Answer 1

28课 What is Jasper White's problem?

Jasper White is one of those rare people who believes in ancient myths. he has just bought a new housein the city, but ever since he moved in, he has had trouble with cars and their owners. When he returns home at night, he always finds that someone has parked a car outside his gate. Because of this, he has not been able to get his own car into his garage even once. Jasper has put up 'No Parking' signs outside his gate, but these have not had any effect. Now he has put an ugly stone head over the gate. Itis one of the ugliest faces I have ever seen. I asked him what it was and he told me that it was Medusa, the Gorgon. jasper hopes that she will turn cars and their owners to stone. But none of them has been turned to stone yet!

精讲笔记：

7.It is one of the ugliest faces I have ever seen.

这是我见过的最丑陋的头像之一。

语言点1 经典句型：形容词级/the only+名词+ that引导定语从句(完成时态）

这个句型结构的特点有三个：

1) 主句中有形容词的级或表示的词，从句是由that引导的定语从句，that作从句中宾语时可省略。

2) 主句和定语从句的时态呼应：

主句用一般现在时，宛语从句则用现在完成时；

主句用一般过去时,定语从句则用过去宪成时。

3) 定语从句中常有ever(曾经)放在have/had与过去分词之间用来加强语气。

语言点2 ...I have ever seen我曾经见过的……

..I have ever done我曾经做过的

...I have ever heard我曾经听说过的

例：This is the most difficult problem I have ever worked out.这是我曾经做过的最难的一道题。

This is the most amusing story 1 have ever heard.这是我曾经听过的玩的一个故事。

8.I asked him what it was and he told me that it was Medusa, the Gorgon.

我问他那是什么，他告诉我那是蛇发女怪美杜莎。

语言点1 What it was为ask的宾语从句。

语言点2 the Gorgon是Medusa的同位语。

9.Jasper hopes that she will turn cars and their owners to stone.

贾斯珀希望她把汽车和车主们都变成石头。

语言点 turn...to/into…意为“把……变成……”。Tum表示变化，指通过某种方法或外力使某人或某物改变特定的性质、身份或外形。例：

Autumn turns the green leaves golden.秋天绿叶变成了金黄色。

The sky turned to pink at dawn. The night turned into day.天空在黎明时分变成了 粉红色。黑夜变成了白天。
