c. 表示稍后一点儿的安排

我的任务在7 月结束,之后我会回上海。
三、完成时
完成时是用来表示动作的完成与未完成的情况。完成时包括现在完成时、过去完成时和
将来完成时。
A.现在完成时
1 .现在完成时的构成
现在完成时的构成形式是“have / has + 过去分词”。现在完成时常被称为“与现在有联
系的过去”,因此它不能与明确的过去时间状语连用。
Someone has broken the window.
有人把窗户打破了。
I haven't seen much of her lately.
我最近不常见到她。
How long have they been married?
他们结婚多长时间了?
2.现在完成时的用法
①表示结果的现在完成时
现在完成时着眼于过去的动作对现在产生的结果或影响。这是现在完成时的“已完成”
用法,表示动作或过程发生在说话之前就已完成,并与现在有联系。这种联系实际上就是
“过去的动作”对现在的影响或产生的结果。
I have bought a pen.
我买了一支笔。(结果:I have a pen now.)
The temperature has increased by 10 ℃.
温度上升了10 摄氏度。(结果:It is quite hot now.)
Air pollution has taken the lives of many people.
空气污染已经夺去了很多人的生命。(结果:Air pollution is very serious now.)
注意:
现在完成时的上下文所指的时态必须呼应。
【误】I have bought a pen but I have lost it now.(have bought 表示你现在已经有笔了,
这和后面的have lost 有矛盾)
【正】I bought a pen but I have lost it now.
我(过去)买了一支笔,但我已经把它丢了。
【误】I have lost my pen but I have found it now. (have lost 强调你现在已经没有笔了,
与后面have found 的意思有冲突)
【正】I lost my pen but I have found it now.
我丢了一支笔,但现在已经找到了。
②表示经历的现在完成时
强调过去某一时刻到说话时这段时间中的经历。
Have you ever been to the Great Wall?
你去过长城吗?
I have visited Beijing at least ten times.
北京我至少访问过十次了。
She has never spent a holiday at the seaside.
她从未到海滨度过假。
1
③表示延续的现在完成时
这是现在完成时的“未完成”用法,表示一个动作或状态从过去某时开始,持续到现在,
可能要继续下去。
He's loved fishing for a long time.
他爱好钓鱼为时已久。(他现在仍爱好钓鱼)
I have lived here for more than thirty years.
我已在这儿住了三十多年了。(也许还会继续住下去)
注意:
现在完成时的“未完成”用法既可用于动态动词(主要是持续动词),也可用于状态动词,
但它一般不适用于表示短暂动作或位置转移的动词,如:open, break, go, come, arrive, leave
等。如用这类动词表示“未完成”,通常只限于否定结构。
I haven't seen a film for weeks.
我已经好几个星期没看电影了。
She hasn't written to me since September.
自从9 月份以来她还没给我写过信呢。
3.现在完成时的时间状语
①与现在完成时“已完成”用法连用的时间状语
现在完成时表示的动作或状态发生在现在时间以前的某个未明确指出的过去时间内,和
它连用的时间状语要与现在时间有关,不能是明确地表示过去的时间状语。
a. 不确定的过去时间状语:already, yet, before, recently, lately 等
I've seen the film before.
我以前看过这部电影。
Have you been there lately?
近来你去过那里吗?
b. 频度时间状语:often, sometimes, ever, never, once, rarely 等
We have never heard of that.
我们从未听说过这事。
He has sometimes played tennis.
他有时打网球。
Big Ben has rarely gone wrong.
大本钟很少出差错。
c. 包含现在时间在内的时间状语:now, just, today, this morning, this week, this year 等
I have just finished the letter now.
我现在刚写完信。
You have just missed the bus.
你刚好错过公共汽车。
Has he done much work today?
他今天做了很多工作吗?
比较:already 和yet 用法上的区别
already 常用于肯定句,置于句中。yet 常用于否定句和疑问句,置于句末。但already 有
时也可用在疑问句中暗示惊讶的心情。
She has already gone.
她早就走了。
Have you eaten your dinner already?
你已经吃过饭了?
He has not come yet.
他还没有来。
②与现在完成时“未完成”用法连用的时间状语
与“已完成”用法一样,表示具体的过去的时间状语不能与“未完成”用法连用。与其
连用的往往是指一段时间的状语以具体表示某一动作或状态持续了多久。
a. since + 具体时间,表示动作或状态从何时开始
Since then, he has developed another bad habit.
自那以后他养成了另一个坏习惯。
1

successfully. 在过去的几年中他们已经和好几家跨国公司做成了生意。
e. all the while, all day 一直,一整天
She has been busy all day.
她忙了一整天。
4.现在完成时和一般过去时的区别
①两者都可表示过去发生过的动作,但前者表示的是过去的动作对现在的影响,而后者
则只是表示过去有这一动作的事实。
He locked the door.
他锁过门。(但现在门是开是锁不清楚。)
He has locked the door.
他把门锁上了。(现在门是锁着的。)
Who turned on the light?
谁开的灯?(着眼开灯的动作,不管现在灯是开是关。)
Who has turned on the light?
谁把灯打开了?(着眼开灯的结果,即现在灯还亮着。)
②两者都可表示过去开始并延续了一段时间的动作,现在完成时表示该动作仍在继续,
而一般过去时则说明该动作现已终止。
He has lived in Beijing for four years.
他在北京住了四年了。(现在仍住那儿)
He lived in Beijing for four years.
他曾在北京住了四年。(现在不住那儿了)
B.过去完成时
过去完成时的动作须在过去某一时间之前发生,即发生在“过去的过去”。

导的时间状语或以before, until, when, than 等词引导的内含一般过去时的时间状语从句。

我在进大学之前就已学了5000 个单词。
It rained yesterday after it had been dry for many months.
旱了好几个月之后,昨天下雨了。
注意:
在包含before 和after 的复合句中,因为从句动作和主句动作发生的先后顺序已经非常明
确,可以用一般过去时代替过去完成时。
The train (had) started before I reached the station.
在我到达车站之前,列车已经开了。
After he (had) arrived in England, Marx worked hard to improve his English.
马克思到达英格兰之后,努力提高他的英语水平。

件句以及wish, as if 引导的从句中。

要是她努力的话,她就会成功了。(事实上她没努力,也没成功。)

“刚刚……就……”。

他刚开始演讲,听众就打断了他。
No sooner had he arrived than he went away again.

提示:
intend, mean, hope, want, plan, suppose, expect, think
等动词的过去完成时可以用来表示
一个本来打算做而未做的事。
I had meant to come, but something happened.
我原本打算来的,但有事发生了。
I had intended to call on you, but was prevented from doing so.
我本打算去看你的,但没能去成。
They had wanted to help but couldn't get here in time.
他们原想帮忙的,但没能及时赶到这里。
3.过去完成时与一般过去时的比较
一般过去时表示过去时间的动作或状态。过去完成时表示的动作或状态发生在一般过去
时表示的动作或状态之前,因此它表示的是“比过去更过去”。
1

我已归还了我借的书。

第二章 被动语态(一)
语态也是动词的一种形式,表示主语与谓语之间的关系。英语有两种语态:主动语态

作执行者可以由介词by 引出的短语表示。助动词be 随主语的人称、数、时态和语气的不

口语中,强调动作的结果。

二、被动语态的用法
英语中,大多数情况下用主动语态比较简练、有力。但是,被动语态也有其特殊的用途,
它也是表达思想、描述事物的需要。人们通常在下列情况下使用被动语态:
A. 不知道或不必说出动作的执行者
How is this word pronounced 这个单词怎么发音?
Scientists say that work is done whenever a force moves. 科学家们说,力移动时就
做了功。
A greater number of magic English books will be published next year. 明年将有更
多的魔法英语书出版。

B. 强调动作的承受者

(强调you)

校。(强调a new Hope School)

D. 修辞的需要,为了使句子更加简练、匀称

他出现在
舞台上,受到了观众的热烈鼓掌。
The old professor gave a lecture on American history and was well received. 这位
老教授作了一个有关美国历史的讲座,受到大家的热烈欢迎。
I was shown round the school campus by Sean, who had entered the school just
a year before. 肖恩带我参观了校园,他去年刚进这所学校。

你已被多次告知不要
犯同样的错误。
Everybody is expected to obey the following rules. 希望大家遵守以下规定。

F. 科技文献中为了客观地描述事情及其过程

H .有些动词习惯上常用被动语态
He was born in this city. 他出生在这个城市。
The school is situated in the suburbs. 这所学校位于郊外。
2
注意:
被动语态中的by 短语通常可以省去。但如果by 短语是句子的重点所在,或者没有by
短语全句的意思不完整时,则要保留by 短语。
The vegetables didn't taste very good. They had been cooked too long.
蔬菜的味
道不好,烧的时间太长了。(不需要动作的执行者)
He arrived at the airport, where he was met by his friend. 他到达了机场并受到朋友
的迎接。(没有by his friend,句子的意思不完整)
Everybody was cast down by such news as that. 大家都被那种消息搞得很沮丧。
(需
要by 短语)
三、主动语态变被动语态
中国人的思维的着眼点在动作的施动者,英美人思维的着眼点在动作的承受者。
中国人常这样说:I expect you to be there on time. 我希望你准时到那里。
英美人常这样说:You are expected to be there on time. 希望你准时到那里。
这就是英语中被动语态的使用比汉语中多的原因。由于英语句子的主动语态结构不同,
因而变成被动语态的方式也各不相同。
A. 主语 + 谓语 + 宾语
“主语 + 谓语 + 宾语”结构中只有一个宾语,变为被动语态时,将宾语变为主语:
They will discuss the plan at the meeting. 他们将在会议上讨论这个问题。
-- The plan will be discussed at the meeting. 这个问题将在会议上讨论。
In the past the king possessed great wealth. 过去国王拥有巨大的财富。
n In the past great wealth was possessed by the king. 过去,巨大的财富为国
王所拥有。
B. 主语+谓语+间接宾语+直接宾语
在这个句型中,谓语动词跟有两个宾语。变成被动语态时,一般将通常指人的间接宾语
转化成主语,但有时也可将指物的间接宾语转化成主语:
We gave the student some books. 我们给了这个学生几本书。
-- The student was given some books. 这个学生被给了几本书。
-- Some books were given to the student. 几本书被给了这个学生。
His father bought him a computer last week. 上周他父亲给他买了一台电脑。
-- He was bought a computer by his father last week.
上周他父亲给他买了一台电
脑。
-- A computer was bought for him by his father last week. 上周他父亲给他买了一台
电脑。
注意:用直接宾语作被动语态的主语时,通常要在间接宾语前加上适当的介词(如to, for,
of 等),以加强间接宾语的语气。
They awarded him the Nobel Prize. 他们授予他诺贝尔奖。
-- The Nobel Prize was awarded (to)him. 诺贝尔奖被授予给他。
The host had caught us some fish. 主人给我们捉了一些鱼。
Some fish had been caught for us by the host.
主人给我们捉了一些鱼。(for 不可
省)
C.
主语+谓语+宾语+宾语补足语
在这个句型中,谓语动词后有一个宾语和一个宾语补足语,变成被动语态时,宾语转化
成主语,宾语补足语也随之变为主语补足语:
All the villagers painted the houses white. 所有村民都把房子涂成了白色。
-- The houses were painted white by all the villagers. 房子都被所有的村民都涂成了
白色。
They kept us waiting for a long time. 他们让我们等了很长时间。
-- We were kept waiting for a long time. 我们等了很长时间。
We regarded him as the best doctor in town. 我们认为他是城里最好的医生。
-- He was regarded as the best doctor in town. 他被认为是城里最好的医生。
注意:
2
有些使役动词和感官动词,如make, see, hear, watch, notice, observe, listen to等,在
主动结构中跟不带to 的动词不定式作宾语补足语,在变为被动结构时,不定式应加上to。
We heard him say good-bye to his friends. 我们听见他向朋友们道别。
He was heard to say good-bye to his friends. 他被听到向朋友们道别。
D. 含有情态动词的主动句变被动句
含有情态动词的谓语变成被动语态时,用“情态动词+ be done”构成。
情态动词
cancould
maymight
must
havehad to
willwould
shallshould
ought to
主动形式
cancould do
maymight do
must do
havehad to do
willwould do
shallshould do
ought to do
被动形式
cancould be done
maymight be done
must be done
havehad to be done
willwould be done
shallshould be done
ought to be done
The machine must be operated with care. 这机器必须小心操作。
Such a sentence ought not to be used here. 这个句子不应该用在这里。
What's done cannot be undone. 覆水难收。
People had to be reminded of the danger that night.
那天晚上必须提醒人们当心危
险。
E. 含有“be going to do”和“be to do”等结构的主动句变被动句
含有“be going to do
和 be to do 等结构的谓语动词,变成被动语态时,分别用“be
going to + be done ”和“be to + be done ”。在这两种结构中,be 只有一般现在时和一般
过去时两种形式。
The problem is going to be discussed at the meeting. 这个问题将在会上讨论。
This new film is to be shown on TV next week. 这部新片下周将在电视上放映。
F.含有宾语从句的主动句变被动句
带有宾语从句的句子变成被动语态时,通常用it 来作为被动句的形式主语,宾语从句保
留不变。
They said that he had gone abroad to study English. 他们说他出国学英语去了。
-- It was said that he had gone abroad to study English. 据说他出国学英语去了。
We haven't decided when we should go camping. 我们还未决定什么时候去野营。
-- It hasn't been decided when we should go camping. 什么时候去野营尚未决定。
提示:
带有宾语从句的句子变成被动语态时,为了简练,还可把从句的主语变为被动句的主语,
从句的谓语部分还可以变为不定式短语。
We believed that he would succeed. 我们相信他会成功。
-- He was believed to succeed. 人们相信他会成功。
2
Father expected that I should become an engineer. 父亲希望我成为工程师。
-- I was expected (by my father) to become an engineer. (父亲)希望我成为工程师。
G .祈使句的被动语态
肯定的祈使句的被动语态结构是:Let + 宾语 + be + 过去分词;否定的祈使句的被动语
态结构是:Don't + let + 宾语 + be + 过去分词(或Let + 宾语 + not + be + 过去分词)。
Move the desks into the corridor.
-- Let the desks be moved into the corridor. 把课桌搬到走廊去。
Don't trust her.
-- Don't let her be trusted.
-- Let her not be trusted. 不要相信她。
H. 动词短语构成的被动语态
一般情况下,只有及物动词才能跟宾语,而不及物动词不能跟宾语,所以只有及物动词
才有被动语态,不及物动词则没有被动语态。但有些不及物动词后面跟上介词或副词后,
变成一个动词短语,相当于一个及物动词,因此就可以有被动语态。
The nurses in this hospital look after the patients very well.
-- The patients are well looked after by the nurses in this hospital. 病人在这所医院
里被护士们照料得很周到。
They have put off the meeting till next Saturday.
-- The meeting has been put off till next Saturday. 会议已推迟到下周六了。
注意:
在使用被动语态时,千万不要遗漏句末的介词或副词。
Such a bad habit should be got rid of. 这样的坏习惯应该改掉。
All the important matters have now been attended to.
所有重要的事情都得到了处
理。
I. 双重被动结构
双重被动结构指的是句中谓语动词和其后的不定式均为被动结构,句子的主语既是谓语
动词的承受者,同时又是不定式动作的承受者。
They asked us to discuss the problem at once.
-- We were asked to discuss the problem at once.
-- The problem was asked to be discussed at once.
这个问题被要求立刻讨论。(双
重被动)

