背景知識(shí)簡(jiǎn)介
本單元課文 The Merchant of Venice 是根據(jù)英國(guó)作家威廉莎士比亞 (William Shakespeare)的同名作品改編而成。
《威尼斯商人》寫(xiě)商人安東尼奧為了幫助朋友巴薩尼奧成婚,向高利貸者夏洛克轉(zhuǎn)借現(xiàn)金。夏洛克出于嫉妒,以到期不還可以割安東尼奧身上一磅肉為條件把錢(qián)借給了他。安東尼奧因破產(chǎn)到期無(wú)法償還借款,夏洛克堅(jiān)持照約處罰,巴薩尼奧未婚妻鮑西婭喬裝打扮成律師出庭,終于擊敗夏洛克。《威尼斯商人》是莎士比亞早期的重要作品,大約寫(xiě)于 1596 - 1597 。
安東尼奧是本劇中的肯定形象,他高尚正直、坦白直率,熱心為善、多情尚義、心腸仁慈、重視友誼。當(dāng)夏洛克堅(jiān)持要從他身上割下一磅肉時(shí),他雖然為朋友遭殺身之禍,卻毫無(wú)怨言,仍以朋友的幸福為重。
鮑西亞是莎士比亞理想中的資產(chǎn)階級(jí)新女性,是作者竭力稱(chēng)頌的人物。她渴望個(gè)人幸福,追求以愛(ài)情為基礎(chǔ)的婚姻;她選擇丈夫的條件不是門(mén)第和財(cái)富,而是個(gè)人的人品相貌和才能。她她通情練達(dá),有膽有略,淳樸賢淑,而又樂(lè)觀俏皮。在法庭上,面對(duì)強(qiáng)手,她胸有成竹,氣概非凡,有條不紊,欲擒故縱。
夏洛克是一個(gè)拜金注意者,對(duì)金錢(qián)貪得無(wú)厭,冷酷無(wú)情,吝嗇卑鄙。
莎士比亞是歐洲文藝復(fù)興時(shí)期英國(guó)杰出的戲劇家和詩(shī)人,也是世界文學(xué)史上最杰出的作家之一。他的作品是人類(lèi)文化史上的珍品。他的作品Hamlet 《哈姆雷特》,Romeo and Juliet 《羅密歐與朱麗葉》等反映了當(dāng)時(shí)社會(huì)的現(xiàn)實(shí),表達(dá)了人文主義的社會(huì)政治思想。

on one condition 作“規(guī)定一個(gè)條件”解。其條件就是下一句的“如果 …… 就 ”。此詞組也可以用 on condition that 來(lái)代替。如:… to lend Antonio the money on condition that Antonio made a promise . 作“只有 …… 條件下”, on condition that = only if “條件是 ……”,“如果 ……”(= if ), 是從屬連詞,引導(dǎo)條件狀語(yǔ)從句,但它比 if 更正式。例如:

You may borrow the book on condition that you do not lend it to anyone else.

You must on no condition tell him what has happened. 你在任何情況下都不可以把發(fā)生的事情告訴他。
當(dāng) on no condition 放置句首時(shí),主謂進(jìn)行倒裝。
On no condition can he travel alone.
(33) It is useless trying to argue with Shylock. 試圖跟夏洛克講道理是沒(méi)有用的。
① 在這個(gè)句型中 it 是形式主語(yǔ),后面的動(dòng)名詞或者動(dòng)名詞短語(yǔ)是真正的主語(yǔ)。能以動(dòng)名詞作主語(yǔ)的這類(lèi)句子比較少,主要用在以 no point , no use , no good 等作表語(yǔ)的句子中。例如:
It‘s no use talking without acting. = It’s useless talking without acting. 光說(shuō)不干是沒(méi)有用的。
② it 作形式主語(yǔ)用在 it‘s a waste of time + ing 的句子中。例如:
It’s just a waste of time talking to him.
③ 動(dòng)名詞作主語(yǔ)還用于 there + be + no use ( good , point ) + ing 句型中,例如:
There‘s no use talking about it. = It’s no use talking about it.
