今日发音练习重点:

invite violence 中的字母v应发v。注意区分w/v的发音。

单词内包含字母v,一般对应v的发音,而不可能发w

言之有物

1. 词链儿:those who do nothing 那些什么都不做的人

Those (people) who = They/People who 意为“凡是…的人们”。

those who 是复数句型,但我们也可用单数句型来表达相同的意思:

He/One who = Anyone who = Whoever + 单数动词。

例句:

Those who have money do not want for friends. (凡是有钱的人都不会缺乏朋友)

= He who has money does not want for friends.

= Whoever has money does not want for friends. (Whoever = Anyone who)

Do you think those who work hard are sure to succeed?

你认为努力工作的人一定会成功吗?

2. invite 动词

邀请,招待

They've invited us to stay for the weekend.

他们已邀请我们留下来度周末。

引起,招致

You're just inviting trouble if you do that.

如果你那样做,只能是惹麻烦。

inviting adj. 吸引人的,诱人的

an inviting smell 诱人的气味

3. as well as 精讲

很多人把它误以为”and”的同义词,但其实它表达的是”not only(不但) … but also(而且)”,在已知的事实外,添加更多信息的意思。

John, as well as Mary, wants to leave early.

在这个范例中,as well as用来表示不仅Mary,John也想要早点离开。因为Mary是单数名词,所以动词会是wants,而非want。

Animals, as well as plants need water to survive.

此范例中,animas则是复数名词,动词使用need。

He hurt his arm as well as breaking his leg.

She draws as well as designing clothes.

这两个例句中,我们以as well as连接两个动作,而接在as well as后的动作,请改为动名词形式。切勿误用为He hurt his arm as well as broke his leg.,或She draws as well as designs clothes.。

I have to clean the floors as well as cook food.

此句中使用了不定词to clean,但接在as well as后的动作,请别也在前面加上to,而是直接使用原形动词即可。别误用为I have to clean the floors as well as to cook food. 。

活学活用

请用 as well as 随意造句
