重要句型

1．When was he born？

He was born in 1895.

be born出生于（be用过去时态形式was或were，因为人的出生多为发生在过去的事，所以用一般过去时）

The great pianist was born on October 10th, 1890．

那位伟大的钢琴家出生在1890年十月十日。

－Where were you born?   你在哪儿出生的？

－I was born in Beijing．        我出生在北京。

be born 后可接时间也可接地点，但接时间时，要根据具体时间而选定不同的介词。

I was born in 1991.

I was born in March.

I was born in March, 1991.

I was born on March, 5th.

I was born on March. 5th, 1991.

2．Who’s that?

That’s Deng Yaping. She is a great Chinese ping-pong player.

3．How long did Charles Osborne hiccup?

He hiccupped for 69 years 5 months.

“How long” 是就一段时间进行提问，因此回答时用for后面加一段持续的时间。

-- How long did he learn English? 他学英语多久了？

-- He learned English for ten years. 他学英语十年了。

4．You are never too young to start doing things.

你永远不会小到不能做事情的地步。

too…to…  太…而不能

是英语中常用的一种结构，其句型为“too＋形容词或副词原级＋to do …”，译为“太…而（以致）不能…”。它在形式上是肯定的，但在意义上是否定的。

“too…to…”本身已含有否定的意思，因此，不定式前一般不加not．

She is too young not to go to school． （×）

She is too young to go to school． （√）

The water is too hot to drink．水太烫不能喝。

The boy is too young to look after himself.

这个男孩太小了，还不能自己照顾自己。

This house is too big to clean in one day.

这幢房子太大了，一天内打扫不完。

She is too young to go to school. 她太小不能去上学。

when是从句的引导词，意为 “…的时候”。

when的用法：

（1）作疑问副词，意为“什么时候”

When are you leaving? 你什么时候离开？

When did Tony go to the library? 托尼什么时候去的图书馆。

（2）作从属连词，引导一个时间状语从句，意为“当…的时候”

When he was a small boy, he began to perform Beijing Opera．

当他是个小男孩时，他就开始表演京剧。

She toured the U.S. when she was fourteen．

她十四岁时就周游了美国。

6．Arthur is a loving grandfather. He spends all his free time with his grandchildren.

阿瑟是一位慈爱的祖父。他与他的孙子、孙女一起度过了他所有的业余时间。

spend意为“花费…时间/金钱”

我打算在美丽的乡村度过时光。

She spent $ 500 last year．她去年花了五百美元。

（A）spend …on sth 在某物（事）上花费（时间，金钱）

玛丽亚花了五元钱在这本书上。/ 玛丽亚买这本书花了五元。

我经常每天晚上花两个小时做家庭作业。

（B）spend …（in）doing sth． 花（时间或金钱）干某事

I often spend a lot of time （in）doing my homework．

Maria spent five yuan（in）buying the book．

注意，spend的主语必须是人，在第四单元中学过“It takes sb． some time / money to do． ”也可表示“做某事花某人多少时间/金钱”，但take的主语应是物，而不能是人。

It takes me a lot of time to do my homework．

It took Maria five yuan to buy the book．

用于描述人物的形容词

talented（天才的），loving（慈爱的），outstanding（杰出的），

unusual（罕有的），creative（有创造力的），famous（著名的），

great（伟大的，很棒的），beautiful（美丽的）

7． Li Yundi, the well-known Chinese pianist, always loved music．

中国著名钢琴家李云迪总是喜爱音乐。

划线部分是“Li Yundi”的同位语，作进一步解释说明。

8. When he was a small boy, he could hum songs and difficult pieces of music．

当他是个小男孩时，他就能够哼唱歌曲和一些较难的音乐篇章。

9． He began to learn the accordion at the age of four.

     他四岁十就开始学习手风琴。

at the age of 在…岁时

At the age of 4 Mike began to write story books.

迈克四岁时就开始写故事书。

年龄表达方法

（1）用基数词表达年龄，可以加上“…years old”   three years old.

（2）用when引导的从句 when I was three（years old）

（3）at the age of ＋基数词 at the age of three

（4）基数词＋-year-old three-year-old，注意这种表达常作定语

如a three-year-old boy.

10．Li Yundi took part in the 14th Chopin International Piano Competition in Polan. 李云迪在波兰参加了第14届肖邦国际钢琴比赛。

    When did your brother join the Army? 你哥哥什么时候参的军？

11. He was also the first Chinese Pianist in the 70-year history of the Chopin International Piano Competition to receive such an honor.

在肖邦国际钢琴大赛70年的历史中，他也是第一个获得这样荣誉的中国钢琴家。

the 70-year history  70年的历史

其中70-year做history的定语，所以year不能用复数。

如：a four-year old girl  一个四岁女孩。

the 70-year history 70年的历史

12．He stopped playing football because of his sore back.

        他因为喉咙痛而停止了踢足球。

    = He stopped playing football because he had a sore back.

    两个都表原因

    = He didn’t go to school yesterday because of his illness.
