初级美语 L007:Tony and Tina 解析

一、Reading:

Tony and Tina are very different. Tony likes music. Tina doesn't. Tony is an athlete. Tina isn't.

On the other hand, Tina likes movies, but Tony doesn't. She is a good student, but he isn't.

Tony and Tina are brother and sister, but are they alike? NO, they aren't. They're very different.

二、解析:

■ Tony and Tina are very different.

  • :Tony and Tina
  • :are
  • :very
  • :different

■ Tony likes music.

  • :Tony
  • :likes
  • :music.

■ Tina doesn't.

= Tina doesn't like music.

句型: 省略句。

省略句的功能:省略两句的重复部分,使句子结构简单又不失清楚的涵义。

省略句的先决条件
a. 两句的结构必须相同(亦即两句有相同的时态及动词),第二句方可形成省略句。
b. 第一句若为肯定句,第二句则为否定句;第一句若为否定句,第二句则为肯定句。

■ Tony is an athlete.

  • :Tony
  • :is
  • :an athlete.

■ Tina isn't.

= Tina isn't an athlete.

句型: 省略句。

■ On the other hand, Tina likes movies, but Tony doesn't.

On the other hand:表“另一方面来说”或“话又说回来”。有副词的功能,通常置于句首,修饰整个句子。

此处 movie 加 s,告诉我们 movie 是个普通可数名词,使用复数 movies 来表整体的概念。

■ She is a good student, but he isn't.

  • 主:She
  • 系:is
  • 表:a good student
  • 省略句:he isn't ...

■ Tony and Tina are brother and sister, but are they alike?

句型:主系表,一般疑问句。

此句 brother 与 sister 是可数名词,照理本句应为:They are a brother and a sister. 但两个名词所表示的是相对的关系,如父子、兄妹、母子等,这些名词之前的不定冠词就应省略。

alike:adj.相像的。 :使用时,主语一定要是复数,两个人以上。
