重点解释

生词快记:

screw:拧紧

disturb:打扰

词汇精解:

order:

n.顺序；条理；订单；命令；秩序；阶层；[生]目；点的东西

v.命令；定购；调整；整理；点餐

【词语用法】

用法一:作名词时，在有些词组中前面不加冠词a/an/the，如in alphabetical order，in order of arrival，by order（奉命）等；在有些句子中要用复数形式orders。

They received orders to start at once.

The soldiers have orders not to let anybody come past.

用法二:作名词或动词指“命令”时，语气较重，不能用在家人间。

He ordered his son to buy a newspaper for him.（这种表达方式是错误的）

用法三:作动词或名词指“命令”时，后面可跟that从句，从句中用虚拟现在式。

He orders that the work (should) be started at once.

用法四:作动词，后可跟宾语和不定式，不可直接跟不定式。

He ordered them to start the work at once.

用法五:作名词指“订单”时，后面跟介词for。

We have sent an order for a hundred copies of the book.

我们下订单订了一百份这本书。

作名词指“订单”时，可跟动词execute或fill（美语中常用）表示“按照订单交货”。

作名词时，order后还可跟for和款项表示订单金额。例：money/postal/post-office order for ￥200；

Your order for a hundred copies of the book has been executed/filled already.

用法六:后可跟双宾语.

My mother has ordered me a new suit.

视野拓展:

in order to比单用to更加正式且语气重，口语中很少用in order to。正式程度从大到小：in order to，so as to，to。表目的还可以跟从句in order that；

in order在不同语境中有多重含义:
Everything is in order.

一切正常有序。

The typewriter is in order.

这台打字机工作正常。

A fresh discussion of the question is now in order.

现在正适合重新讨论这问题。

错句举例与错句分析 :

错句：The soldiers were ordered standing at attention.

纠正：The soldiers were ordered to stand at attention.

翻译：士兵们收到命令立正站好。

分析：order的宾语补足语只能是不定式，不可以是动名词。

语法剖析:

Do you mind if I use your toaster?

你介意我用你的烤面包机吗？

剖析：if I use your toaster是由if引导的状语从句。

由引导词if或unless引导的状语从句叫做条件状语从句。

在英文中，条件是指某一件事情实现之后（状语从句中的动作），其它事情（主句中的动作）才能发生，通常译作“假如”。只有用了烤面包机后才会有介意发生。

例句:

I will come to see you if I have time. 　　

我有时间，我就来看你。 (只有有时间，来看你的动作才会发生）
