1.be made of, be made from, be made in与be made by的区别
make是一个非常活跃的动词,意为“制造;制作”时,常用于被动语态。be made后面可以接不同的介词,其含义也不尽相同。
(1)be made of...意为“某物由„„制造而成”(从制成品中可以看出原材料)。如: The desks and chairs are made of wood. 这些书桌和椅子是由木头制成的。
(2)be made from...意为“某物由„„制造而成”(从制成品中一般看不出或难以分辨出原材料)。如:
Paper is made from wood and bamboo. 纸是由木头和竹子制造而成的。
(3)be made in...意为“某物由某地制造”。如: The computer is made in China. 这台电脑是由中国制造的。
(4)be made by...意为“某物由某个人或集体制造而成”,其中介词by用来强调动作的执行者。如:
The TV set is made by the workers in the factory. 这台电视机是由这个厂的工人制造的。 2.be known for以„„而著名 此短语相当于be famous for。如: He is known for his good voice. 他因他的好嗓子而出名。
与be known as的区别:be known as=be famous as,意为“作为„„而闻名”。如: He is known/famous as a good singer. 他作为一个好歌手而闻名。 3.no matter无论;不管
此短语与what, who, when, where, which, how等疑问词连用,引导让步状语从句(注意:why一般不放在no matter后面)。在这种让步状语从句中,我们常用一般现在时态代替一般将来时态,用一般过去时态代替过去将来时态。如:
①No matter what he says, we won't believe him. 不管他说什么,我们都不相信他。 ②No matter who comes, don't let him in. 无论是谁过来,都不要让他进来。
③No matter how tired he was, he went on doing his work. 不管他有多累,他还是继续做他的工作。
④You can come here for a cup of coffee no matter when you are free. 你不管什么时候有空,都可以来这儿喝一杯咖啡。
疑问词后接-ever也可以引导让步状语从句,常见的有:whatever, whoever, whichever,
whenever, wherever, however,而且意思和no matter加疑问词相同。如:
Wherever you go, I'll go with you.
不管你走到哪里,我都跟你一起去。 4.produce, grow与plant的区别
(1)produce作动词,指农作物成产量化的生产,或自然地生长出果实等。如: These trees can produce very good apples. 这些树能长出很好的苹果。
(2)grow作动词,意为“种植;(使)生长”,着重指种植以后的栽培、生长过程。如: These plants grow from seeds. 这些植物从种子生长而来。
(3)plant作动词,意为“种植”,侧重“栽种;播种”这一行为,指把种子或秧苗栽种到土壤里使之生长。如:
How many trees have you planted this year? 今年你们种了多少棵树? 5.turn... into 把„„变成
turn... into=change...into,意为“把„„变成”。如: Water can be turned into ice. 水能变成冰。
turn 的常用短语:turn up(音量)调高,turn down(音量)调低, turn on 打开, turn off 关掉, turn around 环顾四周, turn to 转向;翻到(某页)。
1.He found it interesting that so many products in the local shops were made in China. 他发现这么多当地商店里的商品都是中国制造的真的很有趣。
find it+adj.+to do sth.意为“发现做某事是„„”,it是形式宾语,代替后面的动词不定式,也可以用复合句的形式find it+be动词+adj.+to do sth.。如:
①We find it difficult to learn English well. =We find it is difficult to learn English well. 我们发现要学好英语是困难的。
②We found it (was) impossible to finish the work in half an hour. 我们发现在半个小时内完成这些工作是不可能的。
2.Even though most of the toys were American brands, they were made in China. 即使大多数玩具都是美国品牌,但它们是中国制造的。
even though意为“即使;尽管;虽然”,引导让步状语从句。even though与though或although的意思比较接近,许多时候可以互换,但不能与but连用。注意:不能说even although。如:
①Even though/Though/Although I didn't know anybody at the party, I had a nice time. 尽管这次聚会上我谁也不认识,但我玩得很开心。 ②He went out even though it was raining. 尽管在下雨,他还是出去了。
③Even though it's hard work, I enjoy it very much. 虽然工作艰苦,我还是很喜欢。
区别于even though, even if引导的从句往往是假设性的,相当于汉语的“即使;纵然;就算;哪怕”。如:
①Even if I have to walk all the way, I'll get there. 即使我得一路走着去,我也要走到那里。 ②Even if it rains tomorrow, we won't change our plan. 即使明天下雨,我们也不会改变计
划。
even if有时还可用于虚拟语气。如:
Even if he had the money, he wouldn't buy it. 他即使有钱也不会买它。
被动语态(一)
语态是动词的一种形式,表示主语与谓语之间的关系。英语有两种语态:主动语态和被动语态。主动语态表示主语是谓语动作的执行者,而被动语态表示主语是谓语动作的承受者。如:
①They will build a new library in the city. (主语they是谓语will build的动作执行者) ②That swimming pool was built in 1980.
(主语that swimming pool是谓语was built的动作承受者) 1.被动语态的构成
被动语态的形式是由“助动词be+动词的过去分词”构成。助动词be随着主语的人称、数、时态和语气的不同而变化。主动语态中的主语在被动语态中以宾格形式跟在介词by后面。
2.一般现在时的被动语态
一般现在时的被动语态是由“am/is/are+动词的过去分词”构成。如: ①People often plant the trees in spring.
→The trees are often planted (by people) in spring. ②Do you feed the chicken four times a day? →Are the chicken fed (by you) four times a day? ③People grow rice in the south of the country. →Rice is grown in the south of the country.
④The teachers don't allow us to bring mobile phones to school. →We are not allowed to bring mobile phones to school.
【注意】有些动词既是及物动词又是不及物动词,当它们和well, badly, easily等副词连用时,表示主语内在品质或性能,是不及物动词,用主动表示被动,这时不用被动语态,常见的有:write, read, clean, sell, wash, cook等。如:
①The cloth washes well. 这种布料很好洗。 ②This kind of bags sells well. 这种袋子卖得很好。
③The shoes wear long. 这种鞋子很耐穿。 ④The knife cuts well. 这把刀很好切。
