【序言】
各位听众朋友,这里是可可早间课堂。我是Juliet。可可早课堂给您讲解的是最基础,最基本的英语知识,是培养您的英语基本技能的地方。历经20多年来的英语学习,我深深感到:基础即是精髓,基本即是精华。
【今日主题】
我们来看第8题:真奇怪,他会这么生气。
It's strange that he feel so angry.
【点评】
[陷阱提示] that he feel so angry 这个主语从句中的谓语是feel,用的是其原形,大家可不要看到主语he,第三人称单数,而且主句中的时态又是一般现在时,就“胸有成竹”画蛇添足地给feel加上个小尾巴“s”。我们中国不是有句话吗:吃力不讨好。您多写个s,费了力,在考试中还要挨扣分。
[短语详析] 该句子中“生气”的表达是非常通俗的用词了“angry”,那么既然出现了angry,我就来简单说说angry的用法。 Be angry with somebody 生某人的气 be angry about something 因某事而生气 be angry with somebody about something(强调: with somebody 放于about something的前面,也就是把“人”放于“事”的前面) 因某事而生某人的气。我们大家都熟悉一个词,和它意思一样的是:mad, mad 的基本意思是“发疯的,疯狂的”,当您生气时,您会失去理智,控制不住自己的感情,就像一个疯子发疯那么激动,由此引申出“生气”这个意思。那么它的用法是:be mad at somebody 生某人的气 be mad about something 因某事而生气 be mad at somebody about something 因某事而生某人的气。Angry 和 mad 这两个词表达“发火,生气”的程度基本上是一样的。
[视野拓展] 哎呀,怎么现在说到angry呢。今天呀,Juliet可真是祸不单行,一整天都在angry中,头都要气炸了。为何呢?听我慢慢道来。
