二、介词

介词又叫做前置词,是一种虚词,不能单独在句子当中担当成分,它后面必须接名词、代词
或相当于名词的其他词类搭配(介词+宾语)构成介词短语;和动词搭配构成短语动词,然后
才能够在句子当中充当成分。
介词分为简单介词,如: at, in, on, besides, since, for 等;合成介词,如: inside, outside,
without, within, into, onto 等;短语介词(或成语介词),如:because of, in front of, instead of, in
spite of 等;二重介词,如:from behind, until after 等。
一、 介词短语的句法功能
介词在句子中可以充当定语、状语、表语、以及宾语补足语等。
1. 作定语
介词短语在句中做定语时须位于被修饰词之后。
The key to the door is missing.
The water-tower in front of our school was built in 1988.
2. 作表语(或称为:主语的补足语)
Some students are in the classroom, and some on the playground.
As we know, Japan is to the east of China.
3. 作宾语补足语(或称为:宾语的表语)
Did you see a pen under my desk this morning?
They have sent another rocket into the sky.
4. 作状语
1) On Sundays, the family are mostly out. (时间状语)
2) On top of the hill stands a TV tower. (地点状语)
3) He is used to sleeping with all the windows open. (伴随状语)
4) In the search for the lost child, the villagers went all out. (目的状语)
5) All the work must be done by hand. (方式状语)
6) At times, I go to the cinema. (频度状语)
7) She is by far the best student in our class. (程度状语)
8) Because of poverty, he couldn’t go to school. (原因状语)
9) To my surprise, he got the first prize in the contest. (结果状语 / 或评注性状语)

·6·
10) Without our Party, we couldn’t live a happy life. (条件状语)
11) In spite of great efforts we failed to carry our plans through. (让步状语)
12) As a matter of fact, nobody agreed to his project. (评注性状语)
In my opinion, you’d better go with us.
二、 介词的复合结构
“介词+宾语+补足语”可以构成介词的复合结构,在句子当中可充当表语、定语、状语、补
语等。这种结构中的宾语和补足语之间存在着逻辑上的主谓关系,使得句子意义更加丰富。
常见的这类介词有 with, without, like, of 等。
1. 介词+宾语+形容词
He is used to sleeping with all the windows open.
2. 介词+宾语+分词
Bamboo leaves swing in the wind like slim fingers reaching to touch something.
At the beginning of school, the noise of desks being opened and closed and lessons (of being)
repeated at the top of the children’s voices could be heard out in the street.
The wounded boy glared at the nobleman with his teeth clenched.
3. 介词+宾语+不定式
The cat humped its back just like a fierce tiger to jump upon me.
4. 介词+宾语+副词
The little boy rushed out of the house without anything on.
5. 介词+宾语+介词短语
The teacher entered the classroom with a book under his arm.
三、 介词的叠用
在少数介词之后还可接另一个介词短语,也就是我们所称的二重介词。如:
The naughty boy suddenly rushed out from behind the tree to frighten the girl.
In the spring, new bamboo shoots come out from around their own roots.
He kept on working until after lunch.
四、 介词+and+介词
有些介词短语用两个意义相反的介词构成从而使句子精简化。
Not knowing what to do, the worried officer walked up and down the room.
There are many trees in and outside the town.
五、 介词与其同形的与副词区别
有些介词可做副词用,但我们知道副词可以单独在句子中担当成分,而介词须加宾语构成
短语才可在句子中充当成分。
试比较:
Please come in. (in 为副词 = into the room)
We have no car, but we can go there without. (without 为副词 = without a car)
Although the exam was difficult, I managed to get through. (through 为副词 = through the exam)
六、 常易混用介词的区别
1. 表示“上、下”等方位的介词。见下图:

·7·
2. 表示地点的 in 和 at 的区别
a) at 表示位置,in 表示“在…内”如:
— Where is he? — He is at the cinema. (问话者想知道的是位置)
— Is he in the cinema? — Yes, he is. (问话者可能已经在影院门外)
b) at 表示小地点,in 表示大地点
They arrived at the village at seven.
They arrived in Beijing at seven.
但若某一个大地点并不是最后的终点,仍然用 at。例如:
The train from Beijing to Guangzhou will arrive at Wuhan at twelve o’clock.
(武汉只是从北京开往广州这趟列车途中的一个站,并非目的地。)
3. in, to 和 on 在方位名词前的区别
in 表示在某范围之内;to 表示某范围之外的地方;on 表示“毗邻、接壤”
Taiwan lies in the east of China.
Taiwan lies to the east of the mainland of China.
Mongolia (蒙古) is (lies) on the north of China.
4. 表示时间的 in 和 after
用于将来时态时,in 后面接“时段”;after 后面接“时点”。试比较:
He will be back in five hours.
He will be back after five o’clock.
after 后面也可接“时段”,但应该用在过去时态的句子中。
They came back after five days.
5. 表示时间的 at, in 和 on
1) at 表示“钟点时刻、黎明、正午、黄昏、夜晚、午夜、周末、节日期间”
He often gets up at daybreak (dawn).
They will begin their journey at New Year.
2) in 表示“上(下)午、晚间、星期、月份、年份、世纪”
He was born in 1988.
3) on 表示具体日期或具体的上(下)午,节日的当天,美国英语周末前也用 on.
He died on the morning of August 15th, 1985.
但若 morning, afternoon, evening 等词前面有 early 或 late 等修饰语则仍然用 in。如:
He died in the early morning of August 15th, 1985.
6. 表时间的 since 和 for

·8·
since 后接时点;for 接时段,均常与完成时态连用。
He has been here since last Friday.
He has been here for five days.
当表示“多少次” 时不能用 for; 表示“第几次”位于句首时须加 for,而位于句尾时
for 可以省略也可保留。
He has been to Beijing three times. (不可用 for three times)
For the first time, I have come here.
I have come here (for) the first time.
7. 表示位置的 between 和 among
between 表示“个与个之间”,并非只能指两者,可用“…and…”也可接复数名词。如:
The teacher sat between Tom, Jack, Kate, Jane and Mary.
You’d better eat nothing between meals.
among 则笼统地指“在…之中”,后接复数名词或代词。
The teacher sat among the students.
8. except, besides, but, except for, but for, except that/ when
1) except 用作介词,意为“除了”。整个句子所表达的意思重点在 except 所构成的介
词短语上。例如:
Nobody felt anxious except him. (只有他才焦虑不安)
2) except 和 besides
两者都有“除去”之意,但前者指“但并不包括”,是“排除”之意;后者指
“除此之外还有”,有“外加”之意。例如:
There are six of us besides Tom. (除汤姆外,另外我们还有 6 个人。)
3) except 和 but
but 用作介词时,意思是“除…外”,“别无…”,“只有…”; but 多与 no
one,nothing,who,all,everyone 等连用,它可与 except 互换。例如:
No one but a fool would believe it.
Who but he would do such a thing?
4) except for 和 except that/when
二者意为“只是”或“除…外”,表示理由或细节,修正前面所说的情况。except
for 后面接单词,except that/when 后面接句子。整个句子所表达的意思重点在主句
中,而 except 所构成的介词短语只是次要的。例如:
Your composition is good except for a few spelling mistakes.
(= Your composition is good except that there are a few spelling mistakes.)
比较:All the compositions are good except Li Hua’s.
(大家的作文都好,只有李华的除外。)
5) except for 和 but for
except for 用于陈述语气,but for 用于虚拟语气“要不是…”。例如:
Except for its temples,the place is not worth seeing.
But for your help, I couldn’t have finished the work on time.
6) except but 十动词不定式(可带 to 或不带 to,当 but 或 except 之前没有动词“do”

·9·
的某种形式时,其后的不定式要带 to。)例如:
They did nothing except/but watch TV.
I could not do anything except/bur just wait for him to come round.

化,也应能加以分析,确定选用哪种形式。例如:
It was he who told a lie.

·12·
It’s not me (who / whom) he wants. (作宾语)
This is a secret;it's between you and me.(作介词宾语)
2) 人称代词宾格可用在比较状语从句一类的结构中代替主格。例如:
He is taller than me / I (am). I don't swim so well as her / she (does).
2. 两种所有格
人称代词所有格称为物主代词。物主代词分为两类:
① 形容词性的,如 my, her, your, their 等;
② 名词性的,如 mine,hers,yours,theirs 等。由于受汉语影响,我们常犯以下两种错误:
1) 漏用代词,主要是形容词性的物主代词,因为汉语中常常将它省略。例如:
I have done my homework.(不能说 * I have done homework.)
We clean our classroom every day.(不能说 * We clean classroom every day.)
2) 误用代词,混淆两种类型的物主代词,因为汉语中无此区别。例如:
That dictionary is not mine.(不能说 * That dictionary is not my.)
Mine is here.(不能说 * My is here.)
注意:形容词性的物主代词只能用作定语,必须与名词连用。例如
What's her name? I am your friend.
名词性的物主代词则可充当名词所能充当的各种句子成分。如:
Your pen is black;mine is blue.(作主语)
You haven't got a bike?You may use mine.(作宾语)
但是 its 一般不能单独使用。需要时可以用 its own。如:
That's the cat's basket. It's its own.
3. 代词做短语动词宾语时的位置
当短语动词由“动词+副词”构成时,代词作宾语必须放在动词和副词中间,名词则不受
此限制。如:
He looked up the word in the dictionary. He looked the word up in the dictionary.
He looked it up in the dictionary.
但如果是由“动词+介词”构成的介词动词,代词作宾语还是要放在介词之后。例如:
He's been looking for them all this morning.
二. 反身代词
1. “反身”用法
反身代词作句中宾语时,表示动作返回到主语本身。或者说,句子的主语和宾语是同一个人
或物。例如:
He hurt himself.(作动词宾语)
Dick bought himself a new coat.(作间接宾语)
I heard Jane talk to herself.(作介词宾语)
2. 强调用法
反身代词用作同位语时,在句中起强调作用,其位置也比较灵活。例如:
I went to see the mayor myself.(强调主语)
We spoke to the mayor himself.(强调宾语)
The mayor himself met us at the door.(紧随主语之后)

·13·
The mayor met us at the door himself.(在句末)
3. 使用反身代词时的常见错误
反身代词一般不可用作句子中的主语、表语或定语。如:
* Ourselves can do it.(误作主语)
We can do it ourselves. 我们自己能干。
* I could hardly imagine that the car was himself.(误作表语)
I could hardly imagine that the car was his own. 简直难以想象那汽车是他自己的。
* That's myself problem.(误作定语)
That's a problem of my own.那是我自己的问题。
注意:在少数习惯表达中反身代词可不受语法限制。
I'm not myself today. (我今天不在状态/感觉不好。)
In office myself, I helped her get a job.
(我帮她在我自己的办公室找了一份工作。)
三. 不定代词
1. 用 some 还是用 any
1) 一般说来,some 用于肯定;any 用于否定,例如:
There are some letters for you. There aren't any letters for me.
2) 疑问句中,一般用 any,如问话人心中已经有“数”,或认为对方会做出肯定回答时,
用 some。试比较:
Have you any apples? (I can't see any.)
Could I have some of those apples? (which I can see.)
3) 注意其它方式的否定因素也可决定应该用 any,如:
I don't think there are any letters.(主句动词否定转移,从句中用 any。)
The boy solved the problem without any difficulty. (介词 without 含否定意味。)
4) any 在表示“任何(人或物)”时,可用于肯定句中:
Oh! Any book will do;I just want something to read on the train.
5) 当说话人心中有“数”(尽管可能不是具体数字)时,否定句中也用 some,如:
Some boys haven't done their homework.(肯定有人没做,尽管不一定知道是多少人。)
6) any 可用条件从句中,表示情况不明或未定,如:
Let me know if you need any help.(不知道对方是否需要帮助。)
试比较: Let me know if you need some help.(知道能如何提供帮助。)
2. all 和 both
1) all 和 both 后面的 of 可有可无。
All / Both (of) the desks are new.
注:Both the desks... = Both of the desks... = Both desks...(the 或 of the 可有可无)
2) 注意下列两种句子里 all/both 的位置:
They all / both agree with me. I agree with them all / both.
句中 all 或 both 直接跟在代词(主格或宾格)之后作同位语;其它不定代词不能这样用。
3) all/both 同频度副词一样,可位于句中(主、谓语之间或谓语动词结构之中),如:
They all / both came. They were all / both waiting.

·14·
(注;each 也能这样用,其它不定代词都不能。)
3. either 与 neither
either 指“两者之中任何一个”,neither 指“两者都不”通常与单数动词连用。但在非正式
英语中也可与复数动词连用。例如:
You've got two answers. Either is correct. Neither is wrong.
There are trees on either/each side of the street.
Neither of the books is worth reading.(=Neither of the books are worth reading)
4. nobody, no one, nothing 和 none
nobody 和 no one 指人,作单数,后面不能接 of 短语,例如:
Nobody/No one knows why she was late again.
Nobody was hurt in the match,were they?(反意疑问句中,可用复数代词 they 来代替。)
nothing 指物,作单数;none 指人或物,作单救或复数均可。none 既可用于可数名词,也可
用于不可数名词, 例如:
None of the money on the table is mine.
None of his reasons was/were true.
There's nothing on the table but a blue cap.
Of all my classmates, none likes dancing.
5. every 与 each
every 强调的是“全体”;each 则强调的是具体“每一个”。例如:
On every/each side of the square there were soldiers.
(The square has more than two sides。every side = each side =all sides 表示“每边、各边”。)
试比较:
On either/each side of the road there were soldiers.
(The road has only two sides. either side= each side = both sides,表示二者之中“每一边”。)
此外,each 可作名词性代词,如:
Each has two books.(each 作主语)
We each are satisfied with our own rooms.
(each 作同位语,常位于主语和谓语动词之间,谓语动词及代词等应与主语一致。)
We are satisfied with our own rooms each. (each 作同位语时,也可置于句末。)
6. other, the other 和 another
1) other 表示“另外的(人或物)”,“其他的(人或物)”,其复数形式为 others。例如:
There are other ways of doing this exercise.
Lei Feng was always ready to he1p others.
2) the other 表示两者之中的“另一个(人或物)”,其复数形式为 the others,例如:
He has a pen in one hand and a book in the other.。
Only three of the students were in the classroom;the others were all on the playground.
当 other 泛指“别人”时,前面不加定冠词:
We must always be ready to help others.
3) another 表示不定数目中的“另一个或类似的下个(人或物)”,还可与数词连用,表
示“再,又”的意思。例如:

·15·
How about another cup of tea?
The strike may last another two weeks.
7. one
1) one 只可用于指代可数名词,其复数形式是 ones。例如:
If you can't find your pen,use the one on the table.
What nice shirts!which one/ones shall we buy?
2) one/ones 通常不能直接用在 their,my,his 等物主代词以及 a(n),own,several 和
名词所有格后面。例如:
His knife seems sharper than mine.(不能用 my one 代替 mine)
They don't like this town;they want very much to go back to their own. (不能用 * their
own one 代替 their own 或 their own country)
但是,当 one/ones 前面还带有形容词时,则例外。如:
Have you any knives?I need a sharp one.
My old dictionary isn't as good as John's new one.
3) the/this/that one 与 that:
that 可以指代不可数名词,而 one 不能。如:
The weather in Wuhan is much warmer than that in Tianjing. (that 不能用 the one 取代)
that 后面常接 of 短语,例如:
This dictionary is more expensive than that one.(that one=that dictionary. one 一般不省略)
The window of your room is much bigger than that of mine.(that=the window,它后面有
of 短语,一般不用 the one 替代)
有时候 the one 和 that 可以互相取代,如:
The gold ring is in that box --- the one(=that)with the key in the lock.
4) one 可以泛指人,相当于 you,we,people,其所有格为 one's。例如:
One should do one's/his duty.
数词
1. 拼法需要当心的序数词
在 first,second 和 third 之后的序数词都由基数词加 -th 构成,但要注意以下拼法略有变化:
twentieth, thirtieth, fortieth… fifth eighth ninth twelfth..
2. 序号的表示
1) 基数词放在名词之后,通常写作阿拉伯数,如:
page 4(P.4)读作 page four Room301 读作 room three O [ou] one
Tel No.864412 读作 telephone number eight six double four one two
2) 序数词放在名词之前,通常前面要加定冠词.如:
the Eighth Lesson(=Lesson Eight) the First Middle School(=Middle School No. 1)
3. 数词后面的名词用单数还是用复数
表示计量时,基数词后面的名词用复数形式,但是在带有数字的复合名词(常用作定语)
里,名词只用单数形式。试比较:
They baby is only six moths old. This is a six-moth-old baby.
I have five pounds. I have a five-pound note.

·16·
4. hundreds / thousands / millions of + 名词复数
hundred, thousand 和 million 后加 –s 与 of 连用,表示“数百、数千、数百万”。
He has bought hundreds of books this year.
Thousands of seagulls arrived to help the farmers save their crops.
5. dozen 和 score
用法与 hundred, thousand, million 基本相似 dozens of 和 scores of 均表示“几十个”。但有以
下几点区别:
1) 在接具体名词复数时 dozen 后不加 of,而 score 常与 of 连用。如:
two dozen books two score (of)books
2) 若名词被限定词限定,dozen 后应加 of,接宾格代词亦如此。
three dozen of those (the, my, those) books three dozen of them
6. 表示不定数量的常用单词和词组
这些单词或词组与名词的搭配关系见下表
用于可数名词 用于不可数名词 用于可数名词和不可数名词
a bit of
(a) few (a) little all
fewer less plenty of
(the) fewest (the) least a lot of; lots of
a (great) number of a great deal (amount) of enough
many much more; most
several some; any
hundreds of
dozens of
1) (a) few 和(a) little
a few 和 a little 与 some 的意思较接近,表示“有几个;有一点”。few 和 little 则表示
“几乎没有(= almost none)”的意思。试比较:
She doesn’t seem very friendly; she has few friends。 (not many friends)
Although she has been here only a short time, she has made a few friends. (some friends)
I can’t make a pie because there is little sugar. (not much sugar)
There is a little sugar for your coffee. (some sugar)
2) 用 fewer 还是用 less
从理论上讲 few 的比较级形式 fewer 用于复数名数前;little 的比较级形式 less 用于不可
数名词前,但是在现代英语中,尤其是在非正式场合下,也常用 less 代替 fewer;例如:
If on1y there were fewer/less holes in the roof?
3) many + a + 名词单数
many a 后接可数名词单数形式,表示“好些;许多”,多用于书面语或演讲中。
Many a young man has had such a chance. (动词用 has)
many a time 则看作是固定词组,表示“多次”。
That’s happened to me many a time.