The table was covered with a cloth. 桌子上铺着一块布。
K .不能变为被动语态的结构
1 .受动词的限制
①表示状态的及物动词,只能用于主动语态。
某些表示状态的及物动词,如have, own, cost, lack, want ( 缺乏), become (适合), fit,

昨天她得了重
2
感冒,现在好多了。
③当动词get,take 表示“懂得”、“知道”,owe 表示“欠”,cost 表示“使失去(生命、健
康等)”的意思时,动词没有相应的被动语态。
Do you get me 你明白我的意思吗?
How do you take this passage 这段话你怎么理解?
I owe 50 pounds to you. 我欠你五十英镑。
His careless driving cost his life. 他粗心的驾驶使他丧了命。
2 .受宾语的限制
①当宾语是相互代词、反身代词或具有类似相互代词的关系时,动词不能用于被动语态
形式。
They simply cannot contain themselves for joy. 他们简直无法抑制内心的喜悦。
He absented himself from a meeting yesterday. 他昨天缺席会议了。

自己的眼睛。
The doctor shook his head and then went out without any words. 医生摇了摇头,
一句话也没说就出去了。
注意:
动词的宾语是身体的一部分,一般不可变为被动语态,但也有例外。

-- His eyes were fixed on the oil painting. 他的两眼注视着这幅油画。
③当宾语起状语作用,表示数量、重量、大小或程度时,不能用被动语态。

四、被动语态与系表结构
所谓系表结构,在此指“连系动词+用作表语的动词-ed 形式”结构。它与被动语态的形式
完全一样,所以在应用时应注意它们的区别。
A. 被动语态中的过去分词是动词,多强调动作;系表结构中的过去分词相当于形容词,
多强调状态。前者通常可用by+人或by+抽象名词表动作的执行者,而后者则一般不用。
The gate to the garden was locked by the girl. 花园门被那个女孩锁上了。
(被动结构)
The gate to the garden was locked. 花园门锁了。(系表结构)
The tree was blown down by the high winds. 那棵树被大风吹倒了。(被动结构)
The tree was blown down when we saw it. 我们看到那棵树时,它已经被吹倒了。(系
表结构)
注意:
少数“连系动词be + 用作表语的动词-ed 形式”也带by 短语。
The old man was surrounded by small children. 老人被孩子们团团围住。
(被动语态)
Guilin is surrounded by hills and mountains. 桂林周围都是山。(系表结构)
We were held up by fog. 我们因雾受阻。(被动语态)

时态。
The composition is well written. 这篇作文写得很好。(系表结构)
The composition is being written. 这篇作文正在写。(被动语态)
C. 系表结构中的过去分词可被very, too, so 修饰,被动语态中的过去分词须用much
修饰。
The boy was too frightened to move. 这孩子吓得动也不敢动。(系表结构)
He was very excited. 他很激动。(系表结构)
He was much excited by the news. 他听到消息后很激动。(被动结构)
D. be + 不及物动词的过去分词通常是系表结构。
Her money is all gone. 她的钱都花光了。
The honoured guests are arrived. 贵宾们到了。
The moon is risen. 月亮升起来了。
She is grown up. 她长大了。
The leaves are fallen. 树叶落了。

The classroom was crowded with pupils. 教室里挤满了学生。
The lake is dotted with fishing boats. 湖里渔帆点点。
The floor was piled with old books. 地板上堆满了旧书。
F. remain, feel, lie, stand 以及 become, grow 等词 + 过去分词结构多为系表结构。

G. 句中有时间状语和地点状语时,一般为被动语态,反之为系表结构。
2

The bank is usually closed at six. 银行通常六点关门。(被动语态)
He is married. 他结婚了。(系表结构)
五、主动形式表示被动意义
英语中有些结构形式上是主动的,而表达的意义却是被动的。
A .某些不及物动词的被动意义
英语中一般只有及物动词才用于被动语态,不及物动词不用于这种结构。但有些时候,
某些不及物动词,其主动形式含有被动的意义。
When did the accident occur 事故是什么时候发生的?
Ice-cream always goes well in hot weather. 冰淇淋在暑天销路好。
Does life exist on the moon 月球上存在着生命吗?
B .一些表示“开始”、“结束”意思的动词
Class begins at eight. 八点钟开始上课。
The meeting ended up with warm applause. 会议在热烈的掌声中结束了。
C .一些表示“运转”意义的动词
The machine runs well. 机器运转良好。
His voice records well. 他的音录下来很好。
D .当read, write, translate 等动词与表示行为方式的状语连用时
动词read, write, translate, act, add, wash, wear, cook, lock, sell, tear, cut, keep,
feel, burn, strike, last 等常和表示行为方式的状语连用,表示被动意义。这些动词既是及
物动词又是不及物动词。当主语是人时,是及物动词;当主语是物时,是不及物动词,即
用主动形式表示被动意义。
The book sells well. 这书的销路很好。
My pen writes smoothly. 我的笔很好写。
The play reads more easily than acts. 这剧本易读不易演。
提示:
这些动词常和情态动词(多半是否定式)连用,表示被动。
His car can't move. 他的车不能开了。
E .表示状态特征的连系动词的被动意义
有些表示状态特征的连系动词,如look, smell, taste, sound, prove, appear, turn out
等主动形式表示被动意义。
Good medicine tastes bitter. 良药苦口。
What he said proved to be correct. 他的话证明是正确的。
The flowers smell sweet. 这些花闻起来很香。
Your sentence doesn't sound right. 你这话听起来不大对头。
F .一些动词的进行时态可以表示一个被动的动作
The meat is cooking. 肉正在烧。
The book is printing.
这本书正在印刷之中。
G .有些作表语的不定式,在结构上是主动的,但在意义上却是被动的
She is to blame. 她应该受到责备。
The house is to let. 此房出租。
六、被动形式表示主动意义
英语的被动形式表示主动的意义,主要见于状态被动语态句中。一般说来有以下几种情
况。
A .反身动词的被动形式表示主动意义
反身动词(及物动词+反身代词)作谓语时,其宾语反身代词,表示动作返回到执行者本
身,主语既是动作的执行者,又是动作的承受者。由于反身动词具有这一特点,在被动结
构中动作的承受者,也就是动作的执行者,在句中表现出主动的意义。
He seats himself at the back of the classroom. 他坐在教室的后面。
-- He is seated at the back of the classroom. 他坐在教室的后面。
He lost himself in the forest.
3
-- He was lost in the forest. 他在森林中迷了路。
He dressed himself in a dark blue suit.
-- He was dressed in a dark blue suit. 他穿着一套深蓝色的衣服。
注意:
有些介词短语作定语或表语时,也有被动的含义。
The tall building under repair is an office building.
正在修建的那座高楼是一座办公楼。
The result is nnow under consideration.
结果现在正在考虑中。
个别介词短语用冠词时表示被动的意义,不用冠词表示主动意义。
The children are in the charge of this nurse.
孩子们由这位护士照管。
This nurse is in charge og the children.
这位护士负责照看孩子们。
B .“引起……感情”等动词的被动形式表主动意义

He was tired with playing all day. 玩了一整天他感到很疲倦了。

数百个士兵驻扎在监狱周
围。
The village is located at the foot of a hill. 这个村庄坐落在山脚下。
D .不及物动词的-ed 形式与be 连用表示主动意义
Spring is come. 春天来了。
The moon was set and it was very dark. 月亮落了,天很黑。
He is advanced in years. 他年纪很大了。
E .表示终止动词的-ed 形式
He is done with it. 他做完了这件事。

第三章虚拟语气
虚拟语气(the subjunctive mood ),又称假设语气,是谓语动词的一种形式,表示说话
人叙述的内容与事实相反,在现实中并不存在,或实现的可能性很小。
一、动词的语气
语气用来区别讲话人对某一行为或事情的看法和态度。英语中的语气(mood)有三种,分
别是陈述语气、祈使语气和虚拟语气。
1.陈述语气
陈述语气一般用来叙述事实或就事实提出询问,主要用于陈述句、疑问句和某些感叹句。
Where there is a will, there's a way. 有志者事竟成。
Can you help me carry the box upstairs 你能帮我把箱子搬到楼上吗?
How I missed the life in the countryside! 我多么想念乡村的生活啊!
2.祈使语气
祈使语气表示说话人向对方提出请求或下达命令。
Come this way, please! 请这边走。
Don't make any noise, will you 别吵,行吗?
Do be careful when crossing the street. 过马路时一定要小心。
3.虚拟语气
虚拟语气表示动作或状态不是客观存在的事实,而是说话人的主观愿望、假设或推测等。
If I were a bird, I could fly in the air. 如果我是一只小鸟,我就能在空中飞行。
I wish it were spring all the year round. 但愿四季如春。
May good luck be yours! 祝你好运!
二、条件句中的虚拟语气
英语中条件从句有两类,一类是真实条件句,另一类是非真实条件句。如果假设的情况可
能发生,是真实条件句;如果假设的情况是不存在的或不大可能发生的,则是虚拟条件句。
A.真实条件句
真实条件句表示的假设是可能发生或实现的,主句和从句的谓语动词都要用陈述语气。
If he doesn't come at 8, we won't wait for him. 如果他八点不来,我们就不等他了。
If a flood happened in the past, there was usually a great loss of life and property.
过去
发生洪水的话,常有很大的生命和财产损失。
We shall go there unless it rains tomorrow. 如果明天不下雨,我们将去那里。
I'll let you use my bike on condition that you keep it clean. 如果你能保持车子干净,我就让
你用我的自行车。
B.非真实条件句
在含有非真实条件句的复合句中,主句和从句的谓语动词都要用虚拟语气,其构成有三
3
种形式:
与现在事实相反 if 条件句的谓语:were did
主句的谓:would (couldshouldmight) + do
与过去事实相反 if 条件句的谓语:had done
主句的谓:would(couldshouldmight) + have done
与将来事实相反 if 条件句的谓语:didwere
主句的谓:should do would (couldshouldmight) + do were to do
1 .表示与现在事实相反的条件
条件从句用动词的过去式(be 动词用were),主句用should(第一人称)或would(全
部人称)+动词原形。可用情态动词could, might 代替should, would 表示情态。
If it were Sunday tomorrow, I would go and see my friends. 明天要是星期天的话,我就去
看望我的朋友。
If I were you, I should go and try. 我要是你,我就去试试。
If wishes were horses, beggars might ride.
如果幻想能成为马匹,叫花子都有了坐骑
would go if they treated me like a slave.要是他们把我当奴隶对待,我就走。
2.表示与过去事实相反的条件
条件从句用动词的过去完成时,主句用should(第一人称)或would(全部人称)+have
done,也可用could, might 代替should, would。
If I had known your telephone number yesterday, I would have telephoned you.
如果昨天
我知道你的电话号码,我就给你打电话了。
If it had not rained this morning, I should have gone shopping. 今天早上要是没下雨,我就
去买东西了。
The flood might
have caused great damages to the people if we had not built so many
reservoirs.倘若我们没有修建这么多的水库,洪水就会使人民遭受巨大的损失。
3.表示在将来不太可能实现的条件
表示在将来不太可能实现的条件从句有三种形式:
①weredid
条件从句用动词的过去式(be 动词用were),主句用should(第一人称)或would(全
部人称)+动词原形。也可用could, might 代替should, would。
If he were here tomorrow, I would speak to him.明天如果他在这里的话,我就和他谈谈。
If you dropped the glass, it would break. 你要是把杯子掉下来,会打碎的。
If she had time, she could help me. 她要是有时间,就会帮我了。
②should do
条件从句中不管什么人称都用should do,可表示有偶然实现的可能性。
If it should rain, the crops could be saved. 假如下雨,庄稼可能就有救了。
We would trust him if he should be honest. 如果他真是诚实的,那我们就相信他。
③were to do
条件从句用were + to do。这种形式比较正式,常出现在书面语中,其假设成份很大,实
现的可能性很小。
If I were to do the work, I should do it in a different way.
要是我做这项工作,我就会以不
同的方式去做。
If the headmaster were to come, what would we say to him
假如校长来了,我们对他说什
么呢?
对比:
将来不太可能实现的三种非真实条件句中的虚拟语气对比
If it snowed tomorrow, I would stay at home. 如果明天下雪的话,我就留在家里。
(常用形式)
If it should snow tomorrow, I would stay at home. 如果明天下雪的话,我就留在家里。
(可能性较小)
If it were to snow tomorrow, I would stay at home.
如果明天要下雪的话,我就留在家里。
3
(可能性最小)
C.省略if 的条件句
在书面语中,非真实条件句中有were, had, should 时,可以省略if,而把were, had, should
放在主语前,用倒装结构。
Were it necessary, I might go without delay. 如果需要的话,我可以立即去。(= If it were
necessary......)
Had you taken my advice, you wouldn't have failed in the exam. 你要是听了我的建议,就
不会考试不及格了。(= If you had taken my advice......)
Should I have time, I would call on her.
要是有时间,我就去看她。(= If I should have
time......)
D.错综条件句
虚拟条件句中的主句和从句涉及的动作发生的时间不一致,这时主句和从句的谓语形式
应按照各自动作发生的实际时间来表达。
If you hadn't watched TV yesterday, you wouldn't be so sleepy now. 如果你昨天不看电视,
你现在也就不会这么困了。(从句yesterday 说明过去,主句now 说明现在)
If they had left home early this morning, they would arrive in half an hour.
如果他们今天
一早就离开家的话,再过半小时他们就该到了。(从句说明过去,主句说明将来。)
If you hesitated this moment, you might suffer in the future. 如果你此刻犹豫不决,你将来
会吃苦头的。(从句说明现在,主句说明将来)
注意:
在很多情况下,我们也可以用was 来代替当主语是第一人称或第三人称单数时的were。
If were here tomorrow...
也可以说成:If he was here tomorrow...
I wish I were a bird.
也可以说成:I sish I was a bird.
但倒装句型中的were 不可被was 来替换。
Were I in your position,I would not do it. 如果我处在你的位置,我是不会干这件事的。
E.含蓄条件句
非真实条件句中的条件从句有时不表达出来,只暗含在上下文中,这种句子叫做含蓄条
件句。含蓄条件句大体有三种情况:
1.条件暗含在短语中
He would not get such a result without your help. 没有你的帮助,他就不会有今天的成果。
(条件暗含在介词短语without your help 中)
But for you, I could not be recovered so soon. 要不是有你,我就不会恢复得这么快。(条件
暗含在But for you 中)
This same thing, happening in the past, would lead to a disaster. 同样的事,如发生在过
去,就会酿成大祸。(条件暗含在分词短语happening in the past 中)
He must have been there, or he never could know the place so well. 他一定是去过那儿,
否则他绝不会对那个地方如此熟悉。(暗含条件是连词or)
2 .条件可根据上下文推理出
It would do you no good. 这可能会对你没好处。(条件可能是if you should give up the job
如果你放弃这项工作的话)
They could have won. 他们本来是会赢的。(条件可能是if they had been patient 如果他
们有耐心的话)
Such mistakes could have been avoided.
这种错误完全能避免。(条件可能是if you had
been more careful 如果你更加小心一点的话)
Why didn't you tell me about it I should have helped you. 为什么你不告诉我?我会帮助你
的。(条件可能是if you had told me about it 如果你当时告诉我的话)
--- Did you go to see him yesterday 你昨天去看他了吗?
--- I would have, but someone dropped over to my house for a visit. 原想去的,但有人到我
家来玩了。(条件是if no one had dropped over to my house for a visit 如果没人到我家来玩
3
的话)
3.条件用其他形式来表示
She was ill, otherwise she would have been present at the meeting.
她病了,否则的话就会
出席会议了。(条件通过连词otherwiseor 表示出来If she had not been ill...)

