Lesson 17 Always young
    課文內(nèi)容:
    My aunt Jennifer is an actress. She must be at least thirty-five years old. In spite of this, she often appears on the stage as a young girl. Jennifer will have to take part in a new play soon. This time, she will be a girl of seventeen. In the play, she must appear in a bright red dress and long black stockings. Last year in another play, she had to wear short socks and a bright, orange-coloured dress. If anyone ever asked her how old she is, she always answers, ‘My dear, it must be terrible to be grown up!'
    精講筆記:
    7.Last year in another play, she had to wear short socks and a bright, orange-coloured dress.
    去年,在另一部戲里,她不得不穿短襪和一件鮮艷的橘黃色衣服。
    語言點1 last year是過去時間狀語,所以句中用have to的過去式had to。
    1)“had to (have to的過去式)+動詞原形”表示過去不得不做某事:had to wear (過去) 不得不穿;had to finish(過去)不得不完成
    試譯:今天早上,我不得不等了他三個小時。
    This morning I had to wait for him for 3 hours.
    2)have to的否定形式:don’t have to。注意:haven’t to是錯誤的表達(dá)。
    You don’t have to go there.你不是必須要去那兒。
    3)had to的否定形式:didn’t have to。注意:hadn’t to是錯誤的表達(dá)。
    語言點2 bright, orange-coloured dress中有一個逗號,在此沒有實際的意義,兩個形容詞都用來修飾dress.
    8.If anyone ever asked her how old she is, she always answers, ‘My dear, it must be terrible to be grown up!'
    一旦有人問她有多大年紀(jì),她總是回答:“親愛的,長大成人真可怕?。?”
    語言點1 此句中if引導(dǎo)真實條件句,主句用一般現(xiàn)在時表示將來。
    語言點2 grow v.生長;grow up長大;grown up長大成人(grown為grow的過去分詞)
