(not) to do sth. persuade sb. into / out of doing sth.我已说服他做这件事。e.g. I persuaded him to do it. = persuade him
25、 into doing it. 如果“劝说”不服, 不能直接用persuade, 而应用try to persuade或advise, 或者用persuade的否定式。e.g. Some of us advised him to change his mind but no one could persuade him to do so.(2)实例1.

27、也可接that引导的宾语从句(必须用虚拟语气即should+动词原形),而persuade不能。My friends advised him to see a doctor,but he refused all of them.Who can persuade him?我的朋友们建议他去看医生,但他拒绝了所有的人。谁能说服他?3 辨析: Finally/at last/in the endfinally 一般指一系列事物或论点的顺序的最后项内容,或用在动词前,表示“等了好久才”,没有感情色彩. at last只能指时间位置,不能指时间顺序,在意思上是指经过周折、等待、耽搁到”最后、终于”(出现
28、所期待的结果),常常带有较浓厚的感情色彩. in the end可与at last和finally通用.但若出现了非期待中的结果,用in the end, 还可以用于预卜未来。1)They talked about it for hours. _ they decided not to go.2)The children arrived home _after the storm.3) My dream will come true4) The war lasted four years before the North won _.5) Your idea will turn out rig

30、/is+强调成分+that-/who-分句如果强调的部分是人,可用who,也可用that, 强调其他成分与内容都用that。强调时间和地点不能用when或where,只用that。e. g.我看这部电影是在上海。 (强调地点状语)It was in Shanghai that I saw the film. 根据上下文和语义意图,说话人可以通过强调句分别强调主语, 宾语, 状语, 使之成为信息中心。e. g All the members held a meeting in the club yesterday.It was all the members that/who held a me
31、eting in the club yesterday. (强调主语, was不能换用were) It was a meeting that all the members held in the club yesterday. (强调宾语a meeting)It was in the club that all the members held a meeting yesterday. (强调地点状语,that不可换用 where) It was yesterday that all the members held a meeting in the club. (强调时间状语that不可换

34、h从句可在主句前,中,后任何位置,而且though可以作副词用于句末,作 “但是,不过”讲,而although无此用法。考例 _ he has limited technical knowledge, the old worker has a lot of experience. A. Since B. Unless C. As D. Although 点拨D 根据句中的limited knowledge和a lot of experience构成对比,可知这是一个让步状语从句,故用although引导。since既然; unless除非; as 因为。2) insist : declare
35、firmly 坚持认为,坚持主张insist on/upon ones doing sth坚持做,坚决做e.g. I insisted on/upon his coming with us.insist that +从句 “坚持说”(后表示一个事实), 后接的从句用陈述语气, 既按需要选择时态。 e.g. He insisted that he hadnt stolen the girls handbag.insist that sb.

When I told her that our journey would begin at an altitude of more than 5000 meters, she seemed to be excited about it. 当我告诉她我们将在海拔5000米
40、处开始旅程, 她好像对此很兴奋。本句中的seem后面跟了不定式结构,意 为“ 看起来好像 ”。现对seem的用法讲 解如下: 一seem常常和不定式,形容词,分词,名词和介词短语搭配。如:1seem+不定式(短语)a)I seemed to hear a voice in the distance .b)Your advice seems to be doing me a favor .c)I seem to have caught a cold .注意:1seem后跟不定式(短语)时,要注意不定式所表示动作发生的时间,以此来确定不定式的时态。2 . seem后不定式的否定式习惯上用 dont
41、 来代替,(放在seem 前),如:You dont seem to be quite yourself today ( =You seem not be quite yourself today )3.seem +形容词a) She seems quite happy today.b) The enemy seems powerful but in fact it is weak.注此句式出可看作是seem+to be+adj句式的一种简化形式。如例a可转换为:She seems to be quite happy today.例b可转换为:The enemy seems to be pow
42、erful but in fact it is weak.但目前由于英语的发展,seem+to be+形容词结构的用法已越来越少,seem+adj的结构已趋成型,属口语语体。4Seem+分词a) The situation seemed quite encouraging.b) The news seems exciting.c) They seems interested in the film.注seem后用现在分词还是过去分词取决于分词本身的逻辑主语,如句中的主语(盍作的执行者)是分词的逻辑主语,用现在分词,反之用过去分词。5、seem+名词a) She seems a clever g
43、irl.b) Her mother seems a teacher.c) It seemed a long time before my turn came.6.seem+介词短语They seemed in high spirits.二、seem常用于it作形式主语的“It seems/seemed that”结构,如:a) It seems that you were lying.b) It seemed that he had been a scientist.c) It seems impossible that he will be here tomorrow.注1)在这一句式中,常省去that,如例a可改为:It seems you were lying.2)间或在seem后可跟一形容词,如例c.三、seem常用于由as if/though引导的从句中,如:a) It seems
