Ⅲ. 語法學習
- ing形式作表語、定語和賓語補足語的用法
1 . 動詞的ing形式包括名詞和現在分詞，二者都可作表語。如：
Our job is playing all kinds of music . ( 動名詞 )
The music they are playing sounds so exciting . ( 現在分詞 )
注：一般來講，動名詞 ( 短語 ) 作表語，主表可互換，即：Playing all kinds of music is our job .
現在分詞作表語，表明主語的性質和特征，主表不可互換。
2 . - ing形式做定語可以表示1 ) 所修飾名詞的用途。如：
a waiting room ( = a room for waiting ) 候車室
a walking stick ( = a stick for walking ) 手杖
a sleeping car ( = a car for sleeping ) 臥車
2 ) 所修飾名詞正在進行的動作，可以換成定語從句形式。如：
a waiting man ( = a man who is waiting ) 正等待著的男人
a sleeping child ( = a child who is sleeping ) 正睡覺的孩子
a walking man ( = a man who is walking ) 正散步的男人
3 . 在see , hear , feel , watch , notice等感觀動詞后可以用 - ing形式做賓語補足語。這時 - ing形式和句子的賓語之間存在著邏輯上的主謂關系，并且 - ing形式表示賓語正在進行的動作。如：
He saw a girl getting on the tractor . ( = He saw a girl and the girl was getting on the tractor . ) 他看見一個女孩在往拖拉機上爬。
Do you hear someone knocking at the door? 有人敲門你聽見了嗎?

Kinds of music
More details
Folk music
It has been passed down from one generation to another . At first it was never written down . People learned the songs from their families , relatives , neighbours and friends in the same village . These songs were about the country life , the seasons , animals and plants , and about love and sadness in people‘s lives .
African music
It plays an important part in people’s lives , especially for work , and at festivals and weddings , when people dance all night long .
Indian music
It‘s not written down . There is a basic pattern of notes which the musician follows . But a lot of modern music is also written . India also produces films with music , and millions of records are sold every year .
Music in the Caribbean
The slaves who were brought from Africa developed their own kind of music . West Indians make musical instruments out of large oil cans . They hit different parts of the drum with hammers to produce different notes . This type of music has become very famous in Britain and is very good music to dance to .
Jazz
Jazz was born in the USA around 1890 . It came from work songs sung by black people and had its roots in Africa . Jazz started developing in the 1920s in the southern states , Soon it was played by white musicians , too , and reached other parts of the USA .
單元重點詞匯
1 . familiar意為“世所周知，熟悉的；看慣的，聽慣的，耳熟的”，其后通常跟介詞to連用。例如：
a familiar face / voice熟悉的臉 / 聲音
His name is familiar to me , but I haven’t met him .
These tales are familiar to Chinese children .
familiar還可以表示“ ( 某人 ) 熟悉 ( 某事 ) 的，精通……的，通曉……的”，其后通�？梢愿樵~with連用。
例如：
He is more familiar with modern jazz than I .
I am not familiar with the names of plants .
通過以上例句我們可以看出：
①事物當主語時，作“為人所熟悉”解，與to連用；但人當主語時，作“熟悉某事物”解時，則與with連用。又如：
Alpine plants are familiar to him . ( = He is familiar with alpine plants . )
②人當主語而與with連用時，with之后若接事物的話就是“熟悉”之意，若接人的話就變成了“親密”之意，但這個“親密”往往很容易變成“親昵、放肆”。

單元語法
非謂語作定語的區(qū)別
動名詞、分詞和不定式都能作定語，它們在用法上區(qū)別如下：
※ 動名詞作定語只表示被修飾詞的用途，不定式作定語通常表示未來的動作或含情態(tài)意味，現在分詞作定語表示正在發(fā)生的動作或存在的狀態(tài)，過去分詞表示已經完成的動作或無時間性的行為。
This is a sleeping car . (動名詞作定語表示用途，它可轉換為：This is a car for sleeping . )
A sleeping child is in the room . (現在分詞的主動形式作定語表示一個正在進行的動作，它可轉換成：A child who is sleeping is in the room . )
The bike being repaired now is mine . (現在分詞的被動形式，表示正在進行的動作，它可轉換成：The bike which is being repaired now is mine . )
I‘m not sure which is the road leading to the hospital . (現在分詞短語不表示正在進行的動作而表示存在的狀態(tài)，它可轉換成：I’m not sure which is the road that leads to the hospital . )
The fallen leaves . (過去分詞表示一個完成的動作，The leaves that have fallen . )
I have two letters to write . (不定式表示將來的動作)
※ 不定式作定語，一般只能放在被修飾詞之后，分詞作定語即可放在被修飾詞之前，也可以放在被修飾詞之后；通常單個的詞放前，短語放在后，現在分詞的被動形式放后。例如：
I have a friend living in London . (短語)
China belongs to the developing country . (單個的詞)
The building being built now is a hospital . (現在分詞的被動式)
The man dressed in a new suit is our manager . (短語)
Only by practice will you be able to improve your spoken English . (單個的詞)
Mary needs a dictionary to refer to . (不定式)
※ 分詞所修飾的名詞就是該分詞的邏輯主語。若被修飾的名詞與分詞之間存在著邏輯上的主動關系，即被修飾的名詞是動作的執(zhí)行者，則用現在分詞，若是被動關系，即被修飾的名詞是動作的承受者，可用現在分詞的被動式或過去分詞。它們倆主要從時間上區(qū)別，現在分詞被動式表示正在進行的動作；過去分詞表示完成的動作或無時間性，只表被動關系。例如：
There is a river running around our school . (主動關系)
The watch being repaired now is hers . (被動關系，正在進行的動作)
He is an English teacher liked by all his students . (表被動關系)
Japan is a developed country . (表完成，表被動)
※ 心理反應狀態(tài)動詞，如：excite , fright , move , tire , interest , puzzle , disappoint等，同現在分詞作定語，表示“令人……”，被修飾的詞通常是物，用過去分詞作定語，被修飾的詞通常是人。例如：
What disappointing news it is!