四、关于倍数表达的一个问题

在英语学习中涉及到倍数问题时, 常见以下三种倍数表达的基本句型:
(1) This street is four times the 1ength of that one.
这条街是那条街的四馆长。(这条街比那条街长三倍。)
(2) This box is three times as heavy as that one.
这个箱子是那个箱子的三倍重。 (这个箱子比那个箱子重两倍。)
(3)The meeting room is three times bigger than our office.
会议室比我们的办公室大三倍。(会议室是我们办公桌的四倍大。)
句型(1)和句型(2)人们并不难以理解; 同学们也很容易接受,因为它们很符合汉语的翻译习惯。

·19·
但是, 句型(3)笔者却认为汉语译文是错误的。
句型(3)的译法在我国英语界的一些书刊杂志上说法都不一致,似乎没有定论。有的译为 "是...
的三倍大";有的译为"比...大三倍"。甚至一些语法书、工具书和词典都相互矛盾,举几例如下:
A pen is three times more expensive than a pencil.
"钢笔比铅笔贵三倍"详见陈胥华的《英汉对译指导》P.366,湖北教育出版社 1981 年 6 月 1 版。
Output of chemical fertilizer was more than 2.5 times greater. "化肥产量增长了
1.5 倍(以上)" 详见张道真《实用英语语法》P.102, 1979 年 8 月修订 2 版。
Our county's agricultural output is 11 per cent higher than that of last year.
"我县农业总产值比去年增长百分之十一。" 详见薄冰、赵德鑫合编的《英语语法手册》1978 年
6 月修订 2 版(商务印书馆)。
其实,句型(1)、(2)、(3)的三种表达法都属同一种译法,没有任何区别。在使用句型(3)时, 产生翻
译错误的原因不外乎人们认为句中含有 "more than", 而根据汉语习惯去翻译, 但在英语国家里绝
不会出现这种混淆现象。
费致德先生在《现代英语惯用法词典》(1981 年 7 月 1 版,商务印书馆)中也强调句型(1)、(2)、(3)
所表达的是相同的数量概念.。详见该词典第 795 页:
1. A 比 B 差不多大三倍的表达方式有下列三种, 其中 C 项有些语法学家认为不对, 但现已广
泛使用。
a. A is about three times as large/big as B.
b. A is about three times the size of B.
c. A is about three times larger than B.
费致德先生肯定了这三种句型是同一种意思。但遗憾的是他将 "A 是 B 的三倍"也误写为 "比...
大三倍"; 如果据此对照去译,便与句型 (1) 和 (2) 相矛盾。
为了进一步证明这一问题, 笔者又写信给上海外国语学院, 向《新编英语语法》主编章振邦教
授请教了这一问题,章教授在回信中说:
按照英语国家的表达习惯,five times as... as/five times more /five times greater than 所表达的
是相同的数量概念,就拿你讨论的句子为例:
This street is four times the length of that one.
= This street is four times as long as that one.
= This street is four times longer than that one.
= This street is four-fold longer than that one.
= This street is 300%longer than that one.
(这条街比那条街长三倍/百分之三百。)
这就是说, 表达倍数若用...times 或 fold 则不论何种句型中都表示包括基数 100%在内, 所
以"four times longer than/as long as/the length of" 都只表示"长三倍"; 但若在"more/greater than"结构
中用百分比则表示净增数(见上例中最后一句)。所以: "A is three times bigger than B" 译成汉语时应
该是"A 是 B 的三倍大" 或者 "A 比 B 大两倍"。
据以上种种例证和专家详细的解释, 我们可以得出结论, 本文开头的例句 (3) 的汉语译句是错
误的, 应该改为: "会议室比我们的办公室大两倍。" 或者, "会议室是我们办公室的三倍大。" 同学们
在学习这种句型时尤其要注意这一点。

五、形容词和副词

形容词可用于作表语、定语、宾语补足语、状语等;副词也可以作表语、定语、宾语补足语、状
语等。
一、 形容词作定语时的位置
大部分形容词作定语时放在所修饰的名词前面, 如 a red bus, a beautiful park, cold weather 等,
但实际运用时须注意以下情况。
1. 当多个的形容词修饰一个名词时应该注意形容词的一般排列顺序。
“限定词 + 一般描绘性形容词 + 表示大小、长短、高低的形容词 + 表示形状的形容词
+ 表示年龄、新旧的形容词 + 表示颜色的形容词 + 表示国籍、地区、出处的形容词 +
表示物质、材料的形容词 + 表示用途、类别的形容词 + 被修饰的名词”例如:
his beautiful small round old brown French wooden writing table
当然,在实际运用中用如此多的形容词修饰一个名词并不多见。
2. 形容词修饰 everything, something, anything, nothing 时, 只能放在其后面。如:
Some farmers saw something strange in the sky.
I’ve got something important to say.
There is nothing interesting at all.
3. else 只能修饰疑问代词 who, whom, whose, what 和不定代词 something, anything, nothing,
somebody, someone, anybody, anyone 和 nobody, no one.而且只能放在其后。如:
Is there anything else you want to say?
What else do you want?
else 与上述疑问代词和不定代词构成所有格时, 只能在 else 后加's, 而不能在疑问代词或
不定代词后加's. 如说 someone else's, 而不能说 * someone’s else。 who else 的所有格有两
种形式 who else's 或 whose else 例如:
— Is this hat yours?
— Whose else ( =Who else's) could it be ?
4. enough 和 nearby 作形容词时可放在所修饰的名词前,也可放在其后。如:
a nearby building =a building nearby
We have enough food(=food enough)to last us for a week.(food enough…是旧用法,现在已
不常用了。)
二、 貌似副词的形容词
在英语构词法中, 以-ly 结尾的词并不是副词,而是形容词。常见的有:e1derly (渐老的, 年龄相
当大的), friendly (朋友似的, 友好的), lively (活泼的, 生动的), lonely (孤独的, 寂寞的), lovely (可爱
的, 美丽的), orderly (有秩序的,整齐的)等。如:
She gave us a lively lesson yesterday. 她昨天给我们上了一节生动的课。
*She gave us a lesson lively. (误将 lively 用作副词, 是错句)
应该说: She gave us a lesson in a lively way. 她生动地给我们上一节课。
三、 表语形容词

·21·
形容词在句子中的主要作用是作定语、表语和宾语补足语。英语中大部分形容词都具有这些
功能。但也有少数形容词通常只作表语。常见的有 afraid, alike, alive, alone, asleep, awake, glad,
scarce, sorry, sure, worth, unable 等。例如:
The child is asleep/sleeping. (作表语)
但是:the sleeping child,不能说*the asleep child(作定语) 注意:
1) 只能作表语的形容词常可作后置定语(相当省略关系代词和系动词的定语从句)如:
Who's the greatest man (that is) alive?
The people (who are) present at the meeting are famous scientists.
The boy (who is) afraid of exams is my brother.
2) 若这些形容词前有修饰语时, 也可放在名词前面作定语, 如:
a fast asleep man, the wide awake child.
它们还可作宾语补足语和主语补足语,如:
People who find hibernating animals asleep often think they are dead. (作宾语补足语)
An enemy officer was caught alive. (作主语补足语)
四、 系表结构中形容词后的宾语
afraid, glad, sorry, sure, worth 等形容词与系动词 be, seem 等一起构成的系表结构后可以带一
个宾语。现分叙如下:
1. be afraid to do sth.表示“不敢干某事”, 而 be afraid of sth. (doing sth.) 则表示“害怕 (干)
某事”,如:
She is afraid to go out alone at night. (她不敢夜晚独自出门.)
Are you afraid of snakes? (你害怕蛇吗?)
试比较下列两个句子:
She was afraid to wake her husband.
She was afraid of waking her husband.
第一句意思是“她不敢吵醒她的丈夫.”怕她丈夫可能由此而生气。第二句的意思是“她
怕吵醒了她的丈夫。”可能因为她丈夫生病了或需要睡眠。
be afraid + that-clause 表示一种委婉的客套话, that 可以省略。如:
I am afraid (that) I can’t go with you.
2. be glad 后可接 of, 不定式或 that-clause. 如:
I am glad of your success.
I am glad to meet you.
I am glad that you have passed the examination.
3. be sorry 可接 about 或 for, 也可按不定式或 that-clause. 如:
Aren't you sorry about (for) what you've done?
I’m sorry for you.
We're sorry to hear that.
4. be sure 可接 of 或 about,也可接不定式或 that-clause。如:
We're sure of a warm welcome.
I was not sure about two things — the grammar and some of the idioms.
Are you sure that he is honest?

·22·
5. worth, worth while 和 worthy
be worth 表示“价值”时, 可直接接名词。如:
The used car is worth $300 at most.
还可接动名词的一般式, 主语为动名词的逻辑宾语。如:
This book is worth reading.
在 It is worth while 这一结构中, it 为形式主语,后面可用动名词, 也可用动词不定式:
It is worth while visiting the place.
It is worth while to visit the place. (= The place is worth visiting.)
形容词 worthy 可作定语, 修饰名词。如 a worthy team 1eader. 它与 of 连用可作后置定语。
如:
an enemy worthy of his sword (剑); a cause worthy of support
作表语时, of 后可接名词。如:
This place is worthy of a visit. 也可接动名词, 常用其被动式。如:
This place is worthy of being visited. (=This place is worth visiting.)
如不与 of 连用, 则可接动词不定式的被动式。如:
This book is worthy to be read. ( = The book is worth reading.)
五、 形容词、副词前定冠词的用法
说明:在形容词、副词的比较级和最高级中,我们所谈到的所谓的冠词 “the” 严格地说,
应该是副词,但出于习惯或者是为了使语法术语简单化,这里我们姑且仍将其称为冠词。
1. 形容词最高级前一般要加定冠词, 副词最高级前可加可不加定冠词。
2. 形容词最高级前有时加不定冠词或不加冠词, 表示“非常”。如:
This is a most interesting story.
但如果这个名词短语后面带有一个表示范围的短语或从句, 则要用定冠词。即:
This is the most interesting story in this book (I've ever heard).
3. 表示两者间“较…的一个”时, 形容比较级前需加定冠词。如:
Which is the better of the two pianos?
Who is the elder of the two brothers?
4. 一般说来, 在 same 之前要加定冠词。如:
They are exactly the same.
We are of the same age.
又如在短语中: all the same, at the same time 等。
5. 在 the + 比较级…the + 比较级…表示“越…就越…”这个结构中, 不管是形容词还是副
词都必须加定冠词。如:
The nearer an object is to us, the bigger it looks.
The more they talked, the more excited they were.
6. 在某些形容词前加上定冠词, 则表示同类人。如: the rich(富人),the poor (穷人), the young
(年轻人), the blind (盲人), the wounded (伤员), the dead (死去的人),当它们作句子的主
语时谓语动词通常用单数形式;但若是指一个人或抽象事物的形容词则常用单数形式。
Generally, the rich is cruel to the poor.
The dead is his father.

·23·
The new is sure to take the place of the old.
六、 某些常见副词的区别
1. sometimes, sometime, some time, some times
Sometimes 是副词, 意思是“有时”。如:
My father usually goes to work by bike, but sometimes on foot.
sometime 也是副词, 意思是“某个时候”。如:
I saw him sometime in October.
用在将来时的句子里表示“某日”、“某时”。如:
He will go to call on his uncle sometime next week.
some tome 作为副词词组意为“某时候”,通常用于将来时;作为名词词组则是“一些时
间”的意思。some times 的意思是“数次”。如:
Let's have dinner some time next week.
He has waited for some time.
2. fairly 和 rather
fairly 和 rather 都可以作为程度副词,都可以修饰形容词和副词;在翻译上都可以译成
“挺…地,相当…地”的意思。区别如下:
1) rather 一般用来表示消极的含义,如否定的、坏的、不理想的概念。而 fairly 一般用
来表示积极的、好的、合理想的概念。
Let’s go by bus. It’s rather cold outside. Her English is fairly good.
2) rather 可与比较级(形容词或副词)连用,也可与 too 连用,表示 a little(有点)、
slightly (稍微)的意思,fairly 则不能这样用。
a) 与比较级连用,“……多了”
My brother is rather better today.
This dictionary is rather more expensive than that one.
b) 与 too 连用“有点…;稍微…”
This book is rather too difficult for the juniors and rather too easy for the seniors.
We had a fairly nice dinner, but the price is rather too high.
c) 当修饰名词且有不定冠词时,冠词应该放在 fairly 前,rather 之后。
如:a fairly pretty girl / rather a bad boy
3. 即可作形容词又能作副词的 “-ly”副词的用法
1) 抽象与具体
a) deep 和 deeply 一般说来,用于具体的情况时 deep 和 deeply 均可(但 deep 更常
用); deeply 用于抽象的情况。
He dived deep /deeply into the water. (具体)
I was deeply moved by his heroic deeds. (抽象)
b) high 和 highly
The bird is flying high in the sky. (具体)
He was highly thought of by the students. (抽象)
c) wide 和 widely
He opened his eyes wide. (具体)

·24·
English is widely used in the world. (抽象)
2) 习惯用法
a) easy 与 easily
副词 easy 常用于习语中
go easy (宽容);go easy on (节省);take it easy (放松);easy does it (不着忙);
get off easy (不受严厉惩罚);stand easy (休息);Easy come, easy go. (来的易去
的快)
除习语外的情况,多用 easily。例如:
This TV set can be easily moved about.
b) aloud, loud, loudly
aloud “大声地”,常与 cry, shout 连用;表示“出声地”与 silently 相对。
The boy in the water is crying aloud for help. Please read the text aloud.
loud 主要说明人的谈笑声音,常与 speak, talk, laugh, say, shout 连用。但如果说
的是消极行为,则用 loudly。loudly 常含有“喧闹、嘈杂、吵闹”之意。
He was about to speak loud when the naughty boy began to cry loudly.
另外,loudly 还可以表示“引人注目地、花哨地”如:
Today she is very loudly dressed.
c) slow 与 slowly
在 walk, run, climb, go, speak, read, burn 以及 how 之后常用 slow, 如:
How slow he climbs up the hill!
其他场合一般用 slowly
She eats more slowly of all the family.
d) quick 与 quickly
两者意思均为“快地;迅速地”但在“as…as”结构中,quick 较为多用。
He ran as quick as I did at the sports meeting.
另外,在口语中, quick 通常在词组中作副词,如在 Come quick(快点来)这
样的词组中,但在正式写作中,要求使用 quickly
3) 意义相似,常可互换。
这样的词常见的有: clear / clearly; direct / directly; free / freely; bad / badly; quiet /
quietly 等等。但值得注意的是,有些场合带-ly 的副词通常表示方式,不带-y 的副
词通常表示结果。例如:
The door is closed tight. Please tightly close the door.
The photo has not come out clear. He remembers the photo clearly.
七、 频率副词
常见的频率副词有 always, usually, often, sometimes, seldom, hardly, never 等。
1. 频率副词在句中通常放在行为动词之前,系动词、情态动词或助动词之后。如:
I usually get up at six in the morning.
Li Ming is often late for school.
We could hardy understand him.
在简略答语和省略句中,则常放在系动词、情态动词或助动词之前。如:

·25·
Can they usually find time for amusements?
Yes, they always can.
为了加强语气,也可放在句首。其中 often, seldom, hardly, barely, never 在句首时,句子要
倒装。如:
Sometimes we play basketball, sometimes we play table tennis.
Often did we warn them not to do so.
2. 其中 seldom, hardly, 和 never 常看作否定词,因此在构成反意疑问句时,附加疑问句部
分常用肯定式。如:
You seldom go to your uncle’s, do you?
She can hardly read and write, can she?
八、 older 和 elder; farther 和 further
1. old 的比较级和最高级有两种形式,即 older, elder 和 oldest, eldest。在就年龄作比较时和
修饰物时要用 older, oldest。如:
I am one year older than you.
Mr. Smith is the oldest in the office.
My coat is older than yours.
elder 和 e1dest 主要用来表示兄弟姊妹之间的长幼关系,不能修饰物。如:
My elder sister is at college.
He is my eldest daughter.
Who is the eldest of the three (sisters 或 brothers)?
下面一句最能说明两者之间的区别:
My elder brother is one year older than I.
2. far 的比较级和最高级也分别有两种形式,即 farther 和 further; farthest 和 furthest。对距
离进行比较,即表示“更远”、“较远”时,美国英语常用 farther, farthest, 英国英语中
further 较 farther 更常用。如:
He is too tired to go any further (farther).
The school is on the further (farther) side of the mountain.
further 的主要意思是“进一步”(此时不能用 farther 代替)。如:
Don’t make any change till further notice.
Please wait for further information.
furthest 现在已很少使用了,对距离或者是程度比较都常用 farthest。如:
Who ran (the ) farthest? She is the farthest advanced of all my students.
九、 形容词、副词比较级前的程度状语
形容词、副词的比较级前可有一个状语,表示比较的程度,常见的有:
1. many, much, a lot, a good (great) dea1, far (by far) 等表示“…得多”,如:
We are making far greater progress now than we did last year.
She looks much younger than she actually is.
Joan made a lot more paper flowers than Mary.
2. some, any 表示“一些”。some 用于肯定句,any 用于否定句或疑问句。如:
I have got some more books, but not enough. Have you got any more money from him?

·26·
3. a little, a bit 表示“稍许”,“一点儿”。如:
May I stay here a little longer? This lesson is a bit more difficult than that one.
4. still, even 等表示“甚至更”、“还要”。如:
Tom studies harder than Jack. Peter studies even (still) harder.
5. 当副词 all 修饰比较级时,前面应加定冠词 the,意思是“越发地…”
When I learned that he was a boy of not more than ten, my wonder was all the greater.
6. 在比较句型 more than 的结构中应注意以下几点
1) 表示“弱化比较”意义的形容词无论是多音节还是单音节,一概用 less。例如:
My father is less angry than yesterday. (我爸爸的气较昨天消了一些。)
2) no + 比较级 + than 表示“只有”“仅”“就那么……”或“一样”。如:
My whole school education added up to no more than one year.
I could see no more than you.
3) not + 比较级 + than 表示“不比”,“不足”。如:
That boy is not more than fifteen, I think..
请注意下面的句子
They designed a device (装置) no bigger / not bigger than a match box.
用 no bigger than 表示这一装置“仅一个火柴盒那么大”;用 not bigger 表示这一装
置“还没有一个火柴盒大”。
4) no more…than 或 not…any more than“和…一样地不…”,意味着两者都否定,但
往往着重说明前面的一个分句,其作用相当于“neither…nor”。例如:
Mary is no more diligent than Tom. = Neither Mary nor Tom is diligent.
“玛丽和汤姆俩人都不勤奋。”
5) not more… than“不如…;不及于…”,语气常着重于后面的一个分句,常可与
“not so / as … as”互换使用。例如:
This story is not more interesting than that one.
= This story is not so/as interesting than that one.
7. 用数字表示确切的量或倍数关系。如:
There are 10 more students in our class than in Class 2.
Mr. Johnson is three years older than his wife.
十、 倍数表示法
英语中表示倍数的方法大致有三种,即:
1. A + be (或谓语动词) + 数词 + times + as + 形容词原级 + as B.
This playground is three times as large as that one.
2. A + be ( 或 谓 语 动 词 ) + 数 词 + times + the + (size, weight, length, width, depth, height,
number…) + of + B.
This playground is three times the size of that one.
3. A + be (或谓语动词) + 数词 + times + 形容词比较级 + than B.
This playground is twice larger than that one.
以下句子的意思是相同的。
This street is four times the length of that one.

