本讲为2006年下半年新的教学内容,请对照教材、语法书、练习册听录音! You may suddenly find that there is no way to stretch the little time you have left to cover all your obligations. 本句主干结构是You may suddenly find that…;在that引导的宾语从句中,you have left是定语从句修饰the little time,省去了关系代词; to cover all your obligations是不定式结构作stretch的目的状语。 stretch: v. 伸展,延长 e.g. These exercises are designed to stretch and lengthen1 the muscles around your stomach and the lower part of your back. 这些练习目的是伸展你腹部及背部下方的肌肉。 This substance is very flexible and stretches to any shape you want. 这种物质弹性很好,能够拉伸成任何你想要的形状。 cover: v. 处理,完成;涉及 e.g. The history course covered a lot of ground in six weeks. 历史课在六周内涉及很广 The exams only a month away and we havent even covered the whole course, never mind started revising. 再过一个月就要考试了,可我们还没学完全部课程,更不用说复习了。 3. It is not how much time you allocate2 for study that counts but how much you learn when you do study. 该句是强调句,主干结构是It is not…that counts but…。正常语序为It is not…but…that counts(起作用的不是…而是…),但由于被强调部分not…but…过长,所以把 that counts提前,将一个并列句断开,后一半放在句子最后,以起到平衡全句的作用。句意为:“起作用的不是你分配多少学习时间,而是你真正学习时学到了多少东西。” count: v. 重要,有价值;起作用 e.g. Ive always believed that happiness counts more than money. 我总是认为幸福比金钱更重要。 If people spoil their voting papers, their votes dont count. 如选票损毁,投票便无效。 4. Remember--it will not only improve your grades but also free you to enjoy college life more. 该句中free是动词。 free: v. 释放,使自由 e.g. Someone freed the birds from their cages. 有人把鸟从笼子里放走了。 Her retirement3 from politics will free her to do what she thinks best. 她从政界退下来之后便会有可能干她最想干的事。 5. once prepared, follow the same pattern every week with minor4 adjustments. 该句是祈使句;once prepared是 “连词 + 过去分词” 结构作状语从句,完整表达形式需为 once your weekly study schedule is prepared(一旦每周学习日程表制定,每个星期都照着日程表去做,只须做些微调。)。 follow: v. 按照,遵循 e.g. Follow the instructions on the back of the packet carefully. 请认真按照包装后面的用法说明去做。 I decided5 to follow her advice and go to bed early. 我决定听从她的建议,早点睡觉。 The people living in this area still follow their ancient traditions. 住在这一地区的人们仍然遵循着他们古老的传统。 6. Then write in the hours each day you feel you must allocate for study. 本句中each day you feel you must allocate for study是定语从句修饰the hours,省略了关系代词which或that。句意为“然后,写下你认为每天应该分配给学习的时数”。 7. A good schedule must have a little give so that special projects can be taken care of properly. 本句结构是“主句 + so that 引导的目的状语从句”;give是名词,意为“弹性”。句意为:“一个好的日程表必须有一定的弹性,使特别的项目能得到妥善的处理。” 8. This will not only keep the study habit alive but also keep you up-to-date on your class assignments and projects. alive: a. 存在的,运转的;在起作用的 e.g. Keep the principles of liberty alive. 使自由的原则永存。 Relatives of the missing sailors are struggling to keep hope alive. 失踪船员的亲属们努力地使他们的希望不破灭。 9. You must push away the many temptations that are always present or your schedule is useless. 本句主干是由连词or(否则)连接的两个并列句,that are always present是定语从句修饰temptations,句意为:“你必须摆脱常常出现的许多诱惑,否则你的日程表就一点用处也没有了。” Budget problems hung up the project for months.
