8、or The Nicest Garden Competition each year,but Joe wins every time.译文:几乎每个人都参加每年举行“最正确花园竞赛”,而每次都是乔获胜。(1)nearly和almost 意义相同,表示“几乎”、“差不多”、“差点儿”意思:Im nearly/almost ready.我快准备好了。I have nearly forgotten his name.我差点把他名字忘了。He nearly missed the train.他差点没赶上火车。第14页(1).enter for 报名参加,只强调报名参加:take part in扩展:大
9、家要注意区分好这几个词:enter进入join普通指加入到一些团体组织attend多指出席一些正式场所(比如会议之类)take part in参加一些常规比赛或者活动Exercise Page42第15页(2)each和every均可译为“每一个”,二者经常能够相互代替使用:Every/Each time I wash the car it rains.每次我擦洗汽车,天总是下雨。不过each更强调个体。它惯用以指一个确定并通常是有限数目:Each child in the school was questioned.学校里每个孩子都被问询过了。every却不那么强调个体,惯用来指一个大、不确
10、定数目:Every child enjoys Christmas.全部/每个孩子都喜欢过圣诞节。另外,each既能够作形容词又能够作代词,但every只能作形容词:They each have a share.他们每人都有一份。Each of us has his own work to do.我们每个人都有自己工作要干。Exercise Page42第16页 .He has made neat paths and has built a wooden bridge over a pool.他修筑了一条条整齐小路,并在一个池塘上架了一座小木桥。(1)make和build在这里是同义词,都能够解
11、释为“修建”、“建造”。与汉语写作习惯一样,用英语写作时同一段文字中尤其是在同一句话中应尽可能防止使用重复词,以使文章显得生动(特殊修辞手法例外)。make和build之间区分主要是:make词义比较笼统、广泛,能够解释为“做”、“作出”、“制造”等,而build意义主要限于建筑业,指“建造”、“建设”、“盖房子”、“修筑(桥梁等)”:They have built a new house.他们盖了一座新房子。They have made a road along the river.他们沿这条河筑了一条路。Have you made the skirt by yourself?这裙子是你自己
12、做吗?第17页 (2)over 越过,超出。同时over还有强调“跨过两端一个距离”意思。over与above比较:over通常指在某物垂直上方,above则仅表示在其上方位,在不需要尤其强调垂直上方语境里,两个词能够交换。第18页3.I always win a little prize for the worst garden in the town!win-won-wonvi.I win.我赢了。I lose.我输了。vt.1.win sth.win后面往往是奖品eg.I win the book.win a prize:赢了一个奖win a prize for:因为而获奖注win后面不
13、能接对手,不能说I win you.要用defeat或beat,但defeat用得多,因为beat还有打意思。E.g.I defeat you.第19页Grammar:形容词和副词比较级及最高 这一课语法主要是讲了形容词和副词比较级及最高级。比较级和最高级普通改变(“直去双改”)和不规则改变。1.所谓“直去双改”就是形容词(单音节)普通改变时遵照直去双改标准。第20页 规则改变直:就是直接在词尾加er/est e.g.:smallsmaller去:就是去e加er/est e.g.:nicenicer双:就是以辅元辅结尾闭音节单词,双写末尾辅音字母,再加er/est e.g.:bigbigger
14、 hothotter改:则是指以辅音加y结尾,改y为i再加er/est e.g.:happy happier分词形容词,普通在词前加more,most e.g.more tired同时形容词多音节比较级规则改变则是 more+adj.来组成。eg:more beautiful,more delicious 第21页不规则改变far-farther-farthest -further-furthestold-older-oldest -elder-eldestlate-later-latestgood-better-bestwell-better-bestbad-worse-worstill-w