·27·
= This street is four times as long as that one.
= This street is four times longer than that one.
= This street is four-fold longer than that one.
注意:但若表示“比…大 (长、宽、重、高、深…等)多少”,须用“数字%+比较级+
than”来表达。上句还可转换为:
This street is 300% longer than that one.
(这条街比那条街长三倍/百分之三百。或:这条街是那条街四倍长)

六、作后置定语用的形容词短语

许多形容词可以与某些词(组)或结构搭配构成形容词短语。当这些短语在句子中作名词的修
饰语时, 应该后置, 其语法功能相当于一个省略形式的定语从句 (限制性或非限制性均可), 也就是
说后置的形容词短语相当于省去 "which/who/that + be" 之后保留下来的表语。这种形容词短语的
构成方式大致可以分为以下几种:
一、两个或两个以上的形容词可以在一起由 and 或 but 连接而构成形容词短语。这种短语作后置
定语时, 一般修饰具有泛指意义的名词。如:
He is a man rude but henpecked.他是一个粗暴而惧内的男人。
children innocent, lively and lovely 天真而又活泼可爱的孩子
(注: 此类形容词短语亦可作前置定语)
二、有些形容词常与某些介词短语搭配, 作后置定语。如:
The leaders present at the meeting tota11ed eight.出席会议的领导共有八人。
This is a subject worthy of careful study.这是一个值得仔细研究的问题。
另外, 有些形容词 (表语形容词除外) 与介词搭配时, 我们还可以把它和其后的介词拆开,
即将形容词置于名词之前, 将介词短语置于名词之后。如:
a question different from this one = a different question from this one 一个与此不同的问题
三、少数形容词后面可以直接跟逻辑宾语, 用以构成后置定语来修饰名词。如:
She owns a diamond worth four thousand francs 她有一颗价值四千法郎的钻石。
a boy afraid (that) he can’t pass the exam 一个怕这次考试不能及格的男孩
a student confident (that) he will be able to pass the exam 一个对通过考试很有自信心的学生
*有的语法书上认为形容词后面的 that 从句是状语从句, 有的认为是宾语从句。笔者认为
这两种说法均有道理, 但总归是形容词和从句构成了形容词短语。如:
We are afraid that you'll not get here on time.
四、有些形容词可以与后面的动词不定式一起构成可以置于名词之后的短语。如:
Lei Feng was a good comrade, always ready to help others.
雷锋是个好同志, 他总是乐于助人。
so...to do, too...to do 和...enough to do 等不定式惯用结构也可以用于修饰前面的名词。如:
questions so easy to answer 容易回答的问题
problems too difficult to solve 难以解决的问题
若被修饰的名词前面有不定冠词, 我们还可以用分隔形式。也就是将形容词放在不定冠
词前面, 将不定式放在名词后面。
She is a nurse careful enough to tend patients. = She is careful enough a nurse to tend patients.
她是一位照料病人足够细心的护士。
五、少量形容词后面可以加-ing 分词构成可以后置的短语。如:
peasants busy getting in crops 忙于收割庄稼的农夫们
a student long understanding the problem 好不容易才弄懂这个问题的学生

·30·
六、表示距离和时间的名词词组常与后面的形容词一起构成可以后置的形容词短语。如:
a 1eaning tower about 180 feet high 一座约一百八十英尺高的斜塔
a poor little boy, not over 12 years old 一个不超过十二岁的贫苦小男孩
七、后置的形容词短语还可常由 more...than, no more...than 和 not more...than 等比较级结构或
as...as 结构组成。如:
a student no more diligent than Tom 一个和汤姆一样不勤奋的学生
a book as interesting as this one 一本与此书同样有趣的书
这种结构同样可以采取分隔形式:
She is a girl as clever as Mary. = She is as clever a girl as Mary.
她是一个象玛丽一样聪明的姑娘。
八、有些表语形容词(一般多为 a-开头)也可以置于名词之后,其功能相当于定语从句。如:
the baby asleep 那个熟睡的婴儿
the boy afraid of exams 那个怕考试的男孩
九、单个的分词修饰名词时,可以前置,也可以后置。如:
a stolen car = a car stolen 被盗的轿车
若用分词短语修饰名词, 则应后置。如:
a girl interested in maths 一位对数学感兴趣的姑娘
the man married to Helen 那位与海伦结了婚的男人

七、“It”的用法

“It”在英语中用法非常广泛,但也容易被人误用。笔者现将其常见用法做一简要介绍。
一、 作为代词的 it
1. 用作人称代词,代替前文提到过的事物。
The frog is not a warm-blooded animal.
It’s a cold-blooded one.
2. 用以代替提示代词 this, that。
— What’s this? —It’s a flag.
— Whose exercise book is that? — It’s here.
3. 起指示代词的作用,指一个人或事物。
— Who is knocking at the door? — It’s me.
— Who is making such a noise? — It must be the children.
4. 指环境情况等。
It was very quiet (noisy) at the moment.
5. 指时间,季节等。
— What time is it? — It is eight o’clock.
6. 指天气或气候。

·31·
It often rains in summer.
It’s very cold today, isn’t it?
7. 指距离。
It is five kilometers from the office to my home.
It is a long way to the factory.
二、 作为引导词的 it
1. 作形式主语。
当动词不定式(或不定式的复合结构)、动名词或从句作主语时,通常把它们放在谓语之后
而用 it 作句子的形式主语。例如:
It is not easy to finish the work in two days.
It is not a good habit to stay up late.
It is no use crying over the spilt milk.
It is a pity that you didn’t read the book.
2. 作形式宾语。
当复合宾语中的宾语是不定式、动名词、宾语从句时, 往往把宾语放在它的补足语后面,而
用 it 作形式宾语,放在宾语补足语之前。例如:
I think it no use arguing with him.
I found it very interesting to study English.
He made it clear that he was not interested in this subject.
3. 用于强调结构。
要强调句子的某一部分(通常是主语、状语、宾语),可以把 it 当作先行词。这种句子的结构
是 “It is (was)+被强调部分+that (who) +句子的其余部分.” 如果被强调的部分是人, 可用
who, whom 代替 that, 例如:
It is Prof. Lin who / that teaches us English.(强调主语)
It is English that Prof. Lin teaches us.(强调宾语)
It was in Shanghai that I saw the film.(强调状语)
It was in 1975 that I worked in a factory.(强调状语)

八、情态动词

情态动词顾名思义就是表示情感和态度的词,常见的有:can (could); may (might); must;


have to; shall (should); will (would); need; dare (dared); ought to; 情态动词没有人称和数的变化,不
能单独使用,它与其后的动词原形合成谓语结构。它们的用法如下:
一. can 和 could 的用法
1. 表示能力或客观的可能性,还可以表示请求和允许。如:
Can you finish this work tonight? Man cannot live without air.
— Can I go now? — Yes, you can.
注意:
1) could 表示语气较委婉的请求,主要用语疑问句,(用于此意义时不用在肯定句)
答语用 can。
— Could I come to see you tomorrow?
— Yes, you can. (不能用 could). (否定句常用 No, I'm afraid not.)
2) can 表示能力时,还可以用 “be able to” 代替,例如:
I'll be able to come this afternoon.
但当我们要表示“某件事已成”时,须用 “was (were) able to”不能用 could,例如:
He was able to go to the party yesterday evening and he enjoyed himself very much.
2. 表示“惊异、怀疑、不相信”的态度。(主要用在否定句、疑问句和感叹句中)
Can this be true? How can you say like that? This cannot be done by him.
3. “can (could) + have + done” 的疑问或否定形式表示对过去发生的行为怀疑或不肯定。
He cannot have been to that town. Can he have got the book?
二. may 和 might 的用法
1. 表示许可,表示请求、允许时,might 比 may 的语气更加委婉一些,否定回答时可用
can’t 或 mustn’t, 表示“不可以、禁止、阻止”之意。 例如:
— Might I use your pen? — No, you mustn’t.
— May I take this book out? — Yes, you can (— No, you can’t/ mustn’t.)
用 May I… 征询对方许可在文体上较正式,在口气上比较客气,在日常口语中,用 Can
I… 征询对方意见在现代口语中更为常见。
2. 用于表示祝愿的句子中。例如:
May you success! May you be happy! May you have a good journey!
3. 表示推测、可能(疑问句中不用于此意)
He may be very busy now. (此句中用 might 语气较弱)
4. “May (Might) + have + done” 表示对过去发生的行为的推测。例如:
He may not have finished the work. (此句中用 might 语气较更弱)
三. must 和 have to 的用法

·34·
1. 表示“必须、必要”。
You must come on time.
当 must 引出的问句时, 若是否定的回答,不能用 mustn’t,而用 needn’t 或 don’t have
to.
— Must we hand in our exercise our books today?
— Yes, you must. (No, needn’t/you don’t have to.)
2. “must be + 表语”的结构表示推测,它的否定或疑问形式用 can 代替 must。如:
He must be our new teacher.
Can he be our new teacher? He can’t be our new teacher.
※ 附加疑问句要和谓语动词实际时态一致。如:
He must be our new teacher, isn’t he?
3. “must + have +done” 的结构常用在肯定句中,表示对过去或完成的情况推测,它的否定
或疑问形式也用 can 代替 must.
He must have finished his work.
※ 附加疑问句也要和谓语动词实际时态一致。如:
He must have finished his work already, hasn’t he?
He must have finished his work at four yesterday, didn’t he?
4. have to 的含义与 must 相似,两者往往可以互换使用,但 have to 有各种形式,随 have
的变化而定,must 与 have to 有下列几点不同:
1) must 表示的是说话人的主观看法,而 have to 则往往强调客观需要,例如:
The play is not interesting. I really must go now.
I had to work when I was your age.
2) 两者的否定意义大不相同。例如:
You mustn’t go. (你不可以去) You don’t have to go. (你不必去)
3) 询问对方的意见时应用 must。
Must I hand in the exercise book before eight?
4) must 表示“偏偏”
Must it rain today? (今天怎么偏偏下雨呢?)
四. dare 和 need 的用法
1. need 表示“需要,必须”,作情态动词时,仅用于疑问句和否定句,在肯定句中一般
用 must, have to, ought to,或 should 代替。例如:
You needn’t come so early.
— Need I clean all the room right now? — Yes, you must. (— No, you needn’t.)
注意:needn’t + have +done 表示“本来不必要做的事而实际上做了”,例如:
You needn’t have waited for me. 你本来没有必要等我的。
2. dare 作情态动词时,主要用于疑问句,否定句和条件句中,一般不用于肯定句,例如:
How dare you take my book without permission?
He dare not speak English before such a crowd, dare he?
3. need 和 dare 作情态动词时,过去时形式与现在形式相同(美国英语中可用 dared)。
He was so angry that no one dared say a word.

·35·
They said that he needn’t stay there any longer.
4. need 和 dare 常用实义动词,有时态、人称和数的变化。不同的是 dare 作实义动词时,在
肯定句中通常接带 to 的不定式,在疑问句和否定句中,dare 之后的不定式可带 to 或不
带 to。例如:
He needs to finish the work before nightfall.
I dare to swim across this river.
He does not dare (to) answer the teacher’s question.
Don’t you dare (to) touch it?
I wonder he dared say that.
5. I dare say 是习惯用语,常可写为 I daresay,用法有以下几种:
1) “敢于说”
,通常接 that 或 what 引导的名词性从句。
I dare say that he has stolen Tom’s football. I dare say what I think.
2) “我想;恐怕;大概;也许是”,通常作插入语用,使句子委婉。
I dare say there is something wrong with the machines.
You’re tired, I dare say.
You, I dare say, think otherwise.
3) I dare say 往往也作为反语使用。
Oh, you mean to defeat our football team? I dare say you will. (噢!你们想赢我们的
足球队?也许可以吧。)
五. shall 和 should 的用法。
1. shall 用于第一人称疑问句。表示征求对方意见。
What shall we do this evening?
Shall I open the window?
2. shall 用语第三人称疑问句中,表示说话人征求对方的意见或向对方请示。
When shall he be able to leave the hospital?
3. shall 用于第二、三人称的陈述句,表示说话人给对方的“命令、警告、允诺或威胁”。
You shall fail if you don’t work harder.
He shall have the book when I finish reading.
He shall be punished.
4. should 表示劝告、建议、命令,其同义词是 ought to,在疑问句中,通常用 should 代替
ought to.
You should go to class right away.
Should I open the window?
5. should + have +done 应该做的事实上没做;shouldn’t have done 不该做的事却已经做了,
常含有责备的意思。
You should have started earlier this morning.
You shouldn’t have treated her like that.
六. will 和 would 的用法。
1. 用于疑问句表示请求、建议等,would 比 will 的语气更加委婉。
Will you please give me a hand?

·36·
Would you mind my smoking here?
2. 表示意志、愿望和决心。
I will never do that again.
They asked us if we would do that again.
3. 用“will be”和“will have done”的结构表示推测,主要用于二、三人称,前者表示对
目前的情况的推测,后者表示对已经完成的动作或事态的推测。
This will be the book you want.
He will have arrived by now.
4. would 可表示过去反复发生的动作或某种倾向,表示过去习惯时比 used to 正式,同时
它没有“现在已无此习惯”的含义。
I would visit him during my vacation.
The patient would not recover.
5. 表示料想或猜想。
He would be your new teacher.
He would not come any more.
七. ought to 的用法。
1. ought to 表示应该时意义与 should 基本一致,但更侧重于一种义务或责任。
You ought to take care of him.
Parents ought to bring up their children.
2. 表示推测,注意与 must 表示推测时的区别。
He must be home by now.
He ought to be home by now.
This is where she must be.
This is where she ought to be.
3. ought to have done 的用法与 should have done 的用法相同
注意:ought to 在美国英语中,用于否定句和疑问句时,to 可以省略。如:
Ought you smoke so much?
You oughtn’t smoke so much.
八. used to; had better; would rather 的用法。
1. used to 表示过去习惯动作或状态,现在已经不存在,在间接引语中,其形式可不变。如:
He told us he used to play football when he was young.
1) 在疑问句、否定句或否定疑问句中,可有两种形式。
疑问句:Did you used to/Used you to go to the same school as your brother?
否定句:I usedn’t to/didn’t use to go there. (usedn’t 也可为 usen’t, 发音不变)。
否定句疑问句:Usedn’t you to/Didn’t you used to be interested in the play?
2) 在附加疑问句和简略答语中,也可有两种形式。
She used to be very fat, didn’t/usedn’t she?
— Did you used to/Used you to play chess? — Yes, I did/used to.
2. had better 意为“最好”,后接不带 to 不定式。
We had better go now.

·37·
Hadn’t we better stop now?
I think I’d better be going.
You had better have done that.
3. would rather 意为“宁愿”,表示选择,后接不带 to 的不定式。
I’d rather not say anything.
Would you rather work on a farm?
— Wouldn’t you rather stay here? — No, I would not. I’d rather go there.
由于 would rather 表选择,故后面可接 than.
I would rather watch TV than go to see than go to see the film.
I would rather throw it away than you should get it.(若 than 后面接从句常用 should do)
I’d rather you didn’t talk about this to anyone.
※ would rather 还可写为 would sooner/would as soon.

九、There be 句式

“There be” 表示“存在”意义。本文对其用法作一归纳,供同学们参考。


一、 There be +n.+现在分词/过去分词/不定式。此句式中的非谓语动词用作定语。例如:
1. There were so many people watching the fire that the firefighters could not get close to the
burning building.
2. The minerals stay in the lake, because there is no river flowing out of the lake.
3. There is someone at the gate to see you.
4. There were millions of people killed in the war.
二、 there be 构成的独立主格结构在句中作状语,表示原因,条件等。例如:
1. There being no bus, he had to walk home.
(= As there was no bus, he had to walk home.)
2. There having been much rain, the potatoes went bad in the soil.
(= Since there had been much rain, the potatoes went bad in the soil.)
三、 there 常与 seem to be, appear to be, be sure to be, be likely to be, happen to be 等连用,为
there be 句式增添新的含义。例如:

·40·
1. There seem to be several reasons for changing their minds.
2. There is sure to be a restaurant near here.
3. There are likely to be more difficulties than we expected.
4. There happened to be nobody in the office.
四、 there be 可用于下列句式:
1. There is no use arguing with the old woman.
2. There is no good smoking. You’d better give it up.
3. There is no need to leave a message.
4. There is no sense (in) making your parents angry.
5. There is no harm (in) taking more exercise.
6. There is no point (in) punishing such a little boy.
五、 there be 中的 be 表示“存在”概念, 它可以由下列表示“存在”意义的动词取代:
A. there 和 exist, remain, live, lie, stand 等静态动词连用,表示一种状态。例如:
1. Once there lived a king who only cared for new clothes.
2. There stands a tower in the center of the city.
3. There remains nothing to be done.
B. there 与 come, go, occur, enter, follow, rush, run 等动态动词连用,描述某事的发生或某人、
某物的到达。例如:
1. There occurred a world-shaking incident that year.
2. There followed a terrible noise after the sudden burst of light.
3. There comes a bus.
4. There goes the bell.
六、 there be 可以和情态动词连用。例如:
1. “There must be some mistakes.” said Dr. Baker.
2. If you think there may be an earthquake, it is better to build houses on rock, not on sand.
3. There can’t have been much traffic so late that evening.
七、 there 可以和 be 的各种时态连用。例如:
1. There will be/is going to be an important exam next week.
2. There have been great changes in our hometown since 1978.
3. He said there was going to be/would be a film this evening.
八、 主谓一致。在 there be 句式中,真正的主语是其后的名词、名词短语或代词,形成倒装句
式,但这种倒装句没有相应的自然语序。be 动词的形式应与主语的人称和数保持一致。如出
现并列主语,be 动词一般应与最靠近它的主语保持人称和数的一致。例如:
1. There is a pen, two pencils and three books on the desk.
2. There are three books, two pencils and a pen on the desk.
九、 如果陈序部分是由 there be 句式构成,则应注意其末尾简短问句的构成。例如:
1. There is a bike in the garden, isn’t there?
2. There used to be a well in the yard, usedn’t/didn’t there?
3. There seems to be a tall tree behind the house, doesn’t there?

十、谈“more than”与“less than”

在中学英语学习中,more than 和 less than 的使用频率相当高,用法也较为复杂。笔者在此将


其做分别归类,以便同学们在学习中参考。
一、 more than
1. more than 可放在数词之前,表示“超过;不止;以上”,用于此意义时可与 over 互换
使用。如:
Altogether more than 70 percent of the surface of our planet is covered by water.
“整个说来,我们这个星球的表面有百分之七十以上为水所覆盖。”
2. more than 可放在名词之前,表示“不只是;不仅仅”。
Hibernation is more than sleep. “冬眠不仅仅是睡眠。”
Bamboo is used for more than building. “竹子不只是用于建筑。”
3. more than 可用于形容词或副词前,表示“非常;十分”,与 very 同义。
She is more than careful.“她非常细心。”
In class, he listens more than attentively. “在课堂上,他听讲十分认真。”
4. more than 之后接带有 can 的从句时,常表示“否定意义”。此时,从句中的谓语必须是
及物动词,并且与句子的主语发生逻辑上的动宾关系。例如:
This secret is more than we can let out.“这个秘密我们是不能泄露的。”(主语 secret 是
let out 的逻辑宾语。)
比较:less than“不;很少;不到”,具有否定意义。
a) 接形容词、副词:We were busy and less than delighted to have company that day. “那
天我们很忙,不高兴有客人来。”
b) The young man is less than twenty years old. “这个年轻人不到 20 岁。”
二、 more…than
1. “与其…不如…”;“是…而不是…”,常可与“rather than 或 not so much…as”互换
使用。
He is more like a spear than anything else.
= He is like a spear rather than anything else.
= He is not so much like anything else as like a spear.
“与其说他(指大象)像别的什么东西,不如说他像一根梭镖。”
又如:He is more poltroon than cautious. “与其说他谨慎不如说他是怯懦。”
2. more…than 之后接含有 can 的从句同样表示否定意义。
Tom has more insolence than I can stand. = Tom’s insolence is more than I can stand.
“汤姆的傲慢使我难以忍受。”
比较:less… than“不象…;不是…”
Joseph is less honest than his brother. (约瑟弗不是/象他兄弟那样诚实。)
三、 no more than 或 not any more than
两者的意思均为“只有;仅仅;不过”(= only; just)。前者多用于书面语;后者常用于口

·42·
语。
Abram Lincoln’s whole school education added up to no more than one year.
“亚伯拉罕·林肯所受的全部学校教育总共不过一年。”
比较:no less than “不少于;不下于…之多;多达;”。
In that battle, we wiped out no less than twenty thousand enemies.
“在那一次战役中,我们消灭敌人不下两万人。”
四、 no more…than 或 not…any more than
1. “和…一样地不…”,意味着两者都否定,但往往着重说明前面的一个分句,其作用相
当于“neither…nor”。例如:
Mary is no more diligent than Tom. = Neither Mary nor Tom is diligent.
“玛丽和汤姆俩人都不勤奋。”
2. “不…正如…不…一样”,常用来加重说话者的语气。例如:
We can no more leave the Party than fish can leave water.
“我们不能离开党,正如鱼儿离不开水一样。”
比较:no less…than “(至少)和…一样”
He is no less active than he used to be. “他和以前一样活跃。”
五、 not more than
常用于数词之前,意为“至多;顶多;不超过”,其意义与 at (the) most 相同。
There on some hay on the ground lay a peasant boy of not more than seventeen.
“地上的干草上躺着一个农家孩子,最多不过 17 岁。”
比较:not less than“不少于”,意义同 at (the ) least。严格说来,no less than 和 not less than
有所区别,但现代英语中已经混用,均相当于 “as many as”。
Our school has not less than / no less than three thousand students.
“我们学校拥有学生不下三千人。”
六、 not more… than
“不如…;不及于…”,语气常着重于后面的一个分句,常可与“ not so/as … as”互换使
用。
This story is not more interesting than that one. = This story is no so/as interesting than that one.
“这个故事不如那个故事有趣。”
比较:严格说来 not less…than 的意思是“至少不比…差”,意味着或许还要强一些,但现
在基本和 no less than 混用。
His English is not less than yours. “他的英语至少不比你的英语差。”

