新概念英语第2册第52课重点内容解析
重要句型或语法
1、现在完成进行时
该时态是第二册区别与第一册,新增出来的时态。主要用来表示过去发生的动作,持续到现在,而且还会继续持续下去。如:
I have been working hard all morning.
I have been trying to get my new room in order.
2、同源副词
所谓“同源副词”指的是某些形容词同时具有两个不同形式的副词,而且含义不一样。比如:形容词deep有两个副词,即deep(物理意义上的深的)和deeply(抽象意义上的深深地),比如:
The cave is very deep. (这个洞穴很深。)
They are deep in love with each other.(他俩相互深爱着对方。)
课文主要语言点
We have just moved into a new house and I have been working hard all morning. 1)本句话是对比现在完成时和现在完成进行时的典型例子。前半句用了现在完成时,因为要表达的是刚刚搬进了新家,而后半句用了现在完成进行时,是因为要表达整个上午一直都在忙着。 2)move into...,搬进某处。注意与move in(搬进,不及物,后面不接宾语)和move to...(搬到某地,是较大的地点名称)的区别。 3)hard,努力地,是个副词。注意该词源于形容词hard(努力的),需要注意区分副词hard和hardly(几乎不)。 4)all morning,整个上午,相当于all the morning。注意“all+时间”表示持续的一段时间,是进行时的标志。
I have been trying to get my new room in order. 1)本句话之所以也采用了现在完成进行时,是因为这句话时紧接着上句话中所说的have been working all morning,解释到底在忙什么。 2)get...in order,把...整理好。be in order,井然有序。相反的表达的是:be out of order。
This has not been easy because I own over a thousand books. 1)句中的This has not been easy可以改为It is not easy,因为该句要表达的是要做好这件事情不容易的客观事实。 2)own,拥有。该词也可以用作形容词,表示“自己的”。其常用的短语是:on one's own,独自、独立。
To make matters worse, the room is rather small, so I have temporarily put my books on the floor. 1)to make matters worse,固定短语,表示“更糟糕的是...”。 2)rather,非常、相当。该词一般用来修饰贬义的或消极的形容词或副词,和它意思相同但用法反的是fairly,该词主要用来修饰褒义的或是积极的形容词或副词。 3)temporarily,暂时地、临时地。源自形容词temporary(暂时的、临时的)。
At the moment, they cover every inch of floor space and I actually have to walk on them to get in or out of the room. 1)at the moment,此刻、现在。相当于now。 2)cover,占据、覆盖。 3)every inch of+地点,表示“某个地方全是...”。 4)space,空间。 5)actually,实际上。源自形容词actual(实际上的)。
A short while ago, my sister helped me to carry one of my old bookcases up the stairs. 1)a short while,一会儿。while相当于moment。 2)up the stairs,上楼。
She went into my room and got a big surprise when she saw all those books on the floor. 1)get a big surprise,感到很惊讶。 2)注意all those books中的all起强调作用。
This is the prettiest carpet I have ever seen,' she said. 1)This is the+级+名词+sb. has/have ever done,表示“这是某人见过的或做过的最...的...”。名词后面省略了关系代词that。 2)carpet,地毯(用来踩的)。注意与blanket(毛毯,用来盖的)的区别。
She gazed at it for some time then added, 'You don't need bookcases at all. You can sit here in your spare time and read the carpet!' 1)gaze at。注视、凝视。相当于stare at。 2)句中的then added前面加上and。add,补充道、接着说。 3)not...at all,根本不、一点也不。 4)in one's spare time,在业余时间。 5)read the carpet,此处的carpet指的是作者的over a thousand books。
