四、重点句式

1.as if/though 引导表语或状语从句

[教材 P15] Reading this book made me feel as if I'd been woken up from a long sleep and finally opened my eyes to the world!

读了这本书，我觉得自己好像从长眠中醒来，终于睁开了眼睛，看到了这个世界！

句式分析：本句中的 as if 跟在系动词 feel 的后面引导表语从句。由于该表语从句表示的并非事实，所以用了虚拟语气。

[例 1] They completely ignore these facts as if they never existed.

他们完全忽略了这些事实，就仿佛它们不存在似的。

[例 2] I felt as if I had made a mistake. 我觉得自己似乎犯了个错误。

[造句] 这个小女孩打扮得像个仙女一样。

The little girl dressed as if she were a fairy.

[知识拓展]

(1)as if/though 意为“仿佛，好像”，引导表语从句和状语从句。在 be， look，seem，sound，smell，feel 等系动词之后的 as if/though 引导的是表语从句。

(2)当 as if/though 引导的上述从句所陈述的是不真实的或不可能发生(存 在)的情况时，从句谓语常用虚拟语气。

(3)as if/though 引导方式状语从句时，如果从句主语和主句主语一致，且 其中又含有 be 动词的某种形式，可以省略从句中的主语和 be 动词。

[翻译 1] 看起来好像除了我之外，所有人都交了朋友而且很快乐。

It seemed as if everyone but me had made friends and was having fun.

[翻译 2] 打破窗户的是约翰。为什么你说的好像是我打破的似的？

It was John who broke the window.Why are you talking to me as if I had done it?

[即学即练] 单句语法填空

①The woman loves the children deeply as if they were her own.

②The boy is running impatiently here and there as if searching for something lost on the sports ground.

 

2.“do/does/did＋动词原形”强调谓语动词，意为“的确；确实”

[教材 P15] But thinking back，it did teach me a lesson or two.

但回想起来，它确实让我从中借鉴一二。

句式分析：本句中的 did 是对 teach 的强调，意思是：的确教给 了我……

[例 1] She did reach the station just as the train came into sight.

她的确刚到达了车站就看到了火车。

[例 2] Some experts say with more practice，small talk does get easier.

一些专家说多练习，闲聊就会确实变得更加容易。

[造句] 她确实每天帮她妈妈做一些家务。

She does help her mother with some housework every day.

[知识拓展]

(1)“did＋动词原形”强调过去的动作；

(2)“does＋动词原形”强调现在的动作；

(3)“do＋动词原形”强调现在的动作。

注意：对谓语动词的强调须符合以下两个条件：

(1)句子是肯定句；

(2)句子的时态为一般现在时或一般过去时。

若强调主语/宾语/表语/状语等则应用强调句型：It is/was ＋被强调的部分＋that/who...。

[翻译 1] 一定要小心那个花瓶。

Do be careful with that vase.  

[翻译 2] 我的确欣赏你吃东西时的礼貌举止。

①If you have a  job，do devote yourself to it and finally you will succeed.

五、长难句分析

Like Mitch，Morrie makes you aware that you want to die feeling that you have lived life to the full，knowing that you are loved and have loved others as much as you could.

分析：本句为复合句，aware 的宾语是 that you want to die feeling

that you have lived life to the full，knowing that you are loved and have loved others as much as you could。die 的伴随状语有两个，第一个是 feeling that you have lived life to the full，第二个是 knowing that you are loved and have loved others as much as you could。

译文：像米奇一样，莫里让你意识到，你希望死的时候，认为自 己活得很充实，知道自己被爱着，并且也尽可能地爱过别人。