(34) If you offered me six times what you have just offered, I would still take my pound of flesh. 即使你愿意給我六倍于剛才提出的錢(qián)數(shù),我仍要我應(yīng)得到的那一磅肉。
times 在此表示三倍以上的倍數(shù)。用 times 表示“甲是乙的幾倍大(長(zhǎng)、寬、高等)”,“甲比乙大(長(zhǎng)、高、寬等)幾倍”,可以用下列句型:
① A is … times the size ( length , height , width ) of B
This street is four times the length of that one. 這條街是那條街的 4 倍長(zhǎng)。(= 這條街比那條街長(zhǎng) 3 倍。)

This package is double the weight of that one. 這個(gè)包裹比那個(gè)包裹的重量多一倍。

動(dòng)詞不定式“注意點(diǎn)”
動(dòng)詞不定式的基本形式是“to + 動(dòng)詞原形”,有時(shí)可不加 to。下面主要就不定式在使用時(shí)需注意的幾個(gè)方面加以說(shuō)明:
Ⅰ動(dòng)詞不定式作主語(yǔ)時(shí),如果要說(shuō)明不定式所表示的動(dòng)作是誰(shuí)做的,可在不定式前加 for 引起的短語(yǔ)。但是當(dāng)形容詞是 nice , kind , clever , foolish 等表是主語(yǔ)的性質(zhì)時(shí),用 of 。例如:
It’s very important for us to learn English well.
It‘s very nice of you to do so.
Ⅱ 可接不定式作賓語(yǔ)的動(dòng)詞主要有 want , like , wish , prefer , hope , try , start , decide , agree , forget , learn 等。例如:
She wanted to borrow my bike.
They decided to try again.
但有些動(dòng)詞或短語(yǔ)后須接動(dòng)名詞作賓語(yǔ),這些詞主要有 finish , enjoy , mind , keep , keep on , feel , like 等。例如:
He can finish drawing a horse in five minutes.
Ⅲ 有些動(dòng)詞后既可接不定式,也可接動(dòng)名詞,但意義有別。現(xiàn)將常見(jiàn)動(dòng)詞辨別如下:
like + 不定式表示具體動(dòng)作,后接動(dòng)名詞表示一般性、習(xí)慣性動(dòng)作。例如:
I’d like to play football this afternoon. (指今天下午這一次)
I like playing football. (指我的愛(ài)好)
forget / remember +不定式表示“忘記 / 記住要去做某事”,接動(dòng)名詞表示“忘記 / 記得做過(guò)某事”。例如:
Don‘t forget to close the door when you leave. 別忘了離開(kāi)時(shí)把門(mén)關(guān)上。
stop +不定式表示“停下正在進(jìn)行的動(dòng)作進(jìn)行下一個(gè)動(dòng)作”,接動(dòng)名詞表示“停止正在做的動(dòng)作”。例如:
We stopped working at noon. 我們?cè)谥形鐣r(shí)停止工作。
We’ve worked all the morning. Let‘s stop to have a rest. 我們干一上午了,停下來(lái)休息一會(huì)兒吧。
Ⅳ 有些“be + 形容詞”結(jié)構(gòu)需用不定式作狀語(yǔ),這些形容詞主要有 sorry , glad , ready , angry 等。例如:
I’m sorry to hear your mother is ill.
Ⅴ 介詞后接動(dòng)名詞作賓語(yǔ),不接不定式。例如:
What about going out for a walk?
Ⅵ 不定式符號(hào)須省略或不可省略的特例:
在 hear , see , watch , notice , make , let , feel等動(dòng)詞后作賓補(bǔ)的不定式要省去 to。但在被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)中,省去的 to 須補(bǔ)出。help 后動(dòng)詞可加 to 亦可不加。例如:
They made that man work in the morning.
Let me see you play.
That man was made to work all the morning.
Why not , had better 后不定式須省去 to。
當(dāng)一個(gè)不定式結(jié)構(gòu)被省略時(shí),to 須保留下來(lái),以代表被省去的不定式結(jié)構(gòu)。例如:
- Would you like to go with me?
- I‘d love to.
Ⅶ 感觀動(dòng)詞后作賓補(bǔ)的現(xiàn)在分詞和不定式的區(qū)別:
不定式作賓補(bǔ)表示動(dòng)作已發(fā)生過(guò)了。用現(xiàn)在分詞則表示動(dòng)作與謂語(yǔ)所表示的動(dòng)作同時(shí)進(jìn)行。例如:
I heard him singing when I passed his room just now. 剛才我路過(guò)他房間時(shí),我聽(tīng)到他在唱歌。
I saw him go into that house. (他已在屋里)
Ⅷ 動(dòng)詞不定式的否定式是在 to 前加 not 。例如:
Tell him not to be late.
Ⅸ 不定式可以和疑問(wèn)詞 what , which , how , where , when 等連用,這一結(jié)構(gòu)可用來(lái)簡(jiǎn)化賓語(yǔ)從句。例如:
I don’t know when we‘ll leave. =I don’t know when to leave.
