新概念英语第二册逐句精讲语言点第21课(3)

Answer 1

Lesson 21 Mad or not?

课文内容：

Aeroplanes are slowly driving me mad. I live near an airport and passing planes can be heard night and day. The airport was built years ago, but for some reason it could not be used then. Last year, however, it came into use. Over a hundred people must have been driven away from their homes by the noise. I am one of the few people left. Sometimes I think this house will be knocked down by a passing plane. I have been offered a large sum of money to go away, but I am determined to stay here. Everybody says I must be mad and they are probably right.

精讲笔记：

7.Sometimes I think this house will be knocked down by a passing plane.

有时候我觉得我的房子会被一架飞过的飞机撞倒，

语言点1 此句的核心语法点是将来时的被动语态，结构为：will be done (+by...)

语言点2 比较学习home和house:

home家（具有感情色彩）：East or west, home is the best.金窝银窝不如自己的狗窝。. house房子(仅仅是居住的地方）

语言点3 knock down =knock over 撞倒

knock out撞昏，knock off下班。

8.I have been offered a large sum of money to go away, but I am determined to stay here.

他们提出要给我一笔可现的补偿让我搬走，但我决定留下来。

语言点 （1) offer作动词意为“提供；给予；贡献；愿意；出价”：

offer a few ideas提出几点意见；offer to help sb.表示愿意帮助某人

(2) offer作名词指在求职、留学申请等情况的录取通知

He is expecting tiie ofifer of Harvard University day and night 他日夜都在期待着哈佛大学的录取通知书。

9.Everybody says I must be mad and they are probably right.

大家都说我肯定是疯了，也许他们说的是对的。

语言点1 再次强调，everybody作主语时必须视为单数形式，对应的谓语动词用单数。

语言点2 probably (adv.很可能地)修饰right (adj.对的)，相当于must be right。
