新概念英語第二冊第83課課文重難點(diǎn):
1.the former prime minister, mr. wentworth lane, was defeated in the recent elections. 前首相溫特沃茲·萊恩先生在近的大選中被擊敗。
(1)former在這里表示"以前的"、"從前的"或"前任的",后面需要跟名詞:
yesterday, he received a letter from his former wife/english teacher. 昨天他收到了他前妻/以前的英語老師的一封信。
(2)election指一般選舉時用單數(shù),指全國性的選舉時用復(fù)數(shù):
an election will be held next month. 下月將舉行選舉。
he hopes to defeat his rival in next year's elections. 他希望在明年的大選中擊敗對手。
2.…the ex-prime minister had gone abroad.……這位前首相出國去了。
前綴ex-加在名詞前表示"以前的"(相當(dāng)于former),如ex-husband(前夫), ex-wife(前妻),ex-taxi-driver(前出租汽車司機(jī)),ex-manager(前任經(jīng)理),ex-headmaster(前任校長)等。
3.though a little suspicious this time…雖然那位警察這次有點(diǎn)疑心……
這是一個省略了主語和連系動詞的讓步狀語從句。通常,如果從句的主語與主句的相同而謂語帶系動詞be,則主語+be可省略(原因狀語從句例外):
while at college, she wrote a novel. 她上大學(xué)時寫了一部小說。
he acted as if certain of success. 他的舉止就像一定會成功一樣。(方式)
if possible, please let me know by this evening. 如果可能的話,請?jiān)诮裢硪郧案嬖V我。(條件)
though tired, he went to bed very late. 他雖然疲憊,但還是很晚才上床。(讓步)
原因狀語從句的省略形式要帶分詞being:
being worried about his child, he walked up and down in the room. 他由于為孩子擔(dān)心,在屋子里來回走著。
