【词汇讲解】Module 2 Fantasy Literature Philip Pullman疑难解答 (适用于外研版选修⑥Module3 单元讲解) 问：老师在READING AND VOCABULARY，“I remember the first time I met Roy.”中， the first time是什么用法？ 答：该句型中的the first time用作连词，意为“第一次，一……就”。后面连接一个状语从句，类似的短语还有：the moment, the minute, the second, the instant, immediately等，相当于as soon as 。例如： The instant he saw her he fell in love. The moment he saw me, he turned pale. I’ll tell him the minute he gets there. Immediately he came home, I told him about that. 问：老师burst out 与burst into完全相同吗？ 答：burst out 与burst into意思都是“突然……起来”，但一般说来，burst out doing something ,而 burst into something，例如： The child burst out crying at the sight of his mother. =The child burst into tears at the sight of his mother. 问：“I really hoped that Roy would explain why he had been stealing, but instead he started avoiding me.” 中，“had been stealing”是什么用法？ 答：had been stealing是过去完成进行时，表示动作从过去某时开始，一直延续到过去另一时间，并且在过去另一时间正在做某事,过去完成时更强调动作的持续性和不间断性。例如： I’d been working for three hours when he called. As I was told last week, the firm had been losing money. 问： CULTURAL CORNER中，“ It would have been impossible to find my daughter without the help of Friends Reunited .”此处为什么要用would have been…？ 答：without介词短语相当于if 引导的虚拟条件句，所以主句要用虚拟语气。此外，英语中还有介词、介词短语或过去分词短语，如but, otherwise, but for, given more time, if only 等，可以表示虚拟条件。例如： Without air, there would be no living things. But for you help, I couldn’t have done it. If only I were a bird. 问：老师请帮我总结一下非谓语动词作宾语的情况，好吗？ 答：好的。下面我们分析归纳一下非谓语动词作宾语的情况。 有些动词既可带-ing 形式，也可带不定式形式作宾语，意思上区别不大。如：start, begin, continue, like, prefer等。 有些动词只可带不定式。如：want, wish, hope, expect, ask, pretend, care, decide, happen, long, offer, refuse, fail, plan, prepare, order, cause, afford, beg, manage, agree, promise等。 有些动词只可带-ing 形式。如：? enjoy, finish, suggest, avoid, excuse, delay, imagine, keep, miss, appreciate, be busy, be worth, feel like, can’t stand, can’t help, think of, dream of, be fond of, prevent…(from), keep…from, stop…(from), protect…from, set about, be engaged in, spend…(in), succ
