＂It happens+that从句＂表示＂正巧、恰好……＂，此句型可换为＂happen+不定式＂结
构。
☞ What happened to him, by the way? 顺便问一句，他怎么了？
☞ I happened to meet my father on my way. 我正好在路上碰到了我爸爸。
☞ It happened that she was busy then.
=She happened to be busy then.
她碰巧当时正忙。
【易混辨析】
＂发生＂，是一般用语，词义较广，一般指事情、事故的发生，强调事情发生
的偶然性或未能预见地发生，不用于被动语态。
happen
☞ A funny thing happened in the subway yesterday. 昨天地铁里发生了一件
有趣的事。
一般指有计划、事先安排的事件的＂发生＂，没有偶然性，也表示一般的＂发
生＂，此外还有＂举行＂的意思。
take place
☞ Great changes took place in my hometown last year. 去年我的家乡发生了巨大
的变化。
【经典练】
1．—Hi, Mary. You look tired. ________
—I missed the school bus so I had to run to school this morning.
A．What happened? B．What a pain! C．You’re joking. D．How about you?
2．In the past five years, great changes _________ in our hometown.
A．happened B．have happened C．took place D．have taken place
考点22.point out
22. ....I pointed it out to my friend, it went away. 我向朋友指出它时，它消失了。
point out意为＂指出，指明，表明＂，修饰的宾语为代词时放在point与out之间。
☞ Mother pointed out my mistakes. 妈妈指出了我的错误。
【知识拓展】
point at的意思是＂指向＂，相当于 point to，二者一般可互换。point to 指向较近之物。
point at指向较远之物，point 后可直接跟名词/代词作宾语，point...at...表示＂将……指向……
＂。☞ The teacher pointed to one of the pictures. 老师指着其中的一幅图片。
☞ She was pointing her finger at me. 她用手指指着我。
☞ He pointed his gun at the enemy. 他举枪对准了敌人。

An unforgettable thing 一件难忘的事---上学路上下大雨
An unforgettable thing I remember well happened on a rainy day. It was on my way home last Friday.
On that day, while I was making my way home as usual, all of a sudden, black clouds were making the
sky very dark. When it began to rain heavily, everyone on the road was busy getting out of the rain. I thought I
had an umbrella in my schoolbag, so I kept trying to look for it. However, I suddenly realized that my umbrella
was left in the classroom. So I had to wait for the rain to stop. Finally, I arrived at home one hour later. I took a
hot shower and ate some warm food. I felt so good to be home!
This event is unforgettable for me because it makes me understand that it's important to prepare in
advance and carry an umbrella with me.
