Unit3 A taste of English humour Language points for reading;... and up to now nobody has been able to do this better than Charlie Chaplin. 句中up to now = up till now, 表示“到现在 为止”, 常与现在完成时连用。如： I haven’t got any letters from him up to now. 直到现在我还没收到过他的信。 ;Her life has run smoothly up to now. 她的生活到目前仍一帆风顺。 【拓展】 up to 达到……程度或数量 be up to sth 能胜任某事; 忙于某事或 从事于某事 be up to sb 该由某人做出决定; 取决于某人;… so they could feel more content with their lives. 1) content adj. 满足; 满意; 知足 常见搭配: be content with sth. be content to do sth. 如： Are you content with your present salary? 你对你现在的工资待遇满意吗？ She is quite content to stay at home looking after her children. 她呆在家里照顾孩子感到非常知足。;区别: content; contented; satisfied content与contented意思接近, 指“虽然各种愿望 没有实现, 但人应安于现状不再多求”, content 一般作表语, 而contented一般作定语; satisfied指“愿望、渴望或需求都得到了满足, 因而心满意足了”。 She has a contented look. 她显得满意的样子。 2) content n. 所含之物, 内容 如： I like the style of the book but I don’t like the content. 我喜欢这本书的文体, 但我不喜欢它的内容。;We sat there, ______with what we listened to. satisfying B. to satisfy C. contented D. content 解析: 本题考查动词用法。 satisfied表示“感到满意的”, 把A、B两项 排除; content既是形容词, 又是动词, be content with对……满足。;3. Not that Charlie’s own life was easy! 卓别林自己的生活并没有那么容易！ 本句为not构成的倒装句。that为副词, 修饰 形容词easy。 在英语中, 有时为了强调某一成分而将具有 否定意义的副词置于句首构成倒装句, 这样 的副词有not, never, seldom, little, few等。 本句可转换为: Charlie’s own life was not that easy! ;又如： Only in the country can you learn the “true English”. Never have I seen such a performance. Nowhere will you find the answer to this question. Not until the child fell asleep did the mother leave the room. ;4. You may find it astonishing that Charlie was taught to sing as soon as he could speak and dance as soon as he could walk. 令人感到震惊的是, 当查理会说话和走路的 时候就被教唱歌和跳舞。 1) it在句中作形式宾语, 动词不定式to see…the road才是真正的宾语。当动词不定式作句子 的宾语, 同时有一个形容词同宾语在一起时， 常用it作形式宾语。如：I’ll make it my business to help her.??? 我会把帮助她作为我的责任。