十一、主谓一致三原则

英语中主谓一致是指句中的谓语动词和主语在人称和数上保持一致。在做涉及主谓一致的练
习时,同学们有时会觉得顾此失彼。究其原因,往往是没有把握住主语的真正内涵,考虑不周全。笔
者对此问题作一总结,供同学们参考。一般来说,主谓一致要遵循以下三个原则:

·43·
一、语法一致原则
主谓一致是指句子的主语和谓语在语法形式上保持一致。
(1)主语后面有 as well as, with, together, along with, but, like, except, including 等非并列连接性
短语时, 谓语动词不受该短语中名词数的影响, 仍和主语在人称和数上保持一致。例如:
No one except two boys was late for school.
There was a bill along with the parce1.
The teacher as well as the students likes this painting.
(2)由 and 或 both.…and 连接的名词作复合主语时, 谓语动词用复数形式。例如:
The red rose and the white rose are very beautifu1.
Both bread and butter were sold out in that shop.
但要注意, 如果连接的两个名词表示同一概念, 即指同一个人或物时(其特征是 and 后的名词
没有任何冠词), 则主语表示单数意义。例如:
The secretary and principal of the schoo1 was present at the meeting.
The writer and poet has decided to be on holiday in Guilin.
(3)在 each.…and each..., every ...and every..., no...and...后分别跟单数名词作主语时, 谓语动词
用单数形式。例如:
There is no sound and no voice in the reading room.
In China every man and every woman has the right to vote on this problem.
(4) either, each, neither 或 no +单数名词以及由 no, some, any, every 等
构成的复合不定代词作主语时,谓语动词都用单数形式。例如:
Is everyone here today?
Each of us has a new book.
Neither is correct.
需要说明的是:在口语中,如果 either, neither 和 none 后面有 "of +复数名词/代词" 作主语时,
动词用单数或复数形式均可。例如:
Neither of them is/are correct.
None of the doctors have/has been to the Great Wall.
但要注意 "none of+单数名词" 作主语时, 谓语动词用单数形式。
(5) 动词不定式、动名词或名词性从句作主语时, 谓语动词用单数形式。例如:
To say is one thing, to do is another.
Seeing is believing.
What he has done is right.
但由 what 引导的主语从句作主语时, 如果其表语是复数形式, 谓语动词通常用复数形式。例
如:
What he took with him were three books.
(6) many a 后接单数名词时, 谓语动词用单数形式。例如:
Many a pilot was killed in the air raid.
(7)由 a lot of, lots of, plenty of, the rest/majority of +名词,以及由 "分数或百分数+名词" 等构成
的短语作主语时, 其谓语动词的单、复数形式则要根据名词的单、复数而定。例如:
Two-thirds of the profit was made on that deal.

·44·
The rest of the students are boys.
Two percent of the students in our class are boys.
There is still lots of water in the lake.
(8)在倒装句中, 谓语动词的数应与其后的主语保持一致。例如:
On the desk are many different books.
Such are the facts.
There goes the bell.
二、就近一致原则
如果句子有两个或两个以上的主语时, 谓语动词的单复数形式是根据靠近它的主语的单复数
来确定的。它主要用于下列情形:
⑴ 由 or, either...or..., neither...nor, not only...but also..., not...but...等连接并列主语时。例如:
Not only he but also I don't know of the matter.
Not only I but also he doesn't know of the matter.
Either he or his classmates are going to Guilin today.
(2)在 "there be ..." 句型中。例如:
There is an apple, two pears and some oranges on the plate.
There are three students, two viewers and our headmaster talking together.
三、逻辑意义一致原则
该原则指的是: 谓语动词的单复数形式不是根据语法形式而是根据主语的内在涵义(即有时
主语的单数形式表达的是复数的涵义, 反之亦然)确定的。
(1)表示时间、重量、长度、价值等名词, 尽管其形式是复数,但在概念上是一个整体, 它作主语
时, 谓语动词用单数形式。例如:
Thirty minutes is enough for the work.
Ten multiplied by three makes thirty.
Ten dollars is too dear.
Two hundred miles is a good distance.
(2)书名、影片名、格言、剧名、报刊名、国名等的复数形式往往用作单数。例如:
The United States is a developed country.
The Arabian Nights is an interesting story-book.
(3)family, group, class, army, government, team, enemy 等集体名词表示整体概念时应看作单数,
但表示组成的个体成员时, 应看作复数。例如:
Our family lives in Wuhan.
My family like watching TV at weekend.
The football team are having lunch now.
His class is on the second floor.
注意: people, police, cattle 等集体名词作主语时,常表示复数涵义。
(4) "the+形容词/分词" 结构作主语表示一类人时, 常看作复数; 表示抽象概念时, 常看作单数。
例如:
The blind are often looked down upon at present.
The wounded were still not well treated.

·45·
The beautiful lives forever.
(5)某些以 "-s" 或 "-es" 结尾的表示疾病、学科、游戏等名称的名词和 means, news, works 等常
看作单数。例如:
Diabetes (糖尿病) is a very serious disease.
Every means has been tried to save the boy.
An iron works is far from here.
(6)what, who, which, more, most, all 等代词作主语时,表示的是单数还是复数涵义要根据意义
或上下文来确定。例如:
Which are your books?
All is going well.
All have gone to Beijing.
(7) "one and a half+名词复数" 表数量作主语时, 谓语动词用单数形式。例如:
One and a half pears has been left on the table.
总之,在语言实践中, 我们不仅要记住一般的语法规则,更要把握好有些名词的内在涵义, 注意
提高辨别能力, 才能做好有关主谓一致的题目。

十二、非谓语动词

所谓非谓语动词,顾名思义也就是不能单独用作谓语的动词(但与助动词结合可构成“进
行时态、系表结构、完成时态、被动语态等谓语形式”),非谓语动词在英语句子结构中用法非常
广泛、灵活,可充当主语、表语、宾语、补语、定语、状语等。现在笔者向同学们作分类介绍:
动词不定式
一、 不定式作主语
1. 一般置于句首:
To see one time is better than to hear one hundred times.
2. 常见用 it 代替它作形式主语,而把不定式或不定式结构移到句尾:
It's our duty to serve the people.
3. 在含有不定式作主语的疑问句或感叹句中,一般只用 it 作形式主语。常见:
Is it a good idea to plant some flowers there?
不可以说:*Is to plant some flowers there a good idea?
二、 不定式作表语
连系动词 be,seem,appear,get,remain 等常用不定式作表语,如果主语部分有实义动词
do 时,表语常可用不带 to 的不定式。例如:
My idea is to have a trip on Sunday.
The only thing I can do now is wait at home.
三、 不定式作动词宾语
1. 动词+不定式:The girl asked to see the headmaster.
常 见 的 跟 带 to 的 不 定 式 结 构 作 宾 语 的 动 词 有 :
agree , aim , arrange , ask , choose , decide ,
demand,pretend,expect,hope,learn,long,manage,offer,pretend,promise,refus
e,wish,want,hate 等。但 help 后的不定式常可省掉的,如:
They helped(to)do the cleaning this morning.
2. 动词十疑问词(why 除外)+不定式:We must find out what to do next.
常 见 能 跟 “ 疑 问 词 十 不 定 式 ” 结 构 作 宾 语 的 动 词 有 : decide , find
out,forget,know,learn, remember,see,think,understand,wonder 等。
3. 形式宾语 it 十宾语补足语十不定式
I felt it my duty to report it to the headmaster.
有时也用:形式宾语 it+宾语补足语+for+名词+不定式:
All these noises made it impossible for me to go on with the work.
后接以上结构的常用动词有:feel,find,make,think,count 等。
四、 不定式作介词宾语

·48·
一般说来,不定式不用作介词宾语。但在以下两种情况则可以。
1. 在介词 but/except 之后接不定式作宾语。如果 but/except 前有实义动词 do,but/
except 后的不定式通常不带 to;如果 but/except 前没有实义动词 do,but/except 后
的不定式—般要带 to。试比较:
They could do nothing but wait for the teacher to arrive.
He seldom comes except to ask for help.
2. 介词+疑问词(why 除外)+带 to 的不定式
They are talking about where to spend their holiday.
Everyone has his own idea of how to do it.
五、 不定式作宾语补足语
这类结构常见的有:
1. 动词+宾语+带 to 的不定式
They warned us not to go out at night.
后 接 “ 宾 语 + 带 to 的 不 定 式 ” 的 动 词 常 见 的 有 :
advise , allow , ask , command , encourage ,
forbid , force , invite , require , order , persuade , cause , call on , wait for , show,
how,teach/teach how,tell/tell how 等。
2. 动词十宾语+不带 to 的不定式:Did you notice anyone take away my raincoat?
后 接 “ 宾 语 十 不 带 to 的 不 定 式 ” 的 动 词 常 见 的 有 :
feel,see,hear,let,have,make,watch,listen to, notice,observe 等。注意:
1) feel 十宾语+to be 的不定式时, to 不可省略。
2) let 变为被动态,而后面要接 to 的不定式时,to 可保留也可省略。
3) have,notice,watch 不用于被动语态。
4) see,hear,make,listen to, notice,observe 变为被动态时,后面须要改接带 to 的不
定式:
That made us wait for five years. >>> We were made to wait for five hours.
六、 不定式作定语
不定式作定语时,通常放在被修饰的名词之后,往往表示将要发生的行为。
I have no wish to become a sailor.
1. 不定式与所修饰的名词之间的逻辑关系
1) 动宾关系:
Do you have anything else to say? (anything 是 to say 的逻辑宾语)
I have a lot of things to do. (to do 与 a lot of things 之间存在逻辑动宾关系。)
2) 说明修饰的名词的内容:
She has a wish to go back to her home village.(不定式说明 wish 的具体内容)
3) 主谓关系:
The next man to come is Mr..Green(the next man 是 to come 的逻辑主语)
2. “不及物动词不定式+介词”作后置定语
如果作定语的不定式是一个不及物动词,有时需要加上一个适当的介词才能同所修
饰的名词发生联系:

·49·
They had no house to live in. There is nothing (for us) to worry about.
当不定式修饰 time,place 或 way 时,后面一般都省掉介词,例如:
They had no place to live.(一般不加 in)
There is still plenty of time to finish the work.
This is the way to wash my teeth.
3. 不定式用在 the first,the second 以及 the last,the only 等后,或用在最高级后作定语。
He loves parties; He is always the first to come and the last to leave.
She was the last one to hand in her paper.
七、 不定式作状语
1. 表示目的:
He was running to catch the bus.
不定式作目的状语时,前后常加 in order 或 so as。如:
He came here in order to learn from you.
I went early so as not to miss the train.
注意:to 或 in order to 引起的状语可放在句首或句尾:而 so as to 引起的状语只能放在
句中或句尾。
2. 表示结果:
They lifted a rock only to drop it on their own feet.
不定式作结果状语时,常与以下结构搭配:
1) so…as to “如此…以致……”
Would you be so kind as to lend me your dictionary?
2) such…as to“如此……以致¨…·”
He is such a fool as to think that he'll be a king.
3) enough to “足以……”
This sea fish looks almost good enough to eat.
He didn't jump high enough to win a prize.
4) too…to… “太…而不(以致不)…”
He was too young to understand all that.
但要注意,在以下句子中的 too…to 并无否定意义:不定式也不表示结果:
I shall be only too pleased to get home.(only too =very)
They were too anxious to leave. (too=very)
It's too kind of you to have told me that.(不定式作主语)
You are too ready to quarrel with others.(不定式作 ready 的状语)
5) 不定式前用 only 表示不愿得到的或出乎意料的结果。试比较
He went to the Internet bar to see his friend.(表目的)
He went to the Internet bar only to see his teacher.(表结果)
3. 表示原因:
We jumped with joy to hear the news.
从上可看出,表示目的、结果、原因的不定式结构形式相似,区别在于词汇意思不同,
试比较:

·50·
The woman wept to obtain sympathy.(目的:为获得同情)
The woman wept to become all tears.(结果:泪流满面)
The woman wept to hear the bad news.(原因:因闻此坏消息)
八、 不定式的复合结构
1. for+名词或代词宾格+带 to 的不定式
如果不定式结构的逻辑主语不是句子的主语,可以用 for 引起的短语来表示:
It will be a mistake for us not to help them。
We'd better find some work for the students to do.
2. of+名词或代词+带 to 的不定式
在 it 作先行词的句中,如果表语是形容词,而这个形容词又用来表不定式逻辑主语
的人或动物的性格特征或行为表现等,这时,不定式的逻辑主语常用 of 引起的短语表示:
It's kind of you to think so much of us. (=You are so kind to think so much of us.)
常 见 能 用 于 这 类 结 构 的 形 容 词 有 :
brave,clever,cruel,foolish,good,honest,horrible,kind,Lazy,nice,polite,rude
,selfish,silly,stupid,wise 等。
九、 不定式的否定式
在不定式前面加 not,never 等构成其否定式,如果该不定式前不带 to,则直接在动词原
形前面加 not,never 等。例如:
They got up early so as not to miss the early bus
They decided not to accept their invitation.
You'd better not go to the party tonight.
They are believed not to have done such a thing.
十、 不定式的完成式
1. 形式:(以 do 为例)to have done(主动形式),to have been done(被动形式);
2. 用法:不定式所表示的动作发生在谓语动词所表示的动作之前,常用不定式的完成式:
He is said to have written a new book about Europe.
不定式的完成式主要用于以下几种情况:
1) 和 seem,happen,appear,be said,be believed,be thought 等连用,构成复合谓语:
She seemed to have heard about it already.
2) 用在作表语的形容词 glad,sorry,lucky 等后面作状语:
3) 用在 pretend,expect,mean,would like 等动词后面作宾语:
I meant to have told you about it, but I forgot to do so.
十一、 不定式的进行式
1. 形式:(以 do 为例)to be doing
2. 用法:如果谓语动词表示的动作(或情况)发生时,不定式表示的动作正在进行,这
时不定式就要用进行式:
He seems to be enjoying himself.
不定式的进行式主要可以用于:
1) 构成复合谓语:
They are said to be building another bridge across the river.

·51·
2) 在某些动词后构成复合宾语:
We didn't expect you to be waiting for us here.
3) 在某些动词后作宾语:
You don't need to be worrying about her. She is safe at home.
十二、 不定式的被动式
1. 形式:(以 do 为例)to be done(一般式),to have been done(完成式);
2. 用法:当不定式的逻辑主语是用不定式所表示的动作的承受者时,不定式一般要用被
动 形式:
She asked to be sent to work in the country.
这种形式可以用来做主语、宾语、定语、状语,并可构成复合宾语或复合谓语。但须注意
的是,在某些结构中不定式虽然表示被动的含义,用的却是主动形式:
We still have many difficulties to smooth away.
They found the sentence hard to understand.
在以上句子中,虽然不定式与最近的名词(代词)有动宾关系,但与句子中另一个名
词(代词)却可能有主谓关系,运或许是用主动形式的原因。如果不存在这种主谓关系,
这不定式仍常用被动式:
Let me show you the room to be used as teachers’ reading room.

动名词
一、 动名词作主语
1. 一般置于句首:
Reading English is easier than speaking it.
2. 有时也可以用 it 作形式主语,而把动名词放在谓语动词之后。
It will be nice seeing them again.
这类句子结构常见的还有:
1) It’s no use…;It is no use crying over spilt milk.
2) It's no good…;It is no good feeling self——satisfied over your first success.
3) Is it any good…? Is it any good trying to exp1ain?
4) It's a waste of time…;It's a waste of time arguing about it.
3. 动名词还可以在 There is no…句子结构中做主语:
There is no asking him to come now.He is busy.
这种句子中的动名词常带有宾语,其句型含义相当于 It is impossible to do…
二、 动名词作表语
连系动词常与动名词连用,一起构成复合谓语:
Our task is building China into a powerfu1 modern socialist country.
三、 动名词作宾语
1. 作动词宾语:
This factory has stopped producing the old type of engine.
必 须 接 动 名 词 作 宾 语 的 动 词 常 见 的 有 :
consider,delay,dislike,enjoy,excuse,finish, give up,cannot help(禁不住),
imagine , mind , miss , practise , put off , resist , suggest ,
pardon,stop,allow,permit,forbid,appreciate 等。
2. 作介词宾语:
在介词后面,常常用动名词作宾语,这样构成的介词短语常用作定语或状语
There are several ways of doing it.(定语)
After finishing the experiments, we wrote down the results.(状语)
这样的介词短语间或作表语:
I am for putting the meeting off.

·53·

prevent…from, keep…from, stop…from, be engaged in, look forward to , depend
on , thank…for, feel like , excuse…for, aim at, devote…to, set about, spend…
(in),waste…(in),
get / be used to , be fond of be afraid of, be tired of succeed in, be interested in, feel / be
ashamed of, be proud of 等。
四、 动名词的逻辑主语:
动名词之前可以加上一个物主代词、名词的所有格、人称代词的宾格或名词的普通格,来表
示这个动名词的逻辑主语。
1. 物主代词+动名词
这种结构可置于句首,也可放在句中或句末,常可用作主语、表语、宾语或介词宾语:
His going there won't do any harm(主语)
Do you think his going there will be of any help? (主语)
What's troubling them is their not having enough food.(表语)
They insisted on my staying there for dinner.(宾语)
2. 名词的所有格+动名词
其用法与“物主代词+动名词”相同:
We all thought Tom's going there a great mistake.
3. 人称代词宾格+动名词(不能放在句首用作主语)He was angry about me not having to
leave early.
4. 名词的普通格+动名词(不能放在句首用作主语)
I don't like young people smoking.
其它情况下的动名词的逻辑主语形式
1) 如果动名词的逻辑主语是无生命的东西,就只能用普通格。
Is there any hope of your factory winning the game?
2) 如果动名词的逻辑主语是一个较长的名词词组,也只能用普通格:
Did you ever hear of a man of good sense refusing such an order?
3) 当动名词的逻辑主语是不定代词、指示代词或指时间的 it 时,常用其宾格:
There is no chance of that being settled.
I’m sorry. I have no idea of it being midnight.
五、 动名词的否定式
1. 一般式:not doing(主动形式):not being done(被动形式)
2. 完成式:not having done(主动形式);not having been done(被动形式)
注意:当动名词带有逻辑主语时,not 应放在逻辑主语后面。如:his not seeing the film.
六、 动名词的完成式
其形式为:(以 do 为例)having done(主动形式);having been done(被动形式)。如果
动名词表示的动作发生在谓语动词表示的动作之前,常用其完成式:
He was praised for having completed thirty years of teach.
但是在 forget,remember,regret 等动词和 apologize for,excuse…for,thank…for 等成语后,
经常可用动名词的一般式来代替其完成式:

·54·
I remember posting (=having posted) the letter.
Excuse me for coming (=having come) late
七、 动名词的被动式
其形式为:(以 do 为例)being done(一般式);having been done(完成式)
当动名词的逻辑主语是动名词所表示的动作的对象;当句中的主语逻辑上是动名词所表示
的动作的对象时,动名词一般要用被动式(多数情况下用一般被动式代替完成被动式):
They insisted on their being treated as ordinary workers.
This question is far from being settled.

