本課簡介
在Families這篇課文中,作者首先告訴我們對于不同的人來說“家庭”有不同的含義,但是家庭意味著某種歸屬這一點是所有人的共識。作者還對核心家庭和大家庭的演變進行了分析,從中我們更可以看出家庭成員在家庭中的角色和作用的變化。
本課語言點
1. …a group of people related by blood or marriage, …
句子中的by??膳c某些名詞連用,在名詞前面不加定冠詞the,意思相當于“with regard to”,“according to”。請看下面的例句:
1) He is an Englishman by birth. (他祖籍英國。)
2) He is a teacher by profession. (他以醫(yī)生為職業(yè)。)
3) By birth and by education Thomas Jefferson belonged to the highest social class, but he never looked down upon the working-class people.
(按其出生和所受的教育,托馬斯?杰弗遜都屬于社會的了最高階層,但他從來不輕視勞動人民。)
relate是一個動詞,在句子中的意思是“使聯(lián)系”。請看例句:
1)It is not difficult for people to relate the result to the cause. (人們要把結(jié)果和原因聯(lián)系起來并不困難。)
2)It might be more helpful to you if you can relate theory to practice.(如果你能把理論和實踐聯(lián)系起來,對你的幫助也許會更大。)
relate還可解釋為敘述;有關(guān),涉及;相處得好
1) He related us a story vividly. (他生動地給我們講述了一個故事。)
2) His talk related to the international situation. (他的講話涉及國際形勢。)
3) He relates very well to his classmates. (他和同學們相處得很好。)
related可以做形容詞用,意思是“有聯(lián)系的,相關(guān)的?!?/P>
1) These four people are closely related to each other. (這四個人聯(lián)系緊密。)
2) He is very much interesting in painting and the related arts. (他對繪畫及其有關(guān)的藝術(shù)很感興趣。)
2. …all those people descended from a common ancestor, …所有來自同一祖先的人們。
“descended from a common ancestor”是一個省略了that的定語從句,修飾people.descended from的意思是“傳下,遺傳”,如:
1) His family were descended from an Indian tribe. (他的家庭是印第安部落的后裔。)
2) Darwin concluded that men were descended from apes. (達爾文斷定人由猿進化而來。)
descend to 的意思是“屈尊,降低;轉(zhuǎn)而說到”
1) The firm had descended to using nude pictures for advertising. (那家公司墮落到用裸照做廣告。)
2)Mr. Lee then descended to the details we had to be careful about.(李先生轉(zhuǎn)而談到了我們必須注意的細節(jié)問題。)
common是一個形容詞,意思是“共有的,共同的;普通的”,請看例句:
1)No doubt, this is a grammatical mistake common to beginners in English. (毫無疑問,這是英語初學者常犯的語法錯誤。)
2)How could you have no idea about this common knowledge? (對這個普通常識你怎么會一無所知。)
3)They have no common interests. (他們沒有共同的愛好。)
3. Some people thank of a family as a mother, a father, and their children, …
think of …as …是一個很常用的詞組,意思是“把…看作…”,如:
1) He often thinks of himself as a genius. (他常把自己看作為天才。)
2) The Yellow River is thought of as the cradle of the Chinese nation. (黃河被看作為中華民族的搖籃。)
與think of…as…意思相近的詞組在英語中還有很多。如:
regard…as look upon…as…
see…as… view…as…
consider…as…
4. For others, having a family simply means having children.
本句中,having a family做主語,mean為謂語動詞,having children 做賓語。mean在句中的意思是“意味著”。當mean作“意味著”解釋時,在它的后面應(yīng)該跟名詞或者動名詞,如:
1)Accepting the job would mean moving to another city. (接受這份工作將意味著我得搬到另一個城市去。)
2)A raise in the worker's salary will mean a cut in the profit. (增加工人的工資意味著利潤的降低。)
當mean作“意欲,打算”解釋時,在它的后面通常跟不定式,如:
1)I didn't mean to offend you. (我無意冒犯你。)
2)I meant to give you the book yesterday, but I forgot it. (我原打算昨天把書給你的,但我忘了。)
5. Some families have long histories, while others know very little about their ancestors.
請注意while的用法,在本句中while是一個表示轉(zhuǎn)折意味的連詞,意思是“然而”。如:Fred gambled all his money away while Jane saved every penny for her son's schooling. (弗雷德賭輸了他所有的錢,而珍妮卻為兒子的教育攢下每一分錢。)
while在不同的語境中有不同的意思,請翻譯下面的句子,注意while的詞義。
1)They decided to find a less expensive place to stay while in Paris.(在巴黎期間,他們打算找個更便宜的地方住。)
2)He looked at his watch several times while talking to her. (在跟她交談時,他看了幾次表。)
3)One group of children are quiet, while the second group was very active. (一組孩子很安靜,而第二組孩子非?;钴S。)
4)While I have sympathy for these people, I think they are guilty. (盡管我同情這些人,但我覺得他們有罪。)
5)We will succeed while we don't lose hope. (只要我們不失去希望,我們就會成功。)
6. No matter if it is young or old, large or small traditional or modern, every family has a sense of what a family is.
no matter if 連接讓步狀語從句,更常見的是用no matter whether.除了no matter whether以外,no matter wh-引導的讓步狀語從句還有:no matter what, no matter who, no matter whose, no matter which, no matter when, no matter where, no matter how等等。而用wh-ever引導讓步從句也是十分常見的。請看下面的例句:
1) No matter what happens, please let me know. (無論發(fā)生什么事,請讓我知道。)
2) No matter who telephones, tell him I'm out. (無論誰來電話,告訴他我出去了。)
3) No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't succeed. (無論我多努力,我總不能成功。)
4) No matter whether you believe it or not, it's truth. (無論你信不信,那總是事實。)
5) No matter where you go, I will follow you. (無論你去哪里,我都跟著你。)
6) No matter which book you like you can have it. (無論你喜歡哪本書,你都可以拿去。)
7) No matter whose money it is, we can't spend it so carelessly. (無論是誰的錢,我們都不能這樣隨意地花)
