(一) 词汇
1. bet

通常用于一些短语中，如：
make a bet 打赌
e.g.
Let’s make a bet on the next election.
咱们赌下次大选，好吗？
类似的短语还有：

2) the money, etc. risked in this way (金钱等) 赌注
e.g. a $ 5 bet 五美元的赌注

1) risk (money) on a race or some other event of which the result is doubtful 打赌，赌博
e.g.

布来克夫人把她所有的钱都花在了赌马上。
I bet (you) ($5) that they’ll win the next election.
我与你赌五美元他们一定会赢得下次选举。
I bet on the wrong horse—it lost the race.
我把赌注下错了，那匹马输了。
2) I bet…=I am sure 我确信
e.g.
I bet he’s gone swimming ——he loves it.
我敢肯定他去游泳了，他喜爱这项运动。
I bet it will rain tomorrow.
我确信明天要下雨。
注意：bet的过去式和过去分词：bet或betted

2. permit v.
1）permit sb. to do sth. =allow sb. to do sth. 允许某人做某事
e.g. Her mother would not permit her to come back late.
她的妈妈是不会允许她晚归的。
Permit me to explain it.
请允许我解释一下。
2）permit sth.: allow sth. to exist, happen, or to be done 许可、容许存在、发生
e.g. We don’t permit smoking in the office.
在我们的办公室里不准吸烟。
The prisoners were permitted two hours’ outdoor exercise a day.
犯人每天允许有两个小时的户外活动。
辨析permit 与promise
e.g.
Will you permit an old pupil to shake hands with you?
请允许您从前的一个学生跟您握握手，好吗？
I promised that if anyone came to set me free, I would make him king over the earth.
我许下诺言：谁来把我放了，我就让他当世界之王。
辨析：
1) permit 意为“允许”，“许可”，后接名词、代词、或由带to的不定式构成的复合宾语。
promise 意为“允诺”、“答应”，后跟名词、代词、不定式或双宾语结构。promise 还可接that 从句，但permit 不能这样用。
例如：母亲不准我出去。
误：Mother didn’t permit that I might go out.
正：Mother didn’t promise that I might go out.
Mother didn’t permit me to go out.
2) permit sb. to do sth. / promise sb. to do sth.
e.g. Tom permitted me to go. Tom允许我去。
Tom promised me to go . Tom答应我他要去。
前一句中的to go 是me 发出的动作，意思是我去而不是Tom去。
后一句中的to go 是Tom发出的动作，意思是Tom去

1. I _____ that I’ll never do that again.
2. Since she had a bad cold, the teacher ______ her to go home.

2) impossible to believe 不可相信
e.g.

incredibly : adv.
1）to a great degree, extremely or unusually 非常地，极端地，异乎寻常地

2) in a way that is difficult to believe, amazingly 难以置信地，惊人地
e.g.

做某事的解释，解释某事物的原因
e.g.

句型
I wonder, Mr. Adams, if you’d mind us asking a few questions.
亚当斯先生，不知你是否介意我们问几个问题。
1. I wonder if (whether)…不知是否……
这是一种表示委婉请求的句式，用于较为正式的场合。如：
I wonder if she knows we’re here.
我很想知道她是否晓得我们在这里。
另外，I wonder 还可以接其他句式，如：

我不明白他们为什么没到。
I wonder at his rudeness.
我对他的粗暴无礼感到吃惊。
I wonder that he can come here after what happened.
事件发生后他还能到这里来，我觉得奇怪。

2. 动名词的复合结构
Mind us asking这一结构是名词的所有格或形容词性的物主代词+dong的形式，在句中能做主语、表语和宾语。如：
Sophia’s having seen them did not surprise us.
索菲亚看见了他们，这并不使我们感到惊讶。
Excuse my interrupting you. 请原谅我打断你的话。
What worried the child most was his not being allowed to visit his mother in the hospital.
使那孩子焦虑不安的是不允许他到医院探望他的妈妈。
在现代英语中，动名词复合结构用作宾语时，其名词多用通格，形容词性物主代词也多用代词的。Mind us asking就属于这种情况。
又如：
I hate people being unhappy. 我不愿人们不快乐。
Please say nothing about us calling.请不要(对别人)说我们来拜访的事。

3. 强调句
And it was the ship that brought you to England.
正是那艘船把你带到了英国。
此句为一强调句，其句型结构是：it is (was) +被强调部分+that+句子剩余部分
又如：
It was in this room that Lu Xun once lived.
这就是鲁迅生前住过的房间。
It was because his mother was ill that he didn’t go to school.
他不来上学是因为他妈妈病了。
It was in 1982 that the club was set up.
这个俱乐部是在1982年成立的。
注意：此句型用来强调除谓语动词以外的其他成分。若要用来强调谓语动词，常在动词前加助动词。如：
I do like music.我的确喜欢音乐。
He did finish his homework yesterday.
他昨天的确完成了作业。
