各位亲爱的听众朋友,欢迎来到点滴英语天天学的《每日原味美语》课堂!Juliet将带您体验美国哈弗大学纽约大学的口语课堂的学习内容。
今天,我们将学习这一课对话的文法。首先,我们还是来听听这段对话:
Jack: Hey! That girl is checking you out! Why don't you go say hello?
Tim: The last time I said hello to a girl in a place like this, she thought I was coming on to her and blew me off before I even had a chance to introduce myself.
Jack : That doesn't surprise me. Usually you strike out after one of using one your stupid pick-up lines!
Tim: I didn't go that far that time. Usually she was just playing hard to get.
Jack: Oh, no. There's Bonnie Margolin. A year ago, some mutual friends of ours fixed us up because they thought we would hit it off. Unfortunately, she was on the rebound, so I didn't want to get involved. I tried to let her down easy but she got furious ans started screaming at me. Oh, no! She's coming this way. Run!
我们来看下面的句子:
1. The last time I said hello to a girl like this...
解析:这句话中含有一个由时间副词when引导的定语从句。先行词是time,像表示时间的词语time, date, day等做先行词,引导词用when,且when可以省略。例如:
I'll never forget the time (when ) we first meet. (我永远也不会忘记我们第一次相遇的时间。)
The date ( when ) he joined the army was August 15th. ( 8月15日是我参军的日子。)
2. Usually you struck out after using one of your stupid pick-up lines.
解析:after是介词,后面接名词,如果后面是动词,就要使用动名词形式,句中的using one of your stupid pick-up lines就是动名词短语。 例如:
After winning the prize, she became famous overnight. (她获奖后,一夜之间就成名了。)
3. She thought I was coming on to her and blew me off before I even had a chance to introduce myself.
解析:这个句子是含有宾语从句的复合句。主句是:she thought,宾语从句是:I was coming on to her and blew me off before I even had a chance to introduce myself。在这个宾语从句中有含有一个由表示的时间的连词before引导的时间状语从句: before I even had a chance to introduce myself。
4. A year ago, some mutual friends of ours fixed us up because they thought we would hit it off.
解析:这是一个含有由表示时间的连词before引导的原因状语从句的复合句。主句是:some mutual friends of ours fixed us up,从句是because they thought we would hit it off。在从句中,又含有一个宾语从句:we would hit it off。
5. I tried to let her down easy but she got furious ans started screaming at me.
解析:这是一个并列句,由连词but连接,表示转折。例如:
I had asked every one but only two came. (我每个人都请了,但是只来了2个人。)
6. There's Bonnie Margolin.
解析:这是倒装句。这个倒装结构是:There+be+somebody or something。这样的倒装结构往往含有强调的意味。例如:
Here is the letter you have been looking forward to. (你企盼已久的信在这儿。)
我们今天的文法学习就到此结束。See you tomorrow!