Ⅹ 慎用句尾的不定式
及物的不定式需加賓語(yǔ)。但用于句尾的不定式有時(shí)雖然是及物的,然而后面并不帶賓語(yǔ)。這是由于在句首或句中已有其邏輯賓語(yǔ),這時(shí)不定式后就不應(yīng)再跟賓語(yǔ)了(帶雙賓語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞除外)。若不定式是不及物時(shí),需加上適當(dāng)?shù)慕樵~或副詞。例如:
The box is too heavy for me to carry. ( carry 后不可再加 it )
He is looking for a house to live in.
動(dòng)詞不定式的句法作用
動(dòng)詞不定式具有名詞、形容詞和副詞的特征,同時(shí)也有動(dòng)詞的特征。它在句中可以作:
Ⅰ 作主語(yǔ)
有時(shí)用 it 作形式主語(yǔ)放在句首,把不定式短語(yǔ)放在后面。如:
To learn English well is very important.
It‘s very important to learn English well.
- How long does it take you to get to the airport?
- It takes me 30 minutes to get to the airport.
Ⅱ 作賓語(yǔ)
Do you want to have a cup of coffee?
在介詞 but , except 之后常用不定式作賓語(yǔ)。介詞前如果有 to do 的某種形式時(shí),其后的不定式一般不帶 to 。如:
Last Sunday she did nothing else but do something sewing. 上個(gè)星期天她除了做了點(diǎn)針線活外,別的什么也沒(méi)有做。
在 can not but , cannot choose but , can not help but 這類(lèi)短語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞后的不定式通常也不帶 to 。如:
I cannot help but tell the truth. 我不得不說(shuō)實(shí)話。
Ⅲ 作賓語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)
She asks me to come home as soon as possible.
Ⅳ 作表語(yǔ)
The biggest problem is how to make full use of our time and money.
Ⅴ 作狀語(yǔ)
不定式可以作目的、原因、結(jié)果、方式狀語(yǔ)等。
They worked very hard, only to get little money. (結(jié)果狀語(yǔ))
He stood up as if to say something.
only + 不定式表達(dá)未能預(yù)料到的結(jié)果狀語(yǔ)。而 only + ing 表達(dá)必然的結(jié)果。如:
He hurried home, only to find his house broken into.
Ⅵ 作定語(yǔ)
Xiao Lin is always the first to come to the office.
注意作定語(yǔ)的不定式是不及物動(dòng)詞時(shí),后面要相應(yīng)的介詞。
Finally they found a comfortable room to live in.
Ⅶ 作獨(dú)立成分。to tell the truth 說(shuō)實(shí)話,to be frank 坦率地說(shuō),to be sure 可以肯定地說(shuō)。
To tell you the truth (= To tell the truth, Truth to tell you), I don’t agree with you.
To be sure, some of them will say no.
知識(shí)的運(yùn)用與講解
Ⅰ 如何突破作結(jié)果狀語(yǔ)的分詞和不定式
NMET 98 試題中有這樣一道單項(xiàng)填空題
European football is played in 80 countries, ____ it the most popular sport in the world.
A. making B . makes C . made D . to make
該題意在考查作結(jié)果狀語(yǔ)的分詞和不定式的不同用法。分詞和不定式都可以用作結(jié)果狀語(yǔ),而且一般都位于主句之后。許多考生對(duì)此區(qū)分不清而誤選答案D,F(xiàn)就二者的不同用法作一簡(jiǎn)單分析。
ⅰ一、分詞作結(jié)果狀語(yǔ),通常表示一個(gè)自然而然的、意料之中的結(jié)果,是主句謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞動(dòng)作的直接結(jié)果。例如:
① His parents died, leaving him an orphan. 父母去世了,他成為孤兒。
② He ran faster than ever, reaching the school quite out of breath. 他跑得更快了,結(jié)果到學(xué)校時(shí)已上氣不接下氣。
③ He cut off the electricity quickly, preventing an accident. 他迅速切斷了電源,防止了一起意外事故。
④ The glass fell to the ground, broken to pieces. 杯子掉在地上,打成了碎片。
ⅱ二、不定式作結(jié)果狀語(yǔ),通常表示繼謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞動(dòng)作之后發(fā)生的一個(gè)相反或出乎意料之外的結(jié)果,常表達(dá)“沒(méi)想到……”、“結(jié)果卻……”、“不料……”等意思。其前常加 only 以強(qiáng)調(diào)這一意外結(jié)果。例如:
⑤ I called at her home, only to find the door locked. 我去過(guò)她家,結(jié)果卻發(fā)現(xiàn)其房門(mén)緊鎖著。
⑥ He hurried to the station, only to be told the train had gone. 他匆忙趕到車(chē)站,不料被告知火車(chē)已經(jīng)開(kāi)走了。
⑦ They lifted a rock only to have it drop on their own feet. 他們搬起石頭,結(jié)果卻砸了自己的腳。
⑧ It took her nearly half a year to find his address, only to learn that he had passed away ten years before. 她用了近半年的時(shí)間找到了他的地址,結(jié)果卻得知他已在十年前去世了。
從以上的分析可以看出,上述試題中句意為“八十個(gè)國(guó)家都踢歐式足球,結(jié)果使其成為世人最喜歡的運(yùn)動(dòng)。”這是一種自然而然的結(jié)果,故正確答案應(yīng)為A。大家可試作下面的一組練習(xí):