分词
一、 分词的基本概念
分词有现在分词和过去分词两种,主要在句中要起形容词和副词的作用。它们可以带有自己
的宾语、表语、状语等。
现在分词与过去分词的区别主要表现在语态和时间关系上:
1. 在语态上,现在分词表示主动的意思,而及物动词的过去分词表示被动的意思:
the moving body(运动着的物体):the moved body(被移动的物体)。
2. 在时间关系上,一般来说,现在分词表示正在进行的动作或动作的进展过程,即它所
表示的动作和句中谓语动词所表示的动作几乎是同时发生的;而过去分词表示已完成
的动作或己存在的状态,即它所表示的动作一般先于句中谓语动词所表示的动作:
I saw someone opening the door.
I saw the door opened.
二、 分词作定语
分词或分词短语作定语,通常是说明句子中名词的,但有时也说明代词 one(ones),that
(those),some,others,anything,something 等:
The girl in the next room is his sister.
Today's computers are of much greater difference those used in the past(说明 those)
1. 现在分词作定语
1) 表示正在进行的动作(变为定语从句时常用进行时态):
The man standing(=Who is standing)at the door is our new maths teacher.
2) 表示经常性动作或现在(或当时)的状态(变为定语从句时常用一般时态):
They visited the museum lying(=which lies)nearby .
3) 动词 wish,want,hope,know,think,believe,expect 的现在分词短语常可用作
定语。例如:
People wishing (= who wished)to see the film star had waited two hours outside the
cinema.
4) 除以上情况外,用定语从句比用现在分词短语作定语更好。例如:
The students who had attended the lecture were discussing it.
2. 过去分词短语作定语
1) 意指过去分词所表示的动作是在谓语所表示的动作之前发生:
Is this book written by the young man?
A letter posted this morning will probably reach her tomorrow.
2) 没有一定的时间性:
I don't like to see letters written in pencil.
3. 作定语时的位置
1) 单个分词作定语,常置于被说明的词之前,不强调动作而强调某种性质或特征:
The cold wind was blowing through a broken window.
2) 单个分词作定语,有时放在被说明的词之后,用来强调动作:
We have had good harvests for many years running. (我们连续多年获得丰收。)

·56·
3) 分词短语作定语时,通常位于被说明的词之后
三、 分词作状语
分词及分词短语作状语,通常用来说明句中谓语动词。其位置可在句首、句子中间或句末,
一般用逗号分开。放在句首的常表示时间、原因、条件;放在句末的常表示结果、方式或伴随
情况等。
1. 现在分词短语作状语,其逻辑主语应该和句子的主语是一致的。
1) 作时间状语,相当子 when 等引起的从句:
Seeing those pictures(=When he saw those pictures),he couldn’t help thinking of
those memorable days in his hometown.
Having done their homework (=After they had done /did their homework ),they
went swimming in the lake.
如果两个动作是完全同时发生的,也常用 when 或 while 加分词这种结构:
When leaving the station,they waved again and again to us.
He got to know them while attending a meeting in London.
2) 作原因状语,相当于一个表示原因的状语从句:
Being so poor in those days( =As they were so poor),they couldn't afford to send
the children to school.
Not having received an answer ( = As she hadn’t received an answer ) , she wrote
another 1etter to her parents.
必须注意:being 短语作状语时,通常表示原因,意为“由于某某是…”,不能理
解为“当…的时候”。
3) 作结果状语:
They opened fire,killing one of our villagers.
2. 过去分词短语作状语,句中的主语往往是过去分词的逻辑宾语。
1) 作时间状语,相当于一个表示时间的状语从句:
Seen from the hill (=When it is seen from the hill),our town looks 1ike a beautiful
garden.
2) 作原因状语,相当于一个表示原因的状语从句:
Born into a poor family(=As he was born in a poor family),he got only two years
of school education.
3) 说明谓语所表示的动作发生的背景或情况:
Built in 1891, the building is over 100 years Old .
四、 分词作宾语补足语
1. see/hear/watch/notice√smell/feel/observe/listen to/look at+宾语+现在分词:
We watched the girl going through some of the movements they had just leaned.
At this moment he noticed the teacher coming in.
2. catch/find+宾语+现在分词:
I caught Tom reading my diary and he made an apology to me for it.
We found a tree lying across the road.
3. have/get/keep/leave+宾语+现在分词:

·57·
I'll have the car waiting at the gate. Will that be all right?
Do you think you can get the radio working?
4. have+宾语+过去分词:其中 have 有三个不同的含义:
1) “使…被完成”(常可用 get 代替 have):
I'd like to have (get) my radio repaired
2) “遭受”、 “经历”(不能用 get 代替):
He had his watch stolen yesterday.
3) “有、拥有”:
He felt in his pocket to see if he had any money left.
5. make + oneself + known/understood/heard 等过去分词:
He repeated explanations,but he couldn't make himself understood.
6. with+介词宾语+现在分词或过去分词:
They sat in the room with the curtains drawn.
With the tree growing tall,we get more and more shade.
7. like/want/wish/order/+宾语+过去分词
He won't like such questions discussed in his house.
8. find 或 think、feel 等+宾语+changed/lost/gone/broken/come 等过去分词(说明宾
语所处的状态):
We found him greatly changed.
When they entered the hall, they found the guests gone.
以上有些结构可变为被动语态,其补语形式依然不变,起主语补语的作用。
五、 现在分词的完成式
其形式为:having done(主动形式),表示这动作发生在谓语所表示的动作之前:
Having arrived at a decision, they immediately set to work.
六、 现在分词的被动式
其形式为:(以 do 为例)being done(一般式),having been done(完成式)。
在表示一个被动动作时,如果这动作是现刻正在进行的,或是与谓语所表示的动作同时发
生的,常用现在分词的被动式。这种形式可以用来:
1. 作定语:
This is one of the experiments being carried (= which are being carried) on in our lab.
2. 作状语:
Being asked to sing a song,he couldn't very well refuse.
间或用完成被动式:
The decision having been made,the next problem was how to put it into practice. (分词本身
带逻辑主语 the decision 而构成独立主格结构充当状语)
3. 作宾语补足语:

七、 不及物动词的过去分词
不及物动词的过去分词没有被动意义,而是表示主动的完成的意义:

(此句是倒装句结构,gone 作表语,表示己“一去不复返了”。)

非谓语动词用法比较
一、 不定式与动名词作主语时的比较
不定式和动名词在作主语时常常可以互换:
Crying/To cry will not help you out of difficulty
但是要注意以下的几点:
1. 动名词作主语通常表示抽象动作,而不定式作主语通常表示抽象动作,而不定式做主
语通常表示具体动作。试比较:
Living in Beijing must be wonderful.(泛指行为)
He realized that to live with her any longer was wrong (具体行为)
2. 当主语被否定时,通常用不定式:
Not to have hope is the poorest of all conditions
3. 在 It is important/necessary…的结构中,主语只能用不定式,不用动名词:
It is important to grasp the spirit of a foreign language in order to use it feely.
It became necessary to build new factories for products never before produced
4. 在 It takes+时间等+。¨的结构中,主语常用不定式:
How much cloth will it take to make a shirt?
5. 在 There is no … 和 It is no good …结构中,通常用动名词
二、 不定式与动名词作表语时的比较
不定式和动名词在作表语时常常可以互换:
His job is bringing/to bring milk every day
但是,当不定式作主语时,表语用不定式;动名词作主语时,表语也用动名词。
To see is to believe. Seeing is believing.
此外,还应注意以下两点:
1. 主语是 it,this,that 等指示代词时,表语通常用动名词:
That was playing with fire.
2. 主语是名词时,表语较短时通常用动名词,表语较长时通常用不定式:
My favorite sport is swimming.
What I like is to swim in the sea and then to lie on the sand
三、 不定式与动名词作宾语时的比较
1. 接 不 定 式 或 动 名 词 作 宾 语 意 义 区 别 不 大 的 动 词 常 见 的 有 :
begin,start,continue,love, like,propose 等:
Almost all the boys like to play/playing football .

·60·
但以上的动词中有一部分在下列情况下通常用不定式作宾语:
1) 在 would like/love/hate 等的后面:
I'd like(love)to have a drink.
2) 当这部分动词是进行时态时:
I'm starting to talk about it.
3) 当 begin 后接某些感觉或状态动词时:
She began to see what he meant.
2. 接不定式或动名词作宾语,意义不同的动词或词组常见的有:
1) remember/forget/regret+doing 或 to do sth
I must remember to ask him (指记住要做的事)
I shall always remember seeing the famous scientist (指记住己经发生过的事)
Don’t forget to bring your dictionary.(不要忘记要做的事)
I will never forget meeting you here (不会忘记曾发生过的事)
I regret telling you so much (懊悔己经作过的事=I'm sorry told you so much。)
I regret to tell you that you have failed your exam (regret 发生在 to tell 之前,=I’m
sorry to tell you…)
可见,上述用法中,动名词指己经发生的事,不定式指发生在 renumber, forget 或
regret 以后的事。要注意:可以用动名词的完成式替代一般式;通常不用*I forgot
doing it 而说:I forgot that I had done it 或 I forgot about doing it.
2) stop/go on/leave of+doing 或 to do sth.
They stopped smoking (停止吸烟)
They stopped to smoke (停下所做的事,开始吸烟)
He went on reading (继续读)
He went on to read.(放下原来做的事,转而读书)
He left off playing tennis (停止打网球)
They left off to play tennis (离开某处去打网球)
以上 stop,leave off 或 go on 后面的不定式都不是其宾语,而是作目的状语。
3) try+to do 或 doing sth.
He'll try to finish the work as soon as possible.
Please try putting some more salt- that might make it taste a bit better.
try to do sth.中,try 是不及物动词,意思是“没法、努力、尽力”,to do sth 作目的
状语;try doing sth 中,try 是及物动词,意思是“尝试、试一试”,看会发生什么
情况,动名词作宾语。
4) mean+to do/doing sth.
接不定式时,意思是“有…的意图、打算。
I meant to telephone you last Friday but I didn’t have time to.
接动名词时,意为“意味着”,“就是…
This kind of illness means going to hospital.
5) need/want/require+doing(=to be done)。
接动名词的主动形式表示被动含义,此处也能用不定式的被动形式代换,但用动

·61·
名词较为常见:
The room wants repairing ( = to be repaired)
The radio needs fixing ( = to be fixed)
6) be afraid+to do sth。或 of doing sth.
接带 to 的不定式时,意为“不敢”做某事,“害怕”做某事:
She was afraid to see you again.
接“of+动名词”时,意为“担心”或“害怕”发生某种情况:
I'm afraid of making mistakes when I speak English.
7) be interested+to do sth。/in doing sth。
My sister is interested in becoming a doctor.
(指她想当医生,动名词表示将要发生的事。)
My sister is interested to be a doctor。
(指她当医生后感到有意思,不定式表示已经发生的事。)
3. 除了一部分既可接不定式、也可按动名词作宾语的动词外,还有一部分动词后面只能接
不定式作宾语;另有一部分动词和成语后只能接动名词作宾语。关于这两点可以参看前
面讲到的不定式和动名词条款。
四、 to be done,being done 或 done(作定语)
不定式被动式、现在分词一般被动式与过去分词作定语时,存在时间关系上的区别。例如:
The power station to be built next year will be of great benefit to the industry and agriculture of our
Province.(to be built 指将来 =which will be bui1t)
The power station being built now will be one of the largest in Asia.(being built=which is being
built.
The power station built on the river last year has been left to our management.(built on the river 指
己完成 = which was bui1t on the river )
五、 不定式和分词作宾语补足语时的比较
1. 在 see,hear,find 等一类表示感觉的动词后:
1) 不带 to 不定式作宾语补足语,表示其动作与谓语动词的动作同时发生,并强调动
作发生的全过程或事实:
We saw the computer operate well
2) 现在分词作宾语补足语,表示其动作与谓语动词的动作同时发生,强调正在进行:
We saw the computer operating very well
3) 过去分词则往往表示动作完成的状态:
We found the work of the computer done
2. 表 示 心 理 状 态 的 动 词 : consider , declare ,
find,prove,think,know,believe,discover, imagine,judge,suppose,understand
的宾语补足语一般,用 to be:
We found him to be cruel.
You surely can’t consider him to be selfish man.

十三、句子的种类

一. 简单句
一个简单句里只有一个主谓结构(有时可能会有并列的主语或谓语),而谓语又一定
是需要限定动词的,因此,通过对限定动词的识别,可以帮助我们判断一个句子是不
是简单句,找出其基本结构中缺少或多余的成分。请看以下例句:
I saw him walking to the office this morning and looking eager to get there and start work.
(saw 是限定动词;walking,looking,to get,start 都是非限定性动词,即非谓语动词。)
While cutting trees,one man was nearly killed by a falling tree.
(was 是限定动词;cutting,killed,falling 是非限定动词。)
You can either stay here or come with us.
(stay,come 都是非限定动词;can 是情态动词,can stay or come 作谓语。)
二. 并列句
1. 并列连词及其使用
1) 常 用 的 并 列 连 词 ( 或 称 等 立 连 词 ) 有 : and , or , but , for , not
only...but(also),either...or,nether...nor,both...and.
2) 除 for 以外的并列连词都可以用来连接一个单句里的两个并列成分,例如:
Jenny and I are good friends。 We run,jump and shout for joy together.
(当有两个以上的并列成分时,一般只在最后两者之间用连词。)
We go for a walk or watch TV after supper.。
The bike is quite old but in excellent condition.
Either your answer or mine is wrong.

·66·
3) 除 both...and 以外的并列连词还可用来连接两个简单句(或称并列分句),构成并列句 。
She was often late and everybody knew,but no one asked why.
The old lady doesn't go out in the winter, for she feels the cold a great deal.
Not only is the teacher himself interested h the subject but a11 his students are beginning to
show an interest in it.
2. 连接并列分句的其它手段
1) when/where 偶尔也可作并列连词;如:
I was walking down the street when I remembered that I had forgotten my umbrella. (when
= and then)
Last night I went to the theatre where I saw Tom's parents,(where = and there)
2) 副词 yet,的和 then 可以连接并列分句:
The tongue is not steel,yet it cuts.
I’m busy today,so can you come tomorrow?
Go into the cave,then they won't see you.
3) 还可用分号“;”。如:
It may be possible or not;however,we shall understand.
I’ve never been to Berlin;therefore I don't know much about it.
3. 并列分句的排列顺序
必须考虑各分句之间的逻辑关系及其时间上的先后顺序,具体情况具体分析。
1) 有些并列的分句可以相互颠倒,并不影响所表达的句意,如:
Everyone was in the classroom and the doors were closed.
(=The doors were c1osed and everyone was in the classroom.)
2) 多数并列句里的分句不能相互颠倒。如:
Most of us were in the classroom , the doors were closed and the late comers had to wait
Outside.
(为说明门关之后,迟到者只好在外等着,后两个分句的顺序不能颠倒。)
We were coming to see you,but it rained(so we didn’t)。
(考虑到两个分句所谈事实的时间先后与逻辑关系,它们的位置不能颠倒。)
三. 复合句
1. 复合句由一个主句和一个(或一个以上的)从句组成。用来连接从句的连词是从属连词。从
句附属于主句的方式有三种:
1) 相当另一个句子里的某个名词或名词词组的作用,作名词从句。
Everyone could see the truth / (that) it was true.
2) 修饰句子里的某个名词或代词,作定语从句。如:
I often see My old friends / my school friends who were at school with me.
3) 相当另一个句子里的某个状语的作用,作状语从句。如:
I met your brother ten years ago / when I came to this school.
2. 两类连词的区分与使用
并列连词与从属连词的作用不同,注意不可混用。如:
不能说:*Although I was good at maths,but I was never given full marks.(although 与 but 不

·67·
能连用)
应说:Although I was good at maths,(yet)I was never given full marks.
或: I was good at maths,but/yet I was never given full marks.
不能说:*Unless you work harder,or you will fail to pass the test.(unless 与 or 不能连用)
应说:Unless you work harder,you will fail to pass the test.
或:Work harder/you must work harder, or you will fail to pass the test.
四. 陈述句的肯定与否定
1. not 及其它否定词的使用
1) 否定句一般可以由否定词 not 及必要的助词来构成,例如:
These exercises are not difficult.
I don't like sweets.
2) 除 not 以外,还有以下这些否定词,也能构成否定句:
a) never,hardly,seldom 一类含否定意义的副词。如:
I have not / never / hardly (ever)/ seldom spoken to Mr. George.
b) no,none 以及其它由 no-构成的复合词(nothing,nobody,no one,nowhere 等)。
I have not said anything to anybody about it.
I have spoken to nobody / no one about it.
I have said nothing to anybody about it.
I haven't any money / I have no money.
I haven't any./ I have none.
c) neither 和 nor,主要在以下句式中:
---I haven't spoken to Mr. George.
---Neither/Nor have I.
当用作连词时,neither 要在 nor 之前。如:
Neither Bob nor I broke the window.
We neither want nor need any help from you, thank you.
2. 肯定变否定时的其它相应变化
肯定与否定句的区别,除了看有无否定词之外,还可能体现在其它方面,试比较:
I have found some mistakes already.
I haven't found any yet?(some >>> any;already >>> yet)
I have found some mistakes,too.
I haven't found any either.(too >>> either)
五. 疑问句
1. 否定问句
1) 否定问句可由否定句变来,例如:
He doesn't eat meat. >>> Doesn't he eat meat?
I haven't seen him. >>> Haven't you seen him?
2) 否定问句的开头一般都用 not 的缩写形式;如分开,则须将 not 放到主语之后,但这类
结构相当正规,如:
Does he not eat meat?(不能说 *Does not he...?)

·68·
Have you not seen him?(不能说 *Have not you...?)
3) 否定问句的回答要“前后如一”,不可受汉语影响犯以下这类错误:
— Doesn't he eat meat?
一 Yes,he does. /No,he doesn't.
(不能说 Yes,he doesn't./No,he does.)
2. 反意疑问句的一般构成
1) 反意疑问句的一般构成是:肯定陈述,否定尾句;否定陈述,肯定尾句。要注意反问尾
句中的助词(或系动词、情态动词等)与人称代词应与陈述部分中的语法动词与主语取
得一致。例如:
Jane is your cousin,isn’t she? There is no doubt,is there?
We need to ask first,don’t we? We needn’t ask first,need we?
2) 要注意陈述部分主语后面的缩写形式 's 或 'd 的真实意义,以决定尾句应该选用的助动
词或系动词等。如:
He’s never met you before,has he? (He's=He has)
He’s going to tell you the truth,isn't he?(He's=He is)
You'd better go, hadn't you? (you'd =you had)
You'd rather stay, wouldn't you?(you'd =you would)
3) 要注意“否定陈述+肯定尾句”的回答必须前后一致。
You seldom go swimming in the morning,do you?
Yes,I do,/No,I don't.
3. 比较特殊的反意疑问句
有些反意疑问句的尾句构成比较特殊,应当引起注意:
Few people knew the answer,did they?(few 为否定含义,后接肯定尾句。)
I'm older than you,aren't I?(I am 后面的否定尾句常用 aren't I?)
Pass me the newspaper,will you?(肯定祈使句用 will you?)
Don't be late next time,will you?(否定祈使句后也用 will you?)
Remember to lock the door,won't you?(用 won't you 表示请求或恳求。)
Use your head,can't you?(can't you 表示不耐烦或不满的斥责。)
Let's do it by ourselves,shall we?(第一人称祈使句,we 包括说话人与听话人双方。)
Let us do it by ourselves,will you?(第二人称祈使句,we 只指说话人一方。)
Everybody has been told what to do,haven't they?(尽管 hasn't he 似乎更合语法;习惯常用
haven't they。)
None of us knew the way,did we?(none of us 作主语, 尾句中用 we)
Some of you are learning Russian,aren't you?(同上句理解。)
4. 特殊疑问句
1) 两种语序:
a) 当疑问词为主语或主语的定语时,语序与陈述句相同,如:
Somebody broke the window. >>> Who broke the window?
Something broke the window. >>> What broke the window?
Somebody's window was broken. >>> Whose window was broken?

