【句子运用】

1. Why don’t you get her a camera? Why don’t you ...? 虽然在形式上是个疑问句，但却常用来表示一种建议，意为“你为什不……？”。例如：

Why don’t you come and see the doctor? 你为什么不来看医生呢？

Why don’t you go there tomorrow? 你为什么不明天去那里呢？

Why not ...?可以看作是Why don’t you ...?的省略形式，语气比较婉转，后接动词原形。例如：

Why not go to school by bus? 你为什么不乘公共汽车上学？

接受用这种方式提出的建议时，常用Good idea! / That’s a good idea! / OK. / All right.等作答。拒绝用这种方式提出的建议时，用No, thanks.等作答。

Why didn’t you ...?用来询问一件事本该做而实际上没有做的原因，说话人含有责备的口气。我们往往用because ...来回答。例如：

―Why didn’t you attend the meeting? 你为什么不出席会议？

―Because I was ill. 因为我病了。

2. How about some tennis balls? / What about a watch?

How / What about...?意为“……怎么样；如何”，常用来询问、了解情况或征询对方的看法、意见或建议，后接名词、代词或动词的-ing 形式。例如：

How about going to the cinema with me? 同我一起去看电影怎么样？

What about something to drink? 来点儿喝的怎么样？

The boys went to the cinema. What about the girls? 男生去看电影了，女生呢？

3. The movie was boring. I fell asleep half way through it.

fall asleep 与go to bed 用法区别：

fall asleep 意为“睡着；入睡”。 例如：

He was just falling asleep when there was a loud knock at the door. 他正要睡着时就有人大声敲门。

The old man sat in his chair, closed his eyes and fell asleep. 老人坐在椅子上，闭上眼睛就睡着了。

go to sleep 或get to sleep 也可以表达同样的意思。例如：

Finally the children went to sleep. 最后孩子们睡着了。

go to bed 意为“就寝”，强调“上床睡觉”这个动作。例如：

He usually goes to bed at 10 o’clock in the evening. 他通常晚上十点钟上床睡觉。

I went to bed too late last night. 昨晚我睡得太晚了。

4. In the USA, some people ask their families and friends to give money to charity rather than buy them gifts.

rather than 意为“而不是”，用来连接两个并列的成分，如名词、代词、形容词、动词的-ing 形式等。例如：

These shoes are comfortable rather than pretty. 这些鞋不好看，但穿起来很舒服。

I’d like to go in summer rather than in winter. 我想夏天去，不想冬天去。

I always prefer getting up early rather than going to school without breakfast. 我总是宁愿早起床，而不愿意不吃早餐就去上学。

I decided to write a letter rather than make a phone call. 我决定写信，而不打电话。

5. We should try to make progress before the Olympics.

make progress 意为“进步；取得进展”。progress 是不可数名词，没有复数形式。例如： Lucy is not making much progress at school. 露西在学校进步不大。

We are glad that he has made such good progress. 他取得这样大的进步，我们感到高兴。

6. Have you ever heard of the Beijing Speaks English program?

hear of 意为“听说；得知”，指间接听到某人或某事的一些情况，其后可接名词或动词的-ing形式。例如：

I have never heard of that place. 我从来没有听说过那个地方。

He heard of her coming and waited there the whole morning. 听说她要来，他便在那儿等了整整一个上午。

7. If you look hard enough, you’ll find a good way to learn English better.

句中的enough 是副词，意为“足够地；充分地”，修饰副词或形容词时，应位于其后。例如：

This book is easy enough for a

six-year-old child to read. 这本书内容浅显，六岁的孩子就能看懂。

I can’t see clearly enough. 我看得不够清楚。

此外，enough 作副词时，还可修饰动词。例如：

Have you played enough? 你玩够了吗？

enough 还可作形容词，用来修饰名词。这时enough可放在名词前面，也可放在名词后面。例如：

We have enough money / money enough to buy a car. 我们有足够的钱来买一辆汽车。

way 意为“方法”，后接“of + 动词的-ing 形式或动词不定式”，意为“……的方法”。 例如：

That is the best way of doing it. 那是做这件事的最好方法。

The best way to learn English is listening and speaking more. 学习英语的最佳方法是多听多说。

Reading English books is a better way of learning English. 阅读英语书籍是一种较好的学习英语的方法。