己去那里,但也许我应该和他一道去。(连词but 暗示条件)

假若你站在我的立场上,你会怎么办?
(用supposesupposingproviding 等词表示if)

的听力不好。(动词不定式带有假设的意思,相当于If you should talk with her...)
Left to himself, he could not have finished the work. 要是放任他的话,他是不可能完成工

提示:
在很多情况下,虚拟式已变成习惯说法,很难找出其暗含的条件。
You wouldn't know. 你不会知道。
I would like to go with you. 我愿意和你一起去。
三、虚拟语气在各种从句中的用法
虚拟语气除主要用于非真实条件句外,还可用在部分主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句、同
位语从句、定语从句和状语从句之中。
A.名词性从句中的虚拟语气
主句中的动词、名词、形容词如表示要求、建议、命令或愿望等含义,与其相关的名词
性从句(主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句和同位语从句)中的谓语动词要用虚拟语气。
1.主语从句中的虚拟语气
主语从句通常用于“It is +形容词名词动词的-ed 形式+ that ...”结构。主语从句中是否用
虚拟语气取决于所用的形容词或动词的-ed 形式,其谓语动词常用“should +动词原形”(美
国英语常省略should,只用动词原形)。
①表示建议或命令
It is important that we (should) work out a study plan.
重要的是我们要制订出一个学习计
划。
It will be better that we (should) meet some other time. 最好我们在另一个时间见面。
It is suggested that each student (should) sing a song in English.
有人建议每个学生都要唱
一首英文歌曲。
It is demanded that he should leave at once. 要求他立刻离开。
②表示惊讶
It is strange that he should have failed to see his own shortcomings.
真奇怪他竟看不到自
己的缺点。
It is a pityshame that I should be at school instead of lying here in hospital. 真可惜,我应当
在学校而不是躺在医院里。
It is natural that you should forget it first. 你起先记不住是很自然的。
必背:
常见的要接含有虚拟语气主语从句的词
形容词:important, necessary, urgent, essential, vital, natural, strange, proper 等
动词的-ed 形式:arranged, suggested, ordered, required, desired, demanded, proposed 等
It is necessary that the program (should) be loaded into the computer.
有必要把程序输入
电脑。
It is strange that he should have learned so much in such a short time.
很奇怪他竟然在如
此短的时间内学了那么多的东西。
It is desired that we (should) get everything ready by tonight. 希望一切在今晚前准备就绪。
2.宾语从句
虚拟语气常用在表示要求、建议、命令或愿望的动词后的宾语从句中。
常见的宾语从句中需用“should+动词原形”的动词有:
3
一个坚持:insist
两个命令:order,command
三个建议:suggest,advise,propose
四个要求:demand,require,ask,desire
①在suggest(建议), order(命令), propose(建议), insist(坚持要做), command (命令),
request(要求),advise(建议)等动词后的宾语从句中,谓语动词用should +动词原形(美
国英语常省略should)。
The examination instructor asked that the students (should) not use a calculator. 考官要求
学生不要使用计算器。
The workers demanded that their wages (should) be raised by 10 percent. 工人们要求增加
百分之十的工资。
They requested that he (should) sing a song. 他们要求他唱一首歌。
比较:
动词suggest 和insist 后面的宾语从句,应根据不同情况选用陈述语气或虚拟语气。
suggest 作“建议”解时,用虚拟语气,作“使想起、暗示”解时,用陈述语气。
His silence suggested that he agreed with my decision. 他的沉默暗示他赞同我的决定。(暗
示)
He suggested that I (should) stick to my decision. 他建议我坚持自己的决定。(建议)
insist 作“坚决要求”解时,用虚拟语气,作“坚持认为”解时,用陈述语气。
He insists that doing morning exercises does good to people's health.
他坚持认为做早操对
健康有益。(强调)
He insists that he (should) do morning exercises every day. 他坚持每天都要做早操。
(要求)
②在动词wish 后的宾语从句中用虚拟语气,表示不可能实现的愿望。
一般过去时weredid 表示目前不可能实现的愿望
I wish I were a bird. 但愿我是一只小鸟。
I wish I knew the answer. 我要是知道答案就好了。
过去完成时 had done 表示过去不可能实现的愿望
I wish she had taken my advice. 那时她要是接受我的建议就好了。

过去将来时wouldcould do 表示将来没有把握或不可能实现的愿望
I wish you would stay an hour longer. 我希望你再呆一个小时。
I wish it could stop raining. 但愿雨能停。
提示:
由于wish 和hope 的汉语意思差不多,在使用上往往容易出错。wish 一般表示“希望”、
“但愿”,表示不可能实现的愿望,后接从句时要用虚拟语气;hope 表示“希望”,指可
以实现的希望,后接从句时用陈述语气。
The students hope that their football team will win the game.
学生们希望他们的足球队获
胜。(可能实现)
I wish I could see him now. 我希望现在就能看到他。(不可能实现)
3.表语从句和同位语从句中的虚拟语气
在表示建议、劝告、命令等含义的名词后的表语从句和同位语从句中,谓语动词要用

动词不定式
5
第五章 动词不定式(一)
动词不定式是动词的一种非谓语形式,在句中不能单独作谓语。动词不定式具有动词的
性质,它可以有自己的宾语和状语,从而构成动词不定式短语。它还可以有形式的变化,
即一般式、进行式、完成式和被动式。同时,动词不定式也具有非动词的性质,相当于一
个名词、形容词或副词,可以在句中担任主语、宾语、宾语补足语、表语、定语和状语。
一、动词不定式的特征和种类
动词不定式是由不定式符号to+动词原形构成,在某些情况下to 也可省略。
A .不定式的一般式
不定式的一般式表示的动作通常与主要谓语的动作同时或几乎同时发生,或是在它之后
发生。
He appears to be very happy. 他看起来好像很高兴。(同时发生)
To catch the train, we'd better hurry to the station by taxi. 为了赶上火车,我们最好赶紧乘
出租车去车站。(to catch the train 发生在hurry to the station 之后)
B.不定式的进行式
不定式的进行式表示正在进行的或与谓语动词同时发生的动作。
It happened to be raining when I got there. 我到达那里的时候,天碰巧在下雨。
I'm glad to be traveling with you. 我很高兴和你一起旅游。
C.不定式的完成式
不定式的完成式表示的动作在谓语表示的动作之前发生。
I'm sorry to have lost your key. 我很抱歉把你的钥匙弄丢了。
I meant to have finished my work last night, but I didn't feel very well.
我本来想昨晚完成
工作的,但是我感觉身体不舒服。

国家是一件很荣幸的事情。
D.不定式的完成进行式
不定式的完成进行式表示的动作在谓语之前发生并且一直进行着。
He was said to have been living in London for twenty years. 据说他在伦敦一直住了20 年。
I'm sorry to have been interrupting you. 很抱歉,我一直打扰你。
5
比较:
不定式的时态意义。
He is said to be studying abroad. 据说他正在国外读书。(不定式的进行式表示动作正在进
行)
He is said to have studied abroad. 据说他在国外学习过。
(不定式的完成式表示动作已经结
束)
E.不定式的被动形式
当不定式逻辑上的主语是这个不定式表示的动作的承受者时,不定式一般要用被动形式。
不定式的被动形式根据其与谓语动作发生的先后关系,有一般式和完成时两种。
1 .一般式to be done
These are the books to be given out to the students. 这些是要发给学生的书。
He asked to be sent to the place where he was most needed.
他要求被派往最需要他的地
方。
2 .完成式to have been done
The novel is said to have been translated into many languages.
据说这部小说已被译成多
种语言。
He appeared to have been questioned for many times. 看起来他已经被询问过很多次了。
F. 不定式的否定形式
不定式的否定形式由not 或never 加不定式构成。
We decided not to go out because of the bad weather. 由于天气不好,我们决定不出去。
Never to have made any mistake is impossible. 从不犯错是不可能的。
注意:谓语动词的否定和不定式的否定不同的意义
I did not promise to wake him up. 我没有答应叫醒他。
I promised not to wake him up. 我答应了不叫醒他。
一、动词不定式的用法
动词不定式除了不能单独作谓语外,几乎能担任句子中所有的句子成分。
A .动词不定式作主语
不定式具有名词的特征,可在句子中充当主语。
1 .不定式短语在句首作主语
To know oneself is difficult. 人贵有自知之明。
To say is one thing and to do is another. 说是一回事,做又是另一回事。
To love and to be loved is the greatest happiness one can get.
爱与被爱是一个人能获得的
最大幸福。
2 .用it 作形式主语
在很多情况下,人们通常用it 作为形式上的主语,而把不定式移到谓语之后,使句子结
构显得平稳一些。
It's rude to turn your back to your teacher and refuse to answer. 背对着老师,拒绝回答问
题是不礼貌的。
It is impossible to learn a foreign language without making painstaking effort.
想不下苦功
就能学会外语是不可能的。

to 等。

to 既可以是不定式符号,后接动词原形;to 也可以是介词,后接名词或动词的-ing 形式。

第6 章 动词的-ing 形式
动词的-ing 形式包括传统语法的“动名词”(gerund)和“现在分词”(present

与动词不定式一样,动词的-ing 形式也具有动词的特征,有时态和语态的变化,并可带

遗憾。(=I really regretted having missed such an exciting lecture.)
6
We remembered seeing the film.

词的-ing 形式作宾语补足语
1 .动词的-ing 形式可以在see, hear, notice, watch, feel, smell, look at, listen to, observe,

2 .动词的-ing 形式和不定式作宾语补语的区别
在see, hear, feel, watch, notice 等感官动词后,既可用动词的-ing 形式构成复合宾语,也
可用不定式构成复合宾语,两者之间有一定的区别。用动词的-ing 形式时,表示动作正在
进行;用不定式时,表示动作发生了,即动作的全过程结束了。

话,则需使用定语从句。

间吗?F.动词的-ing 形式作状语
动词的-ing 形式可以作状语,修饰动词,在句中表示时间、原因、结果、条件、让步、行
为方式或伴随情况等。-ing 形式作时间、原因、条件、让步状语时多位于句首;作结果、

