at large
1:逃遁的,没有被控制的。
2:详细的(in detail)
3:总体来讲(as a whole)
eg: Pandas are large cat-like animals which are found in Asia.
life-like 栩栩如生的
一般来讲定语从句和同位语从句紧随在被修饰名词后面,但为了保持句子平衡,也可以把谓语动词放到从句之前
定语从句只是对于被修饰词的补充说明、修饰。
同位语从句则是讲述被修饰名词的内容
定语从句的引导词:
  指人:主语 who; 宾语 who/whom; 定语 whose
  表达事物:that(也可指人)/ which
  时间状语:when; 地点状语:where; 原因状语: why
同位语从句:名词做主语、宾语时,关系词用that 而不是which
  时间 when; 地点 where
eg: An idea came to her that she might do the experiment in another way.
I have no idea what has happened to him.
定语从句中没有what 这个关系词,但它可以引导同位语从句

as 随着

过去分词做定语
I still remember the school where I studied English.
confirm: be sure, be certain
search=hunt
把某物留在后面:leave behind
Wherever he went, the wound soldier left behind him a trail of blood.伤员所到之处,都留下道道血迹。
英文的表达方式重点在于突出客观事实,而中文则善于运用动作的执行者
complain of / about :抱怨

作者: willpower2006   发布日期: 2006-09-13
on + 名词:强调动作正在进行
on the rise:在上升
on the increase: 在增加
on the watch: 在观看
on the match:在比赛中
on the fishing trip:在钓鱼的途中
on holiday: 在度假

fully: completely, entirely

in the possession of sb==in sb's possession 归某人所有

Who引导定语从句

Too embarrassed to say:太尴尬而没有说明
be ashamed of

get married
marry v. 如果强调动作:He married the girl…
         如果表示状态:get married, be married
         如果表明和某人已经结婚多长时间了:be married to sb.
The old man has been married to his wife 50 years.

Too…to…, 太…而不能
simply adv. 用来修饰限定动词told

dressed in a smart black suit-----形容词短语表示一种状态
Eg: He got to work dressed in a beautiful coat.
He left home wearing a smart black suit.

Changed into: 换上

Before returning home==Before he returned home
在before 引导的时间状语从句中,return 的逻辑主语和主句的主语he是保持一致的,所以这个时间状语是由介词before和动名词搭配而成,相当于before 引导的时间状语从句。
如果运用动名词形式,动名词的逻辑主语必须是主句的主语。
After getting home, he had a good rest.
Before having dinner, he finished all his homework.

She never will = she will never discover the secret
在省略句式中, never要放在助动词之前。
‘Will you go to see her?’
‘ I will never go to see her.’ / ‘No, I never will.’

half  as much as (he used to): 是 … 的一半
half (a quarter, twice, three times ) as …as…表示倍数
I won’t marry a man who is twice as old as me.
We got three times as many people as we exected.
This room is about three times as large as that one.

…as (形容词或副词原形)as… 是 …几倍
比 …多几倍:…times (形容词或副词比较级)
This road is four times longer than that one. => This road is five times as long as that one.

is well worth the loss of money
What he obtained is well worth the loss of time
Well 副词用来加强语气,修饰形容词worth
【Special difficulties】难点
A. 英语中的许多动词不能以人作为宾语,只能代某物或某事。如果需要说明是某人就要用介词to.
Eg: He explained the difficulty to me
He told a story to me.=> He told me a story.
两类词汇:tell可以和双宾语搭配(指物的直接宾语,指人的间接宾语)
          explain, say只能带一个(直接)宾语,在间接宾语前要介词to
She speaks English to her husband and Swedish to her children.
He admitted his guilt to the police.
Did you suggest this idea to him?
当直接宾语比较长或者是个从句时,通常放在间接宾语之后,但say除外
I explained to him the impossibility of granting his request.
He confessed to me that he had fallen asleep during the meeting.
B.  worth adj. 后面只能跟名词或动名词
His suggestion is worth considering.
