生劝我爸爸戒烟,但没成功。
advise; suggest advise 与 suggest 都可作“建议”讲,二者
用法有同有异。 (1)相同点 表示建议做某事,advise 与
suggest 都可采用下列三种句型: ① + 名词
② + 动名词
③ + that 从句(从句中常用 should 加动词原形,should 可
以省略。) eg. He advised/ suggested an early start.
He advised/ suggested (our) starting early.
He advised/ suggested that we (should) start early. (注:只要是
用从句表示建议该做的事,从句中就可用
“should+动词原形”,should 可以省略。)上面的第三句可
转化为:
It was suggested that we (should) start early.
What he suggested was that we(should) start early.
His suggestion was that we (should) start early.
(2)不同点

人称代词作宾语。故可以说:

on/ about sth.; suggest(to sb.)that...
前三种结构中不可将 advise 改为 suggest,如:他建议我们
去参观博物馆。
[正]He advised us to go to visit the museum.
[误]He suggested us to go to visit the museum.
[误]He suggested us that we go to visit the museum.
②suggest 还有“暗示、表明、说、指出(一个事实)”的
意思。此时从句中用陈述语气,不用虚拟语气。如:
The smile on his face suggested that he was pleased.
Having examined carefully, the doctor suggested that the
patient was seriously ill.(句中 suggest 陈述了一个事实,故
用陈述语气。)比较:
Having examined carefully, the doctor suggested that the
Patient be
operated on at once.(句中 suggest 表示建议该做某事,从句
中用 should 加动词原形,should 在从句中省略。)
affect(=have an effect on sth.)vt.影响(effect n.影响) This
may affect your health. 这或许会影响你的健康。
My throat is always affected by bad weather.我的嗓子总是受恶
劣天气的影响。

意,但其暗含意思和用法又各有不
同。从意义上
讲:

意思,如:

懂得很多。(其实懂得没有那么多)

如:

very sad today.

重量、形状可能各不相同,并由不同的金属制成。”

burst into tears
该动宾短语,理解的重点是不及物动词 burst 的意思及其
分词或副词连用的结构形式和意思。
burst 是及物动词或不及物动词,意为“(使)爆破”,
“胀破”。如:
①He put too much air into the balloon and it burst. ②The
funny joke made the children burst their sides with laughing.
burst 由原意引伸出表示空发性的动作,意为“突然发
生”, “突然发作”。常构成一些短语,如: burst into
tears/laughter(突然大哭/大笑) burst into song(突然唱起歌
来) burst into angry speech(大发雷庭) burst into

突
然出现 burst into the room(闯入房间) burst
out/forth laughing(捧腹大笑) burst out/forth
crying(突然大哭)如:On hearing the sad
news, she burst into tears. Busy be busy doing
sth.
该结构意为“忙于做某事”。应注意的是 be busy 后只
能接动词-ing 形式,不能接动词不定式 to do,相同结构
的形容词还有 worth。如:
①He is busy writing his composition.
②She keeps busy working on a new novel these weeks.
③This book is well worth seeing.
but prep. 除…之外。与 except 同义,除了的部分与其他
部分不在一个范围内,不具有一致性。except 适用场合

定代词的句子。
①No one except/but you was late.除你之外没有迟到。(你
迟到了)
②We all went to see a film yesterday evening except/but you.
除你之外作天晚上我们都去看电影了。(你没去)
③That window is open except in winter .除冬天外那窗户一
直开着。(冬天不开)另外,but 后可接不不定式。如果
17
句子前面有实义动词 do 及其变化形式时,不定式不带
to; 否则不定式带 to .
①I did nothing yesterday evening but watch TV.昨天晚上除看
电视外我什么也没干。
②He had no choice but to leave.他只得离开。注意:
besides 也是介词,意为“除……之外(还有)”。除了
的部分和其他部分在同一个范围内,具有一致性。
①We all went to see a film yesterday evening besides you.
除你之外昨天晚上我们也都去看电影了。(你和我们都
去了)
②Who is going there with Tom besides you? 除你之外还有谁
和汤姆一起去?
but for
该短语介词意为“要不是……”,后接名词(=without
+ n.),but for…短语相当于一个虚拟条件句,因此,句
中谓语动词用虚拟语气。如:
The boy would have drowned but for your help.
如果接的是句子,but for 要换用成 but that… 如:
He would have helped us but that he was short of money at
the time.(= if it had not been the fact that he was…)
Buy
“我的金项链花了 2500 元”有多种译法:
by prep. 乘……。用来表示方式,其后的名词为单数,且
不加冠词。
例
如
by
bike/bus/
car
/taxi/train//road/railway/land/boat/ship/ water/
sea/ plane/air 但:“步行”用 on foot.
注意:若表示交通工具的名词前有限定词,则将 by 改作
in 或 on.
in one’s/the car/ bus/plane etc. on the bike by
name
该介宾词组的意思是“名叫……”;“凭名字”。如:
①He met a man, John by name.
②I knew him only by name.
by one’s first marriage 通过或由于某人的第一次婚姻 介
词by 有许多含义,在此处意为“通过”,相当于through。
He left by the first train. 他乘第一次列车离开了。
The electricity supply is operated by a switch.供电由一个开关
控制。
by the age of/at the age of,by 到……时为止。表示的是一段
时间,句子通常用完成时态。

