九年級英語考前復習之如何辨析詞匯
5. alone/ lonely
lonely 與alone的意思比較接近,但在使用時有所區(qū)別:
(1)lonely用作形容詞,意思是"孤單的;寂寞的"。可指心靈上的寂寞,也可指偏僻的地點。在句中既可作表語,也可作定語。
(2)alone 可作形容詞和副詞,意思是"單獨;獨自",不指心理上寂寞的感覺。
She was taken to a lonely island, lived alone, but she never felt lonely.
她被帶到一個荒島上,自己居住,但她從不感到寂寞。
6. before long/ long before
(1)before long 作“不久以后”講,切不要按字面譯為“長時間以前”或“好久以前”。如:
We hope to finish our experiment before long. 我們希望不久(以后)就把實驗做完。
(2)long before 作"很久以前"講。原意為"……以前很久",故也可譯為"老早"。long before 跟before long
不同,前者在其后面可以接名詞或一個從句;當上下文明確時,名詞或從句還可以省略。Before long 則沒有上述搭配用法。
They began the test yesterday, but we had made experiment long before.
我們昨天開始做實驗,但我們在那以前很久就已經做準備了。
7. as/ when/ while
(1)as 是連詞,意思是"當……的時候,一面……一面",(強調同時,一般連續(xù)時間不長),如:
As we were talking about Titanic, our teacher came in.
正當我們談論"泰坦尼克號"這部電影時,教師進來了。
The students sing as they go along. 學生們邊走邊唱。
(2)When和as一樣都是連詞,注意它們的不同。如when"當……的時候"(一般表示動作緊接著發(fā)生);"那時"(等立連詞,前有逗號分開)
I stayed till sunset, when it began to rain. 我一直呆到太陽下山,那時天開始下雨了。
(3)while是"當……時候;和……同時"(強調同時發(fā)生,一般連續(xù)時間較長)
While I was watching TV, he was reading. 當我在看電視的時候,他正在看書。
While there is life, there is hope. 有生命就有希望。
8. beat/win/ hit
(1)beat 是動詞,意思是"連續(xù)地打; 打敗; 敲打"。beat后可接人或隊名。意思是"擊敗對手。"如:
I can beat you at swimming.
(2)win意思是"贏得某個項目",后面常接"match, game"。如:
He won a game. 他勝一局。
We won a match. 我們比賽得勝。
(3)hit意思是"擊中"(有時可表示"打一下")。如:
The mother hit her child out of anger. 媽媽生氣,打了她孩子一下。
9. keep doing/keep on doing
(1)keep doing側重表示"持續(xù)不停地做某事"或"持續(xù)某種狀態(tài)"。如:
The girl kept crying all the time. 那個女孩一直在哭。
The baby kept sleeping about four hours. 這個嬰兒連續(xù)睡了大約四個小時。
(2)keep on doing 表示"總不斷做某事",不表示靜止狀態(tài)。不能與sitting, sleeping, lying, standing這類詞連用。如:
It kept on raining for seven days.
Don't keep on asking such silly questions.
10. get/ turn/ become
這三個詞都可作系動詞用,表示狀態(tài)的變化,后跟表語,但三個詞的用法稍有不同。get強調情感、氣候和環(huán)境的變化;turn強調色彩的變化;而become則強調職務、職稱等的變化。如:
The days are getting shorter and shorter in winter.冬天的白天越來越短。
She couldn't answer the question and her face turned red.她回答不出問題,臉紅了。
When did you become a teacher? - Ten years ago.你什么時候當?shù)睦蠋?十年前。