·69·
b) 当疑问词为其它成分时,则疑问词后面的语序与一般疑问句相同,如:
He was reading China Daily. >>> What paper was he reading?
I saw the film yesterday. >>> When did you see the film?
2) 要注意选择恰当的疑问词以及与之搭配的其他词语,如:
I bought a bike made in Tianjing. >>> What bike did you buy?
The new bike under the tree is mine. >>> Which bike is yours?
He did his work carefully. >>> How did he do his work?
I go to the library twice a week.>>> How often do you go to the library?
He painted the desk white.>>> What color did he paint the desk?
5. 两类选择疑问句
1) 一类是以一般疑问句为基础的。如:
Do you speak French or German?
Will they come to see us or sha11 we go to see them?
Has Henry finished his breakfast or hasn't he?
2) 另一类是以特殊疑问句为基础的,可以看成是由一个 Wh- 问句加上并列起来供人选择
的两个(或两个以上的)答案构成的。如:

When shall we set off,at six or (at)six thirty?
六. 祈使句
1. 祈使句的主语
1) 主语应为第二人称时,通常不表示出来,如:
Read after me, please. Be careful with your pronunciation.
Have this seat,will you?(可加反意疑问句)
2) 行为动作的主语为第一、三人称时,祈使句通带以 Let 开头:
Let me have a try. Let him try again.
All/Everybody be here at two o'clock。(也可不用 Let)
2. 祈使句的强调与否定
1) 祈使句的强调结构是在句首加 Do:
Do come early next time. Do be careful!
2) 祈使句的否定是在句首加 Don't:
Don't ask me why. Don't be late.
Don't 1et there be too much noise.
Never buy what you cannot pay for.(也可用 Never)
3. 祈使句+and/or 结构
这类结构常可与含 if 从句的复合句相互转换:
Give h1m an inch, and he'll take a yard. (=lf you give him an inch, he'll take a yard.)
Wear your coat,or you'll catch cold.(If you don't wear your coat,you'll catch cold.)
七. 感叹句
1. What +(a/an)+adj. + n.+ 主谓
What a beautiful day it is!

·70·
What wonderful weather we are having!
1) What 之后是否用 a/an 要看后面的名词是否可数;是单数还是复数:
What beautiful music the boy is playing!(music 不可数,前面不可加 a/an.)
What fools they were!(fools,复数,不可加 a/an)
2) 在上下文清楚的情况下,感叹句中的主谓结构甚至形容词都可省略。如:
What a beautiful day! What fools!
2. How + adj./adv. + 主谓!
How happy we are! How hard you've been working!
How 也可修饰句中动词,如:
How I miss you,my friend! How time flies!
3. How+adj.+ a/an +单数名词…:
How foolish a boy he is!(= What a foolish boy he is!)

十四、时态和语态

一. 动词的时态
时态是谓语动词所表示的动作或情况发生时间的各种形式。英语动词有 16 种时态,但是常
用的只有 9 种:一般现在时、一般过去时、一般将来时、现在进行时、过去进行时、现在完成时、过
去进行时、过去将来时,现在完成进行时。下面分别进行介绍。
1. 一般现在时的用法
1) 表示经常性,习惯性的动作;表示现在的状态、特征或真理而不表示具体的特定行为。
句子中常用 often,usually,every day 等时间状语。例如:
He goes to school every day。(经常性动作)
He is very happy.(现在的状态)
The earth moves around the sun.〈真理〉
2) 在时间状语从句和条件状语从句中,用一般现在时态的形式表示将来。
If you come this afternoon,we'll have a meeting.
When I graduate,I'll go to the countryside.
3) 有时这个时态表示按计划,规定要发生的动作,(句中都带有时间状语)但限于少数
动词如 begin,come,leave,go,arrive, start,stop,return,open,close 等。
The meeting begins at seven.
The train starts at nine in the morning.
4) 表示状态和感觉的动词,如 be,like,hate.think, remember, find,sound 等常用一般现
在时。例如:
I like English very much. The story sounds very interesting.
5) 书报的标题。小说等情节介绍常用一般现在时。
2. 一般过去时的用法
1) 表示过去某时间发生的事、存在的状态或过去反复发生的动作。
He saw Mr. Wang yesterday. He worked in a factory in 1988.
2) 表示过去经常发生的动作,也可用“used to”和“would+动词原形”。例如:
I used to smoke. During the vacation I would swim in the sea.
注意:used to 表示过去常发生而现在不再发生的动作或存在的状态。另外“to be used to
+名词(动名词)”表示“习惯于……’’。例如:
I am used to the climate here. He is used to swimming in winter.
3. 一般将来时的用法

·73·
一般将来时表示将来的动作或状态。其表达形式除了“will 或 shall + 动词原形”外,还有以
下几种形式。
1) “to be going to+动词原形”,表示即将发生的或最近打算进行的事。例如:
It is going to rain. We are going to have a meeting today.
2) go, come, start, move, leave, arrive, stay 等可用进行时态表示按计划即将发生的动作。
I’m leaving for Beijing. Next week I’m staying in the country for days.
3) “be to + 动词原形”表示按计划要发生的事或征求对方意见。
Are we to go on with this work ? The boy is to go to school tomorrow.
4) “be about to+动词原形” 表示即刻发生的动作,意为:be ready to do sth.后面一般不
跟时间状语。例如:
We are about to leave. I’m about to start out.
5) 某些词,如 come,go,leave,arrive,start,get,stay 等的一般现在时也可表示将来。
The meeting starts at five o'clock. He gets off at the next stop.
4. 现在进行时
1) 现在进行时表示现在正在进行的动作,由“to be + 现在分词”构成,另外“系动词十
介词或副词”也表示进行时的意义。例如:
What are you doing? The bridge is under construction.
2) 表示感觉,愿望和状态的某些动词如:have, be, hear, see, like 等词一般不用进行时。
3) 非持续性动词一般不用进行时态,但当用于进行时态时所表达的意义是:a) 逐渐地。b)
反复进行的动作。例如:
a) I’m beginning to understand it. (我慢慢开始明白了。)
b) The monkey is jumping up and down there. (那只猴子在那一直上上下下跳个不停。)
4) 有的句子用一般现在时态和进行时态均可,但用进行时态往往带有感情色彩。比较:
The Changjiang River flows to the east. (长江向东流。 客观现实)
The Changjiang River is flowing to the east. (长江滚滚东流。 赞叹)
Tom often lies to our teachers. (“汤姆经常对老师撒谎。”表汤姆的习惯)
Tom is always lying to our teacher. (“汤姆老是对老师撒谎。”表说话者厌恶的态度)
5. 过去进行时的用法
1) 过去进行时表示过去某一时刻、某一阶段正进行的动作,由“ was(were)十 现在分
词”构成。例如:
In 1980 he was studying in a university.
He was reading a novel when I came in.
2) 用一般过去时态和过去进行时态有行为完成与否的差别。比较:
Yesterday my sister wrote a letter. (写了一封信)
Yesterday my sister was writing a letter. (这封信或许还没有写完)
6. 现在完成时的用法
现在完成时由“have+过去分词”构成。其使用有两种情况:
1) 现在完成时所表示的动作在说话之前已完成,而对现在有影响。句中没有具体时间状语。
He has gone to Wuhan.(说话人认为他不在该地)
He has been to Wuhan.(说话人认为他在该地)

·74·
2) 现在完成时所表示的动作开始于过去,持续到现在,也许还会持续下去。常用 for 和
since 表示一段时间的状语或 so far,now,today,this week(month,year)等表示包括
现在时间在内的状语。例如:
He has studied English for 5 years.
He has studied English since 1985.
Now I have finished the work.
注意:表示短暂时间动作的词,如: come,go,die,marry,buy 等的完成时不能与
for,since 等表示一段时间的词连用。
3) 现在完成时还可用在时间和条件状语从句中,表示将来某时完成的动作。例如:
I’ll go to your home when I have finished my homework.
If it has stopped snowing in the morning,we'll go to the park.
7. 过去完成时的用法
1) 过去完成时由“had+过去分词”构成。过去完成时的动词表示过去某一时刻或某一动
作之前完成的动作状态。句中常用 by,before,until,when 等词引导的时间状语。例如:
By the end of last year we had bui1t five new houses.
I had learnt 5000 words before I entered the university.
2) 过去完成时的动词还可表示过去某一时刻之前发生的动作或状态持续到过去某个时间
或持续下去。例如:
Before he slept,he had worked for 12 hours.
8. 过去将来时的用法
过去将来时表示从过去的某时间看来将要发生的动作或存在的状态。过去将来时由“should
或 would + 动词原形”构成。第一人称用 should,其他人称用 would。例如:
They were sure that they would succeed.
9. 现在完成进行时的用法
现在完成进行时由“have(has)+ been+现在分词”构成,表示现在以前一直在进行的动
作。有些词,如 work,study,live,teach 等用现在完成进行时与用现在完成时意思差不多。
例如:
I have worked here for three years.
I have been working here for three years.
但多数动词在这两种时态中表示不同意思。例如:
I have written a letter.(己写完)
I have been wring a letter.(还在写)
注意:表示短暂动作的动词,如 finish,marry,get up,come,go 等不能用这种时态。
二. 动词的语态
1. 当句子的主语是动作的执行者时,谓语的形式叫主动语态。当句子的主语是动作的承受者时,
谓语要用被动语态。被动语态由助动词 be+过去分词构成,时态通过 be 表现出来。例如:
1) 一般现在时:You are required to do this.
2) 一般过去时:The story was told by her.
3) —般将来时:The problem will be discussed tomorrow.
4) 现在进行时:The road is being widened.

·75·
5) 过去进行时:The new tool was being made.
6) 现在完成时:The novel has been read.
7) 过去完成时:He said that the work had been finished.
8) 过去将来时:He said that the trees would be planted soon.
2. 一些特殊的被动语态结构:
1) 带情态动词的被动结构:
The problem must be solved soon.
2) 带不定式的被动结构:
The room is going to be painted.
The homework needs to be done with care.
3) 短语动词的被动结构:
例 l)The baby is looked after carefully.
用于这类被动结构的短语动词要把它们作为整体看待,即要把它们看作单字及物动词。
这类结构有以下几种:
a) ( 不 及 物 ) 动 词 + 介 词 : agree to , ask for , call for , laugh at , listen to , look
after,operate on,send for,talk about.think of 等。
b) (及物)动词+副词:bring about,carry out,find out,give up,
hand in , make out , pass on , point out , put away , put off , take up, think
over,turn down,turn out,wipe out,work out 等。
c) 动词+副词+介词:do away with,face up to,give in to,look down upon, make up
for, put up with 等。
例2)They will be taken (good) care of.
Attention must be paid to your pronunciation.
用于这类被动结构的短语动词最多见的是“动词+名词+介词”这一结构。如:catch
sight of , keep an eye on , make use of , make a fool of , pay attention to , put an end
to,set fire / light to, take care of, take hold of,take notice of 等。
例 2) 与例 1) 的不同点在于,它们用于被动态时能有两种形式。第一种形式是把“动词
十名词+介词”作为整体看待。第二种形式是把其中的“动词+名词”作为“动词+宾
语”的结构处理。
4) 带复合宾语的动词在改为被动语态时,一般把主动结构中的宾语改成主语,宾语补足
语保留在谓语后面。例如:
We always keep the classroom clean.
(比较:The classroom is always kept clean.)
5) 汉语有一类句子不出现主语,在英语中一般可用被动结构表示,例如:
据说…… It is said that…
希望…… It is hoped that…
据推测说…… It is supposed that…
必须承认…… It must be admitted that…
必须指出…… It must be pointed out that…
众所周知…… It is well known that…

·76·
有人会说…… It will be said that…
大家认为…… It is generally considered that…
有人相信…… It is believed that…
3. 表示被动含义的主动动词
1) 系动词没有被动形式,但有些系动词常表示被动意义。常见的有 look, taste, sound, smell,
prove, feel 等, 例如:
Your reason sounds reasonable. Good medicine tastes bitter to the mouth.
2) 一些与 can’t 或 won’t 连用的动词。 常用的有: lock, shut, open, act 等, 例如:
The door won’t open. It can’t move.
3) 一些与 well, easily, perfectly 等连用的动词, 如: sell, wash, clean, burn, cook 等, 例如:
The book sells well. These clothes wash easily.
4) 用在 “主语 + 不及物动词 + 主语补语” 句型中的一些不及物动词, 例如:
This material has worn thin. The dust has blown into the house.
4. 表示被动含义的主动结构
1) 在动名词结构中
be worth, want (=need), need, require 后所用的动名词, 必须用主动结构表被动意义。
These young seedlings will require / need looking after
(= need to be looked after) carefully.
Your hair wants / needs cutting (needs to be cut).
2) 在不定式结构中
a) 作定语:不定式结构常表示动宾关系, 即用不定式的主动形式表示被动意义。这种情
形最常出现在 “There + be + 主语 + 修饰主语的不定式” 和 “及物动词 + 宾语
(或双宾语) + 修饰宾语的不定式” 结构中, 特别是 “主语 + have + 宾语 + 修饰宾语
的不定式” 结构中。
Give him some books to read. He has a family to support.
There is a lot of work to do.
当然, 这里的不定式在个别情形下也可用被动形式, 含义区别不大,例如:
There is so much work to do / to be done.
Give me the names of the people to contact / to be contacted.
b) 在“主语 + be + 形容词 + 不定式”句型中, 有时主语是不定式结构的逻辑宾语, 这
是应用主动形式表示被动 含义 。 适 合于 此结构的形容词 比较 多 , 最 常 用的有
amusing, cheap, dangerous, difficult, easy, important, nice, pleasant 等, 例如:
That question is difficult to answer. Chicken’s legs are nice to eat.
c) 在 be to 结构中的一些不定式:这种结构中的不定式通常应用主动表主动, 被动表被
动。然而,由于古英语的影响, 下列动词仍用不定式的主动形式表示被动意义:
Who is to blame for starting the fire? The house is to let. A lot remains to do.
3) 在特殊结构中
a) “be + under +名词” 结构:这种结构表示某事 “在进行中”。例如:
The building is under construction.
The whole matter is under discussion (= is being discussed).

·77·
经常这样用的名词还有 repair (修理), treatment (治疗), question (质问)等。
b) “be worthy of +名词”结构: 在这一结构中, 名词和句子的主语有被动含义, 如:
a man worthy of support nothing worthy of praise
此结构后通常用表示行为的名词, 而不用动名词的被动形式。

十五、名词性从句

名词性从句包括主语从句、表语从句、宾语从句、同位语从句。其关联词有连接词
that,if,whether;疑问代词 who,what,which 和疑问副词 when,where,how,why 等。
1. 主语从句
主语从句在句中做主语。它可以放在主句谓语动词之前,但多数情况由 it 作形式主语,而把
主语从句放在主句之后。例如:
Who did that is known to all.
It is interesting that you should like him.
2. 表语从句
表语从句在句中作表语,位于主句中的系动词之后。如:
The question is who can complete the difficult task.
表语从句不能用 if 引导,但可用 as if 引导。例如:
He looked as if he was going to cry.
3. 同位语从句
同位语从句跟在名词后面,进一步说明该名词的具体内容。引导同位语从句的名词主要有
fact , news , promise , idea , truth 等 。 连 接 词 用 that ( 不 用 which ) , 及 连 接 副 词
how,when, where,why 等。例如:

·82·
His delay is due to the fact that the car went wrong halfway.
The news that our team has won the match is true.
She asked the reason why there was a delay.
4. 宾语从句
1. 宾语从句在句中作及物动词或介词的宾语。例如:
We can learn what we did not know.
He will talk to us about what he saw in the U.S.
如果主句的谓语动词是及物动词 make,find,see,hear 等,则把宾语从句置于宾语补
足 语之后,用 it 作为形式宾语。如:
We find it necessary that we practise spoken-English every day.
另外,某些作表语的形容词,如 sure,happy,glad, certain 等之后也可带宾语从句。如:
I am sure that he will succeed.
注意:
1) 关联词只能用 whether 不能用 if 表示“是否”的情况如下:
a) 在表语从句和同位语从句中。例如:
The question is whether the film is worth seeing.
The news whether our team has won the match is unknown.
Answer my question whether you are coming.
b) 在主语从句中,只有用 it 作形式主语时,whether 和 if 都能引导主语从句,否
则,也只能用 whether。例如:
Whether we shall attend the meeting hasn't been decided yet.
It hasn't been decided whether (if) we shall attend the meeting.
c) 在介词之后。(介词往往可以省略)例如:
It all depends(on)whether they will support us.
d) 后面直接跟动词不定式时。例如:
He doesn't know whether to stay or not.
e) 后面紧接 or not 时。例如:
We didn't know whether or not she was ready.
f) 引导让步状语从句,只能用 whether。例如:
Whether you like it or not, you must do it well.
g) 用 if 会引起歧义时。例如:
Please 1et me know if you like it.
该句有两个意思:“请告诉我你是否喜欢”。或“如果你喜欢,请告诉我。”
用了 whether 就可以避免。
2) 关联词 if,whether 均可使用的情况如下:
a) 引导宾语从句。例如:
I wonder if(whether)the news is true or not.
b) 在“be 十形容词”之后。例如:
He was not sure whether (if) it is right or wrong.
3) 关联词只能用 whether 或 if,不能用 that 的情况如下:

·83·
若 doubt 一词作“怀疑”解接宾语从句时,主句为肯定句用 whether 或 if,主句为
否定句或疑问句用 that。例如:
I doubt whether he will come soon.
I do not doubt that he will come soon.
Do you doubt that he will come soon?
注意: 下面这个例句中 doubt 的含义为“认为未必可能”。
I doubt that he will come.
2. 直接引语和间接引语。
引述别人的原话叫直接引语,用自己的话转述别人的话叫间接引语。这两种引语都是宾
语从句,但直接引语放在引号内,不用连词连接;间接引语不用引号,通常用连接词连
接于主句。
1) 陈述句变为以 that 引导的宾语从句。例如:
He said,“I'm very glad.”
He said that he was very glad.
2) 一般疑问句变为 if(whether)引导的宾语从句。例如:
He said,“Can you come this afternoon, John?”
He asked whether John could come that afternoon.
3) 特殊疑问句变为由 who,what, when 等疑问词引导的宾语从句。例:
He said,“Where is Mr. Wang?”
He asked where Mr. Wang was.
注意上述例句中时态,人称代词,时间状语的变化。主句谓语动词为过去时,间接
引语中的动词变化如下:
一般现在时变为一般对去时;现在进行时变为过去进行时;一股将来时变为过去将来时;
现在完成时变为过去完成时;一般过去时变为过去完成时;过去完成时仍为过去
完成时。
如果主句谓语动词为各种现在时或一般将来时,直接引语变为间接引语时,时态
一律不变。例如:
He says,”I cleaned the f1oor.”
He says he cleaned the floor.

一节” 。

在做他的实验。

十七、英语插入语及插入句的用法

在英语学习中,插入语屡见不鲜,由于插入语通常与句中其它成分没有语法上的关系,因
此给考生的理解带来一定困难。插入语多半用逗号与句子隔开,用来表示说话者对句子所表达的
意思的态度。插入语可能是一个词、一个短语或一个句子。
一、常用做插入语的副词
indeed 的确, surely 无疑, however 然而, obviously 显然, frankly 坦率地说, naturally 自
然, luckily (或 happily) for sb.算某人幸运, fortunately 幸好, strangely 奇怪, hone stly 真的,
briefly 简单地说等。
1. Surely, she won’t go to China Telecom with you.
当然她不会和你一起去中国电信。
2. Strangely, he has not been to China Unicom. Still more strangely, he has not called me.
奇怪,他未来过中国联通。更奇怪,他没给我打电话。
3. Fortunately, I found the book that I’d lost.
幸亏我找到了已丢失的那本书。
二、常见的作插入语的形容词或其短语
true 真的, funny 真可笑, strange to say 说也奇怪, needless to say 不用说, most important
of all 最为重要, worse still 更糟糕的等。
1. Strange to say (或 True), he should have done such a thing.