consider 是个很常用的动词,其意义不同,句型结构也不
同。我们在学习中要特别注意。(1)作“仔细考虑、深思
熟虑”解,consider 可作不及物动词或及物动词。
作及动词时,后可接名词、代词、动名词作宾语,不能接
动词不定式,但可以接疑问词+不定式,相当于宾语从句。
例如:
Consider carefully before you decide.你要慎重考虑后再做决
定。
They considered your suggestion.他们仔细考虑了你的建议。
He is considering studying abroad.他在考虑出国留学。
We are considering how to help them.我们在考虑如何帮助他
们。
(2)作“将……视为、认为、以为”解。
①可用 consider+名词+(to be)名词(形容词)或
consider+ 名词+as+名词(形容词)结构,但当不定式为行
为动词时,不能省略,不可用于进行时。这样用时相当于
that 引导宾语从句。例如:
He considers himself(to be)clever(=as clever).=He considers
that he is clever.他认为自己很聪明。
I consider him(to be)my closest friend(as my closest
friend).=I consider(that)he is my closest friend.我把他视为
我 亲密的朋友。
He is considered to have invented the first computer. 他被认为
是 早发明计算机的人。
②还可用于 consider+it(形式宾语)+形容词+不定式结构。
例如:
I consider it wrong for students to smoke.我认为学生抽烟是
不对的。
consider 的用法:①You should consider the question.你应该
考虑这个问题。
②跟从句
He began to consider when he would get married 他开始考虑
什么时侯结婚的事情。
③跟疑问词 + to do sth.
He is considering how to get there in time.他正想怎么能及时
赶到那儿。
④跟动名词
Who considers answering the question?谁正在考虑回答这
个问题? ⑤为……着
想
He always considers others before himself 他常先为别人着想。
⑥名词为:consideration(不可数) take sth.
into consideration 把……考虑在内
If you want to go on holidays in Beijing,you should take the
cost into consideration. 如果想到北京去度假,你应该考
虑费用问题。

invent; discover

create“创造、创作”,指产生出新的东西,其
对象往往是精神上的,如艺术、文学作品中的人物及新的
科学领域等。例如:

许多有名的人物。

东西,如工具、方法、手段、灯泡、汽车、电视、合成材
料等。例如:

new teaching method.他发明了一种的教学方法。
(3)
discover 指“发现或找到”某种自然界本来已存
在,但以前未被人类发现或认识的事物,如发现元素、
电、煤、石油、铁等矿藏以及新星、星系或科学真理等。
例如:

了一封未拆的信。

构,有以下用法: ①may/might + have + 过去分词表示推

词是现在时,间接引语中用 may/might; 句子的主要动词
是过去时,间接引语中只用 might.如:
He says that she may/might have misunderstood him.
He said that she might have misunderstood him.

并未发生的动作的感叹或遗憾含有“责备”、“抱怨”之
意,而 may + 完成时无此含义。如:

do sth.某人有必要做某事②It’s necessary that…有必
要……。注意:that 从句中谓语用 should + 动词原型,
should 可省略。另外:不能使用 sb. is necessary to do 结构,
因为通常是“某事或做某事有必要”,而非人有必要。误:
He is necessary to return home this afternoon. 正:It’s
necessary for him to return home this afternoon.

any longer 置于句末。上面的句子可分别改作:
①He don’t live here any longer.

longer.

