Grammar 主谓一致

主谓一致是指句中的主语和谓语在人称和数上须保持一致。我们一般遵从三个原则：

1、 语法一致的原则：是指主语为单数或复数时，其谓语动词要与其相呼应。

2、 意义一致的原则：指谓语动词的单复数取决于主语所表达的概念，而不取决于表面的语法标志，主要表现为某些集体名词后可跟动词单数或复数。如果这些集体名词指整体概念时，谓语动词用单数；指 具体成员时用复数。

3、 就近原则：是指谓语动词单复数取决于离它最近的词语，而无须考虑其他的词。

A knife and fork is on the table.

6．由 and 连接的并列单数主语的前面分别有each, every或no修饰时，其谓语用单数形式。 No student and no teacher is invited to the party.

In our country every boy and every girl has right to receive education.

7．主语是单数，其后跟有together with, along with (与 一道)，as well as (和；也)，no less than (和 一样)，rather than (而不)，以及with, not, like, but, except, besides, including 等引起的短语时，谓语动词一般用单数形式。

8．在定语从句中主语是关系代词who, that, which,谓语动词的数应与先行词的数一致。

9．主语是一些只有复数形式的名词，如clothes, trousers, glasses, compasses, scissors, shoes, socks, gloves等时，谓语用复数。但这类表示成双的东西的名词前有a pair of修饰时，谓语用单数。

译：因患有严重的疾病，Van Wendel再也不能清楚地讲话了，他知道他已经没有康复的可能，其病情正在迅速恶化。

句子分析：Affected with a serious disease是过去分词短语做原因状语，可以改写成原因状语从句：

because he was affected with a serious disease, .另外，there was no hope of recovery和that his condition was rapidly deteriorating都是动词knew的宾语。词组：be affected with sth患有 疾病。如：

All the cows in the farm are affected with mad-cow disease.

hope of recovery:康复的希望。

2. Van Wendel''s last three months of life before being given a final, lethal injection by his doctor were filmed and showed on TV last year in the Netherlands. (p3)

译：Van Wendel在他的医生给她进行最后结束生命的那一阵之前的后三个月的生活被拍成了电影并于去年在荷兰的电视上首次播映。

句子分析：该句的主语较长，were之前均是。其中，核心名词Van Wendel''s last three months of life，后面的before being given a final, lethal injection by his doctor是动名词的被动语态做定语。film这里当动词用，拍电影。

3. The programme has since been bought by 20 countries and each time it is shown, it starts a nationwide debate on the subject. (p3)

译：这个节目此后被二十个国家所购买。每次放映，都引起一场关于这个主题的全国性的大讨论。 句子分析：这是一个常考句子。考点一：since: adv 从那以后；考点二：each time是名词作时间状语，前面不用介词；考点三：debate on sth关于 的讨论。

5. Should doctors be allowed to take the lives of others? (p5)

译：医生应该被允许去结束他人的性命吗？

In our country, the old are taken good care of by the young.

词组：opt out选择放弃。如：I think I''ll opt out the game.

译：但是在一种情况下死亡是朋友。

句子分析：该句唯一的考点为：where; 此时它引导定语从句，相当于in which. 关于定语从句的关系词选择的问题，主要取决于先行词在从句中所作成分，请对比：

句子分析：此句为there be句型的变体。该句型是英语中常见句式，称“存在句”谓语动词一般由be充当，但还可以根据句意换成其它动词，如：

1). There are a lot of people in the meeting room.

2). There will be a meeting tomorrow.

3). There used to be a church at the corner of the street.

4). There happened to be an old friend of mine in the hotel.

5). There is sure to rain tomorrow.

6). There stands a bank next to my school.

另外，working in Britain是现在分词作定语，修饰domestic servants。

2. Of these 20000, just under 2000 are being exploited and abused by their employers, according to a London-based campaigning group which helps overseas servants working in Britain. (p1)

译：根据某个设在伦敦的帮助在英国工作的国外佣人的活动组织声称，在这20000名佣人中又近2000人被他们的雇主剥削和虐待。

句子分析：Of these 20000是状语，under 2000是数词作整个句子主语，are being exploited and abused是现在进行时态的被动语态做谓语，剩余的是状语。另外，under是低于 不到 的意思；---based设在 的，以 为基础的；

3. And they can have their passports removed, making leaving or escaping virtually impossible. (p2) 译：他们的护照可能已被拿走，其实际上既不能离开液或不能逃走。

句子分析：have their passports removed是VOC结构，使have sth done句型的具体使用，表示宾语和动词之间是被动的关系，如：Last week I have my computer repaired.

making leaving or escaping virtually impossible是现在分词作结果状语，其中leaving or escaping是动名词，做making的宾语。virtually是几乎的意思，相当于almost.

