重点讲解
一.Always:adv. 总是,一直,始终,永远,随时,无论如何
【词义辨析】
always,often,usually,frequently,repeatedly,regularly
always: 总是,永远。语气最强,指在一切时候,没有例外。
often: 经常,语气弱于always,侧重动作发生的次数具有经常性,具体时间意味不强。
usually: 通常,通例地,指习惯性动作,频度仅次于always,较often大,偶尔有间隔。
frequently: 时常,经常,与often同义,可通用,但较正式,强调次数频繁。
repeatedly: 屡次,强调次数多,但反复的频率不一定均匀。
regularly: 用于修饰经常而有规律性的动作。
【词语用法】
1.always指“每次,无例外的”,
Rain and storm always comes with typhoon.
always指得是百分百,如果十次中有八九次一样,不能说always,只能说almost always。
2.在进行时态中,always指“时常,往往”。
He is always asking questions.
他常提问。
always还常有“令人不耐烦”的含义。
You are always finding fault with me.
你老找我茬,真烦。
3.always在不定时态和进行时态的句子中,含不同意思。
She always dreams of him.
She is always dreaming of him.
两句都指“她老梦到他”,但前者是她未必时常梦到他,而后者是她时常梦到她。
4.表示反义“常常不”的时候,不能说always not,而是用never。
She never laughs.(NOT She always does not laugh.)
5.always不可以与whenever等已经表示“任何的,任一一次的”词连用。
Whenever he meets me he always speaks of his father.
句中,whenever已表示任何时候,就不需再加always去强调每次,删掉always或者改whenever成when。
6.He always is here!指“他的确常在这(不要认为他不在这)”,强调is,需重读,注意句末习惯用感叹号。
【例句用法】
1.I'm always at home in the evenings.
晚上我总是在家里。
2.We should always help each other.
我们应始终互相帮助。
二.start:v. 开始,出发,震惊 n. 开始,震动,领先优势,起推动作用的外力
【词语用法】
1.start与begin意思差不多,但是start意思稍广,有启动的意思。另外在更正式的形式中,更偏向于使用begin;
2.start表示“动身”时,常与for, from连用,但是不怎么与at连用。
I aw starting for Shanghai tomorrow.
我明天出发去上海。
3.start表示“动身”时,还常用现在时或现在进行时表示将来时。
I start tomorrow.
4.start in/out同start一样,解释为“开始”,是不及物动词,常用于口语。
He started (in/out) the task at once.
他马上开始任务。
5.start有如下搭配:start doing, start to do, start in,start in doing;
6.at the start与from the start之间的区别:at the start是起初的意思,from the start是从头便。
【错句举例与错句分析】
错句:The quarrel started in competition between two tribes.
纠正:The quarrel originated in competition between two tribes.
翻译:争论起源于两个部落之间的竞争。
分析:originate是起源于的意思,这句话的意思是战争起源于两个部落的竞争,更符合意思。
【例句用法】
1.She started at the sound of my voice.
她听到了我的声音,蓦地一惊。
2.The society was started in 1980.
该协会是1980年创建的。