在时为多,有时也用过去时或将来时;no more 指今后如
何,通常用将来时态。

no more than;not more than;no more...than;not more...than
no more than 意为“仅仅、只不过”,相当于 only。它与
数字连用时,意为“仅仅至多”,强调“少”,带有说话
者的感情色彩。如:
I am no more than a teacher.我只是个教师而已。
There were no more than two hospitals in this city before
liberation.解放前,这座城市里只有两家医院(表示很少)
not more than 后面接数词时,表示“不超过、 多”的意

着,声音是从厨房传来的。

句型。

I didn’t know the truth of it until the next day.
(2)倒装语序

Not until the next day did I know the truth of it.
(3)强调句型
It was not until the child fell asleep the mother left the room.
It was not until the next day that I knew the truth of it.
(4)注意事项
①在 not…until 句型中,主句中的动词均为短暂性动词,
如 leave,start 等。而在 until 的肯定句型中,主句的谓语动
词一定要用延续性动词,因为 until 作为连词和介词意为
up to the time when; up to“直到……时”。如:
②until 只连接表示时间的短语和从句,不能用于地点和数
量。如:
We walked until the edge of the forest.(误) Our
classroom can hold until fifty students.(误)
from time to time now and again means now and
then 时而 sometimes once in a while at times
now that; due to; because of; owing to; since; as
now that 作“既然”讲时,相当于 since。now that 中的
that 可省去。如:Now(that)you are well again, you can
travel, 你既然恢复了健康,就能够旅行了。
due to 作 “起因于、归功于”时,常作表语或跟在名词后,
如:

叶造成的错误可能带来严重后果。

出色的领导而受到人们的赞赏。
His anger is because of your bad deeds.他是因你的失礼行为
而生气。
owing to“由于、因为”,常在现代英语中与 because of,
due to 换用。如:
Owing to unfavourable weather, I was unable to carry on with
it.由于天气不好,我不能把它进行下去。
nowhere 放在句首,该句应使用倒装结构。
Nowhere is there a place for him to settle down.
类似的副词还有 hardly scarcely, no sooner,seldom, never,
little 等。
Of + n.(抽象句词)相当于该名词相应的形容词,在句
中可用作表语或补语。能用于该句型的名词有:help/
use/ value/ importance 等。其对应的形容词分别为:
helpful/ useful/ valuable/ important.

There are safety measures to follow while training.
该句意为“训练时必须遵守安全措施”,这句话里应注意两
点:
①while training 是从属连词与分词连用,在句子中做时间
状语。结构“when/while + -ing 或过去分词短语”的使用条
件是: when/while 从句中的主语与主句中的主语相同。如:
You should have dropped in on me when staying here.
除了 when/while 外,其他的从属连词如 if,as if, though, as
before,after 等,也有这样的用法。如:
If heated, ice can be turned into water.
②to follow 是不定式做定语,修饰名词 measures,是主动表被
动。在 There be 句型中,用不定式做的定语时,即就是不定
式与所修饰的名词之间是动宾关系,也常用不定式的主动语
态形式。如:
There is a lot of work to do.
there be 句型:①是一种倒装句式,be 后的主语要和 be 在数
上保持一致。如:
There is a pen, two books and some other things on the table. 桌上
有一支笔,两本书和一些其他的东西。
②there be 句型有完成式 there have(has)been;有将来式 there
is going to(will)be。
③there be 句型中可加情态动词。如:
I am sure there used to be a shop near here.我肯定在这附近以前
有家商店。
72
④there be 句型中有的 be,还可以用其他词表示“有、存
在”,
there live(一般跟人,有……一个人),there stand(指物,
树、高楼之类),there lie(物,如一片土地等)。如:
There stand many tall buildings in our school and there lies a
large wheat field in front of it.
我们学校里耸立着许多高楼,校门口是一大片麦田
there is no need…
need 在此为不可数名词,意为“需要”、“必须”,
使用时应该注意它使用的句式结构,即我们只能说
“There is no need for +n./(for sb.)to
do ...” 不
能说“It is no need (for sb.)to do sth.” There is sth.wrong
with...,......出问题了,出毛病了。相当于 sth.is wrong
with….
①—What’s wrong with you?你怎么了?
—There is something wrong with my back.我的背有点毛病。
②—Is there anything wrong with yous radio?你的收音机出
毛病了吗?
—Yes.It doesn’t work.是的,不响了。

