEnglish.

她英語(yǔ)已經(jīng)學(xué)得很好了。

4.SurethatIhadpassed,Iwasalmostbeginningtoenjoymytest.

確信我已通過(guò)考試，所以我?guī)缀蹰_(kāi)始喜歡起這次考試。

sure的前面省略了being,原句應(yīng)該是beingsurethatIhadpassed(thetest).

bebeginningto表示開(kāi)始……。如：

Ourplanisbeginningtotakeshape.

我們的計(jì)劃開(kāi)始成形了。

Dawnisbeginningtoshowintheeast.

東方露出了曙光。

5.Theexaminermusthavebeenpleasedwithmyperformance,forhesmiledand

said.'Justonemorething,Mr.Eames.'

主考人對(duì)我的駕駛想必是滿意的，因?yàn)樗⑿χf(shuō)："埃姆斯先生，只剩一項(xiàng)了

O

bepleasedwithsth.表示對(duì)……感到滿意。如：

Iampleasedwithyouroutstandingwork.

我很滿意你杰出的工作表現(xiàn)。

Everyonewaspleasedwithhiswork.

大家對(duì)他的工作很滿意。

havebeenpleased是現(xiàn)在完成進(jìn)行時(shí)的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)。如：

Alltheproblemshavebeensolvedbyme.

所有的問(wèn)題都被我解決了。

Ihavesolvedalltheproblems.

我解決了所有的問(wèn)題。

6.AssoonasItaponthewindow,youmuststopwithinfivefeet.

我一敲車(chē)窗，你必須把車(chē)停在五英尺之內(nèi)。

這是一個(gè)時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句，主句中within表示在……之內(nèi)。如：

Icouldmasterthiswithinafewdays.

幾天內(nèi)我就能掌握這部分。

Thefilmwillbefinishedwithinitsbudget.

電影將在預(yù)算之內(nèi)拍攝完成。

within的反義詞可不是without,without表示沒(méi)有，within的反義詞是beyond.

如：

Thisoutcomeisbeyondhisexpectations.

這一結(jié)果在他意料之外。

I'msorry.It'sbeyondmyability.

對(duì)不起，這超出了我的能力。
