Ex:I advise you not to put your faith in such a remedy.
3.Only an exceptionally heavy snow fall might temporarily dislocate railway services.
背誦句型
4.It is all too easy to blame the railway authorities when something does go wrong.
too...to句型中,在too前出現(xiàn)了all, only, but, not等詞的時候,to就有肯定意義
句子中It 為先行詞,在句子中作形式主語,to blame...這一動詞不定式短語在句子中作邏輯主語.
比較
too..to .. 太...以致不能做...
does 為助動詞,這里表示強調(diào),意為"真的""的確"
5.The truth is that when mistakes occur, they are more likely to be ours than theirs.
be likely to do 有可能 ...
Ex:
You are likely to get success if you work hard.
It is likely that...
It is likely that he arrived here in time.
when 為從屬連詞,在 that引導(dǎo)的從句中引導(dǎo)一個時間狀語從句
ours & theirs均為斜體,表強調(diào). ours=our mistakes, theirs=their mistakes.
6.After consulting my railway timetable, I noted with satisfaction that there was an express train to Westhaven.
After 后,直接使用分詞短語,在句中作時間狀語.
Ex:After talking to you I always feel better.
with satisfaction 滿意地. 為介詞"with+抽象名詞"構(gòu)成的短語結(jié)構(gòu), 作狀語,修飾noted . 句中 that為關(guān)系連詞,引導(dǎo)其后的賓語從句.

direct from...to... 直接從...到...
8.When I boarded the train, I could not help noticing that a great many local people got on as well. At the time, this did not strike me as odd.

Ex:

Ex:
Your plan struck me as rather impracticel.
9. I reflected that there must be a great many people besides myself who wished to take advantage of this excellent service.
背誦句型
take advantage of 利用.在使用這個短語時, 在介詞of 后可以是人,也可以是物,作賓語.但所表示的意義不同.
當(dāng)以人為賓語時,往往含貶義,主要指利用某人的弱點而占某人的便宜. 因此常帶表示"欺騙,捉弄"的含義.
Ex:Don't try to take advantage of me; I know fully well what you are up to.
當(dāng)以物為賓語時,既可用與褒義,也可用與貶義;作褒義時,表示"利用"; 作貶義是,表示"乘機利用",往往指利用別人的不幸或不利等攻擊或打擊別人,以達(dá)到自己的目的.
Ex:
I should like to take advantageof this oppertunity to express my thanks for your help. (褒義)
He always thaks full advantage of the mistakes made by his revals. (貶義)
10.Neither was I surprised when the train stopped at Widley.
Neither: 當(dāng)要說明某人,某事或某種情況與前面提到的相同,并且均為否定含義時, 可以使用Neither引導(dǎo)的這個句子.但必須倒裝語序.
Ex:I admit I have made a mistake, neither do I deny the serious consequences it may have.
11.Even a mighty express train can be held up by signals.
hold up: =hold back, hinder, prevent
12.It suddenly dawned on me that this express was not roaring down the line at ninety miles an hour
dawn on sb 漸漸被某人明白
Ex:The idea suddenly dawned on me.