印象好。

印象很好。
②Our work was well thought of.我肎的工作受到了高度评
价。
反义词组为:think poorly/little/nothing of
this/that kind of…
┉of this/that kind“葩种……” 析:this/that kind of 后
常用“单数名词”;而…of this/that
kind 前常用“复数名词”。即:
this/that kind of+单数名词=复数名词+of this/that kind 例:This
kind of car is made in China.(单数谓语动词)
= Cars of this kind are made in China.(复数谓语动词)
throughout; all over; all through 本组词都有“遍及、贯穿”
的意思,但所接名词不同。 throughout 后接表示时间和地
点等名词。如:
He worked throughout the night and the next day.他工作了整整
一夜和第二天一天。
The disease spread throughout the country.这种病蔓延全国。
all over 一般接表示地点的名词。如:

代;in one’s time 在某人那个时代;be ahead of one’ s time

找我。 up 的用法:adv.守全,彻底

该结构意为“一直到……为止”,谓动常用完成时态。

used to ;would; be used to
(1)used to 表示“过去惯常”,但“现在不做了”,指过
去的习惯或状态,to 为不定式符号,后跟动词原形。有
两点须注意:
①否定式。used to do sth.的否定式有两种形
式: used not (usedn’t)to do sth. didn’t use to
do sth.例如:
He didn’t use to (usedn’t to)like country music,but now
he is getting interested.
②疑问式。used to do sth.的疑问式也有两种形式。其简
短回答中的 to 通常不予省略,但动词原形常被省略。
Did + sb.(主语)+ use to do sth.?
Used + sb.(主语)+ to do sth.?
Did he use to play basketball?
Used he to play basketball?
(2)would(可以)是 will 的过去式,也可表示习惯动作。
①would 用于过去将来时。
过去将来时的基本形式是:would+动词原形,在英国英
语中,主语是第一人称时,would 可换做 should,第
二、三人称用 would。
I thought I would make lots of new friends.我曾认为我会
交上许多新朋友。 ②would 表示过去习惯的动作。
“would + 动词原形”表示过去的习惯动作,与 used to
同义,但与 used to 有别。Used to do 表示过去经常发
生的动作或存在的状态,同时隐含有“现在已经有所改变”
的意思,而“would+do sth.” 可以用来表示“过去经常发
生”,但不表示“过去存在的状态”。
She used to say“No pains,no gains”。
她过去常说:“不劳而获”。(used to 可以换为 would)
I used to live in the countryside.我过去住在农村。(此句的
used to 不可用 would 换用)(3)be used to 具有双重含义:
①be used to 是 use sth.to do sth 的被动形式,意为“被用来
干某事”,to 为不定式符号。例如:Rice may be used to make
wine.
②be used to 表示“习惯于……,”be 可以换为get 或become,
表示“开始、变得习惯于……”,to 为介词,其后接名词、
代词或动词作宾语。例如:
I’m used to English food.
very 当形容词用时,意思为“正是,恰好是……”如果有
定语从句则常用 that 引导。如:This is the very book(that)I’
m after.这正是我要找的书。 waste
It is a waste of time/money to do sth.干……浪费时间(钱)
It’s a waste of time to fix this watch.
watch over
该短语动词意为“照看”,“保护”,“监视”。如:
Will you watch over my clothes while I go shopping.
Watch out(for sth.)意为“注意”,“监视”,“当心”。如:
The doctor told her to watch out for anything unusual. way(s)后
的定语从句修饰 way(s)(方法,方式)的定语从句其关系词可
以用 in which,that 也可省略关系词,但不能直接使用 which.
如:I feel angry about the way(that)he has treated me./I feel
angry
about the way in which he has treated me.我对他对待我的方式感
到生气。
对比:He found a way that/which led to success.(way 在从句中
作主语) 他找到了一条通往成功的路。

②when 意为“当……的时候”,“在……时”,引导时间状
语从句。
③when 是并列连词(=and then)意为“就在这/那时”,连

①传来消息说中国女子足球队获亚军。
_______ ________ _______the Chinese Women Football Team
had won second place.
②我听说他们昨晚相互争吵起来。
I________ _________ that they_________ _________with each
other last night. work on/ work at
work on 与 work at 可通用,表示“忙于……”。但在 work
on sth.中,sth 是 work 的具体对象;而在 work at sth.中,
sth. 只说明所从事工作的性质,即时间、精力用在某一方面
的事情上,而不在于说明正在做什么。如:
He is working on/ at a novel.他正在专心写一部小说。
They have worked at this subject for many years.他们从事这项课
题的研究已经好多年了。
Bob worked hard on organizing other singers to sing for him for
free.鲍勃积极地组织其他歌唱家为他义务演唱。 work out 算
出;解决。
①Can you work out how much money it will need?你能算
出需多少钱吗?

