Lesson 17 Always young
课文内容:
My aunt Jennifer is an actress. She must be at least thirty-five years old. In spite of this, she often appears on the stage as a young girl. Jennifer will have to take part in a new play soon. This time, she will be a girl of seventeen. In the play, she must appear in a bright red dress and long black stockings. Last year in another play, she had to wear short socks and a bright, orange-coloured dress. If anyone ever asked her how old she is, she always answers, ‘My dear, it must be terrible to be grown up!'
本文语法:情态动词must和have to的用法
语法归纳:must通常表示主观上的“必须”,have to通常表示客观上的“不得不”。
1)has / have to = has / have got to,后者常常用于口 语中。
2)has / have to 的过去式为had to。
例如:You must clean your own room.你必须打扫你的房间了。
I have to leave at 6 o’clock this afternoon.今天下午六点钟我必须得走。
Last winter, we had to wear gloves and scarf.去年冬天,我们不得不戴上手套和围巾。
Have you got to go? 你一定要去吗?
逐句精讲:
1.My aunt Jennifer is an actress.
我的姑姑詹妮弗是一个演员。
语言点1 构词法总结:以-er,-or,-ce结尾表人的名词常指男性,而以-ess结尾表人的名词常指女性: waiter男服务员 waitress女服务员 actor男演员 actress女演员 prince王子 princess公主 lion狮子 lioness母狮子 god神 goddess 女神 policeman * policewoman 女*
学习小贴士: teacher(教师)、doctor(医生)、professor(教授)不分男女。
语言点2 注意actor, actress前不定冠词用an,并且需要连续。
2.She must be at least thirty-five years old.
她至少也有35岁了
语言点1 must be很可能是,一定是
1)must be对一般现在事实的推测:He must be an actor.他一定是一个演员。
2)must be doing对现在正在进行事情的推测:My sister must be watching TV.我的妹妹一定是在看电视。
3)must have done 对一般过去事实的推测:They must have arrived at the railway station. 他们肯定已经到火车站了。
4)must have been doing 对过去正在进行事情的推测:Last year he must have been learning GRE.去年他肯定是在学GRE。
5)must have been doing 对过去正在进行事情的推测:Last year he must have been learning GRE去年他肯定是在学GRE。
语言点2 比较学习:“at +最髙级”表示“最……,至……”
1)at least 至少:You must read this article at least three times.你必须把这篇文章至少读三遍。
2)at most至多:I can stay here for at most an hour.我最多只能在这里待上一个小时。
3)at first 首先:At first it was very cold, but then it got hotter. 一开始天气很冷,但后来变热了。
4)at last 最后:I had to give all my dollars to the robber at last.最后我不得已把所有的美金都给了抢劫者。
5)at best 最有可能,充其量:We can not arrive at the Capital Airport before 10 o’clock at best.我们无论如何十点之前也到不了首都机场。
6)at worst 最坏的情况,最差:At worst we still have one train ticket.作最坏的打算,我们仍然还有一张火车票。
3.In spite of this, she often appears on the stage as a young girl.
尽管如此,她依然经常在舞台上扮演小姑娘。
语言点1 in spite of = despite意为“尽管如此”,后面经常接名词(短语)或代词(短语)。
试译:尽管已经上了年纪,我爷爷依然每天都要劳动。
Despite old age, my grandfather still works hard every day.
再译:尽管天气恶劣,我们还是及时赶到了办公室。
In spite of terrible weather, we arrived at the office in time.
语言点2 扮演……角色:appear on the stage as sb, / perform in the role of …
Because he looks very young, he often performs in the role of little boy.
因为他长得很年轻,所以常常扮演小男孩的角色。 4.Jennifer will have to take part in a new play soon.
詹妮弗很快又出演一部新戏了。
语言点 1 take part in a play = perform a play 演戏
Last night the pupils performed a good play.昨天晚上,小学生们演了一场好戏。
语言点2 have to take part in a new play 指詹妮弗作为一个职业演员因为工作需要,客观上不得不出演。对比主观上“必须” :Must we study hard every day?我们是不是每天都得努力学习呢?
5.This time, she will be a girl of seventeen.
这回,她要演一个17岁的女孩儿。
语言点 表达年龄的短语(以17岁的女孩为例):
1) a girl 17 years old (s 不可省) 2) a 17-year-old girl 3) a girl of 17 4) a girl aged 17
6.In the play, she must appear in a bright red dress and long black stockings.
在戏里,她得穿上鲜红的裙子和黑色的长筒袜。
语言点1 关于穿着的表达:
appear in...:I often appear in white shirt.我炫常穿白衬衫。
dress in... :My sister dresses in a blue skirt today.今天我姐姐穿着一条蓝色的裙子
has / have sth. on:He has a nice suit on.他穿着一件漂亮的西装。
wear sth.: The English teacher wears a light gray coat.英语老师穿着一件浅灰色的外套
be in +颜色/衣服:This girl is in dark jeans.这个女孩子穿着深色的牛仔裨。
语言点2 long +black + stockings, long和black两个形容词都用来修饰stockings。多个形容词作前置定语举例:
spare old clothes 多余的旧衣服; dark red new socks 深红色的新短袜;high smart little girl 高个的聪明小女孩 7.Last year in another play, she had to wear short socks and a bright, orange-coloured dress.
去年,在另一部戏里,她不得不穿短袜和一件鲜艳的橘*衣服。
语言点1 last year是过去时间状语,所以句中用have to的过去式had to。
1)“had to (have to的过去式)+动词原形”表示过去不得不做某事:had to wear (过去) 不得不穿;had to finish(过去)不得不完成
试译:今天早上,我不得不等了他三个小时。
This morning I had to wait for him for 3 hours.
2)have to的否定形式:don’t have to。注意:haven’t to是错误的表达。
You don’t have to go there.你不是必须要去那儿。
3)had to的否定形式:didn’t have to。注意:hadn’t to是错误的表达。
语言点2 bright, orange-coloured dress中有一个逗号,在此没有实际的意义,两个形容词都用来修饰dress.
8.If anyone ever asked her how old she is, she always answers, ‘My dear, it must be terrible to be grown up!'
一旦有人问她有多大年纪,她总是回答:“亲爱的,长大*真可怕啊! ”
语言点1 此句中if引导真实条件句,主句用一般现在时表示将来。
语言点2 grow v.生长;grow up长大;grown up长大*(grown为grow的过去分词)
