重庆10月自考《英语（一）》课堂笔记（10）

　　请注意下面三个句子中所用的词组：

　　Man is different from all the other animals in his ability to learn and use a language.

　　Man differs from all the other animals in his ability to learn and use a language.

　　The greatest difference between man and all the other animals is his ability to learn and use a language.

　　从上面的句子中可以看出differ是动词，different 是形容词，difference是名词。

　　6. … find it difficult to succeed in language learning.

　　… find it difficult to succeed in other fields.

　　句中的it是形式宾语(formal object)，真正的宾语(real object)是不定式to succeed in language learning，此类用法在英语中很常见，请注意掌握。如：At first I found it difficult to remember all these new words.(开始我感到记住这些单词很难。)

　　请翻译下面的句子：

　　1) 外面的噪音使我无法继续工作。

　　(The noise outside made it difficult for me to go on with my work.)

　　2) 他们觉得再争论下去是浪费时间。

　　(They consider it a waste of time to argue any further.)

　　3) 她认为把真相告诉小王是对的。

　　(She thought it right to tell Xiao Wang the truth.)

　　7. Language teachers often offer advice to language learners.

　　本句中注意掌握动词offer的用法，请看下面的例句：

　　1) He offered me a cup of tea after I sat down. (我坐下后他给我端来一杯茶。)

　　2) What suggestions would you like to offer to those young teachers? (对这些新教师你有什么建议要提吗?)

　　3) This shop offers all kinds of stationery.(这家商店供应各种文具。)

　　4) The old man offered me 100 yuan for the used bike.

　　(那个老人向我出价100元买这辆旧自行车。)

　　5) She offered to help me with my English.(她表示愿意帮我学英语。)

　　句中的advice为不可数名词，其后不加s，正如课本第六页注解3所说，有许多东西在汉语中是可数的，在英语中却是不可数的。如news， information， paper 等，若要表示“一个”这类概念，就必须加a piece of这类定语，例如：

　　a piece of news

　　a piece of advice

　　a sum of money

　　a piece of bread