4. In one of them, a Filipino maid was executed in Singapore after being convicted of murder, despite protests from various quarters that her guilt had not been adequately established. (p3)

译：其中一个事例就是关于一个菲律宾女佣在被判谋杀罪后，在新加坡被处决，尽管各个地区的人都抗议她的罪行尚未得到充分证实。

句子分析：was executed表被动，after being convicted of murder是时间状语，请注意：being动名词，convicted被判罪，被动，词组：sb is convicted of sth 某人被判有 罪。如：

She has twice been convicted of fraud. (她已经两次被判犯有诈骗罪。)

despite尽管，是介词，因此其后只能跟名词，而不能接句子。Protests是抗议的意思，

that her guilt had not been adequately established是Protests的同位语从句，具体解释Protests的内容。from various quarters= from various places.

5. I was supposed to be paid ￡120 but I never received that amount. (p4)

译：我本应该得到120英镑的报酬，但我从未得到那个数目。

句子分析：词组be supposed to do sth应该做某事，如：You are supposed to get there as early as possible.

be paid 被支付 钱。

He is paid 1000yuan for finishing such a task.

6. At the end of 1994, the British Government introduced new measures to help protect domestic workers from abuse by their employers. (p7)

译：1994年年底，英国政府引进新的措施来保护家佣们，使其免受雇主的虐待。

句子分析：At the end of 1994时间状语，the British Government主语，introduced谓语，

new measures宾语，to help protect domestic workers from abuse by their employers是不定式做目的状语。词组：protect sb from sth保护 使之远离

Each parent should protect their child from TV violence.

7. So if they do complain, they risk being deported. (p8)

译：所以，如果他们真的抱怨的话，就会冒着被驱逐出境的风险。

句子分析：do complain:是谓语动词的强调形

式，意思：的确抱怨道的话 前面我们曾经见过it is/was that/who 的强调句型，它不能用来强调谓语，只能强调主语、宾语和状语，而要想强调谓语，只能借助于助动词do, does, did.

For example:

1). I do love you!

2). He does study very hard.

3). I did meet Bill Gates last week.

8. Allowing domestic workers the freedom to seek the same type of work but with a different employer, if they so choose, is what groups like Anti-Slavery International are campaigning the Government for. (p9)

译：给予那些愿意做同类工作但是想更换雇主的家佣们这种自由，这正是国际反奴役组织这样的

团体向政府争取的。

句子分析：Allowing domestic workers the freedom to seek the same type of work but with a different employer是动名词短语作主语，其中to seek the same type of work but with a different employer是不定式作定语修饰the freedom，谓语是is, 后面的what groups like Anti-Slavery International are campaigning the Government for是表语从句。if they so choose是条件状语从句，做插入语。

9. It is, they say, the right to change employers which distinguishes employment from slavery. (p9) 译：他们说，就是更换雇主的权利才能把雇佣同奴役区别开来。

句子分析：该句的主要形式是it is 引导的强调句。强调句子的主语the right to change employers. they say 是插入语。词组：distinguish A from B将A 同B区分开。

The twins are so alike that no one can distinguish one from the other.

句子分析：主语：The three forms；谓语（系动词）：remained；表语：distinct. musically and culturally是副词修饰distinct。as late as 1965时间状语，none没有一个；new states of consciousness新的意识状态。Radically修饰new.

6. Electronics did, in fact, make possible sounds that no instrument up to that time could produce. (p3) 译：事实上，电子学的确可以制作出到那时为止乐器所发不出的声音。

翻译：今天大多数机器人用于汽车工业，它们按照编好的程序接任了汽车和卡车车身的焊接和喷漆这一类的工作。

分析：该句的考点是where引导的非限定性定语从句，修饰in the automotive industry。另外请注意几个词的用法：employ: v 雇佣，使用，相当于use; program: v 编写程序；take over: 接管、接收、接任，如：Do you want me to take over the driving if you are tired?

such...as例如，welding and spray painting是动名词，做宾语。

2. Robots, already taking over human tasks in the automotive field, are beginning to be seen , although to a lesser degree, in other industries as well. (p3)

翻译：除了在汽车生产领域替代人工劳动外，机器人也开始在别的工业部门应用，虽然应用程度低一些。

分析：该句考点如下：already taking over human tasks in the automotive field是

3. The robots used in nuclear pants handle the radioactive materials, preventing human personnel from being exposed to radiation. (p3)

翻译：核电站里使用机器人处理辐射材料，避免人员接触放射性物质。

分析：主语：The robots；谓语：handle；宾语：the radioactive materials；used in nuclear pants handle the radioactive materials是过去分词短语做定语；preventing human personnel from being exposed to radiation是现在分词短语做伴随状语。being exposed to动名词被动语态；prevent sb from doing 阻止某人做某事。

词组：be assembled with sth = be equipped wth sth装备有。。。；a sense of touch触觉，同样的短语还有：a sense of sight/hearing/smell/taste:视觉，听觉，嗅觉，味觉；a sense of humor/direction:幽默感/方向感。make decisions做出决定；plenty of sth充足的，足够的

补充语法知识：名词性从句

名词性从句是由if, whether, that 和各种疑问词充当连接词所引导的从句，其功同名词一样。

一．主语从句

主语从句是在复合句中充当主语的从句，通常放在主句谓语动词之前或由形式主语it代替，而本

身放在句子末尾。

1. It 作形式主语和it引导强调句的比较

It 作形式主语代替主语从句，主要是为了平衡句子结构，主语从句的连接词没有变化。而it引导的强调句则是对句子某一部分进行强调，无论强调的是什么成分，都可用连词that。被强调部分指人是也可用who/whom。例如：

1).It is a pity that you didn''t go to see the film.