三、动词的-ing 形式的逻辑主语
A.作主语的-ing 形式
-ing 形式作主语时,其逻辑主语对于谈话双方是不言而喻的。
Reading aloud is very helpful. 朗读是很有好处的。(Reading aloud 的逻辑主语是泛指任何
人,因而无需表达出来)
提示:
如果作主语的-ing 形式需要自己的逻辑主语时,一般用物主代词或名词所有格(即名词
后加's)。
His father's falling ill worried him greatly. 他父亲生病使他很着急。
(his father 是falling ill
的逻辑主语)
Your coming to work with us will be a great encouragement to us. 你来和我们一道工作,对
我们是很大的鼓舞。(you 是coming to work with us 的逻辑主语)
B.作表语的-ing 形式
-ing 形式作表语时,其逻辑主语往往是句子中的主语,但作表语的-ing 形式也可带有自己
的逻辑主语。
What worries me most is Julia's staying too late every night.
我担心的是她天天晚上熬夜
熬得太迟。(staying too late every night 的逻辑主语是Julia)
The main problem is your not having practiced a lot.
主要的问题是你缺乏大量的练习。
(not having practiced a lot 的逻辑主语是you)
C.作定语的-ing 形式
-ing 形式作定语时,其逻辑主语就是它修饰的名词。
7
an interesting book 一本有意思的书= a book that interests its readers
a running stream 一条奔流的小溪= a stream that is running
如果-ing 形式的逻辑主语是动作的承受者,就要用-ing 形式的被动式。
The meeting being held in Beijing now is of great importance. 正在北京召开的会议非常重
要。(逻辑主语the meeting 和“举行”之间的关系是被动的,所以用being held
D.作宾语的-ing 形式
-ing 形式作宾语时,其逻辑主语常是句子中的主语。如要明确动作的执行者,也可以在-ing
形式前加上名词或代词表示逻辑主语。
I can't imagine John's giving a speech in front of so many people.
我不能想像约翰会在这
么多人前面发言。(John 是giving a speech 的逻辑主语)
He was awakened by someone knocking at the door.
他被某人的敲门声吵醒了。
(someone 是knocking at the door 的逻辑主语)
The boss understood himhis wanting to leave.
老板明白他为什么要离职。(“他”是
wanting to leave 逻辑主语)
比较:
He insisted on doing it himself.
他坚持要自己做。(doing it 的逻辑主语是句子的主语
“他”)
He insisted on my doing it. 他坚持要我做。(doing it 的逻辑主语是“我”)
Would you mind opening the window 请你把窗子打开好吗?(opening the window 的逻辑
主语是“你”)
Would you mind my opening the window
你介意我把窗子打开吗?(opening the window
的逻辑主语是“我”)
E.作宾语补足语的-ing 形式
动词-ing 形式作逻辑主语时,它的逻辑主语就是它前面的宾语。
We often hear her singing this song.
我们经常听见她唱这首歌。(singing this song 的逻辑
主语是“她”)
We often hear this song (being) sung.
我们经常听见这首歌被人唱。(逻辑主语“this
song”和宾语补足语“唱”的关系是被动,所以用-ing 形式的被动式或-ed 分词。)
F .作状语的动词-ing 形式
1 .动词的-ing 形式作状语时,其逻辑主语一般应与句子的主语保持一致。
Entering the classroom, I found nobody in it. 走进教室,我发现里面没人。(entering 的逻
辑主语是I,相当于when I entered the classroom, I found nobody in it.)
如-ing 形式表示的动作不是句中主语发出或承受的,那就是误用。这种无依着的-ing 形式,
语法上称之为“垂悬分词”。
【误】Looking out through the window, the garden was beautiful.(looking out through the
window 的逻辑主语是the garden,显然不对)
【正】Looking out through the window, we saw a beautiful garden.从窗户看出去,我们看
见一个漂亮的花园。
【误】Reading the evening newspaper, a dog started barking. (逻辑主语是dog,它不会
看晚报)
【正】I was reading the evening newspaper when a dog started barking. 我看着晚报的时
候,一只狗开始叫起来。
2 .如不能和句子中的主语保持一致,该-ing 形式必须有自己的逻辑主语,通常有名词或
代词来担任。
The last bus having gone, we had to walk home.
末班车已经开走了,我们不得不走回家。
(having gone 的逻辑主语是the last bus,而不是we)
Time permitting, the football match will be played on Friday.
天气允许的话,足球赛将在
7
周五举行。(permitting 的逻辑主语是time,而不是the football match)
注意:
高中阶段有一些固定的-ing形式短语,如generally speaking, judging from..., considering...,
talking of..., supposing...等,它们的逻辑主语可以和句子的主语不一致。这种-ing 短语可当
作一个插入语。
Generally speaking, boys are more interested in science than girls.
一般说来,男孩
比女孩对科学更感兴趣。
Judging from his accent, he must come from Canada. 从他的口音看,他一定来自加拿大。
Considering how poor he was, we decided to let him attend the concert for free.
考虑到他
是多么的穷,我们决定让他免费听音乐会。
Supposing it rains what will you do 假使下雨,你会怎么办呢?
过去分词
第7 章 动词的过去分词形式
动词的-ed 形式也是非谓语动词的一种,它具有动词的一些特点,同时也具有形容词、副
词的句法功能,在句中可用作表语、定语、状语和宾语补足语等。
一、动词的-ed 形式的特征
A.动词的-ed 形式是由动词的过去分词构成
动词的-ed 形式只有一种形式,即传统语法中的过去分词。绝大部分的动词的-ed 形式由
动词原形加-ed 构成,也有一些动词的-ed 形式是不规则的。
1. 规则动词的-ed 形式
limit→limited(限制)
pretend→pretended(假装)
escape→escaped(逃脱)
provide→provided(提供)
refer→referred(提交)
drag→dragged(拖)
pray→prayed(祈祷)
supply→supplied(供应)
2.不规则动词的-ed 形式
cast→cast(投掷)
spread→spread(传播)
bite→bitten(咬)
forgive→forgiven(原谅)
spit→spat( 吐)
wear→worn(穿)
fight→fought(搏斗)
lose→lost(丢失)
3.少数动词的-ed 形式作定语时,读音与一般过去分词不同
learned a learned professor 一位知识渊博的教授
aged an aged man 老人
beloved his beloved computer 他心爱的计算机
B.动词的-ed 形式的否定形式
动词的-ed 形式的否定形式是由not 或never 加动词的-ed 形式构成。
Not allowed to go in, he had to wait outside. 不允许他进去,他只好在外面等着。
Never invited to his party, she got angry with him. 从未被邀请过去他的聚会,
7
她很生气。
C.动词的-ed 形式的特征
动词的-ed 形式有被动的意思,有时也可表示完成的动作。
1.动词的-ed 形式表示已完成的动作。
除了作形容词用的-ed 形式外,动词的-ed 形式可带有完成的意义,有的同时也带有被动
的意义。
Born and brought up in the countryside, he was interested in biology. 由于在
农村出生并长大,他对生物很感兴趣。
One of the glasses was found broken. 有人发现其中一个杯子破了。
The books, written by Lu Xun, are popular with many Chinese people. 鲁迅写的
这些书,受到了许多中国人的喜爱。
2.及物动词的-ed 形式一般表示被动的意思。
Given more time, I could have solved that riddle. 要是有充足的时间,我就能猜
出那个谜语。(句子的主语I 和动词give 之间是被动关系。)
When you speak English, be sure to make yourself understood. 你说英语的时候,
一定要让人懂得你的意思。(动词make 的宾语yourself 和宾语补足语understand 之间是
被动关系。)
The experience gained in the army was of great value to our study. 在军队获得
的经验对我们的学习很有帮助。
3.不及物动词的-ed 形式只表示完成的意思,并不带有被动的含义。
an escaped prisoner 逃犯 (= a prisoner who has escaped)
a retired worker 退休工人 (= a worker who has retired)
a newly arrived guest 新来的客人 (= a guest who has just arrived)
We should bring in advanced technology from developed countries from time to time.
我们应该不时地从发达国家引进先进技术。
People should pay attention to the changed situation. 人们应该注意到变化了的
形势。
二、动词的-ed 形式的用法
动词的-ed 形式在句中主要起形容词和副词的作用,可以作定语、表语、状语和补语。
A.动词的-ed 形式作表语
1.-ed 形式在连系动词后作表语,说明主语的状态。
The students are fully prepared. 学生们已做好了充分的准备。
When we got there, the shop was closed. 我们到那儿时,商店已经关门了。

The top of the mountain is covered with snow all through the year. 山顶上终年
积雪覆盖。
比较:
要把-ed 形式作表语和被动语态区别开来。作表语的-ed 形式表示状态,被动语态中的-ed
形式表示被动动作。
All the doors are locked. 所有的门都是锁着的。(-ed 形式作表语,表示状态)
All the doors were locked by the guard. 所有的门都被卫兵锁上了。(被动语态,表
示动作)

态
Peter the Great was buried here in 1725. 彼得大帝于1725 年被埋葬在这里。(被动
语态,表示动作)
2.同一动词的-ed 形式与-ing 形式作表语时的区别。
动词的-ed 形式作表语,主要表示主语的心理感觉或所处的状态,含有被动的意思,而-ing
7
形式作 表语多表示主语具有的特征,含有主动的意思。
They were frightened to hear the frightening sound. 他们听到那可怕的声音很害
怕。
At the sight of the moving scene, all the people present were moved. 看到这么
动人的情景,所有在场的人都感动了。
提示:
上述动词的-ed 形式,有的(如pleased, tired, excited, disappointed等)已经变成
形容词,可以被very, too 等副词修饰。有的(如amused, puzzled, relaxed等)还不能
被very, too 修饰,只能被much 修饰。
These problems are very puzzling. 这些问题很令人迷惑。
We are much puzzled by his failure to reply. 他不给我们回信使我们百思不得其
解。
His speech was very moving. 他的演讲非常感人。
All the people present were moved to tears. 在场的所有人都被感动得流泪了。
B.动词的-ed 形式作宾语补足语
当作宾语补足语的动词和前面的宾语之间是被动关系时,一般应用动词的-ed 形式作宾语
的补足语。

清他的讲话。

不再给我们任何时间的话,我们三星期之内完成不了任务。

【误】Invited to the state banquet is a great honour.
【正】To be invited to the state banquet is a great honour. 被邀请出席国宴是
极大的荣耀。
【误】I cannot stand laughed at.
【正】I cannot stand being laughed at. 我不能容忍被人嘲笑。
三、动词的-ed 形式的逻辑主语
A.动词的-ed 形式在句中作状语和表语时,它的逻辑主语一般来说就是句子的主语,-ed
形式和主语之间是被动关系。
Locked up, he had no way to escape. 他被锁了起来,没有办法逃跑了。
Lost in thought, he almost ran into the car in front of him. 他陷入了沉思,几
乎撞到了前面的汽车。
She became discouraged at the news. 听到这个消息,她泄气了。
Though it was 1000 a.m., the door of the shop remained locked. 尽管已经是上午
10 点了,商店的门仍然锁着。
B.当动词的-ed 形式在句中作定语时,它的逻辑主语是被它修饰的名词,它和名词之间
是被动关系。

in the 16th century. 第一批编写出来作为英语教材的课本是16 世纪出版的。
The computer center, opened last year, is very popular among the students in this

C.当动词的-ed 形式在句中作宾语补语或主语补语时,它的逻辑主语是句子的主语或宾
语,它们之间的关系是被动关系。

had broken in. 我们回到家发现整幢房子被翻得乱七八糟, 很明显小偷闯进来了。
7
D.动词的-ed 形式有时可有其独立的逻辑主语,常用作状语(详见“第8 章 独立主格结
构”)。
Everything done, we went home. 一切事情都做完了,我们就回家了。

Given the general state of his health, it may take him a while to recover from
the operation. 考虑到他一般的身体状况,手术后的恢复可能需要一段时间。
第八章 独立主格结构
非谓语动词作状语时,它的逻辑主语应该是句子的主语。但有时非谓语动词带有自己的主
语,从而在结构上与主语不发生关系,我们称之为独立主格结构(Absolute Construction)。
其实,所谓“独立主格结构”也并非真正独立,它还是一种从属的结构。
一、 非谓语动词独立主格结构
在独立主格结构中,非谓语动词和它前面的名词或代词存在着逻辑上的主谓关系。
Such an able man to help you ,you will surely succeed sooner or later.
有这么能干的人来帮你,你迟早一定会成功的。(such an able man 和to help you 之间存在
着主谓关系)
= Since such an able man will help you, you will surely succeed sooner or later.
He seating himself at the desk, his mother began to tell him a story.
他在书桌旁坐好后,他母亲开始给他讲故事。(seating himself at the desk 拥有了自己的
逻辑主语he,注意是“主格”)
= When he seated himself at the desk, his mother began to tell him a story.
The key to the bike lost, he had to walk to school.
由于丢了自行车钥匙,他只好步行去学校。(lost 的逻辑主语是the key,lost 也可以用完
成式having been lost)
= Because the key to the bike had been lost, he had to walk to school.
A.
不定式“独立主格结构”
在“逻辑主语+动词不定式”结构中,动词不定式和它前面的名词或代词存在着逻辑上的
主谓关系。这种结构也可用一个从句或并列分句来表达。
1.动词不定式用主动的形式
在独立主格结构中,动词不定式和它前面的名词或代词存在着逻辑上的主谓关系。
His mother to come tonight ,he is busy preparing the dinner.
他母亲今晚要来,他正在忙着准备饭菜。(= As his mother is to come tonight, he is busy
preparing the dinner.)
——will you go to the comcert tonight 你今晚去听音乐会吗?
——sorry.So many exerise-books to check,I rially can't afford any time.
对不起,有这多的作业要批,我真的抽不出时间。
(=Because I shall check so many exercise-books tonight,I really can't afford any time.)
The four of us agreed on a division of labour,each to translate a quarter of the book.
我们四人同意分工干,每人翻译全书的四分之一。
(=The four of us agreed on a division of labour and each is to translate a quarter of the

beautiful. 种上许多的树,花和草后,我们新建的学校将看上去更美。(=If many
8
trees,flowers,and grass are planted,our newly-built school will look even more beautiful.)
B.-ing 形式“独立主格结构”
动词的-ing 形式作状语时,其逻辑主语一般应与句子的主语保持一致。
Being ill, he went home.
由于生病,他回家了。(= As he was very ill, he went home.)
Seating himself at the desk, he began to read a magazine.
在课桌旁坐好后,他开始看杂志。(= When he had seated himself at the desk, he began to
read a magazine.)
1.表示时间的-ing 形式作“独立主格结构”
Everyone being ready, the teacher began his class.
每个人都准备好后,老师开始上课。(相当于一个时间状语从句When everyone was
ready)
The chairman began the meeting , everyone being seated.
每个人坐好后,主席开始开会。(相当于一个时间状语从句after everyone was seated)
2.表示原因的-ing 形式作“独立主格结构”
The boy leading the way, we had no trouble finding the strange cave. 由那个男孩带路,我
们没有困难就找到了那奇怪的洞。(相当于一个原因状语从句Because the boy led the way)
Many eyes watching him, he felt a bit nervous. 许多眼睛看着他,他感到有点儿紧张。(相
当于一个原因状语从句As many eyes were watching him)
必背:
含有being 的独立主格结构。

我的健康许可的话,我愿工作到深夜。(相当于一个条件状语从句If my health allows)
4.表示方式的-ing 形式作“独立主格结构”
The students are walking in the school happily, each wearing a card in front of his chest.
学生们快乐地在学校里走着,每个人胸前都带着一张卡。(相当于一个并列分句and each
wears a card in front of his chest)
The boy lay on the grass, his eyes looking at the sky.
男孩躺在草地上,眼睛看着天空。(相当于一个并列分句and his eyes were looking at the
sky)
C.-ed 形式“独立主格结构”
与逻辑主语+动词的-ing 形式一样,如果-ed 形式的逻辑主语和句子的主语不一致的话,
就需要用-ed 形式的独立主格结构。
The book written in simple English, English beginners were able to read it.
该书是用简单英语写的,英语初学者也能看懂。
= As the book was written in simple English ,English beginners were able to read it.