8.take sides(in)袒护;站在……一边。
①They took the side of their child.他们袒护自己的孩子。
②She has taken sides in the quarrel.她参与了争吵。
Worth be worth doing = be(well)worthy of being done / to be
done(很)值得做
The city is worth visiting.这个城市值得参观。
(= The city is worthy of being visited. = The city is worthy to
be visited.) worth; worthy
两者均是形容词,意思是“值得……的”,用法如下:
(1)worthy 可以作定语,worth 不能。例如: a worthy rival
值得较量的对手
(2)worth 后面直接跟名词(多为表示钱或代价的名词),
其作用相当于介词;worthy 后面接名词时须与 of 连用
(一般不接表示钱的名词)。例如:This second-hand
book is worth 100 dollars.这本旧书值 100 美元。 His
deed is worthy of praise.他的事迹值得赞扬。
(3)worth 后面可直接跟动名词的主动结构;worthy 后接动
名词的被动结构,且须与 of 连用,worthy 后也可接不
定式的被动式。例如:
This book is worth reading./ This book is worthy of being read./
This book is worthy to be read.这本书值得一读。
The city is worth visiting./The city is worthy to be visited./
The city is worthy of being visited.
(4)表示“很值得”,通常用 well 修饰,而不用 very。
例如:
The film is well worth seeing.这部电影很值得一看。
77
would like 想要;愿意;希望。用来表示愿望,常用结构:
(1)would like sth.
Would you like some beer?想喝点啤酒吗?
(2)would like to do sth.愿意、想要做某事。第一人称
作主语时也可用 should,用常用缩写形式。
①He’d like to go there but he is too busy.他想到那里去,
但太忙了 。
②I would/should like to study medicine and become a
doctor.我想学医当医生。注意:回答时常用省略形
式。
—Would you like to drink some beer? 想喝点啤酒吗? —
Yes ,I’d like to .好吧,喝点。
(3)would like sb.to do sth.想要、希望别人做某事。并不是
主语做。
①I would like her to stay in the company.我希望她留在公
司里。
②I’d like you to lend some money to him.我想要你借点
钱给他。
would like; should like
(1)两个短语均指“想要……”,与 want 同义,但
would(should)like 的语气较 want 婉转或客气。
(2)would like 可用于各种人称;而 should like 则主要用
于第一人称。例如:
He would(不用 should)like to be a doctor.他希望当大夫。
We would(不用 should)like to hear your views about it.我们
想听听你对这个问题的看法。
(3)在疑问句中常用 would like,而不用 should like。例如:
What would you like for breakfast?你早饭想吃什么?
(4)这两个短语常常简略为’d like,后面可接名词、代词
或动词不定式,不接动名词。例如:
Would you like to leave a message?你要不要留话?误:
Would you like leaving a message?
(5)在省略回答中,would like to 中的 to 不可省略,只省
略 to 后面的词语(但 be 除外)。例如:
①—Would you like to join us tonigh?
—Oh, I’d like to (join you),but I have a friend to see off at the
station.
② —Would you like to be a singer?
—Yes,I’d like to be (a singer). would say 总是会说……
would 有过去、常常……之意,但它与 used to 的用法
不相同的。
①表示过去持续的状态或感情总是used to 而不是would。
因此,would 不与表示状态的动词连用。
There used to be a hospital/here.(√) 这里过去有一所医院。
There would be…(×)
②used to 和 would 都可以表示过去规则的行为,但通常
would 是在过去不大规则的行为时,或主语的关心、感慨
等主观因素较强时使用,而 used to 则在客观地陈述相当期
间的规则行为时使用。
“I’ll leave this job for a better one”,he would say when he was
scolded by his boss.
③“would”常与“often,sometimes,for hours”等表示时间的
副词(短语)连用。 ④与现在或将来比较而表示“以前经
常……”的意思时,用 used to。
He will not have the money to spend on books as he used to.