come to: start, begin
2.They will hardly know which facts to select from the great mass of evidence that steadily accumulates.
背誦句型
select from 從......中進(jìn)行選擇(同類中)
choose挑選(憑個人意愿)
1)有三種情況choose和 select不能互換:
1.當(dāng)在兩者中選一個時只能用choose, 即choose between
Ex
We have to choose between leaving early and paying for taxi.
2.choose可帶 wh從句
Ex
I'll let you choose where we should go to eat.
3.choose to do 只能用choose.
Ex
What invariably happens is that a great number of things choose to go wrong at precisely the same moment.(L33 )
He has deliberately chosen to lead the life he leads and is fully aware of the consequences. (L27)
2)select比choose更正式, 即在許多同類的人或物當(dāng)中根據(jù)客觀標(biāo)準(zhǔn)對這兩個加以比較,鑒別,認(rèn)真地挑選出好的、喜歡的、有用的。
Ex:She selected a dictionary from the library.
3.What is more they will not have to rely solely on the written word. Films, videos. CDs and CD-ROMs are just some of the bewildering amount of information they will have.
What is more 更有甚者,furthremore,moreover 是的意思
what is worse 更糟糕的是
rely on: depend on 依靠,指望
Ex:
They have to rely on rain for their water. 依靠
We are relying on you to get us out of this mess. 指望
solely: adv. 地 only, just, nearly
4.They will be able, as it were, to see and hear us in action.
背誦句型
as it were 可以說,似乎,好像.此位虛擬語氣的狀語從句,可用于各種時態(tài)的句子中.通常作為獨立成分的插入語使用,位于句中,前后用逗號分開.其作用是表示所指的那個詞或那句話是個比喻說法.
Ex:
He is as it were a walking dictionary.
A good dictionary is a useful tool and , as it were, a constant friend to a student of language.
比較
as it is =in fact=in really=actually=as a matter of fact 事實上
Ex:
I thought things would get better,but as it is , they are getting worse.
5.But the historian attempting to reconstruct the distant past is always faced with a difficult task.
be faced with: be in the position in which one must deal with a problem or unpleasant situation. 面臨(因境,問題)往往不是出于主語的意愿.
Ex:
A great many people are faced with losing their jobs.
He was faced with many difficulties which, with the help of his friends, he successfully overcame.
6.Even seemingly insignificant remains can shed interesting light on the history of early man.
shed light on=throw light on = cast light on 意思是:make a matter clear or understood...照亮...使...清楚顯現(xiàn).

The investingation shed new light on the mystery.
remains ==ruins 遺跡,遺物
insignificant==unimportant

come into being = come into existence 產(chǎn)生,出現(xiàn)
be faced with a real need to do sth. 面臨著做某事的真正需要
Ex:We are faced with a real need to learn English well.
8. Recent scientific evidence seems to indicate that this assumption is incorrect.
indicate 揭示
9.By correlating markings made in various parts of the world, historians have been able to read this difficult code.
correlate 相互聯(lián)系
By...world作方式狀語,修飾 have been able to read . 此介詞短語中的made in...world 為過去分詞短語作定語,修飾markings.
10. It has long been known that the hunting scenes depicted on walls were not simply a form of artistic expression.
It作形式主語,其后由關(guān)系連詞引導(dǎo)的從句為邏輯主語. that 從句中的depicted on walls 為過去分詞短語, 作定語, 修飾scenes.

1.The rough road across the plain soon became so bad that we tried to get Bruce to drive back to the village we had come from.
get sb to do sth: persuade / advise sb. to do
so...that 太...以至于...為關(guān)聯(lián)詞, 引導(dǎo)結(jié)果狀從.
we had come from. 定語從句, 由于先行詞village 在從句中作介詞 from 的賓語,因此在village 與從句間省略了關(guān)系代詞 that/which.
2.Even though the road was littered with boulders and pitted with holes, Bruce was not in the least perturbed.
not in the least= not at all / not a bit/ not the least bit 一點也不, 通常用于否定句, 疑問句或條件句中.
Ex:Are you in the least interesting in becoming a teacher?
be littered with 布滿;be pitted with 因...而坑坑洼洼. 他們共用一個主語 the road ,使句子更簡潔.

not that 并不是說...并非...多用于口語有時作插入語,對所說情況作進(jìn)一步說明

Ex:It was not that Bruce always underestimated difficulties, but he simply had no sence of danger at all.
4.We felt sure that sooner or later a stone would rip a hole in our petrol tank or damage the engine.
sooner or later 遲早,作時間狀語.
Ex:If you drive like that, sooner or later you'll have an accident.
5.Because of this, we kept looking back, wondering if we were leaving a trail of oil and petrol behind us.
keep doing sth: 除表示連續(xù)不斷的動作或持續(xù)狀態(tài)外,還表示反復(fù)發(fā)生的動作.
look back 回頭看 wondering 從句做伴隨狀況狀語
6.What a relief it was when the boulders suddenly disappeared, giving way to a stretch of plain where the only obstacles were clumps of bushes. What 感嘆詞
give way to 為......所代替. 現(xiàn)在分詞作結(jié)果狀語.

11. A yellow light on the dash- board flashed angrily and Bruce cheerfully announced that there was no oil in the engine!
angrily 形容"燈",是擬人手法, 與cheerfully 以對比形式出現(xiàn). 形成修辭--對照法. 即將相反或相對的兩個意思或兩個詞以對等的結(jié)構(gòu)安排在句中,形成對照, 增強表達(dá)效果.