The task completed,he had two months' leave.
任务完成以后,他休了两个月的假。(=When the task had been completed,he had two
8
months' leave.)
比较:
动词不定式表示动作没有发生或即将发生,动词-ed 形式表示动作已经结束,动词-ing 形
式往往表示动作正在进行。
The manager looks worried ,many things to settle. 经理看上去很着急,有这么多的事情要
处理。(事情还没有处理,而且是由经理本人来处理,用不定式to settle)
The manager looks relaxed, many things settled. 许多事情已经处理好了,经理看上去很轻
松。(事情已经处理好了,用动词-ed 形式settled 表示动作已经结束)

同时进行)
The food cooked, the boy went to bed.
饭做好了,小孩去睡了。(两个动作有先后,饭
已做好,小孩才去睡觉的)
一、 动词独立主格结构
“逻辑主语+being+其他”是独立主格结构中的“逻辑主语+动词-ing 形式”的一种形式。
在这种结构中,being 往往可以被省去,这种省去being 的结构,称之为无动词“独立主格
结构”。
A.逻辑主语+名词

十个学生报名参加了这次竞赛,年纪最小的是个12 岁的男孩。
(the youngest 和a boy of 12

时介词短语里的限定词也可省略。
8
The music teacher stood at the door, violin in hand.
音乐老师站在门口,手里拿着一把小提琴。(= The music teacher stood at the door, a violin
in his hand.)
二、 withwithout 引导的独立主格结构
介词withwithout +宾语+宾语的补足语可以构成独立主格结构,上面讨论过的独立主格结构

四 、 独立主格结构的句法功能
独立主格结构在句中除了能充当原因状语、时间状语、条件状语和伴随状语外,还能作定
语。在形式上,“独立主格结构”可位于句首、句中或句尾,并通常用逗号与主句隔开。

第九章 名词性从句
由一个主句和一个或一个以上的从句构成的句子叫复合句。名词性从句在复合句中起名词
的作用,它包括主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句、同位语从句四大类,在句中分别用作主
语、宾语、表语和同位语。
一 、引导名词性从句的关联词
A.that
连词that 本身没有意义,在从句中不担任任何句子成分,在宾语从句中有时可省略。
I hear (that) he has joined the football club. 我听说他已经加入了足球俱乐部。
That light travels in straight line is known to all. 众所周知,光是以直线传播
的。
It so happens that I know the man. 碰巧我认识那个。
Is it certain that they will win 他们一定会赢吗
B.whether 和if
连词whether 和if 本身有意义(解释是否),在从句中不可省略。
1.whether 可以连接所有的名词性从句,而if 只能引导宾语从句。
I didn't know whether he would attend the concert. 我并不知道他是否参加音乐会。
(宾语从句,可用if 代替whether)
The question is whether it s worth trying. 问题是值不值得试一试。(表语从句,
不可用if 代替whether)
Whether she comes or not makes no difference. 她来不来都没有关系。(主语从句,
不可用if 代替whether)
He must answer the question whether he agrees to it or not. 他必须回答他是否
同意此事这样一个问题。(同位语从句,不可用if 代替whether)
2.whether 引导的宾语从句可作介的宾语,而if 则不能。
It all depends on whether they will support us. 这完全取决于他们是否支持我们。
(不用if)
Ryan was worrying about whether he had hurt her feelings. 瑞恩担心是否伤害了
她的感情。
3.if 既可引导语从句,也可引导宾语从句。如果用if 会引起歧义,应避免使用if,而
用whether。
Please let me know if you want to join us. 请告诉我你是否想加入我们。(if 引导
的从句可被看成是宾语从句,if 表示是否)
Please let me know if you want to join us. 如果你想加入我们的话,请告诉我一声。
(if 引导的从句可被看成是条件状语从句,if 表示如果)
Please let me know whether you want t join us. 请告诉我你是否想加入我们。(为
避免引起歧义,可用whether 表示是否)
C.who, whom, whose, what, which
连接代词who, whom, whose, what, which 等在从句中既起连接作用,同时又担当主语、
8
宾语、定语、表语等成分。
No one knows who he was waiting for. 没人知道他当时在等谁。
We are worrying about what we should do next. 我们正在为下一步该怎么办而烦恼。
Tell me whos house it is. 告诉我这是谁的家。
Let me know which train you will be arriving on. 告诉我你将乘哪列火车到达。
D.where, when, how, why
连接副词where, when, how, why 等在从句中既是连接词,又作状语。
I don't know where we are going to have the meeting.我不知道我们将在哪儿开会。
She always thinks of how shecan work well. 她总是在想怎样能把工作做好。
What I am anxious to know is when we can visit the museum. 我急于知道我们什么
时候能参观博物馆。
比较:
when 引导的时间状语从句和名词性从句中的不同时态。
Please lt me know when you arrive. 你到的时候,请告诉我一声。(when 引导的是时
间状语从句,从句中用一般现在时来表示将来。)
Please let me know when you will arrive. 请告诉我你什么时候到。(when 引导的是
宾语从句,从句中用一般将来时。)
E.whoever, whomever, whatever, whichever, whosever
连接代词whoever = anyone who任何人, 无论谁;whatever =anything that 凡是...,
无论什么;whichever = anything that无论那一个, 任何一个;whomever = anyone whom
(whoever 的宾格形式)。
Whoever comes to the club is welcome. 不论谁来参加这个俱乐部都欢迎。
Whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well.凡是值得做的就值得做好。
They ate whatever they could find o the deserted island. 他们在荒岛找到什么就
吃什么。
You may do whatever you will. 你可做任何你想做的事。
I'll take whichever book interests me.我愿买任何让我感兴趣的书。
Whosever book is overdue will be fined. 不管谁的书过期未还都要被罚款。
比较:
连接代词whoever 在宾语从句中作主语,whomever 作宾语从句中宾语。
You may offer he book to whoever wants it. 你可把这本书给任何想要的人。(此句
中不能使用whomever,因为whoever 在宾语从句中作wants it 的主语)
You may offer the book to whomever you like. 你可把这本书给任何你喜欢的人。
(whomever 在宾语从句中作you like 的宾语)
一、 表语从句
表语从句放在连系动词之后,充当复合句中的表语。
A.可接表语从句的连系动词
可接表语从句的连系动词有be, look, seem, sound, appear 等。
China is no longer what she used to be. 今日的中国不再是过去的中国了。
The question remains whether they will be able to help us. 问题还是他们能否帮
我们。
Itappears that he has a taste for music.看来他对音乐有一定的鉴赏力.
At that time, it seemed as if I couldn' t think of the right word anyhow. 当
时,我似乎怎么也想不出一个恰当的字眼来。
B.as, as ifthough 引导的表语从句
He looked just as he had looked ten years before. 他看起来还与十年前一样。
It sounds as ifsomeone is knocking at the door. 听起来好像有人在敲门。
C.because, why 引导的表语从句
I think it is because you are talking too much. 我想这是因为你话说得太多。
That's because he didn't understand me. 那是因为他没有理解我。(That's because
8
三 同位语从句
同位语从句用于对前面的名词作进一步解释,说明名词的具体内容。同位语从句一般由
that 引导,但也可以由whether 以及连接代词和连接副词引导。
A.同位语从句一般跟在名词fact, hope, idea, news, doubt, suggestion, information,
opinion, decision, discovery, truth, promise, statement, problem, rule 等的面。
They were all very much worried over the fact that you were sick. 对你生病这
件事,他们都很焦虑。
Where did you get the idea that I could not come 你在哪儿听说我不能来?
I have no idea whether he'll come or not. 我不知道他是否来。

到哪儿去度暑假,这个问题我们还没有决定。
It is a question how he did it. 那是一个他如何做了此事的问题。
There is no doubt that we will win. 毫无疑问我们会赢的。
注意:
当含有同位语从句的主句谓语部分过短时,可以把谓语动词提前,使同位语从句与名词
隔开,以避免头重脚轻的现象。
Word came that Mr President would come and inspect ourschool himself. 有消息
说总统先生将亲自来视察我们学校。
B.使用虚拟语气的同位语从句
在一些表示建议、命令、要求的名词后的同位语从句中,谓语动词用should+动词原形表
示,should 可省略。
This is our only request that this (hould) be settled as soon as possible. 尽
快解决这个问题,这是我们唯一的请求。
He made the suggestion that we go by train. 他建议我们坐火车去。
8
第十章、定语从句
1、 定语从句在句中修饰某个名词或代词,被定语从句修饰的词叫先行词。定语从句需用下
列关联词:关系代词和关系副词。 它们起连词作用,本身做从句的主语、宾语、表语或定
语,本身在从句中作时间、地点或原因状语。 主要有who, whom, that, whose, which, as,
when, where, why。PS:what 不能引导定语从句. 指人的关系代词有who、whose、whom、
that. 指物的关系代词有which、whose(=of which)、that.
The old man who/whom /that we visited yesterday is a famous artist.
Miss Wang is taking care of the child whose parents have gone to Beijing .
The man with whom my father shook hands just now is our headmaster. (=The man
who/whom/ that my father shook hands with just now is our headmaster.)
I like the books which / that were written by Lu Xun.
The desks (which/that) we made last year were very good.
This is the house in which we lived last year. (= This is the house which /that we lived in last
year.)
I live in the room whose windows face south. (= I live in the room ,the windows of which face
south.)
2、 掌握以上关系代词、关系副词的含义及使用时,要特别注意以下几点:
1) 指人时宜用who 的情况:
a. 当先行词是 one, ones, anyone 或 those , these 时,关系代词用 who。
The comrade I want to learn from is the one who studies hard and works hard.
Anyone who breaks the law should be punished.
Anyone who goes there will be punished.
These who are going to Beijing are the best students of our school.
b. 在there be 开头的句子中。
There’s a beautiful girl who came to see you this morning.
There is a student who wants to see you.
c. 先行词后有一个较长的定语。
I met a foreigner in the city last week who could speak Chinese well.
d. 一个句子中带有两个定语从句,其中一个定语从句的关系代词是that,另一个宜用who,
8
以免重复。
The student that won the first prize is the monitor who works hards.
e. 在非限定性定语从句中。
She has a brother, who worked at that factory ten years ago.
2) 指物时宜用 that 的情况:
a. 当先行词为 all, none, much, little, few, something, anything, everything, nothing 等不定
代词时。
All that can be done has been done.
b. 当先行词既指人又指物时。
He spoke of the men and the thing (that) he had seen abroad.
c. 当先行词是疑问词 who, what, which 时或者句子以疑问词 who , what , which 打头时。
Who that has such a home doesn’t love it?
d. 先行词是序数词、形容词最高级 或者 当先行词被序数词或形容词的最高级修饰时。
This is one of the best films that I have ever seen.
This is the best that can be done now.
e. 当先行词被 the very, the only, the last, the same , just, one of , any, every , few , little , no ,
all , one of 等修饰时。
This is one of the very book that I am looking for.
f. 关系代词在从句中作表语。
Mary is no longer the girl that she used to be.
3) 只能用 which 不能用 that 的情况。
a. 引导非限定性定语从句修饰某物或整个句子。
Bruce went towards the fire, which was still smoking.
Tom came back late, which made his parents very angry.
b. 关系代词作介词的宾语。This is the house in which Lu Xun once lived.
c. that,those 作主语时
Those which are on the desk are English books.
4) 关系代词 as 和which 都能引导非限定性定语从句代表整个句子的内容,as 引导的从句
可位于句首或句末,which 引导的定语从句则不能位于句首。
Which you know, he is a good man. (×)
As you know, he is a good man. (√)
5)关系副词when, where, why 其含义相当于on which, in which , for which 等,可以互换:
The day when /on which I met him first was May 1st.
I don’t know the reason why /for which he didn’t come.
6)whose 指物时,可以与of which 等结构互换,但应注意与冠词的位置关系:
This is the book the cover of which / of which the cover / whose cover is blue.
7)有时可用that 代替关系副词。在口语中常省略。
This is the reason (why / for which / that) he came late.
9
8)先行词是专有名词、整个句子或世界上独一无二的物质名词时,一般用非限定性定语从句
修饰。
The sun, which gives us light and heat, is very big.
9)在先行词和定语从句之间有无逗号有时会引起名义的变化:
He said nothing that made her angry. 他没说使她生气的话。
He said nothing, which made her angry. 他一言不发,这使她很生气。
10) 部分短语动词中的介词不可与动词拆开,在定语从句中其介词不可前置,只能放在其动
词之后。
Is this the book which she is looking for?
The old man who/whom they are waiting for is Professor Li.
The child who/whom she is looking after is Wang Ping’s son.
11) 先行词前有such、the same、 as 时, 关系代词用as,不用that, 但the same…as…表示
同样的, the same…that…表示同一的。
He knows as many people as are present at the meeting.
Such people as you refer to are rare nowadays.
3、 定语从句与强调结构
It is the place where they lived before.
It is in the place that they lived before.
第一个句子为定语从句,where 指代the place,在定语从句中作状语,第二个句子为强调结
构,强调in the place, that 没有意义,把放回后面句子,句子意思完整。
Where is it that he found the lost watch? (强调句型,强调疑问副词where.)
Where is the watch he found yesterday? (定语从句,that 指代the watch.)
4、 定语从句中的先行词
Is this book the one that you bought yesterday?
Is this the book that you bought yesterday?
第一个句子中,this book 是主句的主语,the one 是先行词。在第二个句子中this 是主句的
主语,the book 是先行词。一定要避免出现:Is this book that you bought yesterday?
5、 定语从句与同位语从句
定语从句相当于形容词,它对先行词起修饰、描述或限制作用,而同位语从句则相当于名
词,对其前面的词给予说明或作进一步解释,即说明该词所表示的具体内容。例如:
The news that we heard is not true. (定语从句)
The news that he won the prize is not true. (同位语从句)
另: 在“have no idea +从句”结构中,其从句都作idea 的同位语。例如:
I have no idea when she will be back.
6. 限制性定语从句与非限制性定语从句的区别:
All the students who study hard have passed.
学习努力的学生都考试及格了。(只有努力的及格了,不努力的没及格。)
9
All the students ,who study hard have passed.
所有的学生都及格了,他们学习努力。(没有人不及格,这些学生都很努力。)
在限制性定语从句中,从句是先行词不可缺少的定语(如去掉,主句意思就不完整或
不正确。)从句与主句关系密切,不用逗号。译为汉语时,从句译在先行词前,与先行词用
“的”连接 。
在非限制性定语从句中,从句是对先行词的附加说明(如去掉,主句意思仍清楚,不
受影响。) 从句与主句关系不十分密切,用逗号与主句隔开。译为汉语时,从句放在主句
后面。
7. As 和which 的辨析关系。
○1.This elephant is like a snake, as /which everybody can see. =As everybody can see,
this elephant is like a snake. 任何人都看得出来,这头象像条蛇。
○2.Tom didn’t pass the physics exam, which made his parents very angry.
Tom 物理考试不及格,这使得他父亲很生气。
这两个例句中,as 和which 所代表的都是整个主句所表示的内容。但有两点不同之处:
a
.在形式上as 引导的非限制性定语从句可位于主句的后面,也可位于主句的前面;而
which 引导的非限制性定语从句只能位于主句的后面,不能位于主句的前面。
b.在意义上,as 引导的定语从句和主句的关系一般为一致关系,常译为“正如……”,
“就像……”,而which 引导的定语从句和主句的关系是因果关系,或which 引导的定语从
句是对主句的评论。因此,在意思通顺的情况下,which 可代替as,而as 许多时候不能代
替which,如句○2。
【当从句和主句语义一致时,用as,反之则用which。
She has married again, as was expected. She has married again, which was
unexpected.】
再如:
1)He was late again, as / which we had expected. =As we had expected, he was late
again.
正如我们所料,他又迟到了。/他又迟到了这是我们早就料到的。
2)The street hasn’t been cleared for weeks, which makes it very dirty.
街道好多星期没有打扫了,因此整条街很脏。(不用as)
3)The young man cheated his friend of much money, which was disgraceful.
那年轻人诈骗了他朋友许多钱财,这是不光彩的。(不 用as)
4)He takes exercise everyday, which has done a lot of good to his health.
他每天运动,这对他的身体很有好处。(不用as)
5)As has already been pointed out, English is rather difficult for a foreigner.
正如已经指出的那样,英语对于初学者说,是相当难学的。
c . as
在从句中作主语时,后面常接行为动词的被动语态,如be known,be said,be
reported 等,如从句中行为动词是主动语态,一般要用which 作主语。
She has been late again, as was expected.
Tom has made great progress, which made us happy.
9
d.
在such…as…、the same…as…、 as…、 as many…/much as…等结构中,as 不能用
which 代替。
1)Such books as this are too difficult for beginners.
这样的书对于初学的人来说是太难
了。
=Books such as this are …
=Books like this are …
2)I live in the same building as he (does).
我和他住再同一座大楼里。
3)He knows as many people as are present at the meeting.
他认识所有到会的人。
4)That day we all got up early as usual.
那天我们和平时一样,都起得很早。
“One of the +
复数名词”后面定语从句中谓语单复数情况
8. “One of the +复数名词”后面定语从句中谓语动词通常用复数形式,跟定语从句所靠
近的那个复数名词在数上保持一致。如:
1
)That is one of the books that are required for study at school.
2
)This is one of the most wonderful novels that have been published since 1990.
3
)She is one of the few persons who know Spanish .
4
)This is one of the most famous plays that were written in the thirties,
如果one of +复数名词这一结构前面带有the only、the very 之类的限定语,后面定语从
句的谓语动词则要用单数形式,这是因为定语从句在意义上修饰的是one 而不是那个复数
名词。如:
1)He is the only one of the teachers who knows French in our school.(
修饰the only
one)
He is one of the teachers who know French in our school.(
修饰the teachers)
2)This is the only one of the rooms that is free now. (
修饰the only one)
This is one of the rooms that are free now. (
修饰rooms)
9. 由关系副词when, where, why 所引导的定语从句。
a. when 在从句中作时间状语, 其先行词多为表示时间概念的名词。
We can never forget the day when HongKong returned to our homeland.
我们永远也不会忘记香港回归祖国的那一天。
b. where 在从句中作地点状语, 其先行词多为表示地点概念的名词。
The building w here you used to live has been pulled down.
你过去住的楼房已经被拆除了。
c.why 在从句中作原因状语, 其先行词多为表示原因概念的名词。
We know the reason why he was very angry.
我们知道他为什么那么生气。
This is the day when I joined the party/which he spent reading the books/which I still never
forget.
This is the place which we once visited/which I will never forget/which I am looking
for/where I found the book.
PS: 关系代词与关系副词之间并非毫无关联, 两者之间存在密切的联系。
1). 很多情况下关系副词用“介词+which/whom”来代替, 其中的介词由先行词或定语从句
中谓语动词的形式来决定, 例如:
9
The day when I met the famous pop star was the greatest day of my life.
= The day on which I met the famous pop star was the greatest day of my life.
见到这位著名歌星的那天是我一生中最重要的日子。
I shall never forget those years when I lived with her.
= I shall never forget those years during which I lived with her.
我将永远不会忘记我跟她生活的那些岁月。
This is a hall where the medical conference will be held.
= This is a hall in which the medical conference will be held. 这是礼堂, 医学会议将在此
召开。
2). 并非先行词表示时间或地点时都分别用when 或where 来引导相应的定语从句, 若关
系词在修饰表示时间或地点的先行词的定语从句中充当主语、 宾语等而不是状语时, 需
用which 或that 引导相应的定语从句。
例如: Do you still remember the days which/that we spent together in school? 你还记得我
们一起在学校度过的那些日子吗? 先行词the days 表时间, 但是其定语从句的引导词在
定语从句中作宾语而不是状语, 因此不能用when 而应该用which 或that。
3). that 有时可以代替定语从句中的关系副词when, where, why, 且that 常可以省略。
例如: This is the time (when/that) he arrived. 这是他到达的时间。

