Lesson 55
Not a gold mine
并非金礦
First listen and then answer the question.
聽錄音,然后回答以下問題。
What did the team find?
Dreams of finding lost treasure almost came true recently. A new machine called The Revealer has been invented and it has been used to detect gold which has been buried in the ground. The machine was used in a cave near the seashore where -- it is said -- pirates used to hide gold. The pirates would often bury gold in the cave and then fail to collect it. Armed with the new machine, a search party went into the cave hoping to find buried treasure. The leader of the party was examining the soil near the entrance to the cave when the machine showed that there was gold under the ground. Very excited, the party dug a hole two feet deep. They finally found a small gold coin which was almost worthless. The party then searched the whole cave thoroughly but did not find anything except an empty tin trunk. In spite of this, many people are confident that The Revealer may reveal something of value fairly soon.

并非金礦
最近,找到失蹤寶藏的夢想差一點兒變成現(xiàn)實。一種叫“探寶器”的新機器已經(jīng)發(fā)明出來,并被人們用來探測地下埋藏的金子。在靠近海邊的一個據(jù)說過去海盜常在里面藏金子的巖洞里,這種機器被派上了用場。海盜們過去常把金子埋藏在那個洞里,可后來卻沒能取走。一支用這種新機器裝備起來的探寶隊進入了這個巖洞,希望找到埋藏著的金子。當這個隊的隊長正在檢查洞口附近的土壤時,那臺機器顯示出它的下面埋有金子。隊員們異常激動,就地挖了一個兩英尺深的坑,但最后找到的是一枚幾乎一錢不值的小金幣。隊員們接著又把整個洞徹底搜尋了一遍,但除了一只空鐵皮箱外什么也沒找到。盡管如此,很多人仍然相信“探寶器”很快就會探出值錢的東西來。

一句話中只有一個動詞,如果再出現(xiàn)動詞,可以用and并列連接,也可以變成復合句
用when,because連接,還可以使這個動詞表示動詞意思,但不做謂語,即非謂語
動詞
過去分詞做定語,表示被
ploughed field
n+called
the plane called a “Pilatus Porter”
如果用短語修飾其他詞,則把短語放在被修飾詞的后邊
be used to do被用來
used to do
同位語從句中的引導詞只要一個that
under the ground
it is said是插入語“據(jù)說”
used to常常
would一般表示從過去看將來,但此處表示“used to”過去常做
be armed with
went into the cave
hoping to find
如果幾個句子的主語是同一事物,則可以把幾個句子合并為一個句子
在把握中心句子的前提下,注意其他成分的合成。如果是主動關系,用ing形式
保留一個句子做主句,其他的變成非謂語動詞
非謂語動詞采用何種形式,則根據(jù)其與主語的關系,如果是主動關系,用ing,被動
關系,則用動詞的ed形式
主句與其他句子的位置安排要保持句子的平衡,還要注意動作的連貫
the boy went home。the boy was crying。the boy was beaten
beaten by sb,the boy went home,crying
形容詞短語做狀語
tired of
two feet deep數(shù)詞+量詞+形容詞
long/wide/high/deep
數(shù)詞+量詞+形容詞結構可以做定語;也可以做表語
the street is wide
the street is five meters wide
離名詞最近的形容詞是最被強調(diào)的
in spite of盡管
something of value
of 加名詞往往讓人聯(lián)想這名詞對應的形容詞
of value=valuable
形容詞要放在不定代詞的后邊
something important
something of importance
someone patient
someone of patience
multiple choice
3、介詞后面要加v+ing形式
被用來做某事,有兩種表達方式
如果跟名詞相連說be used for
如果跟動詞相連說be used to do+v be use
