Structure Study
一: V-ing 形式由 “do+ing” 构成, 其否定形式是 “not doing”, V-ing 可以带宾语或状语构成 V-ing 短语, 没有人称和数的变化, 但有时态和语态的变化。 V-ing 形式在句中作定语和状语是本单元的学习重点。
1. 作定语 :V-ing 形式可以单独充当名词的前置修饰语, 这时有两种情况。
1) -ing形式表示 “供作..之用”的意思, 这类作定语的-ing形式过去叫动名词。 A swimming pool= a pool for swimming 2) -ing形式表示 “......的” 意思, 过去叫现在分词
A sleeping child working people the rising sun
-ing形式短语作定语时一般放在它所修饰的名词之后, 相当于一个定语从句。如: They are visitors coming from several countries. The boy standing there is a classmate of mine.
2. 作状语:可以表示时间, 原因, 结果,条件, 行为方式或伴随动作等。 -ing形式作状语时, 它的逻辑主语必须与主句的主语是一致的。 Time permitting, I will pay a visit to the whole city.
(分词的逻辑主语是time , 而句子的主语是I , 两者不构成主谓关系, 所以只能用主格结构, 也就是给现在分词补充一个主语。) Peroid 7-8 Learning Language
1. Some more information about Body Language:
to nod consent 点头表示同意,to nod one’s farewell 点头表示告别,
to nod as a sign of agreement or as a familiar greeting 点头表示赞同或打招呼, to hold one’s head high 昂首挺胸(表示趾高气扬), to shake one’s fist 挥动拳头(表示威胁), to shake one’s head 摇头(表示不知道),to show a V sign 由食指和中指构成字母“V”,而“V”是victory的第一个字母。祝愿胜利或庆祝胜利之意。
to wink at a person 向某人眨眼睛,to make a face 面部露出厌恶的表情, to shrug one’s shoulders 耸耸肩膀 (表示冷淡或怀疑),
to keep (or have) one’s fingers crossed 把中指叠在食指上交叉着,作十字状。这是暗中希望上帝保佑自己正在做的事成功。
to crook a finger 朝某人弯曲食指。是招人过来的意思。
更有趣的是英美人用大拇指 (thumb) 做出许多不同的表示。
to thumb one’s nose 以大拇指按鼻,其余四指张开,表示轻视。在英美等国家,你会看到这种手势经常用在调皮的孩子们中间。他们用大拇指点着自己的鼻子,而其他四指张开不停地摇动,表示轻蔑或嘲弄。也可以说“to cock a snook at somebody”.
to twiddle one’s thumbs 无聊地绕动着两个大拇指,表示无所事事,懒散。
thumbs down 大拇指朝下表反对或拒绝。thumbs up 翘起大拇指,表赞成或夸奖。 但值得一提的是在英美等西方国家,有时会看到有人站在马路边,朝驶过来的车辆伸出一只翘起大拇指的拳头。这是请求搭便车的意思。所以搭车也可以说“to thumb a lift”。 Period 9 Checking the answers of the workbook Period 10 writing How to use body language?
