【英语早间课堂】It is strange that S (should) do.(之四)

【序言】

各位听众朋友，这里是可可早间课堂。我是Juliet。可可早课堂给您讲解的是最基础，最基本的英语知识，是培养您的英语基本技能的地方。历经20多年来的英语学习，我深深感到：基础即是精髓，基本即是精华。

【今日主题】

我们来看第8题：真奇怪，他会这么生气。

It's strange that he feel so angry.

【点评】

[陷阱提示] that he feel so angry 这个主语从句中的谓语是feel，用的是其原形，大家可不要看到主语he，第三人称单数，而且主句中的时态又是一般现在时，就“胸有成竹”画蛇添足地给feel加上个小尾巴“s”。我们中国不是有句话吗：吃力不讨好。您多写个s，费了力，在考试中还要挨扣分。

[短语详析] 该句子中“生气”的表达是非常通俗的用词了“angry”,那么既然出现了angry,我就来简单说说angry的用法。 Be angry with somebody 生某人的气 be angry about something 因某事而生气 be angry with somebody about something（强调： with somebody 放于about something的前面，也就是把“人”放于“事”的前面） 因某事而生某人的气。我们大家都熟悉一个词，和它意思一样的是：mad, mad 的基本意思是“发疯的，疯狂的”，当您生气时，您会失去理智，控制不住自己的感情，就像一个疯子发疯那么激动，由此引申出“生气”这个意思。那么它的用法是：be mad at somebody 生某人的气 be mad about something 因某事而生气 be mad at somebody about something 因某事而生某人的气。Angry 和 mad 这两个词表达“发火，生气”的程度基本上是一样的。

[视野拓展] 哎呀，怎么现在说到angry呢。今天呀，Juliet可真是祸不单行，一整天都在angry中，头都要气炸了。为何呢？听我慢慢道来。
