注：若名词search前有物主代词或冠词等限定词时，多用介词for。

9. be/get caught in a rain / traffic jam遇上雨/交通阻塞

Caught in a rain, he was wet all over. 淋到了一场雨，他全身都湿了。

I was caught in the traffic jam. That’s why I was late. 我遇上阻车了，这就是我迟到的原因。

10. as if = as though 好像 似乎

as if 引导状语或表语从句时，从句内容若是事实用陈述语气，若不是事实就用虚拟语气(be一般用were)。如：

She talked to me in such a way as if we were sisters. 她那样对我说话，就好像我们是姐妹一样。

He opened his mouth as if (he was) to speak. 他张开嘴好像要说话。

四、重要句型详解

1. all(指事物)+定语从句

指事物的all后只能由that引导定语从句;all后接定语从句时常常有这样两个意思：the only thing或everything。如：

…and all there is to eat is a boiled shoe. 身边所有能吃的东西只是一只煮了的鞋子。

He took all there was. 他把所有的都拿去了。

All I want is peace and quiet. 我所要的只是安宁。

2. I will be better off if…要是……我的境况就更好了。

I will be better off if I have enough money because I can buy a computer for my lessons. 我要是有钱，我的境况就更好了，因为我可以买台电脑来做功课。

五、课文难句剖析

1. Do you find it funny to see someone sliding on a banana skin, bumping into someone else round a corner, or falling down a hole in the road?

剖析：(1)句中find 后的it为形式宾语, 形容词funny是宾补，不定式to see…in the road为真正的宾语;(2)作主语的不定式中有see sb. doing句型，sliding…bumping…falling三个现在分词短语都作someone的补足语;(3)要明白三个词的意思：bump into撞到，碰上;around the corner在拐角处;fall down掉下，倒下。

译文：你看到有人被香蕉皮滑倒，或看到有人在拐角处撞到另外一个人，或看到有人掉进路边一个洞里时，你会觉得滑稽可笑吗?

2. However, some actors can astonish us with the deep feelings they can inspire in us for a character they are playing.

剖析：(that) they can inspire in us是定语从句，修饰the deep feeling，意为“在我们身上鼓动起来的深深情感”;(that) they are playing也是定语从句，修饰a character，意为“因为/用他们所演的角色”。inspire…in sb. 鼓动起/激起/唤起某人的……

译文：然而，有些演员能用他们所演的角色在我们身上鼓动起来的深深情感震撼我们。

3. He played a poor and homeless person, who wore large trousers, worn-out shoes and a small round black hat and carried a walking stick.

剖析：这是个长句，who引导一个较长的非限制性定语从句; a small round black hat中的hat前有“大小+形状+颜色”三个形容词作定语，在英语中多个形容词修饰名词时的顺序是：描绘+大小(长短，高低)+形状+年龄(新旧)+颜色+国籍或产地+物质材料+用途+名词。

译文：他扮演的是一位穷苦的无家可归的人，穿着大裤子，破鞋子，头顶着黑色的小圆帽，手里拿着一根手杖。

常见考点考法

六、语法知识归纳

1. 动词-ing形式作表语

(1)动名词作表语，说明主语的内容，指一般性、经常性的动作。如：

His job is teaching English. 他的工作是教英语。(可以说成Teaching English is his job.)

(2)现在分词作表语，相当于形容词，说明主语的性质;可有比较形式，亦可被very等副词所修饰。如：

He was very amusing. 他很有趣。

Skiing is more exciting than skating. 滑雪比溜冰更刺激。

2. 动词-ing形式作定语

(1)动名词作定语表示所修饰名词的功能;被修饰的名词与动名词没有逻辑上的主谓关系;可用“名词+for+动名词”来表达;动名词通常只能位于所修饰的名词前。如：

a swimming pool (=a pool for swimming) 游泳池

a walking stick (=a stick for walking) 手杖

(2)现在分词作定语表示性质、特征、状态或动作;被修饰的名词与现在分词在逻辑上有主谓关系;可换成定语从句来表达;单个的现在分词作定语，常置于被修饰的名词的前面;现在分词短语作定语，须置于被修饰名词的后面。如：

Nobody can stop the running horse (=the horse that is running). 没有人能阻止那匹奔马。(horse与running在逻辑上有主谓关系)

I know the man standing there (=who is standing there.). 我认识站在那儿的那个人。(the man与standing there在逻辑上有主谓关系)

3. 动词-ing形式用作宾语补足语。

(1)动词-ing形式用作宾语补足语，宾语与补足语有主动关系，表示“动作正在发生(即处于发生的过程中)”。如：

She caught them stealing her apples. 她撞见他们偷她的苹果。(them与stealing有主动关系;在“撞见”时，正在偷)

(2)试比较以下句子：

I saw the boy climb the wall. 我看见小孩爬墙。(强调爬墙这件事)

I saw the boy climbing the wall. 我看见小孩正在爬墙。(强调爬墙的情景)