1. The water of a hot spring (溫泉) carries many dissolved minerals, usually ____ the water an unusual taste and smell.
A. to give B . gives C . to be given D . giving
2. Mr. Brown returned to his office after a holiday, only ____ broken into.
A. to find it had been B . to find it had
C . finding it had been D . finding it was
Key: 1. D 2. A
Ⅱ 不定式作定語(yǔ)時(shí)的主動(dòng)式與被動(dòng)式
動(dòng)詞不定式在英語(yǔ)教材中是比較重要的語(yǔ)法現(xiàn)象。但在教學(xué)過(guò)程中,發(fā)現(xiàn)學(xué)生對(duì)不定式作定語(yǔ)時(shí)是用主動(dòng)式還是用被動(dòng)式,常常沒(méi)有把握。現(xiàn)歸納如下,以利學(xué)生掌握。
(ⅰ)一、在下列情況,不定式用主動(dòng)形式
① 不定式所修飾的名詞與不定式有邏輯上的主謂關(guān)系(相當(dāng)于定語(yǔ)從句)。例如:
He is not a man to bow before difficulties (= who will bow before difficulties).
Have you got a key to unlock the door (= which can unlock the door)?
This is the best book on the subject to appear this year (= that has appeared this year).
② 不定式與它修飾的名詞有動(dòng)賓關(guān)系,并且在句子中能找到不定式的邏輯主語(yǔ)。例如:
I have a lot of exercises to do today. (I 是 to do 的邏輯主語(yǔ))
Do you have anything more to say? (you 是 to say 的邏輯主語(yǔ))
Mother always gives her little son some toys to play with. (her little son 是 to play with 的邏輯主語(yǔ))
③ 盡管句子中找不到不定式的邏輯主語(yǔ),但不定式隱含“for sb . to do”結(jié)構(gòu)的意思。例如:
This is the best book to read (= for us / you to read).
It is already time to start spring sowing (= for peasants to start spring sowing).
This will be a good opportunity to exchange experience (= for us to exchange experience).
④ 有些動(dòng)詞,后面常跟不定式作賓語(yǔ),其同源名詞常用不定式作定語(yǔ),并且用主動(dòng)形式。例如:
(He attempted to pass the test.) = He failed in his attempt to pass the test.
(Do you intend to go there? ) = Have you any intention to go there?
⑤ 有些形容詞,后面常跟不定式,其同源名詞也常和不定式作定語(yǔ),并用主動(dòng)形式。例如:
(He is determined to overcome the difficulty.)
In his speech he expressed his determination to overcome the difficulty.
(She was anxious to visit the Great Wall of China.)
We could see her anxiety to visit the Great Wall of China.
⑥ 在 “with + n . + to + v . ”結(jié)構(gòu)中的不定式用主動(dòng)形式。例如:
With nothing to do, I sat down watching TV.
He can‘t go out with all these clothes to wash.
(ⅱ) 在下列情況,不定式用被動(dòng)形式
① 當(dāng)句子中有 by 結(jié)構(gòu),明確了不定式動(dòng)作的執(zhí)行者時(shí)。例如:
It was the first such project to be designed by Chinese engineers.
This will be one of the highest buildings to be built by our company this year.
② 當(dāng)不定式修飾的名詞是將要做的事情時(shí)。例如:
The question to be discussed at the next meeting will be rather difficult.
(ⅲ) 當(dāng)不定式所修飾的名詞是“There be…”結(jié)構(gòu)中的主語(yǔ)時(shí),不定式可用主動(dòng)式,也可用被動(dòng)式,意義無(wú)甚區(qū)別
There are many problems to work out / to be worked out.
There is no time to lose / to be lost.