更为重要的,你们各自超额完成了自己的任务。

in a few words(或 in sum, in short)简而言之, in other words 换句话说, in a sense 在某种意
义上, in general 一般说来, in my view 在我看来, in his opinion(judgment)按照他的意见(判断),
in conclusion 总之, in summary 概括地说, in fact 事实上, in the first place 首先, in addition 此
外, of course 当然, to our knowledge 据我们所知, to my joy(delight, satisfaction)使我欣慰(高
兴 、 满 意 ) 的 , to their surprise(astonishment , amazement) 使 他 们 惊 奇 的 , to her regret
(disappointment)使她遗憾(失望)的, for instance(或 example)例如, as a matter of fact 事实上等。

当然,他由于缺乏经验而未成功。
2. She knows much more about computer science than the other students do, for in stance.
例如,她在计算机科学方面就比其他同学懂得多。
四、常用作插入语的分词短语

Judging from his letter , a campaign against” white pollution” has been undertaken in his
hometown.
根据他的来信做出判断,一场抵制“白色污染”的运动已经在他的故乡展开了。
注意:不要理解为现在分词短语作状语,因为上两句中 speaking 和 judging 的动作不是句中主
语发出的。
五、常用作插入语的不定式短语
to be sure 无疑地, to sum up 概括地说, to tell the truth 老实说等。
1. To be sure, community service can aid reemployment.
毫无疑问,社区服务能有助于再就业。

·90·
十八、状语从句

状语从句在句中作状语,修饰主句中的动词、形容词或副词等。状语从句放在主句之前时,
常用逗号分开:放在主句之后,一般不用逗号。状语从句按其意文和作用可分为时间、条件、原因、
让步、目的、结果、方式、比较、地点等九种。
时间状语从句
时间状语从句常用连词有 when,as,while,before,after,since,till(until),as soon
as,hardly…when…,no sooner…than,the moment 等。时间状语从句一般不用将来时,因此,主
句若为将来时,时间状语从句要用一般现在时。如:
I'll go on with the work when I come back tomorrow.
一、 when, while 与 as 的异同
作为从属连词,三者的意思都是“当…时候”,在用法上有如下异同点。
1. 在主句的谓语动词表示短暂动作,而从句说的是一段时间发生的动作时,三个连词都
可 以。如:
I met him as/when/while I was doing some shopping.
2. 从句动作发生的时间如果是某一点,而且主句动作同时或几乎同时发生时,不能用
while, 而只能用 when 或 as。如:
I met him as/when I was getting off the bus.
3. 当从句动作发生在主句动作之前时,只能用 when,如:
I will ring you up when I return.
4. 主句用进行时态,从句动作发生的时间如果是某一点,只能用 when。如:
My mother was cooking the supper when I got home.
5. 如果主句和从句的动作都在一段时间发生,可用 as 或 while,只不过 as 强调主句和从
句中的动作同时发生,而 while 强调主句的动作延续于 while 所指的整个时间。
As I put on my coat,something fell out of the pocket onto the floor.
While he was in prison,Joe Hill continued to write songs to keep up the worker's fight.
二、 when 的从属连词用法
when 作为从属连词引导时间状语从句,既可放在主句之前,也可放在主句之后。如:
When we got home,it was already eight o'clock.
Come again when you have time.
但在下面这组句子中,when 引导的不是时间状语从句,通常不译成“当…的时候”。
1) One evening some of Napoleon's soldiers were drinking together when a young Frenchman
brought a fiend to their table.
2) He had just got into bed about half past eleven when he felt the floor shaking under him.
3) An Arab was walking alone through the desert when he met two men.
4) I was just going to explain when the bell rang.
在以上例子中,各句的中心不在前面,而在 when 引导的分句上。而且 when 引导的句
子说明的情况是事先未曾预料到的,有一定的突然性。when 的意思为 and at that moment
或 and suddenly。 when 引导的这种句子不能放在句首。翻译时常常译成并列句。

·91·
三、 till(until)表示 “一直到…”时,主句用持续性动词的肯定式,从句也用肯定式:表
示“直 到…才…”,主句用非持续性动词的否定式,从句用肯定式。 例如:
He did not get up till his mother came in.
He worked until it was dark.
四、 as soon as,和 the moment 引导的从句表示“—…就… ”用 no sooner。…than 和 hardly…
when 引导的从句表示“刚……就……”。主句中的动词一般用过去完成时,从句用过去时 ;
而且主句一般倒装,把助动词 had 提到前面。例如:
As soon as I finish the work, I’ll go to see you.
Hardly had I entered the room when I heard a loud noise.
让步状语从句
让步状语从句由 although(though),as,even if,.however, whatever,no matter+when/
how/what/who/where 等词引导。
一、 though 和 although
1. although 是较正式语体,语气化(even)though 强,且一般用在句首。(even)though
比较通俗,较常用。下列情况只能用 though:
2. 在部分倒装的从句中,如:
Young though he was,he was burdened with a big family.
3. 在 as though,even though 等短语中 though 不能用 although 代替。值得注意的是,不管
though 还是 although,都不能与 but 连用。
二、 由 as 引导的让步状语从句
由 as 连词引导的让步从句是一种部分倒装句,其结构通常是:adj.(adv, n 或 v)+as+主语+
谓语+其他成分+(主句)。注意,名词前不用冠词。如:
Tall as he is,he cannot reach the top shelf.(前面是形容词)
Fast as he ran, he missed the first bus.(前面是副词)
Hero as she is,she is modest。(前面是名词)
Try as I might,I couldn't lift the stone.〔前面是动词原形〕
上述句子中的 as 都可以用 though 代替。下面三种结构意思相同:
Though he was a child ( Child as he was / Child though he was),he has won three gold medals in
sports.
原因状语从句
一、 for,because,since,as 表示原因
for 和 because,since,as 一样,都可作“因为”讲。但它不表示产生某种结果的必然因果关
系,它们之间用逗号分隔开。because 表示产生某种结果的必然因果关系,是全句的中心,
主句反而成了次要的部分,有时主句甚至可以省略。回答 why 的问题只能用 because.比较:
It must have rained last night,for the ground is wet.
The ground is wet because it rained last night.
二、 since 和 as 表示原因的份量不如 because 那么重,而且通常放在句首。如:
Since you say so,I suppose it's true.
As it is raining,I will not go out.
三、 for 是个并列连词,只能放在另一个并列分句前面,表示一种推理或解释,或用作附加

·92·
说明, 而不是指理由或原因,语气最弱,一般不放在句首,常译成“因为”,“其理由
是”。例如:
The day breaks, for the birds are singing。
for 表示因果关系时,可以同 because 交替使用,但 for 前须用逗号,而 because 则不必。
四、 because 用于否定句中时,有没有逗号意义是不相同的。
I'm not interested in him,because he is poor.(否定主句)
我对他不惑兴趣是因为他很穷。
I'm not interested in him because he is poor.(没有逗号时,否定转移到从句)
我不是因为他很穷才对他感兴趣。
条件状语从句
条件状语从句用 if, unless(if...not),as(so)long as(只要)等词引导,如果主句是将来时,
条件状语从句用一般现在时表示:
As long as I live,I shall work hard。
I shall not go to school unless I finish my homework.
※ unless 与 if
unless 和 if 都可引导条件状语从句,但意义不同。unless 的意思是 if not,两者常可互换。如:
I'll go if my wife is invited too。=I won't go unless my wife is invited too,
有时虽没有 not,而反义词语也可互换。如:
I go for a walk every day if weather permits.=I go for a walk unless bad weather stops me.
地点状语从句
地点状语从句常用 where,wherever 等连词引导。
Wherever you go,I'll follow you.
注意 where 引导的地点状语从句不要和定语从句相混淆。
We shall go where working conditions are difficult.(状语从句)
We shall go to the place where working conditions are difficult.(定语从句)
结果状语从句
结果状语从句一般由 so,so that,的…that,such…that 引导,放在主句之后。例如:
The box is so heavy that nobody can move it.
It is such a heavy box that nobody can move it.
So heavy the box is that nobody can move it.(可用倒装结构)
注意不要和定语从句混淆:
Zhangjiajie is such a marvelous place that everyone wants to visit it. (that 引导状语从句)
张家界是如此神奇的地方,人人都想去游玩。
Zhangjiajie is such a marvelous place as everyone wants to visit.(as 引导状语从句并作宾语)
张家界是如此一个人人都想去游玩的神奇的地方。
目的状语从句
目的状语从句常由 so that,in order that,lest/for fear that 等引导,放在主句之后。
一、 so that, in order that
They started early so that they might arrive in time.
=They started early so as to/in order to arrive in time.

·93·
He works hard in order that he can serve he country well.
注意:
1) so that 和 so as to 均不能位于句首.
2) 与 so that 作结果状语的区别。如:
He hurried to the station so that he could catch the early bus.(表目的)
= He got to the station hurriedly so that he could catch the early bus.
他匆匆忙忙赶到车站,为的是能搭上早班车。
He hurried to the station so that he caught the early bus.(表结果)
= He got to the station hurriedly so that he caught the early bus.
= He got to the station so hurriedly that he caught the early bus.
二、 lest 和 for fear that 所连接的状语从句里常用 should 或原形动词以免;生怕;唯恐(that
用于 fear worry 等词之后起连接作用,无实际意义)
They started out early for fear that they (should) miss the train.
Be careful lest you fall from that tree。要当心,以免从树上摔下来。
I was afraid lest he might come too late。我怕他来得太晚。
方式状语从句
方式状语从句放在主句之后,用 as,just as,as if, as though 等引导。as if 和 as though 引导的
从句一般用虚拟语气。但如果从句中所陈述的情况很可能实现,也可用陈述语气。例如:
The old man runs very fast as if he were a young man.
You may do as you please.
比较状语从句
比较状语从句常由 as。…as,than,not so。…as…,the more.…the more 等词引导。比较从
句部分常是省略句。例如:
I know you better than he does.
The more we can do for you, the happier we will be.

十九、“so that” ,”so…that” 和 “such…that”

在学习 so that 和 so…that 从句时,有相当一部分同学认为:so that 是用来构成目的状语从


句的,而 so…that 则是用来构成结果状语从句的。其实,情况并不是这样。
一、 so that 同样可以用来引导结果状语从句,无论是否有副词作状语或形容词作表语,这就要
得从意义上和 so that 从句的结构上来考虑,表目的的 so that 状语从句中通常情况下都含有
一个情态动词。试比较:
He hurried to the station so that he could catch the early bus. (表目的)
= He got to the station hurriedly so that he could catch the early bus.
他匆匆忙忙赶到车站,为的是能搭上早班车。
He hurried to the station so that he caught the early bus. (表结果)
= He got to the station hurriedly so that he caught the early bus.
= He got to the station so hurriedly that he caught the early bus.
他匆匆忙忙赶到车站,结果搭上了早班车。
※ 但若副词或形容词是放在 so …that 之间,就算 that 从句中含有情态动词也只能表示结果。
The boy was so stupid that he couldn’t work out the maths problem.
这个男孩很笨,所以他解不出这道数学题。
注: ① 表目的的 so that 从句可以用 in order that 替换;若主句和从句的主语一致的时候还可以
用 so as to 或 in order to 将其转换为简单句。如:
I got up early so that I could be in time for the morning exercises.
→ I got up early in order that I could be in time for the morning exercises.
→ I got up early so as to / in order to be in time for the morning exercises.
② 有时为了加强语气,in order that 从句或 in order to 短语还可以放到句首,但 so that 和
so as to 却不行。如:
In order that I could be in time for the morning exercises, I got up early.
In order to be in time for the morning exercises, I got up early.
③ 当 so…that(或 so that)结构的主句中有副词作状语或形容词作表语时,必须用 so +
adv. / adj. + as to 才可以将其转换为简单句来表示结果,否则是表示目的。试比较:
I spoke so loud as to be heard by everyone. (表结果)
我讲得声音很大,结果大家都听清楚了。
·97·
I spoke loud so as to be heard by everyone. (表目的)
我很大声地讲,是为了大家能都听清楚
④ 在 so + adv. / adj. + that 所构成的结果状语从句中,人们常常把 so + adv. / adj. 移到句首并
将谓语动词倒装来表示强调。例如:
So hard did the boy study that he passed the exam.
So clever is the boy that he can answer the question.
⑤ 人们在口语中常省去 so…that 的 that,也有人省去 so 而保留 that。如:
She was so excited (that) she could hardly fall asleep.
She was (so) excited that she could hardly fall asleep.
在书写中省去 that 时,最好加上逗号,把句子的两个部分隔开。例如:
She was so excited, she could hardly fall asleep.
二、 so…that 和 such…that 都可以构成结果从句,所不同的是 so…that 之间接形容词或副词,而
such…that 之间接名词。一般情况下,即使名词前有形容词修饰也不能换用 so…that。例如:
The boy is so clever that everyone likes him.
The boy is such a fool that he can’t understand it.
Titanic is such a moving film that all of us want to see it.
The teacher gave the children such wonderful picture books that they got wild with joy.
注: ① 当 such…that 之间用“不定冠词 + 形容词 + 单数名词”时,可以用 so…that 替换,但得
将不定冠词和形容词颠倒位置。例如:
That was such an important party that I had to take part in it.
→ That was so important a party that I had to take part in it.
② 当 such…that 之间的可数名词前用 many 或 few 修饰,不可数名词前用 much 或 little 修
饰时,只能用 so…that 构成结果从句。例如:
I’ve got so few apples that I cannot divide them among the children.
I have so much homework to do that I can’t go to the cinema with you.
③ 当 little 表示“小”而不是“少”的意思时,仍然用 such…that. 试比较:
They are such little children that they cannot do the work well.
这些孩子太小,他们做不好这项工作。
I have so little money that I can’t buy the computer.
我的钱太少买不起这部电脑。
三、 such…that 万不可与 such…as 混用。such…that 中的 that 是连词,用来引导状语从句,在从
句中不充当任何成分;而 such…as 中的 as 是关系代词,用来引导定语从句并在从句中担当
主语、宾语或表语。试比较:
Zhangjiajie is such a marvelous place that everyone wants to visit it. (that 引导状语从句)
张家界是如此神奇的地方,人人都想去游玩。
Zhangjiajie is such a marvelous place as everyone wants to visit. (as 引导定语从句并作宾语)
张家界是如此一个人人都想去游玩的神奇的地方。

二十、“Since”时间从句中的谓语形式和意义

首先请同学们看 1993 年的一道高考题:


— What was the party like?
─ Wonderful. It’s years ________ I enjoyed myself so much.
A. after B. before C. when D. since
正确选项为 D。意为:“你觉得这次聚会怎么样?” “棒极了,我好多年都没有这么痛痛
快快地玩了。”这里的 It’s years since I enjoyed myself so much = I haven’t enjoyed myself so much
for years. 为什么 “enjoy” 的意义在这里变成了否定的呢?
这是因为 enjoy 是持续性动词。当持续性动词用在 since 从句中时,其意义不同于非持续性
动词。下面做一下分类解释:
一、在 since 时间从句中用非持续性动词时,时间的计算应从该动作发生之时开始; 若是用
持续性动词,时间的计算则应从该动作结束之时开始。例如:
① I haven’t seen him since he left Wuhan. 自从他离开武汉以来,我一直没见过他。(这里的
left 为非持续性动词,时间的计算应从 left 的动作发生之时开始。)
② I haven’t seen him since he lived in Wuhan. 自从他不住在武汉以来,我一直没见过他。
(这里的 lived 为持续性动词,时间的计算应从 lived 的动作结束之时开始。)
以上的句①和句②的意思基本相同。句② since 从句中的谓语 lived 的意义是否定的,而又
不能将其改为 didn’t live,这是英语的一种表达习惯。又如:
She has stayed at her uncle’s since she was ill. 她自病愈以来就一直住在她叔叔家里。(这里
was ill 是持续性的“状态”,用在 since 从句中同样表示这种“状态”的结束,也就是“不生
病”或“病愈了”)
二、任何语法都不是绝对的,例外情况总是存在的。有时候,since 从句中的持续性动词同
样可以表示动作或状态延续到现在,时间的起点可以从动作或状态的发生之时开始,但通常在
since 之前加上 “ever” 以加强 since 的语意。例如:
I’ve known her ever since I was a child. 我自孩提时代起就认识她了。
I haven’t been to the cinema ever since I owned the TV set. 自从我拥有了这台电视机,我就没
有去电影院看过电影。
另外,也可以将 since 从句中的谓语改为完成时态来加强语意而使持续性动作或状态延续
到现在,但值得注意的是在 since 从句中用完成时态并不是很常见的。
He has been looking for a job since he has been laid off. 自从他下岗以来就一直在找工作。
I haven’t heard from him since he has lived abroad. 自从他在国外居住以来我一直没有收到他
的来信。
注意: since 从句中如果是用的非持续性动词,则无论在 since 前加 ever 还是将 since 从句
中的谓语改为完成时态来加强语意,从句中谓语动词的动作都没有什么持续性。例如:
My granny has been catnapping ever since the film began \ since the film has begun. 自电影一
开始,我奶奶就一直在打瞌睡。
三、在“It is + 时间 + since-从句” 的结构中,情况则不一样。它表示从过去某一时刻起到
现在(说话时刻)为止的一段持续时间的总和,从句中通常都用一般过去时,但无论用持续性

·99·
还是非持续性动词都表示动作或状态的完成,时间的起点应该是在动作或状态完成的那一刻开
始算起。例如:
① It is six years since I joined the Party. 我入党已经有六年了。
② It is six years since I was in Beijing. 我不在(离开)北京已经有六年了。
在句②中,无论在 since 从句前加 ever 还是在从句中用 have been 都无法表达“我已经在北
京呆了六年”的意思。又如:
It is about five years since my father (has) smoked. 我父亲不吸烟已经约五年了。
(= It is about five years since my father gave up smoking.)
所以,本文开头的那道高考题“It’s years since I enjoyed myself so much.” 应译为“我好多

年都没有这么痛痛快快地玩了。”这样才与上下文逻辑上一致。

四、但是,如需要 since 从句表示某一持续性的动作或状态从发生之时起一直延续到现在的


时刻,那么可将 since 改为 that,并且谓语必须用完成时态。试比较:
① It is about seven years since we (have) lived in the countryside. 我们约 7 年不住在乡下了。
② It is about seven years that we have lived in the countryside. 我们住在乡下约有 7 年了。
= We have lived in the countryside (for) about seven years.
其实,句②就是一个“It is + time + that”所构成的强调句型。
注意:强调句中的谓语绝不可用非持续性动词的肯定式,但可用其否定式。因为否定式表
示该动作没有发生,是一种状况,这种状况是可以持续的。比较:
(正)(1) It is three weeks that he hasn’t come here.
(正)(2) He hasn’t come here for three weeks.
(误)(1) It is three weeks that he has come here.
(误)(2) He has come here for three weeks.
(但句若(2)理解成“他到这儿来了,打算呆三个星期”则是正确,那么 for three weeks 作
“目的状语”而非“时间状语”了。)

二十一、倒装句

英语的基本语序是“主语+谓语”。如果将谓语的全部或一部分放在主语之前,这种语序叫
做“倒装”。倒装的原因,一是语法结构的需要(如某些疑问句);一是为了强调。
英语中常见的倒装句,除了某些疑问句和以引导词 there 开头的固定倒装句型外,还有下列
一些情况:
1. 在以 here, there 或 out, in, up, down, over, away, off, upstairs / downstairs 等副词开头的句子
里,表示强调。在这种情况下只需将动词直接提前而并不需要用助动词的帮助来构成倒
装。
1) There goes the bell.
2) Here comes the bus.
3) Out rushed the children.

