文章内容:

 

文章分析:

[1-1] Several boats have sunk on a lake in the US state of Texas during a parade to support President Donald Trump in November's election, officals say.

1. 不规则变化 sink-sank-sunk

【类】swim-swam-swum

【归纳】动词的不规则变化之一:把元音往不同的方向推

【作业】“叮”的过去式和过去分词怎么写?

【答】sting-stung-stung

 

2. a parade to support 中的 to support 是目的状语 or 后置定语

【答】后置定语

【解】a parade 一个游行→去支持川普大选的游行(修饰名词的,就是定语)

【总结】如果不定式跟在宾语后面,判断它是整个句子的后置定语还是目的状语,你只要看它修饰的是名词还是动词

    【目的状语】修饰动词

    【后置定语】修饰名词

 

[1-2] Authorities say the choppy water was likely caused by the large number of vessels moving closely together on Lake Travis, near the state capital, Austin.

1.【同义替换】officials —— authorities

 

2. choppy  a.波浪起伏的

 

3. was likely caused

【副词修饰】很有可能是被...引起的(表示一种推测、可能性)

 

4. by the large number of vessels moving closely 

【固搭】the large number of  大量,许多

【动名词的复合结构】如果一个介词后面直接出现动名词,说明这个动名词就是主语做出来的。而如果动名词不是主语做出来的,就必须要在这个动名词的前面加上它的动作发出者。

I am proud of doing so./I am sorry for being late. 

I am proud of he doing so./I am sorry for my son being late.

 

[2-1] Images showed boats with Trump campaign flags manoeuvring at close quarters.

1. image   |ˈɪmɪdʒ|  注意重音(名前动后)

 

2. 名词+介词+名词→从后往前翻

【例】boats with Trump campaign flags  带着川普竞选支持旗帜的船

 

3. manoeuvre  vt./vi.操控;熟练而谨慎地移动;n.移动;策略

【记】马诺(ma-no)咦哟喂(e-u-v),这个阿姨(r-e)策略就是操控男人

【番】马诺:“我宁愿坐在宝马里哭,也不要坐在自行车上笑。”

【例 1】She manoeuvred the car into the garage.  她小心翼翼地把车开进车库。

【例 2】The new laws have left us little room to manoeuvre.  新法律没给我们留下多少回旋的余地

【作业】他近看很丑。

      【记】少女还比较矜持,所以你带(da)不(m)走(sel)
