参考译文
贾斯珀.怀特是少有的相信古代神话的人之一. 他刚在城里买下一所新房子, 但自从搬进去后, 就和汽车及车主们发生了磨擦. 当他夜里回到家时, 总是发现有人把车停在他家大门外. 为此, 他甚至一次也没能把自己的车开进车库. 贾斯珀曾把几块 “禁止停车” 的牌子挂在大门外边, 但没有任何效果. 现在他把一个丑陋的石雕头像放在了大门上边, 这是我见过的最丑陋的头像之一. 我问他那是什么?他告诉我那是蛇发女怪美杜莎. 贾斯珀希望她把汽车和车主们都变成石头. 但到目前为止还没有一个变成石头呢!
【课文讲解】
1、Jasper White is one of those rare people who believe in ancient myths.
one of +名词/代词 其中之一(of后面的名词必须是复数,但与这个结构连用的动词必须是单数)
One of your friends is waiting for you now.
如果在定语从句中出现了one of作为先行词, 它后边的关系代词指代的是后面的复数名词;如果在one of前面还有一修饰词 (the) only,那么后边的关系代词将指代one这个词, 才作单数看
He is the only one of those rare people who believes in ancient myths.
one of 直接作主语的时候, 它是做单数看待的
One of the answers is ture.
One of those people is good.
believe vt. 相信,认为
Do you believe that cats eat grass?
believe in 信任,信赖(人格、力量等);信仰;相信……的存在,相信……的价值
I believe in God. 我信仰上帝。
I’ve never believed in John.
2、He has just bought a new house in the city, but ever since he moved in, he has had trouble with cars and their owners.
ever since =since 从那以后一直(ever since的语气比since强,主句一般用完成时)
I’ve been interested in flying ever since I was a boy.
He left the village last year and has never returned ever since.
have trouble doing 做……有麻烦
have trouble with sb. 和某人相处有麻烦
I have trouble with my roommate.
3、Because of this, he has not been able to get his own car into his garage even once.
because只能作连词用,后面接从句
You can’t remember his name, because you aren’t really thinking.
because of 由于,介词短语,后面不可以跟从句,只能跟名词、代词或动词 “-ing”
He came back early because of the rain.
be able to 的主语一般都是人, 表示有能力去做;can表示天生的或学到的能力时,只能用于现在时和过去时(could),而不可用于将来时。将来时中表示能力时必须用be able to。在现在时和过去时中,can/could与be able to一般可以互换,在完成时中一般用be able to。
Tom is only 9 months old and he is already able to stand up.
I’ll be able to pass my driving test after I’ve had a few lessons.
get sth. into 把……弄进
get his car into his garage
drive the car into 把车子撞上……
I drove the car into the wall /tree.
even once 甚至一次(even 起强调)
4、It is one of the ugliest faces I have ever seen.
“I have ever seen” 做定语从句, 修饰前边的faces
如果关系词在从句中做宾语, 关系词可以省略, 所以 I 前的which被省略
This is the most difficult thing I have ever done.
This is the most terrible news I have ever heard.
有两个结构一定用最高级:
of+范围
of all the students
in+地点
He is the tallest in the room.
5、Jasper hopes that she will turn cars and their owners to stone.
hope 的后面加that从句
turn sth. to… 把前者变成后者
turn the prince to a frog
He was turned to a frog.
They have turned the famous beauty spot to/into an ugly place.
6、But none of them has been turned to stone yet!
none of,neither of做主语时做单数看待