Don‘t make fun of the frightened child .
注意：puzzling expression “令人迷惑的表情”；puzzled expression (本身)迷惑的表情。
※ 下列情況下常用不定式作定語。
1 . 在被修飾的詞前有形容詞最高級、序數詞以及the last , the only , the next等后作定語的時候，只能用不定式作定語。例如：
He is always the first to come .
The next man to come was Tom .
This is the largest ship to be serving as a seaside hotel in our country .
2 . have +賓語的句型中，常用不定式作定語。例如：
I have a lot of questions to ask .
He has nothing to worry about .
3 . 在way , pleasure , chance , plan等名詞后常用不定式或of +動名詞，但在ability , failure , promise后只能用不定式。例如：
I had no chance to speak (或of speaking) to him .
His failure to pass the exam surprised us .
4 . 表示未來的動作。例如：
He has two letters to write .
5 . 與被修飾的詞有同位、動狀關系的通常只能用不定式作定語。例如：
I have the ability to speak a foreign language . (同位關系)
I’m not sure which restaurant to eat at .
A good place to eat at is the Peace Restaurant .
典型“語義重復現象”錯誤例析
1 . 湯姆吃完早飯急急忙忙去上學。
[誤]After breakfast Tom was hurrying to go to school .
[正]After breakfast Tom was hurrying to school .
[析]hurry(=move quickly)本身含有“走”之意，后面不可再接go, walk , run之類的動詞，但可接動詞不定式或名詞。 例如：We have to hurry away to catch the bus . She hurried to the station .
2 . 我們應當全心全意為人民服務。
[誤]We should serve for the people heart and soul .
[正]We should serve the people heart and soul .
[正]We should work for the people heart and soul .
[析]serve本身有“work for（為……服務）”之意。作及物動詞用時， 后面不可再接介詞for。
3 . 戰(zhàn)爭結束以后，她成了一名教師。
[誤]After the end of the war, she became a teacher .
[正]After the war, she became a teacher .
[析]句中after是介詞，有“在……以后”的意思；end是名詞，意思是“結束”，用了after，就不可再用end。
4 . 只要校長一回來，我就立刻告訴你。
[誤]As soon as the president returns, I will let you know at once .
[正]As soon as the president returns, I will let you know .
[析]as soon as有“立刻”之意，從句中用了as soon as，主句中就不能再用at once, immediately, right away, right now之類的詞了。
5 . 這是一部極好的詞典。
[誤]This is a very excellent dictionary .
[正]This is an excellent dictionary .
[析]excellent, wonderful等詞含有“極好的(extremely good)”之意，不能用very修飾。再如：This is a wonderful film .
6 . 大家都非常喜歡這個小男孩。
[誤]Everyone all likes the little boy very much .
[正]Everyone likes the little boy very much .
[析]everyone有“每個人，大家”的意思，用了everyone或everybody， 不就必再用all了。
7．這男孩名叫楊洋。
[誤]The name of the boy is called Yang yang .
[正]The name of the boy is Yang yang .
[析]name與be called不能同時使用，因為name與be called在語義上是重復的。我們通常說：My name is Li Biao . 但不能說：My name is called Li Biao .
8 . 踢足球是我最喜愛的運動。
[誤]Playing football is my most favourite sport .
[正]Playing football is my favourite sport .
[析]favourite本身有“最喜愛(like best)”之意，前面不必再用most修飾了。如：My favourite hobby is collecting stamps .
9 . 如果你知道這個答案，就舉手。
[誤]Raise your hand up if you know the answer .
[正]Raise your hand if you know the answer .
[正]Put your hand if you know the answer .
[析]raise有“舉起”之意，后面不必再加up，它與put up同義。
10 . 請把這個句子再重復一遍。
[誤]Please repeat the sentence again .
[正]Please repeat the sentence .
[正]Please say the sentence again .
[析]repeat本身有“say or do sth . again”之意，用了repeat，就不必再用again了，但可說：Say it again .
11 . 你們應當把試卷保管好。
[誤]You should take good care of your papers carefully .
[正]You should take good care of your papers .
[析] take good care of有“認真保管好”之意， 后面不要再用副詞carefully .
12 . 你喜歡喝茶還是喜歡咖啡？
[誤]Which do you prefer more, tea or coffee?
[正]Which do you prefer, tea or coffee?
[正]Which do you like better, tea or coffee?
[析]prefer本身有“較喜歡(like better)”之意，如果句中用了prefer， 一般不再用more了。
