7.How is she? She’s beginning to move a little.她怎么樣？她開始動了。

▲How is sb.是問候語。如How are you? How is your father?等。

▲ begin 是動詞，后面既可接不定式，也可接動名詞，如果后接的動詞所表示的動作是有意志的，即主語的有意識的行為，則用不定式或動名詞都可以，如果是無意志的。如(know, like, understand)等，則通常用不定式。

He began to understand it.他開始明白了。

▲ 一般說來，接不定式時多強(qiáng)調(diào)新情況的發(fā)生（如本句），動作是否持續(xù)下去則不考慮。接動名詞時，對新動作本身注意較多，而且這一動作還將持續(xù)一段時間。

The medicine is beginning to show its effect.這藥開始起作用了。

I’m glad you are beginning to see it.我很高興你開始明白起來了。

They are beginning to improve the road.他們開始修路。

▲ 如果主語不是由表示人的名詞或代詞充當(dāng)，begin后通常用不定式。

8.What happened to me? Take it easy! I’ve just called the First Aid Centre. We’ll stay here with you until help comes.我出了什么事？別緊張，我剛剛跟急救中心通了電話，我們要和你在一起直到有人來幫助。

10.Don’t try to get up.You shouldn’t get up if you are badly hurt.I ought to go home.I have to cook supper for my grandmother.別起來，你傷得很厲害，不能起來。

▲ ought是情態(tài)動詞，作“應(yīng)該”解釋，與should同義。但語氣比should重，含有“按道理應(yīng)該。。。”之意。當(dāng)我們用should時，我們說的是自己的主觀看法，如本句 You shouldn’t get up.這是說話者自己的看法。但Ought to更多的I ought to go home.是客觀情況的要求，請細(xì)讀下列例句，體會Should和ought to的區(qū)別。

We ought to go and see Mary tomorrow, but I don’t think we will .明天按理我們應(yīng)該去看看瑪麗，但是我認(rèn)為我們不會。（不能用should，should表示主觀愿望，一方面原意作某事，同時有說不準(zhǔn)備做，顯得前后矛盾。）

11.Don’t worry about that.Right now you need to stay still until help comes.別為那事著急。現(xiàn)在你需要靜躺直到有人來幫助。

▲ right now意為“現(xiàn)在”，“此刻”

I say,” Make up your mind right now.”“現(xiàn)在就下決心，”我說。

Right now you should listen attentively to the teacher.現(xiàn)在你應(yīng)該認(rèn)真聽老師講課。

Lesson 30

1. First aid is the science of giving medical care to a person before a doctor can be found. Anyone with the write knowledge can give the first aid;you don’t have to be a doctor.急救是在找到醫(yī)生之前對病人進(jìn)行醫(yī)療救護(hù)的科學(xué)。任何有正確的急救知識的人都可以進(jìn)行急救；不一定非得是一個醫(yī)生才行。

▲first aid意為“急救”，指對危重病人進(jìn)行的緊急搶救，與動詞do,give,或offer相搭配，構(gòu)成do/give/offer first aid to sb的結(jié)構(gòu)。.

A dictionary is an important aid in learning a foreign language.詞典是學(xué)習(xí)外語的重要工具。

▲aid也可作動詞用，意為幫助、援助，相當(dāng)于help，但help是普通用語，而aid則顯得較為莊重，不常用。

They encouraged and aided him in his scientific studies.他們鼓勵幫助他進(jìn)行科學(xué)研究。

At Christmas, many organizations aid the poor.在圣誕節(jié)期間很多組織幫助窮人。

▲have to 與 must都有“必須”之意，在肯定句中，意思相差不大但它們的否定式（mustn’t 和 don’t have to）在意思上差別很大。mustn’t 含有禁止的意思，表示“不得做某事”，而don’t have to則表示“不必作某事”，相當(dāng)于needn’t do sth.

You mustn’t tell Mary about it.你絕不能把此事告訴瑪麗。

You don’t have to tell Mary about it.你不必把此事告訴瑪麗。

Must I hand in my composition before supper? No, you don’t have to.我一定要在晚飯前交作文嗎？不不必。

▲ to do在這里作定語修飾things，不定式作定語時，有時與被修飾的名詞有一種邏輯上的動賓關(guān)系。

I have a lot of work to do today.今天我有很多工作要做。

Here is a book for you to read.這兒有一本書給你讀。

【注】當(dāng)構(gòu)成不定式的動詞是不及物動詞時，常需加一個詞。

He needs a room to live in.它需要有一間房子住。

Is he a man to depend on?它是一個可以依靠的人嗎？

【注】有時作定語的不定式與被修飾的名詞不構(gòu)成這種邏輯上的動賓關(guān)系。

The next train to arrive is from Nanjing.下一列到站的火車來自南京。

He was always the last to leave.他總是最后一個離開。

3. Check that the person can breathe. Open the mouth and make sure that there is no food at the back of the mouth.檢查一下，看看這個人能不能呼吸。掰開嘴，看看口腔后部有沒有食物堵住。

▲check與 make sure在本句中意思基本相同，意為“核查”，“弄確實”。

The reports were still being checked.報告還在審查。

Preparing the lessons and checking the pupils’ homework took a great deal of time.備課和批改學(xué)生作業(yè)要花很多時間。

We said things would turn out well, and sure enough they did.我們說情況會變好的，果然如此。

4.If the person is not breathing, you must try to start his/her breathing at once.If this is not done within five minutes,the person will die.

▲within作“在。。。之內(nèi)”解釋，比in更為正式，如果表示在一段時間之內(nèi)，within可用于過去時，現(xiàn)在時或?qū)�來時，而ｉｎ后接一段時間時常作“在。。。之后”解釋，只用于將來時，故放在將來時態(tài)中表示“在一段時間之內(nèi)”，美國英語里較多地使用inside。

I’ll be back within/inside half an hour.半小時內(nèi)我就回來。

The job will be finished in a week.這工作一周后完成。

The job will be finished within a week.這工作一周內(nèi)完成。

She will be back in an hour.他一小時后回來。

The best thing is to use the mouth-to-mouth way. Lay the person on his/her back, close his/her nose with your fingers and breathe into his /her month.Repeat this as often as is necessary.

▲lay是即物動詞，意為“放”，“置”，注意不要和lie的過去式lay混淆，后者意為“躺”，是不及物動詞。

The girl lay on the grass,looking at the blue sky and thinking.這女孩躺在草地上，看這藍(lán)色的天空沉思著。

Granny laid a bag of rice on the table, panting.奶奶把一袋米放在桌上，氣喘吁吁。

He lay unconscious on the bettle ground for hours before we finally found him他在戰(zhàn)場上昏迷不行的躺了幾個鐘頭，最后我們才找到他。

.▲as often as is possible意為“盡量多次”，這是一個比較狀語從句，第二個as后面的從句可以看作是省去了it。還可以說as often as possible

▲one third意為“三分之一”。在英語中，分?jǐn)?shù)的分子用基數(shù)詞，分母用序數(shù)詞表達(dá)，當(dāng)分子超過1時，在分母的序數(shù)詞后加-s。

one fifth五分之一，three eighths八分之三，如果分?jǐn)?shù)作主語，則要看它代表可數(shù)名詞還是不可數(shù)名詞，如代表可數(shù)名詞的復(fù)數(shù)，則謂語動詞用復(fù)數(shù)形式，否則謂語動詞用單數(shù)形式。

Two thirds of the students in our class are League members.我們班上三分之二的學(xué)生是共青團(tuán)員。
