2011年10月自考英语考前要点复习(11)

　　本课语言点

　　1. Learning a language is easy.

　　这是一个 主语+动词+表语 (SVP)句型。句中learning a language为动名词短语，在句子中做主语。再如：

　　Forgetting the past means betrayal.(忘记过去就意味着背叛。)

　　请翻译下面的句子：

　　1) 阅读英语比讲英语容易。 (Reading English is easier than speaking it.)

　　2) 集邮是我弟弟的爱好。(Collecting stamps is my little brother''s hobby.)

　　2. Even a child can do it.

　　even在句中作副词用，加强语气，表示“甚至(…也)，连(…都)”。如：He even didn''t trust his best friend.(他甚至不信任他最好的朋友。)

　　请注意even与 even if / though的区别并翻译下面的句子：

　　1) 这个我连听都没听过。(I haven''t even heard of it.)

　　2) 即使花了数天时间复习，他也没能考好。(He didn''t do well in the exam even though he spent days reviewing.)

　　3. Most adults who are learning a second language would disagree with this statement.

　　句中who are learning a second language为定语从句，修饰先行词most adults，再如：

　　The man who wrote this book is a teacher.(写这本书的人是一位教师。)

　　请翻译下面的句子：

　　1) 穿蓝色夹克的那个男孩是我们的班长。

　　(The boy who is in a blue jacket is our monitor.)

　　2) 你昨天借给我的那本书很有趣。

　　(The book that you lent me yesterday is very interesting.)

　　句中的would是助动词，表示“可能”，“(将)会”。例如：

　　A picnic without you wouldn''t be fun.(野餐没你参加会很没意思。)

　　助动词would的用法很多，概括起来主要有如下几种：

　　1) 表示过去将来时：I felt confident that everything would be all right.

　　2) 表示意愿：I asked him not to do it， but he wouldn''t listen to me.

　　3) 表示习惯性：Every evening， we would go for a walk along the river.

　　4) 表示虚拟，假设，条件：If you had come earlier， you would have seen him.

　　5) 表示婉转地请求或建议：Would you look after my cat while I am away?

　　4. They need hundreds of hours of study and practice， and even this will not guarantee success for every adult language learner.

　　注意句中hundreds of hours的用法，阅读课本第六页注解2.