第十一章、状语从句
第一节 基本知识与基本概念
【什么是状语从句?】
状语一般指的是在句子中起着副词作用的成分。顾名思义,状语从句就是在句子中像
副词那样修饰主句的从句。在实际使用中,状语从句一般可以分为:时间、地点、条件、
原因、结果、目的、让步、比较、方式状语从句等。
【状语从句的基本出题思路】
状语从句主要考查的是考生准确地判断主句和从句之间关系的能力。即考生应该能准确
地定位该从句是何种状语从句,进而准确地选择适当的选项。 如:
I always take some money with me _______ I got fined on the road.
A. so that
B. in case C.
before D.
where
答案:B。
解析:这是一个典型的状语从句的考题。四个选项中,A 表示的是目的,
“为了”;B 是条件,“以防”;C 是时间,“在…之前”;D 是地点。题干的意思是“我带
一点钱,以防在路上挨罚。”所以答案应该是B。
从这个典型题上可以看出,状语从句题目的关键在于两个坎,其一是翻译,即能够准确地
翻译题干的能力;其二是记忆,即准确地记住每一个连接词的意义和功能。二者缺一不可。
可以看作是解决状语从句题目的金钥匙。
【高考在状语从句上考查得重点】
从2000年到2006年,全国各地的高考单项选择题中,状语从句一直是一个
很稳定的考点,复现率几乎是100%。从题目的数量上看,时间状语从句等几个是绝对

“主力”。请看下表:

我们基本上可以看出,考查比较多的状语从句多是引导词特别丰富多彩的从句。因此,
我们学习的重点也应该放在这些引导词多变的从句上。对一些重点地引导词给予特别的注
意。
【时间状语从句的引导词】
after, before, once, since, till, until, when, whenever, while, as soon as, immediately,
directly, instantly, the moment, the minute, the second, the instant, the day, the year, every
time, each time, by the time, next time, last time, the first time, no sooner…than, hardly…
when, scarcely… when, barely…when.
【让步状语从句的引导词】

第二节
考点分类解析
【考点一:when, while, as 的区别问题】
三者都有“当…时候”之意。但when 后面既可以跟瞬间性动词,也可以跟延续性动词;
while 和as 后面都只能跟延续性动词,且while 侧重于两种情况的对比而as 则强调的是两
个动作同步进行。如:
I was reading a book when my father came in.
I was reading a book while my wife was preparing dinner.
Tom sang a popular song as he went home.
【考点二:名词作连词用引导时间状语从句的问题】
the moment, the minute, the second, the instant, the day, the year, every time, each time,
by the time, next time, last time, the first time 等名词经常可以作连词用引导时间状语从句。
如:
I gave her the money I owed her the moment I met her.
He was reading some book every time I saw him.
Your uncle will have left for New York by the time you arrive.
Jack was pretty fat the last time we saw each other.
【考点三:副词作连词用引导时间状语从句的问题】
immediately, directly, instantly
等副词经常被用作连词来引导时间状语从句,意思与 “as
soon as”相似。如:
The girl rushed into the room immediately she heard the shout.
Mike drove home to watch the live game instantly he finished his work.
【考点四:hardly…when…与no sooner… than…的区别问题】
这两个结构的意思相同,都有“as soon as”的意思。不过,需要注意的有两个细节:一、
当hardly 和no sooner 放在句首时,后面应该跟上过去完成时的倒装结构。二、后面的when
和than 不能互换。这一点需要死记硬背。
另外,hardly…when…还有几个变体,scarcely… when, barely…when,意思何用法完全
一致。如:
We had hardly begun when we were told to stop.
(不倒装结构)
Hardly had we begun when we were told to stop. (倒装结构)
No sooner had we begun than we were told to stop.
【考点五:与since 有关的考点问题】
since 在引导时间状语从句时,一般指的是“从过去的某一点时间以来”的概念。所以,
从句常用一般过去时,主句常用一般时态或完成时态。如:
I have never seen him again since he left here.
You hometown has changed a lot since you last saw it.
It is years since I enjoyed myself so much.
It is five years since he drove a plane.
1
如果是表示到过去某一时间前的情况,则主句用过去时,从句用过去完成时。如:
It was quite a long time since they had got to know each other.
It was only a few months since he wife passed away.
还有一个非常令同学们挠头的问题,就是since 引导的时间状语从句中不用瞬间性动词,
而用延续性动词,这时候的翻译就是问题了。如:
How long is it since you smoked?
你不抽烟多长时间了?
It is quite a few years since he was married.
他离婚已有好几年了。
It is almost ten years since I studied in that university.
我从那所大学毕业已经快有10 年了。
It is twenty years since I was a soldier, so I don’t know how to use a gun now.
我退役都20 年了,所以都不会用枪了。
【考点六:before 作连词用的问题】
before
作介词的用法大家一般都没有什么问题.它在作连词时表示时间上 “在…之前”。
经常翻译成 “…才…”或 “…就…”.有时候也有可能翻译成 “不愿”,相当于 rather than” 。
如:
The thief rushed off the bus before the policeman caught him.
警察还没来得及抓住他,小偷就窜下了汽车。
The girl waited for more than 3 hours before the man turned up.
姑娘等了3个多小时小伙子才露面。
It will be more than a decade before everything returns to normal.
要再过十几年一切才能恢复正常。
Let me tell you the news before I forget.
趁我还没忘记,告诉你点消息。
I would shoot myself before I apologize to him.
我宁死也不向他道歉。
【考点七:与until 相关的考点问题】
一、not…until 结构:
He didn’t appear until the concert ended.
Mary didn’t get married until she was in her thirties.
二、not… until 结构的倒装句:
Not until the concert ended did he appear.
Not until she was in her thirties did Mary get married.
三、not … until 结构的倒装句的强调句型:
It was not until the concert ended that he appeared.
It was not until she was in her thirties that Mary got married.
【考点八:for 用作连词的问题】
because, since, as, for 均可以引导时间状语从句。但有其细微的区别。
Because 表示直接原因,回答why 提出的问题;一般放在主句之后,也可单独存在。
如:
We didn’t come on time because our car broke down on the way.
They stayed at home because the weather was not suitable for a picnic.
Since 则侧重于主句,从句表示显然的或已知的理由,经常翻译成“既然”。如:
Since everyone is here, let get started.
Since you have known everything, I will shut up.
1
As 一般可以被看作是because 的非正式语气用词。用法和because 差不多。如:
As it was late, I have to go.
For 多表示附加或推断的理由,引导的分句前常有逗号,且通常不放在句首。如:
It must be very late, for the street is empty.
It must have rained last night, for the ground is wet.
He must have passed the test, for he is all smiles today.
The day breaks, for the birds are singing.
【考点九:when 引导条件状语从句的问题】
when 在引导从句时,一般都表示时间。但也有一些考题考查它表示条件的一面,这时,
它的意思是:“既然;考虑到”,差不多等于since, considering that。如:
How can they learn anything when they spend all their spare time watching television?
Why do you want a new car when you have such an expensive one?
【考点十:结果状语从句用so…that 还是用such…that 的问题】
在二者修饰可数名词单数时,大家一般都没有问题,因为,这时我们有不定冠词a 作
为提示,如:
This is such a beautiful watch that we all love it.
This is so beautiful a watch that we all love it.
但是,当他们修饰的可数名词复数或不可数名词时,就没有这个a 来作参照物了。这
时,一律用such。如:
It was such good weather that we decided to camp in the mountains.
They are such perfect books that many people are rushing to buy them.
当然,还有例外,那就是当名词前的限定词是many, much, few, little(少)时,用so。如:
He had so many friends here that it was impossible to invite everyone.
It is pretty shocking to see that in such a rich country there should be so many beggars.
There was so much pressure on his mind that he suffered insomnia(失眠症).
【考点十一:as 引导让步状语从句的问题】
as 引导让步状语从句时,句子顺序比较特殊:词+as(though)+主语+谓语,...。这个
“词”,可以是非常丰富的:名词、形容词、动词、副词等。值得一提的是,如果是可数名
词单数放在前面,一般不用不定冠词。如:
Girl as she is, she is very aggressive. =Although she is a girl, ….
Young as he is, he has made many major discoveries. = Although he is young, ….
Hard as you may try, you can never beat him. = Although you may try hard, ….
Try as you may, you can never beat him. = Although you may try, ….
注意:这个句型中的as 都可以换成though,但不是although。
【考点十二:while 引导让步状语从句的问题】
while 在引导不同的从句时有着不同的意思和功能。在正式的书面文体中,while 经常
被用来代替although 引导让步状语从句。如:
While I admit that there are problems, I don’t agree that they can’t be solved.
While teaching seems easy to do, it is fairly difficult to be a qualified teacher.