·100·
4) Away went the boy.
※ 但在这样的结构中,若主语是人称代词时,只需将被强调的副词提前,而主语和谓
语的语序是不变的。如:
1) Here it is. (不能说 Here is it.)
2) Away he went. (不能说 Away went he.)
2. 直接引语的一部分或全部放在句首时,有时也用倒装。
1) “What the child said is true,” said the father.
2) “What does it mean?” asked the boy.
3. only 所修饰的副词、介词短语或状语从句放在句子开头时。
1) Only then did I realize that I was wrong.
2) Only in this way can you learn from your mistake.
3) Only when the war was over in 1918 was he able to get happily back to work.
※ 当 only 之后所接的不是状语时不可以用倒装。如:
Only Comrade Zhang knows about it.
4. 含有否定意义的副词或连词,如 hardly, never, not, not only, little, seldom, scarcely, barely,
no sooner, not once 等放在句首时。
1) Never shall I forget it.
2) Not a single mistake did he make.
3) Hardly had I reached the bus stop when the bus started. (= No sooner had I reached the bus
stop than the bus started.)
4) Not only was everything he had taken away from him, but his German citizenship.
※ 另外,当含有否定意义的状语提前时,谓语也要倒装。
5) By no means (= never) did he go to the countryside with you.
6) Without any money on him did he go to town.
7) Not until his mother came back did he went to bed.
8) At no time(= never) will I give up.
5. 当句首状语或表语为表示地点的介词短语时,也常常引起全部倒装。
1) South of the city lies a big steel factory.
2) Under the desk is your pen.
3) From the valley came a frightening sound.
4) They arrived at a farmhouse, in front of which sat a small boy.
6. 当表语位于句首时,倒装结构为“表语+连系动词+主语”。
1) Present at the meeting were Professor Smith and many other guests.
2) Gone are the days when they could do what they liked to the Chinese people.
3) Among the goods are Christmas trees, flowers, candies and toys.
7. 用于 so, nor, neither, no more 开头的句子,表示重复前句的部分内容。原句的谓语应与前
句的谓语的时态、形式相一致
1) She is a tailor. So is her mother.
2) You can ride a car. So can I.
3) The first one is not good, nor is the second.

·101·
4) He doesn’t like football, neither do I.
5) If you don’t go there, no more will I. (= You will not go there. I won’t, either.
8. 表示结果 so…that 或 such…that 也可以构成倒装。
6) So clever is he that he can do the work well.
7) In such a hurry did he come running that he was out of breath.
※ so that 表示目的时,不能用倒装。
9. 当虚拟语气的条件句省略 if 时可将 were, should 和 had 提至句首构成倒装。
1) Were he here, he would help you. (= If he was/were here, …)
2) Should he come tomorrow, what would you do? (= If he should come, …)
3) Had you met him yesterday, you could have learnt more from him. (= If you had met him
yesterday, …)
10. Although / Though 构成的让步状语从句可以用局部倒装。
1) Pretty as she is, she is not clever. (= Although/Though she is pretty, …)
2) Hard as he worked, he couldn’t support his family. (Though he worked hard, …)
3) Try as he would, he might fail again. (= Though he would try again, …)
4) Child as he is, he knows a lot. (Though he is a child, …)
注意:若表语是名词,其名词前不加任何冠词。
以上各句中的 as 均可用 though, 但 as 更常用。
※ 在 as/though 引导的让步状语从句中,如果主句较长,也可实行全部倒装。
5) Difficult as was the chemistry homework, it was finished in time.
11. 当 often, many a time 等状语位于句首时也常用倒装。
1) Often does he come to visit me.
2) Many a time have I been to Beijing.
12. 表示祝愿、祈祷的句子常用倒装。
1) Long live our Communist Party!
2) May you be happy!
13. 有时要强调宾语,可以将宾语提至句首,但谓语无须倒装。
That book he kept for himself.

二十二、定语从句中的关系代词和关系副词

Ⅰ. 定语从句的特点
定语从句修饰前面的名词或代词,它由“关系代词或副词+从句”构成,它所修饰的名词
或代词称作先行词。定语从句通常置于先行词之后。例如:
My brother works in the factory which is not far from your house.
注意:关系代词或副词在定语从句中,一定充当一个成分。

Ⅱ. 用于限定性定语从句的关系代词
who, whom, which, that, whose 等关系代词在定语从句中所指对象是人或物,在从句中作主
语、宾语、介词宾语或定语。它们的形式变化如下:

指代对象 人 事 物 人 + 事物

主 格 who/that which/that that

宾 格 who(m)/that which/that that

所有格 whose whose/of which

Ⅲ. who, whom, that 代表人


A. who, that 作主格,不能省略。例如:
The man who/that spoke at the meeting this morning is a famous lawyer.
作主格时,who 较 that 更常用。
B. who, whom, that,作动词的宾语。口语中常用 who 或 that 代替 whom。经常可以省略。例如:
The girl who(m)/that you saw just now is Jane.
The girl you saw just now is Jane.
C. 当先行词是 all, nobody, no one, somebody, someone, anybody 等词或者名词有形容词最高级
或序数词修饰时,指人时 who 和 that 都可以用。例如:
All who/that heard the news were excited.

·105·
D. 介词 + whom 引导 定语从句时,whom 不能由 who 或 that 代替,也不能省略。例如:
I don’t know the person to whom you talked.
但在口语中,通常把介词放在从句后面。此时,可以用 who 或 that 代替 whom; 经常省略关
系代词。例如:
I don’t know the man (who/that) you talked to.
The hero (who/that) you often hear of will come to our school tomorrow.

Ⅳ. which, that 代表事物


A. which, that 作主格。不能省略。例如:
This is the book which/that was written in easy English by our English teacher.
B. which/that 作动词的宾语可以省略。例如:
The picture (which/that) he drew in the 1980s are on show.
C. 介词 + which +从句
1) 此结构中,which 不能用 that 代替,也不能省略。但是口语中,当介词放在从句后
面时,可 that 代替 which,也可省略。如:
The chair on which she is sitting is made of plastics.
The chair (which/that) she is sitting on is made of plastics.
2) 可用 when 代替表示时间的 at/in which:
I’ll always remember the day on which/when I visited Professor Wang.
3) 可用 where 代替表示地点的 at/in which:
I haven’t ever been to the house in which/where my uncle lives.
4) 可用 why 表示原因的 for which:
The reason for which/why he refused to go the party was that they had not
invited him to.
D. 当先行词是 all, much, little, everything, none 或是由 no 构成的词组时,通常用 that,很少用
which。例如:
All the oranges that she brought me were eaten by my little brother.

Ⅴ. whose 用作所有格
A. whose 指人,表示所修饰的“某(些)人的”:
I don’t want to hire the boy whose father is now in prison.
Once there was a wise king whose name was Alfred.
B. whose 也指事物,表示所修饰的“某物的”:
Look at the house whose roof is red.
用于这中场合的“whose + 从句”结构常可以用“…of which + 从句”或“of which…+
从句”或“with + 短语”代替。例如:
Look at the house, the roof of which is red.
Look at the house, of which the roof is red.
Look at the house with a red roof.

·106·
Ⅵ. 通常只用 who 代表人的场合
1) 当先行词是 one, ones, anyone,或 those 等:
Anyone who does that must be mad.
Those who are to break the law will be punished.
2) 在 there be 结构中可用 that, 但 who 较多用。
There is a young man who/that wants to see you.
3) 当先行词是人而后面有较长的修饰语时:
I met a friend of mine in the park yesterday who had got three gold medals in
the Asian Games.
4) 为了避免重复或引起歧义:
The man that spoke at the meeting is our new headmaster who has just come
from Shanghai.
5) 当先行词是、 I, you, he, they 等时(常用语谚语中)
He who plays with fire gets burned. (玩火者必自焚)

Ⅶ. 通常只用 that 的场合


1) 当先行词是人+事物时
They talked about the persons and things that they had visited.
2) 当 the+形容词最高级/last/next/only/very +(名词)作先行词时:
This is the best film that I have ever seen.
That is the very film that I want to see.
3) 当先行词中含有序数词时:
This is the first letter that I have received from her since she left.
4) 当关系代词在定语从句中作表语时:
China is not the country that it used to be.
5) 当先行词是 anything/something/nothing/everything 等不定代词时,经常用 that:
I’ll tell you everything that I know about the meeting.
6) 为了避免重复:
Which is the car that hit the boy?
Who was the man that she danced with?
7) 当先行词是疑问代词 who 时:
Who that has such a house does not love it?

Ⅷ.关系代词 which 的其它用法


1) 代表主句中谓语的整个概念:
He can write a letter in English, which I cannot do.
2) 代表整个主句:
I said nothing, which made him still angrier.
3) 当先行词本身是 that,表示事物时,关系代词通常用 which:

·107·
He has found that which he was looking for.

Ⅸ. when, where, why 作关系副词


A. when 代替 at/in/on/during which, 在定语从句中作状语。如:
Tell me the time when (= at which) the train leaves.
July, when (= in which) we can go home for a rest, is coming soon.
I will never forget the day when (= on which) I reached the top of the Huangshan Mountain.
You will have some spare time when (= during which) you can learn French at home.
有时候 when 可以用 that 代替或省略,如:
I know the time when/that John left. 或 I know the time John left.
注意:当表示时间的先行词 time, morning, afternoon, day, night, moment, childhood 等充当
从句的主语、动词或介词的宾语时,不能够 when。如:
His uncle is going to Beijing in October, which is the best season there. ( 这 里 的 which 指
October, 作主语)
I will never forget the days that/which I spent with your family.(which 指 days,作宾语)
在 It is the first/last time that…句型中,that 是习惯用法,不能用 when 替代。如:
It is the first time that I have been to the Great Wall.
B. where 代替 at/in/to which, 在定语从句中作地点状语。例如:
This is the school where (= at which) I used to study.
What is the name of the town where (= in which) we stayed last night?
Think of a place where (= to which) we can go for dinner.
在口语中偶尔用 that 代替 where, 如:
This is the very spot where/that the accident happened.
C. where 有时作关系代词,经常用在 from where + 从句之中。例如:
His head soon appeared out of the window from where/which he could see nothing but trees.
注意:where 不能用作从句的主语或动词的宾语。例如:
The museum which/that we visited yesterday has a history of 200 years.
(不能说 * The Museum where we visited yesterday has a history of 200 years.)
请注意观察和比较以下两例中的关系词:
The Museum where /in which he works has a long history.
The Museum (which/that) he visited has a long history.
D. why 代替 for which 用作 reason 的定语从句。如:
I don’t know the reason why (= for which) he left here.
同样在口语中, why 可以省略。
That’s the reason (why) he left home.
注意观察下例:
The reason why his sister is late is that his husband is dangerously ill in hospital.
句中 why 不用 that 代替,以避免重复;that 不能够用 because 或 why 代替,陈述主语
reason 的表语从句只用 that 引导,that 不作从句的某一成分,试比较:
I didn’t know the reason why he was late.

·108·
The reason why he was late was that his wife was ill.
His wife was very ill. That’s why he was late.
It’s because his wife was ill in bed.
E. in/by which 或 that 用在 the way 之后,在定语从句中作方式状语,例如:
I admired the way (in which/that) you answered his question.
This is the way (by which/that) we came last time.

Ⅹ.非限定性定语从句
A. 与限定性定语从句的区别
限定性定语从句不能用逗号与主句隔开,它限制所修饰的先行词的意义;非限定性定语从
句前面需用逗号与主句分开,它只是先行词的附加说明,省去后不会影响主句的意思。例
如:
My brother who lives in New York has six children.
我住在纽约的那个兄弟有六个孩子。(不止一个兄弟)
My brother, who lives in New York, has six children.
我的兄弟有六个孩子,他住在纽约。(只有这一个兄弟)
由以上例句可见:非限定性定语从句表达的意义含“唯一性”,翻译时通常译成一个
并列句,其形式往往可用 and…替换。又如:
I met a boatman, who (= and he) took me across the river.
They will fly to Kunming, where (= and there) they will stay for several days.
B. 非限定性定语从句中关系代词和关系副词的用法
1) 在任何情况下都不能省略;
2) who(主格),whom (宾格),which(主、宾格)不能用 that 代替,也不能互相替换;
3) 介词 + which/whom + 从句结构中,介词不能移到从句的后面;
4) when, where 可用于非限定性定语从句。

Ⅺ.关系代词作主语时数的判定
A. who, which, that 本身并没有数和性的变化,它们的数和性应以先行词的数和性而定,从句
中的动词谓语形式应与其数保持一致。例如:
I talked with the boy who swims the fastest in your school. (注意:… the boy who swims)
All the boys who are now swimming in the river are from Wuhan, ( 注意:… the boys who are
now swimming)
B. one of … 和 the one/the only one of …
1) He is one of the teachers who know English well.
2) He is the only one of the teachers who knows English well.
句 1 中 who 指 the teachers,作复数,意指:精通英语的教师之一;句 2 中 who 指 the only
one, 作单数,意指:教师中唯一精通英语的。
C. 根据具体情况而定。例如:
1) Please look at the woman with two children who is sitting under the tree.
2) Please look at the woman with two children who are playing under the tree.

·109·
句 1 中 who 代表 the woman:那位带着两个孩子坐在数下树下的妇女;句 2 中的 who 代
表 two children:那位带着两个在树下玩的孩子的妇女

Ⅻ. as 作关系代词
A. as 代表整个主句或主句中的某一成分,常可用 which 取代。例如:
She is very careful, as (= which) her work shows.
It is like a snake, as (= which) anybody can see.
但要注意,当 as 从句位于句首时,as 不能用 which 取代。例如:
As she had hoped, he saw the play.
B. 使用 as 的几个惯用结构
1) the same … as; They are studying the same subject as we are.
2) such as; The book is not such as I expect.
3) such … as; Such books as this are too difficult to beginners.
4) as many … as; He had as many books on physics as I had.
5) as much … as; There is a plenty of hot water. You can use as much as you need.
6) as … as; I ran as fast as I could.
7) not so/as … as; He is not so strong as he used to be.
C. 一些使用 as 的惯用语
1) as any body can see (正如人人都能看到的那样)
2) as we all know (正如我们大家所知道的那样)
3) as is well-known (众所周知)
4) as we had expected (正如我们所预料的那样)
5) as often happens (正如经常发生的那样)
6) as has been said before (如上所述)
D. the same … as 和 the same … that
the same … as 指 “同类”;the same that 指 “同一样”。试比较:
1) This is the same bag as I lost yesterday.
2) This is the same bag that I lost yesterday.
句 1:与我昨天丢的包是同样的;句 2;就是我昨天丢的那个包(= This is the very bag
that I lost yesterday.)

XIII. but 作关系代词


but 有时用在否定结构后,相当于 who/that … not 的意思。例如:
In China there is no one but knows Lei Feng. (= … there is no one who does not know
Lei Feng.)
There is no rule but has some exceptions. (= There is no rule that does not have some
exceptions.)

二十三、虚拟语气

·112·
虚拟语气表示说的话不是事实,或者是不可能发生的情况,而是一种愿望、建议或与事实相
反的假设等。一般常用于正式的书面语中:
一、 虚拟语气在条件句中的用法
1. 表示与现在事实相反,谓语动词的主要形式如下:
条 件 从 句 主 句
动词过去式(be 的过去式一般用 were) would (should, could, might)+动词原形
1) If I were you, I shouldn’t do that.
2) We would go with you if we had time.
3) We could ask him if he were here.
4) If I knew his telephone number, I would ring him up.
2. 表示与过去事实相反,谓语动词的主要形式如下:
条 件 从 句 主 句
would (should, could, might)
had +过去分词
+have+过去分词
1) If he had seen you yesterday, he would have asked you about it.
2) If you had come earlier, you would (might) have met him.
3) I should (would) have called you if I had known your telephone number.
3.表示与将来事实可能相反,谓语动词的主要形式如下:
条 件 从 句 主 句
动词过去式或 should + 动词原形
would (should, could, might)+动词原形
或 were to + 动词原形
1) If it should rain, the crops would be saved.
2) If it were to snow tomorrow, they would not go out.
※ 在实际运用中,主句中的谓语和条件从句中的谓语动词所发生的时间往往不一致,这时
应作相应的调整:
1) If he had followed the doctor’s advice, he would be all right now.
2) If it should be fine tomorrow, we should have bought the ticket yesterday.
※ 有时条件从句可用介词短语或分词短语所替代,如:
1) Without our Party, we could not live a happy life.
2) The boy would have died but for the doctor.
3) Given more time, I could have finished the work remarkably.
※ 虚拟条件句往往可以省略 if, 采取将 had, should, were 提到句首的倒装句式表达。如:
1) If he were here, he would help you. >>> Were he here, he would help you.
2) If you had asked him for it, he would have given it to you. >>> Had you asked him for it, he
would have given it to you.
3) If you should go there tomorrow, you could have a good time. >>> Should you go there
tomorrow, you could have a good time.
二、一些“should + 动词原形”虚拟语气的用法
1. 在动词 suggest, order, demand, propose (建议), prefer, request, urge (力劝、竭力主张),

·113·
desire (愿望), insist, decide, require, advise, command (命令、指挥), arrange 等后面的宾语从
句中,一般用 “should + 动词原形”(should 往往可以省略)。如:
1) I suggest that we (should) hold a meeting tonight.
2) He ordered that all (should) take part in the work.
3) They insisted that we (should) begin the work at once.
※ 当 insist 作“坚持(认为)、坚持(应该)”解时才用虚拟语气,而作“力言、强调”解
时不用虚拟语气;当 suggest 作“建议”解时才用虚拟语气,而作“暗示、表明” 解时
不用虚拟语气。这两个动词比较特殊。试比较:
Mike insisted that we (should) go with him.
Mike insisted that he had never stolen the bike.
He suggested that we (should) have another try.
His smiling face suggested that he was satisfied with my answer.
2.在名词 suggestion, order, proposal, plan, desire, request, decision, idea, advice 等之后接表语
从句或同位语从句时,也应该用“should + 动词原形”。如:
1) The decision that we should build another new school made us very happy.
2) My suggestion is that we should go outing next Sunday.
4. 在 It is suggested, ordered, decided, proposed, requested 等的被动语态句式后所接的主语从
句中,谓语同样用“should + 动词原形”。
1) It is ordered that we should started out before eight o’clock tomorrow morning.
2) It is suggested that we should delay the sports meet.
5. 在 It’s a pity, a shame, no wonder (不足为奇), strange, surprising, natural, remarkable,
important, necessary, anxious 等之后所接的从句中谓语动词通常用“should + 动词原形”。
1) It’s a shame (a pity, no wonder) that you should be so careless.
2) It’s necessary ( important, natural …) that we should clean the room every day.
3) I’m anxious that he should come here tomorrow.
这里的 should 意为“应该”,“竟然”,指说话人对事实表示出惊奇的感情,可以省略。
但不可换用 would。
※ 若不表示惊奇的感情,that 从句也可用陈述语气。
1) It is strange that he did not come yesterday.
2) It is a pity that you can’t swim.
6. 在 for fear that (以免), lest (以免;惟恐),等所引导的状语从句中常用“should + 动词原
形”。
You’d get up early tomorrow morning lest / for fear that you should miss the early bus.
三、虚拟语气的一些其它用法
1. “wish +宾语从句”表示不能实现的愿望,汉语可译为“可惜…”,“…就好了”,
“悔不该…”,“但愿…”等。
it were spring all the year round.
I could visit the United States next year.
I wish that you had arrived there two hours earlier.
I was/were studying in Beijing University now.

·114·
I had already finished middle school.
2. 在 It is (high) time (that) …句型中,定语从句的谓语动词用过去式,或“should + 动词
原形”(should 不能省略, be 用 were)
It’s time (that) I went to school.
It’s time (that) I should go to school.
3. 在 would rather/sooner/as soon (that) 从句中应用虚拟语气。
I would rather (that) Comrade Zhang helped me with my English.
4. 虚拟语气在 as if (as though), even if (even though) 等引导的表语从句或状语从句中的应用。
1) He looks as if he were an artist.
2) She treats him as if he were her husband.
3) Even if he were here, he couldn’t solve the problem.
5. 虚拟语气用在 if only 所构成的感叹句中表示一种遗憾。
1) If only I had taken his advice! (要是我听他的话就好了。)
2) If only I were a bird! (我要是一只小鸟就好了。)
6. 用“may +动词原形”表示“祝愿”,“但愿”。
May you be happy. May you succeed.
7. 情态动词的过去时用于现在时态,表示说话人谦虚、客气、有礼貌或语气委婉,常出现在
日常会话中。
1) It would be better for you not to stay up too late.
2) Would you be kind enough to open the door?
3) Would you like a cup of coffee?