“一……就……”英语表达法
79
On his arrival he was sold to farmer and worked in the fields.
他一到就被卖给一个农场主,开始在田里劳动。
The moment he reached the country,he started his search.他
一到那个国家,就开始寻找。
以上例句中的 On his arrival 和 The moment 均含
“一…… 就……”“刚……就……”之意。下面就该
意义的四种表达方式予以归纳。
(1)as soon as 归纳:
①as soon as 引出的时间状语从句既可以放在主句之前,
也可放在主句之后,表示它所指的动作发生在另一分句
所指的动作之前。
②as soon as 可以与动词的一般现在时,一般过去时或完
成时态连用,主句的动词使用相应的动词现在时,过去
时或将来时。如:
He started as soon as he received the news. 他一得到消息就
出发了。
As soon as he had got into the car, I said“good morning”to
him in French and he replied in the same language. 他一上
车,我就用法语向他道了声早安,他也用法语作了回
答。
(2)hardly/scarcely/barely…when/before…no
sooner…
than…归纳:
①注意搭配关系;hardly/scarcely/barely 和 no sooner 不
可以放在 when/before 和 than 之后。
②hardly/scarcely/barely 和 no sooner 否定词位于句首时,
句中的主语和谓语必须部分倒装。
③hardly/scarcely/barely 和 no sooner 引导的是主句,表
示它的动作发生在从句之前,故常用过去完成时;而
when/before 和 than 引导的从句只能与一般过去时连
用。 ④该句型含“惊奇”之意。如:
Mrs Winthrop had no sooner left the room than they began to
gossip about her.温思罗太太刚离开房间,他们就议论起
她来了。
Scarcely/Hardly/Barely had he begun to speak when I
sensed that he was in trouble. 他刚一开口,我就感到他
遇到麻烦事了。
No sooner had we set out than a thunderstorm broke.我们一
动身就遇上了大雷雨。
(3)the moment/the instant 归纳:名词短语 the
moment/instant/minute/second 和副词
immediately/
directly 可以用做连词,相当于 as soon as,引导的是时间
状语从句;从句既可放在句首,也可放在句中。如:
The moment I saw him, I knew that there was no hope.一见到他,
我就知道没希望了。
The instant you leave this tent, you will get a big surprise. 你一出
账篷,便会大吃一惊。
We will leave the minute you’re ready.你一准备好,我们就走。
She returned immediately she heard the bad news.她一听到这个
坏消息,就返了回来。
I left directly the clock struck twelve.钟一敲十二点我就离开了。
(4)on + 动名词(或表示动作的名词)归纳:动名词(或名
词)结构表示它所表达的动作刚一发生或完成,句子谓语所
表示的动作就接着发生。它相当于 as soon as 引导的时间状
语从句。如:
On arriving in England, they were taken to the Grystal
Palace by train.他们一到英国便乘火车去水晶宫。
On his return from Europe, he set to work in earnest.他一从欧洲
回来,便开始认真工作。
He was greeted by the Prime Minister on his arrival at the airport.
他一到机场,便受到总理的欢迎。
另外,each time, every time 如同上面四种类型一样,可直接
用作从属连词,引导状语从句。如:
Every time I listen to his advice, I get into trouble. 我每次听了他
的劝告,都会遇到麻烦。
I’ll think of my hometown each time I listen to that song.我每次
听这首歌,都会想起家乡。
引 导 从 句 的 词 常 有 :
when/while/whenever/before/after/until/till/ 和 if/unless/though,
但简化必须符合下面两个条件。
(1)当从句与主句主语一致,且从句谓语有 be 的某种形式
时,常可以把从句的主语及 be 省略掉。
①Be careful when(you are) crossing the street 过马路的时候要
小心。
②While (he was)walking along the sands.Crusoe saw some
footprints in the sand.克鲁索沿沙滩走着的时候,看到沙子上
有些脚印。
③I won’t go to her party unless(I am) invited.要是不受到邀请,
我就不去参加她的宴会。
④He knows many things though(he is)very young.他年龄不大,
但知道的事不少。
(2)当从句为 it is + adj.时,也常将 it is 省略掉。
①When (it is)possible,I’ll go to Beijing to see you.可能的时候,
我将去北京看你。
80
②If (it is)necessary, I’ll come tomorrow.必要的话,明天
我就来。