第十二章、直接引语和间接引语
引述某人的话一般采用两种形式:一种是直接引语(Direct Speech ),即原封不动地引用原
话,把它放在引号内;另一种是间接引语(Indirect Speech),即用自己的话加以转述,被转述
的内容不放在引号内。
一、 直接引语变间接引语
A. 陈述句的间接引语
直接引语是陈述句,变为间接引语时,在多数情况下都构成一个that 引导的宾语从句,引
述动词通常是say, tell 等。与此同时,间接引语中的人称、时态和其他方面也要相应有所变化。
The foreigner aid to me, I like Beijing very much. 那老外告诉我:我很喜欢北京。
→ The foreigner told me that he she liked Beijing very much. 那老外告诉我说他(她)很喜欢
北京。
She said, We are very fond of sports. 她说:我们都喜欢体育运动。
→ She said that they were very fond of sports. 她说他(她)们都喜欢体运动。

→ He said he would go over the grammar lesson once again. 他说他将要把语法课再复习一
遍。(that 可省略)
B. 疑问句的间接引语
1.一般疑问句和反意疑问句
一般疑问句改为间接引语时,要用陈述语序,并要加连词if 或 whether,其主句动词常用ask,
wonder, want to know, didn't know 等。句末不用问号。
My teacher asked me, Do you like American country music 我老师问我:你喜欢美国乡村音乐
吗?
→ My teacher asked me if/whether I liked American country music. 我老师问我是否喜欢美
1
国乡村音乐。
You haven't been to Beijing, have you asked he. 他问:你没去过北,是吗?
→ He asked me if/whether I had been to Beijing. 他问我是否去过北京。
2.否定的一般疑问句和选择问句
如果直接引语为否定的一般问句或选择疑问句时,用whether…or 连接。
She said, Don't you know my telephone number 她说:你难道不知道我的电话号码吗?
→ She asked me whether I knew her telephone number or not. 她问我是知道她的电话号码。
Do you like this one or that one Tom asked. 汤姆问:你是喜欢这个还是那个?
→ Tom asked me whether I liked this one or that one. 汤姆问我是喜欢这个还是那个。
3.特殊疑问句
间接引语为特殊疑问句时,间接引语前仍然用特殊疑问词作为连词引导宾语从句,注意从句
必须用陈述语序,主句谓语动词常用ask。
He asked, How do you like it 他问:你觉得怎样?
→ He asked me how I liked it. 他问我觉得它怎样。
She asked me, What's the matter with you 她问我:你怎么啦?
→ She asked me what was the matter with me. 她问我我怎么啦。
How many books do you have she asked. 她问:你有多少本书?
→ She asked me how many books I had. 她问我有多少本。
4. 其它
英语中有些疑问句并非提出疑问,而是表示请求、劝告、建议等。这种疑问句变为间接引语
时,往往采用其他的形式。
①.suggest doing

→ Michael suggested going to the film tonight. 迈克尔建议今晚都去看电影。

He offered to post the letter. 他主动提出寄信。
④.ask sb to do
Will you please bring your reference book here tomorrow she said to me. 她对我说:劳驾你明
天把你的参考书带来好吗?
→ She asked me to take my reference book there the next day. 她让我第二天把我的参考书带
去。
C. 祈使句的间接引语
1 .直接引语为祈使句时,间接引语往往用复合宾来表示,其结构为主语+谓语+宾语+宾语补
1
足语(动词不定式)。引述动词可根据口气选用tell, ask, order, command, request
等词,句中
please 去掉。
She said to me, Please have a rest. 她对我说:请休息一下。

Don't all answer at once, she said to the pupils.
她对学生说:大家不要齐声回答。→ She told
the pupils not to answer all at once. 她叫学生不要齐声回答。
2 .带有let 的祈使句(表示请求,建议或命令),可用suggest + -ing 形式或suggest +that 从
句来表示其相应的意思。

→ The girl suggested going for a walk. 这女孩建议去散散步。
The teacher said, Let Lily tidy the classroom. 老师说:让莉莉整理教室。
→ The teacher suggested that Lily should tidy the classroom. 老师建议让莉莉整理教室。

→ He called for help. 他大声呼救。
What terrible weather it is! he said. 他说:多么糟糕的天气!
→ He complained about the terrible weather. 他抱怨这糟糕的天气。

第十三章 倒 装
英语的基本语序是“主语+谓语”,如果将谓语的一部分或全部放在主语之前,这种语序叫
倒装。倒装既是一种语法手段,也是一种修辞手段,用于表示一定的句子结构或强调某一句子
成分。
一. 倒装的原因
A. 语法倒装
由于语法结构的需要,将谓语的全部或一部分移到主语之前。
1. 一般疑问句
当我们把一个肯定句转变为疑问句时,常把肯定句中的助动词或情态动词放在句首。这类助
动词或情态动词包括:be, have, can, do, shall, will, may, must, dare, need,
ought 或 used 等。
He will do it.
——Will he do it 他会做这件事吗?
This is my mobile phone number.
——Is this your mobile phone number? 这是你的手机号码吗?
提示:
如果肯定句中没有助动词或情态动词时, 我们可以在句首用do 的某种形式,以构成倒装语
序。
Jack likes to eat fish. 杰克喜欢吃鱼。
——Does Jack like to eat fish 杰克喜欢吃鱼吗?
2 . 特殊疑问句
特殊疑问句的构成:特殊疑问词 + 一般疑问句
What does he like to eat 他喜欢吃什么?
1
When will they go to the Great Wall 他们什么时候去长城?
Where did you go last night 昨晚你去哪里了?
提示:如果疑问代词在句中做主语,句子不要倒装。
Who is not coming to dinner tonight 今晚谁不来吃饭?
3. 反意问句
在反意问句中,用一般疑问句的形式,前后两分句的主语,人称要一致。前一分句是肯定,
反意问句用否定形式,并一定要缩写;前一分句是否定, 反意问句用肯定形式。
Everything is ready, isn't it 一切都准备好了,是吗?
Bobbie seldom got drunk, did he 博比很少喝醉,是吗?
You had a wonderful time last night, didn't you 昨天晚上你玩得很愉快,是吗?
4.感叹句
英语中的感叹句有时也通过倒装的形式来表达。
Here comes Santa Clause! 圣诞老人来啦!(谓语前置)
What bad manners they have!
他们真没礼貌!(宾语前置)
How happy the children are !孩子们多么幸福啊!(表语前置)
5. 某些含有“really”意义的简短表达,也用倒装语序,但它们并不需要任何回答。
--- Elsa saw a snake last night. 埃尔莎昨天晚上看到一条蛇。
--- Did she 真的吗?
--- Our new boss is very easygoing. 我们的新老板人很随和。
--- Is he 是吗?
--- Philip has already finished his report. 菲利普已经完成了他的报告。
--- Has he 真的吗?
6 .以引导词there 引起的陈述句
There was nobody in the room. 房间里没有人。
In the valley there lies a river. 山谷里有一条河。
There is no harm in trying. 不妨一试。
7 .虚拟条件句
①在虚拟语气中,如果不用if,且从句中有were, had, should 等助动词,需将助动词were, had,
should 放在句首,用倒装语序。
If I were a bird, I could fly freely.
——Were I a bird, I could fly freely. 假如我是一只小鸟,我就能自由翱翔。
If I had known it earlier, I would have lent him the money.
——Had I known it earlier, I wouldn 誸 have lent him the money. 要是我早知道这件事,我
就不会把钱借给他了.
②表示祝愿的一些句子
Long live peace! 和平万岁!
May our friendship be ever lasting! 愿我们的友谊长存!
8.直接引语的一部分或全部放在句首时
1
You should have been here five minutes ago,said the teacher.
老师说:“你5 分钟之前就该来
了。”
Douglas,said the teacher, do be careful next time. “道格拉斯,”老师说道,“下次一定要小心。”
B. 修辞倒装
为了突出重要的内容,或为了生动地描写动作,人们往往采用修辞倒装。
1 .为了强调
Never before have we seen such a sight. 以前我们从来没有见过这样的情景。
Only in this way can we learn English well. 只有用这种方法,我们才能学好英语。
Selfish does our life make us students. 是生活把我们的学生变得如此自私。
2.为了生动流畅

Before us lay a lot of difficulties. 我们面前有很多困难。
Happy are those who are contented. 知足者常乐。
Next came a man in his forties. 接下去进来一个四十多岁的男人。
Long did we wait before hearing from her. 我们等了很久才收到她的信。
C. 一些句型的固定用法
Such were his last words. 他最后的话就是这样。
Hardly had I got home when the telephone rang. 我一到家,电话就响了。
How came it that she knew the secret 她怎么会知道那个秘密的?
二. 倒装的种类
英语最基本的词序是主语在谓语动词的前面。如果将句子的主语和谓语完全颠倒过来,这
称之为完全倒装。如果只将助动词或情态动词移至主语之前,谓语的其他部分仍保留在主语的
后面,这称之为部分倒装。
A. 完全倒装
完全倒装是将谓语的全部放在主语之前,此结构通常只用于一般现在时和一般过去时两种。
On her left sat her husband. 她左边坐着她丈夫。
Here is the book you want. 你要的书在这儿。
Down went the small boat. 小船沉下去了。
B. 部分倒装
部分倒装是指将谓语的一部分,如助动词或情态动词,移至主语之前。
Only by working hard can one succeed. 只有努力才能成功。
Never have I seen her before. 我以前没见过她。
提示:如果句中的谓语没有助动词或情态动词,则需添加助动词do, does 或did,并将其置
于主语之前。
Well do I remember the day I joined the League. 入团的那一天,我记忆犹新。
Little did I think that he could be back alive 我没有想到他竟能活着回来。

第十四章 强 调
强调是有效地进行思想交流的重要手段之一。人们在交际过程中,为了使自己的思想能为
听者或读者恰当的理解,必须突出重要的内容,这就需要运用强调的手段。
一、 强调手段
在现代英语中,人们可以通过语音手段、词汇手段、语法手段来进行强调。
A. 语音手段
在口语中,人们可以根据交流的需要,通过语句重音来对不同的词语进行强调。例如 She
speaks English well 这句话,可以通过语句重音来分别对不同的词进行强调。

B Of course Jennifer. She speaks English well. ( 重读She,强调“她”)
A Jennifer's been living in Australia for two years.
B She speaks English well but her writing is not very good. ( 重读speaks,强调“说”)
A Jennifer speaks French beautifully.
B She speaks English well, too. ( 重读English,强调“英语”)
A Do you think Jennifer is fit for the job
B Certainly. She speaks English well. ( 重读well,强调“好”)
B. 词汇手段
人们常用一些形容词、副词、否定词等词汇手段来加强语气。

-- Wherever are you going 你究竟到哪里去?
Who can that be 那会是谁呢?
Whoever can that be 那究竟会是谁呢?
4 .副词possibly 用于否定句或疑问句情态动词cancould 后,加强否定或疑问的语气,有“无
论如何, 不管怎样”的意思。
We cannot do it. 那件事我们不能做。
-- We cannot possibly do it. 那件事我们无论如何也不能做。
He can't forget it. 他不会忘记此事。
-- He can't possibly forget it. 他无论如何也不会忘记此事。

疑问句转用作加强语气的陈述句,称之为修辞性疑问句。肯定的修辞疑问句其意义相当于强
调的否定陈述句;而否定的修辞疑问句其意义则相当于强调的肯定陈述句。
Isn't it a modern school 难道这不是一所现代化的学校吗?(= It is really a modern school.)

谁不知道太阳从东方升起?(=Everyone knows
the sun rises in the east.)
一、
it 引导的强调结构
“It is + 被强调部分 + thatwho + 句子其他部分”是使用最广的强调句型。除了谓语动词
不能强调外,句子中其它成分,如主语、状语、宾语或宾语补足语都可以用该句型中加以强调。
A. 用强调结构强调句子成分
1 .强调主语
被强调的主语是人时,可用It iswas ... thatwho ...,但如果被强调的部分既包括人又包括物,
只能用that。
He bought a camera yesterday.
-- It was he thatwho bought a camera yesterday. 是他昨天买了一架照相机。
The famous writer and his works have aroused great interest among the students.
-- It is the famous writer and his works that have aroused great interest among the students.
在学生中引起极大的兴趣的正是这位著名作家以及他的作品。
注意:
强调“I”时谓语动词的变化形式。
It is I who am to blame.
1
It is me who is to blame. 是我该受到责怪。(非正式文体)
2. 强调宾语
She helped me yesterday.
--It was me thatwhom she helped yesterday. 昨天她帮助的人是我。
They often talk about the school and the teachers.
--It is the school and the teachers that they often talk about. 他们经常谈论的是学校和老师。
3. 强调宾语补足语
We elected him chairman of the meeting.
-- It was chairman of the meeting that we elected him. 我们选他是做会议的主席。
We painted the wall white.
It was white that we painted the wall. 我们把墙漆成的是白色。
4. 强调状语
英语中的状语种类很多,一般都可以用It iswas ... that ...来强调。
①时间状语
He left his hometown for Taiwan in his teens. 他十几岁时就离开家乡去了台湾。
-- It was in his teens that he left his hometown for Taiwan.
他是在十几岁时离开家乡去台湾
的。
He let out the secret after the guest had gone away. 客人走后, 他说出了秘密。
-- It was after the guest had gone away that he let out the secret.
是在客人走后,他才说出了秘
密。
提示
如果强调由not…until till 引导的时间状语时,要注意否定前移。
He didn't return to his hometown until after liberation.
-- It was not until after liberation that he returned to his hometown.
他是解放后才回到他家
乡的。
②频率状语
He comes to see me once in a while.
-- It is once in a while that he comes to see me. 他现在是偶尔来看看我。
③地点状语
The car accident happened in this street yesterday.
-- It was in this street that the car accident happened yesterday.
昨天就是在这条街上发生了
汽车事故。
④方式状语

-- It was by turns that they took care of their sick mother. 他们轮流来照看生病的母亲。
⑤目的状语
He got up early to catch the early bus.
--It was to catch the early bus that he got up early. 是为了赶早班车,他才起得很早的。
⑥原因状语
They could not cross the river because the water had risen.
-- It was because the water had risen that they could not cross the river.
正是由于水涨了,他
1
们没有渡过河去。
提示:
在强调结构It iswas ...that ...中,要用because 来引导原因状语从句,不用since 或as。(见第
11 章 状语从句)
⑦其他状语
The tailor made a suit to my own measure.
-- It was to my own measure that the tailor made a suit.
裁缝是按我自己的尺寸做了一套衣
服。
⑧with without 复合结构
“with without+名词代词+其他成分”这种结构,也可以放在It iswas ... that 中,成为被强
调的部分。
He was waiting for his son at the gate, with an umbrella in his hand.
-- It was with an umbrella in his hand that he was waiting for his son at the gate.
他是手里拿
着一把伞在门口等待着他的儿子。
She felt very nervous, with the teacher standing beside her.
It was with the teacher standing beside her that she felt very nervous. 是有老师站在她旁
边,她才感到很紧张的。
B .强调句与定语从句、状语从句等其他句型的区别
有时强调句在形式上和定语从句、状语从句很相似。我们除了从意思上进行区分外,还能根
据强调句结构特点来进行判断,如能去掉It was ...that ... 后,句子仍然通顺,就是强调句。
It was at the railway station that we first met 16 years ago.
是在火车站我们16 年前第一次相逢。(强调句,强调地点状语at the railway station)
It was the railway station where we first met 16 years ago.
这是我们16 年前第一次相逢的火车站。(定语从句,where 是关系副词,在定语从句中做地
点状语)
It was in this street that the car accident happened the other day.
前几天发生汽车事故的就是在这条街上。(强调句,强调地点状语in this street)
It was this street where the car accident happened the other day.
这是前几天汽车事故的那条街。(定语从句,where 是关系副词在定语从句中做地点状语)
It was at midnight that he got home yesterday.
他昨天是半夜到家的。(强调句,强调时间状语at midnight)
It was midnight when he got home yesterday.
昨天他到家时已是半夜。(when 引导的是时间状语从句,it 是代词,指时间)
C. 强调句的一般疑问句和特殊疑问句
1. 强调句的一般疑问句基本句型是:IsWas + it + that +句子其他成分?
Did he see you in the office just now ?
-- Was it in the office that he saw you just now ?他见你的地方是在办公室吗?
Does he often go to the library

Where did you go last night
-- Who was it that told you about it 究竟是谁告诉你这件事的?

