有趣的英语”绝句“.doc

有趣的英语“绝句”以下几个句子既不是出自名家之手，也不是出自名人之口，但它们都有自己独特的地方，请你先读读想想，然后再看看后面的“赏析”，你会觉得挺有意思的。1. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.【赏析】此句只有九个英语单词，但却包括了26个英语字母，且所描写的景象生动形象，通常被人们用来练习英文打字。句意为：那只敏捷的棕色狐狸跳过那只懒狗。2. The boy there heard that Mrs Gage had measured out and packed five bushels of string beans, three of which had been then sold to a lawyer called Arthur Hunt.【赏析】这句只有30个单词的句子却包含了英语绝大部分音标，同学们不妨用它来练习一下自己的发音。句意为：那里的那个男孩听说盖奇太太量出并包装好五蒲式（计量单位，一蒲式耳约36公升）的蚕豆把其中的三份卖给了一个名叫阿瑟享特的律师。3. That teacher said that that “that” that that student used in that sentence is wrong.【赏析】句中的第一个that为指示代词，修饰名词teacher；第二个that为连接词，用以引导宾语从句；第三个that的用法相当定冠词，表特指；第四个that为受其后定语从句修饰的先行词；第五个that为关系代词，用以引导定语从句，修饰其前的that；第六、七个that均为指示代词，分别修饰名词student和sentence。句意为：那位老师说那个学生在那个句子里用的那个that是错误的。4. Theres too much space between “horse” and “and” and “and” and “cart”.【赏析】这一句共用了五个and，说话的背景可能是这样的：说话者看到一个牌子上写有horse and cart这三个词，但是horse与and之间的间距以及and与cart之间的间距太宽了。其实，此句可视为下面这两个句子的紧缩：Theres too much space between “horse” and “and”. There is also too much space between “and” and “cart”.前面那个句子的意思是：在horse与and之间以及and与cart之间空隙太多了。
