When was it built?
那美丽的姑娘经常用手捂着脸。
10. It was founded on October 1, 1949.
它是1949年报0月成立的。
found vt.创立,创办,它与find的过去式和过去分词相同,注意在句中的区别。found的过去式和过去分词是在其后加-ed,即:
find(寻找) found found
found(成立,建立) founded founded
例如:
Mr. Wang is going to found a new factory near our factory. He was very busy this morning. His lost coat was found under the bed at last.
王先生准备在我们工厂附近创办一家新工厂。今天早上他很忙,他丢失的上衣终于在床下找到了。
11. It’s interesting, isn’t it?
它有趣,是吗?
interesting和interested都来源于名词interest,interesting可作表语和定语,主语常指物;interested作表语,主语常指人,常构成be (become) interested in… 对……感兴趣。类似的词还有surprising和surprised。
surprising和surprised都是由surprise变换而来的,前者有主动含义,后者有被动含义,surprising的主语通常是物,而surprised的主语通常是人。Be surprised at + n. (v. + ing) 对……感到惊讶,be surprised后还可接不定式和that引导的从句。例如:
(1) The news from the girl is very surprising. She said that dull film was interesting.
从那个女孩那儿得来的消息非常令人吃惊。她说那个无聊的电影很有趣。
(2) The students were very interested in dinosaurs when they visited the museum. They were surprised at seeing the teacher in front of them. Do you know why they surprised to meet their teacher in the museum?
学生们在参观博物馆时对恐龙很感兴趣。他们很惊讶地看见老师就在他们前面。你知道在参观博物馆时,为什么他们对遇见老师感到很惊讶吗?
12. When the bowl was filled with hot water, the wine would get warm.
当碗里装满了热水,酒就会变热。
Be filled with (某物)被装满……,
其主动式为fill… with… 把……装满……。例如:
When the room was filled with the smoke, we were filling the hole. The hole was filled with sand at last.
房间里弥漫着烟雾时,我们正用填洞。最终这个洞被沙填上了。
另外,类似的短语录还有be full of:意思是“充满……”表示状态。
The bottle is full of milk.
这个瓶装满了牛奶。
The garden is full of sheep.
园子里到处是羊。
13. Have you used / worn it a lot?
你经常用 / 穿吗?
这里的a lot相当于often,表示经常,在句中做状语录。另外,a lot常单独使用,成为句子的一个成分,在句中可作主语、宾语或状语,意思是“很多,非常”。例如:
(1) Thanks a lot (= very much)!(作状语)
多谢!
(2) We can learn a lot (= much) from the workers.
(作宾语)我们能从工人们那里学到很多东西。
(3) A lot (= much) has been done about the thing.
(作主语)关于这件事已经采取了许多措施。
(4) It is a lot (= much) colder today.
(作状语)今天冷多了。
教学建议
被动语态
本单元继续学习被动语态,我们已知道被动语态是由be + 过去分词构成。当不知道动作的执行者是谁或强调动作的承受者时,用被动语态。一般现在时的被动语态由is (am, are) + 过去分词构成,那么一般过去时态的被动语太就是was (were) 后加not。它的疑问形式一般是将was (were) 放在主语前。
构成:was / were + 及物动词的过去分词。
例如:The teaching building was built six years ago.
这座教学楼是八年前建的。
肯定句:The window was broken last night.
昨晚玻璃被打碎了。
否定句:The machine wasn’t used for cutting two years ago.
这机器两年前不是用来切东西的。
The paintings weren’t finished last year.
这些油画不是去年完成的。
一般疑问句:
Were the textbooks written in English in 1982?
这教材是在982年写的吗?
Yes, the were. / No, they weren’t.
是,是在1982年写的。/ 不,它们不是在1982年写的。
Was your school built in 1978?
你们学校是建于1978年吗?
Yes, it was. / No, it wasn’t.
是,它是1978年建的。/ 不,它不是1978年建的。
特殊疑问句:
When was this club founded?
俱乐部是什么时候成立的?
Where were those buses made?
这些汽车是在哪儿制造的?
[例]He saw here come out of the library.(改为被动语态)
误:She was seen come out of the library.
正:She was seen to come out of the library.
解析:凡主动语态的句子中有省去不定式符号to的不定式作宾语补足语,改为被动语态时,必须将不定式符号to加上,此时的不定式事实上是主语的补足语了。
被动语态的语法计时解
上一讲我们学了被动语态的一般现在时态概念、极成及其用法等。大家知道被动语态的结构是“be+及物动词的过去分词+其它”构成。被动语态的时态都是通过助动词be来体现的,即be是什么时态,该被动句就是什么时态。以动词do为例,就几种常见的时候列表如下:
时态
语态
一般现在时态
is / am / are don