--Could it be at home that he was killed 他被杀的地方会是在家里吗?

-- Where might it be that the accident happened ?可能是在什么地方发生这个事故的?

-- Who can it be that is in the office now ?现在还在办公室里的会是谁呢?
二、
what 引导的强调结构
用“what 从句 + be + 被强调成分”或“被强调成分 + be + what 从句”表示强调。
John wants a good rest. 约翰想要好好休息一下。
--What John wants is a good rest. 约翰想要的是好好休息一下。
或: A good rest is what John wants. 好好休息一下正是约翰想要的事。(比较少见)
I'd like you to work on Exercise Two on Page 38. 我要你们做38 页上的练习二。
-- What I'd like you to work on is Exercise Two on Page 38. 我要你们做的作业是38 页上的练
习二。
I need two books. 我要两本书。
-- What I need are two books. 我要的是两本书。(注意谓语动词的数)
注意:
在这种强调句型中,除了what 外,人们很少使用其他连词。
避免说:Where you should play football is the play ground, not the classroom.
最好说:The place where you should play football is the playground, not the classroom. 你们
踢足球的地方是操场,而不是教室。
避免说:When I read English aloud is early morning.

原因是她身体不好。
1
第十五章 省略
莎士比亚曾经说过:Brevity is the soul of wit. (言以简为贵)。为了使话说得简明扼要,
英语句子中某个单词、短语甚至从句或主句都可以省去。这种省去句子某些成分而保持句
子意思不变的现象,称为省略(ellipsis)。
一、 省略的目的
省略多见于非正式的文体,尤其在对话中,省略是一种十分普遍的现象。英语中的省略
一般说来有三个目的:
A. 避免重复,减少累赘。
省略的主要目的是避免重复,去掉不必要的累赘和繁琐。
Mike said that he would come to school to see me the next day, but he didn't come to
school to see me the next day. 迈克说他第二 天要来学校看我,但是第二天他并没有来学校
看我。
-- Mike said that he would come to school to see me the next day, but he didn't.
迈克说他
第二天要来学校看我,但是他并没有来。(省掉最后九个词,句子简洁多了)
— What did he want yesterday 他昨天要了什么?
— An apple. 一个苹果。(如果回答时说出全文“He wanted an apple yesterday”,便显
得别扭,不自然)
B. 连接紧密,结构紧凑。
1
省略也是使上下文紧密连接的一种修辞手段。
John was the winner in 1994 and Bob in 1998.
约翰是1994 年的获胜者,鲍勃是1998 年
的获胜者。(Bob 后省略了was the winner,句子结构显得比较紧凑)
In some places we stopped in tents for the night, in other places in caves.
我们在有些地方
住在帐篷里过夜,在有些地方住在山洞里。
(in other places 后省略了主语和谓语we stopped
for the night,上下文连接更加紧密)
省略:
回答问题要简洁,并列重复需省略。祈使主语常省略,比较than 后需省略。宾从表从that
勿省略。前后出现同一词,习惯表达需省略。
C.强调重点,突出信息。
省略的另一作用是突出新的信息。
Truth speaks too low, hypocrisy too loud. 真理讲话声太低,虚伪讲话声太高。(后一分句
省略谓语speaks,突出了too loud)
— Have you told him that 你把那告诉他了吗?
— Not yet. 还没有呢。(= I have not told him that yet. 强调not yet )
二、 可省略的成分
省略大致可归纳为功能词的省略和语法结构上的省略两种。在很多情况下,这两种省略
存在着交叉的关系,即有时既是功能词的省略,同时又是语法结构上的省略。
A. 功能词的省略
功能词指的是没有完整意义,但有语法意义的词,如冠词、介词、助动词等。英语句子
结构的简洁,首先表现在功能词的省略上。
1.冠词的省略
They elected John (the) monitor of the class. 他们选约翰当班长。
A man and (a) woman are talking in the office. 办公室一男一女正在谈话。
He could not understand why there was no noise coming from the house, not even the
sound of the radio or (the) television. 他不明白为什么从屋子里一点响声也没传出来,甚至
连收音机和电视机的声音也没有。
提示:
在英语新闻标题、告示中,经常省略冠词。
Chinese President Stresses Role of Working Class
中国国家主席强调工人阶级作用 (新
闻标题 = The Chinese President Stresses the Role of the Working Class)
People Rebuild Homes After Flood
洪水退后人民重建家园(新闻标题 = The People
Rebuild Their Homes After the Flood)
DO NOT SPEAK TO DRIVER WHILE BUS IS IN MOTION
汽车在行驶时请勿和司机
讲话。(告示 = Do not speak to the driver while the bus is in motion)
2.代词的省略
I went to the market, (I) bought something useful, and (I) returned home within an hour.
1
我去了市场,买了点有用的东西,一小时之内就回来了。
They didn't like it, yet (they) said nothing. 他们并不喜欢它,可是什么话也没说。

但我不喜欢最小的那一只。

5 .助动词的省略

Who (do) you think you are
你以为你是谁?(在特殊疑问句中,当主语是第二人称时,
助动词do 可省略)
I (have) got to go now. 我得走了。
6 .不定式符号的省略
I hope to finish my job and (to) go back home.
我希望做完事回家。(当几个不定式并列
时,一般只需在第一个不定式前用to)
What we could do was (to) get away.
(主语从句中含有do,那么作表语的动词不定式往
往省略to)
We did not dare (to) speak. 我们不敢说话。(dare 作行为动词用时,否定式可省略to)
There is nothing to do but (to) obey the orders. 除了服从命令之外,我们别无他法。(介词
but 前如有do,but 后可省略to)
注意:
当两个并列的不定式在意义上表示对比关系时,后面的不定式一般不省略to。
To be or not to be, that is the question. 活着还是死亡,这就是问题所在。(莎士比亚)
It was better to laugh than to cry. 笑比哭好。
7 .介词的省略

8 .引导词there 的省略

(There) Must be somebody waiting for you. 肯定有人在等你。
B. 句子成分的省略
为了避免重复,或者为了使某一内容显要注目,可以省略某些句子成分而保持句子原意
不变。
1 .省略主语
Hope so. 希望如此。(= I hope so.)
Beg your pardon. 请你原谅。(= I beg your pardon.)
Take care! 当心!(= You take care.)

1

在还是世界上人口最多的国家。 (= China has been the most populous country in the world

三、 省略在句子中的运用
在一个句子中,省略可分为依赖上下文省略和不依赖上下文省略两种。前者省略的部分
可在句子中找到,但后者可能找不到。
A. 简单句中的省略
1 .依赖上下文的省略,在对话中最为常用。
Like more beer 再要点啤酒吗?(= Would you like more beer)
— Would you mind if I used your telephone 用一下你的电话,你介意吗?
— Not at all. 一点也不。(= I do not mind at all.)
— Will he pass this examination 他这次考试会通过吗?
— Probably. 大概会的。(= He will probably pass the examination.)
提示:
被省略的部分一般可以根据上下文在句子中补上,但有时省略结构已经定型,如果把省
略部分补上,反而显得累赘或不合乎习惯。
1
An hour in the morning is worth two in the evening.
一日之计在于晨。(在two 后补上
hours 显得罗嗦。)
It is now ten to seven. 现在七点十分。
(如说It is now ten minutes to seven o'clock. 显得累
赘)
No parking. 禁止停车。(= No parking is allowed here. 告示用语,补上不合乎习惯。)
2 .不依赖于上下文的省略。
All aboard! 请上船。(=All go aboard. 省略谓语)
What exciting news!
多么令人激动的消息啊!(= What exciting news it is! 省略主语+谓

注意:
由连词before 和after 引导的时间状语从句,如省略了主语和be 之后,before 和after 就
成了介词。

just as foolishly. 不仅仅只是瞎子才犯如此愚蠢的错误。有时候,眼睛看得见的人也做出同
样的蠢事。(foolishly 后省略了as blind men act)
注意:
在这类句子中,被省略的部分大多数是不表示出来的。如果把省略部分补上,反而不合
乎习惯。

The sooner (this is done), the better (it will be). 越快越好。

第十六章 主谓一致
主谓一致(concord),是指主语和谓语动词要保持人称和数上的一致。英语中动词be 的
变化形式最多,如I am,You are,He is,We are 等。主语I 一定要用am 的动词形式,这就
叫“主谓一致”。
一、 主谓一致的三个原则
主谓一致涉及三个基本原则,即语法一致原则(principle of grammatical concord)、意义
一致原则(principle of notional concord)和就近原则(principle of proximity)。
A. 语法一致
语法一致是指主语和谓语在单复数形式上的一致关系,主语为单数形式,谓语动词用单数
形式;反之,谓语动词用复数形式。
My child has no intention of spending a vacation with me. 我的孩子不想与我一起度假。
My children have no intention of spending a vacation with me.
我的孩子们不想与我一起度
假。
B. 意义一致
意义一致是说谓语动词的单、复数要取决于主语所表达的概念,而不取决于表面上的语法
标记。
1. 主语形式虽为单数,但意义为复数,谓语动词用复数。
The only people who are interested in the book seem to be lawyers.
唯一对这本书感兴趣的
人好像是律师。
The majority of primary school teachers are women. 大多数小学老师都是女的。
1
2. 主语形式为复数,而意义上却是单数,谓语动词用单数。
No news is good news.
没有消息就是好消息。
Billiards is becoming more and more popular in some cities.
桌球在一些城市里越来越受欢
迎。
C. 就近原则
就近原则是指当主语由两个或两个以上名词或代词组成时,谓语动词的数要与它紧邻的名
词或代词的数一致。
There is a square table and some chairs in the center of the dining-room.
餐厅中央有一张
方桌和几把椅子。
Either your students or William knows this. 不是你的学生就是威廉知道这件事。
注意:
一般说来,究竟何时采用何种原则,应视英语习惯用法而定。但在实际使用中,如果对上
述三种原则捉摸不定,遵循语法一致的原则是一种比较稳妥的方法。
二、 并列主语的主谓一致
A. 由and 连接的并列主语
1. 用and(或both... and)连接并列主语时,谓语动词通常用复数。
A hammer and a saw are useful tools. 榔头和锯子都是有用的工具。
Both industry and agriculture have been greatly developed these years.
这几年工农业大大
地发展了。
①当and 连接的两个名词是指组合到一起的一件完整的或成套的东西,或表示同一个人或
一种概念时,谓语动词要用单数形式。
The writer and teacher is speaking at the meeting. 这位教师兼作家正在会上发言。
A needle and thread was given to her, but she could not sew the button on.
针线给了她,但
她不会把钮扣缝起来。(a needle and thread 作为同一件东西对待)
Going to bed early and getting up early is a good habit. 早睡早起是个好习惯。
(going to bed
early and getting up early 被看成同一概念)
Bread and butter is his usual breakfast. 他经常以黄油面包当早餐。
A cart and horse was seen in the distance. 远方看见一辆马车。
必背:
英语中并列结构表示整体概念的有:
iron and steel 钢铁
law and order 治安
bread and butter 黄油面包
a watch and chain 一块带链的表
a knife and fork 刀叉
a coat and tie 配有领带的上衣
aim and end 目的
truth and honesty 真诚
1
2. 一个名词为几个并列形容词所修饰时,这时主语和谓语动词的一致关系一般遵循语法一
致的原则。
Clever and slow students are treated alike. 聪明的和迟钝的学生都受到相同的对待。
A black and white kitten was found in the garden yesterday.
昨天在花园里发现一只黑白色
的小花猫。
比较:
A black and a white dogs are playing in the yard.
一只黑狗和一只白狗正在院子里玩。(两
只狗)
A black and white dog is playing in the yard. 一只黑白花狗正在院子里玩。(一只狗)
3 .在each... and each ..., every...and every..., no...and no... 等结构之后,谓语动词用单数形
式。
Each boy and each girl has an apple. 每个男孩和女孩都有苹果。
Every hour and every minute is precious. 每一小时,每一分钟,都很宝贵。
No bird and no beast is seen on the lonely island. 荒岛上既看不到鸟也看不到野兽。
4. 带有并列动词的what 从句作主语时,要根据意义一致的原则决定动词的数。
What he says and does do not agree. 他的言行不一致。(具体指他说的话和他做的事)
What he says and does does not concern me. 他的言行与我无关。(泛指他的为人)
5 .在某些成语中,一些并列主语用and 相连时,其后谓语用单数形式。
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. 光工作不玩耍,聪明的孩子也会变傻。
Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
早睡早起使人健康、
富有、聪慧。
B. 以or, either...or, neither...nor, not...but, not only...but also 等连接的名词(代词)作并
列主语时,谓语动词的单复数应根据就近一致的原则。
Neither he nor I am willing to go shopping today. 他和我今天都不愿去购物。
--Are either you or he to go there -- 是你还是他将去那里?
--Neither is. -- 一个也不去。
Not only the Writer brothers but also their father was there.
不只是莱特兄弟在那里,连他
们的父亲也在。
Not the students but their teatrers but also their father was there.
被邀请去参加晚会的不是学生(们),而是他们的老师。
C.主语后跟有as well as, as much as, no less than, along with, like, rather than, together
with, besides, including, in addition to 等引导的词组时,其谓语动词的单、复数按主语的单、
复数而定,也就是说,谓语动词的数不受这些词组的影响。

三、 单一主语的主谓一致
单数的主语跟单数的动词,复数的主语跟复数的动词,这是符合语法一致的原则。但在实
际运用中,往往会出现较为复杂的情况:
A. 形复意单的名词作主语
形复意单的名词作主语(即形式为复数,意义为单数),按意义一致的原则,用作单数意义
时,谓语用单数,反之,谓语用复数。

The pair of shoes is under the bed. 这双鞋在床下。
4. 单、复数同形名词作主语时,按意义一致的原则,用作单数意义时,谓语用单数;用作

government, group, party, population, team, union 等。

一些被人类使用的能量来自于
太阳
。
注意:
在 one of+复数名词+whothatwhich 引导的定语从句结构中,关系代词whothatwhich 的先
行词是靠近它的复数名词而不是one,因此,从句中的动词应该是复数形式。但当one 之前有
the, the only 等修饰语时,关系代词的先行词是one,而不是靠近它的复数名词,因此从句的
动词应是单数形式。

定。

10.“a lot of, lots of, plenty of, a heap of, a mass of, half of +名词”构成的短语作主语时,其
谓语动词要与短语中of 后面的名词的数保持一致,这是因为of 后面的名词是中心词,而of

形式。

打篮球。

poor, the rich, the blind, the young, the old, the sick, the wounded, the injured, the unemployed,
the dying, the living 等。当这种结构作主语,表示一类人时,谓语动词常用复数形式;但也