2).It doesn''t interest me whether you succeed or not.

3).It is in the morning that the murder took place.

4).It is John that broke the window.

必背

用形式主语it引导的主语从句相当多，有些已形成固定的语法和译法。常见的有：

It is said that... 据说 It is reported that... 据报导

It is well known that... 众所周知 It is announced that... 据宣布

It is believed that... 人们相信 It is thought that... 人们认为

It is understood that... 自不待言 It must be pointed out that... 必须指出

It must be admitted that... 必须承认

2.主语从句的语序

主语从句要求使用陈述句语序，而非一般疑问句语序。如：

What surprised me most was that the little girl could play the violin so well.

使我感到惊讶的是这个小女孩的小提琴拉得太好了。

How he was successful is still a puzzle.

他是如何成功的仍然是个谜。

3. 连接词的选用

（1）that和what的选用

that和what都可引导主语从句。what除起连接作用外，还在名词性从句中充当某些成分，可作从句的主语、宾语或表语。而that在名词性从句中不充当任何成分，无词义，只起连接词作用。如：

What he wants is a book. 他想要的是一本书。

That light travels in straight lines is known to all. 众所周知，光线沿直线运行。

（2）if和whether的选用

引导主语从句，不能用if，只能用whether。如：

Whether we will hold a party in the open air tomorrow depends on the weather.

我们明天是否在户外开晚会要看天气而定。

（3）其它连接代词和副词的选用

根据主语从句的具体意义，正确的选择who, which, when, where, why, how等连接词，这些连接词既有疑问含义，又起连接作用，同时在从句中充当各种成分。如：

When we shall hold our sports meet is not decided. 我们何时举行运动会还没有决定。

Who broke the glass yesterday is not clear. 还不清楚昨天谁打破了玻璃。

Which car you will choose to buy makes no difference. 你决定买哪一辆车都不会有任何区别。

二．宾语从句

在复合句中用作宾语的从句叫做宾语从句。

1. 宾语从句常由that引导，在口语中常省略。当主句中谓语动词是现在或将来时态时，从句中谓语动词不受主句中谓语动词时态的影响，按需要可以使用任何时态。如：

She says (that) she works from Monday to Friday. 从句是一般现在时

She says (that) she will leave a message on his desk. 从句是一般将来时

当主句谓语是过去时态，从句中的时态一般用表示过去的某种时态。如：

He said there were no classes yesterday afternoon. 从

句是一般过去时

He said (that) he was going to take care of the baby. 从句是过去将来时

He said (that) they were having a meeting at that time. 从句是过去进行时

当主句谓语是过去时态，而宾语从句叙述某一客观真理（事实）时，宾语从句的时态则用一般现在时。如：

The teacher told us(that) nothing is difficult if you put your heart into it.

老师告诉我们世上无难事只怕有心人。

He said that light travels much faster than sound. 他说光传播比声音传播快得多。

2. 否定转移

1) 将think, believe, suppose, expect, fancy, imagine等动词后面宾语从句的否定词转移到主句中，即主句的谓语动词用否定式，而从句的谓语动词用肯定式。

I don''t think I know you. 我想我并不认识你。

I don''t believe he will come. 我相信他不回来。

注意：若谓语动词为hope,宾语从句中的否定词不能转移。

I hope you weren''t ill. 我想你没有生病吧。

2) 将seem, appear 等后的从句的否定转移到前面。

It doesn''t seem that they know where to go.看来他们不知道往哪去。

It doesn''t appear that we''ll have a sunny day tomorrow. 看来我们明天不会碰上好天气。

三．表语从句

表语从句在复合句中作表语的名词性从句，放在系动词之后，一般结构是“主语＋连系动词＋表语从句”。可以接表语从句的连系动词有be, look, remain, seem等。引导表语从句的that常可省略。另外，常用的还有the reason is that 和It is because 等结构。例如：

1) The question is whether we can make good preparation in such a short time.

2) This is why we can''t get the support of the people.

3) But the fact remains that we are behind the other classes.

4) The reason he is late for school is that he missed the early bus.

四. 同位语从句

同位语从句就是在复合句中作名词的同位语的名词性从句。

1.同位语从句的功能

同位语从句对于名词进一步解释，说明名词的具体内容，一般由that引导，例如：

1) The king''s decision that the prisoner would be set free surprised all the people.

2) The order that all the soldiers should stay still is given by the general.

2．同位语从句与定语从句的区别

(1) 定语从句中的that既代替先行词，同时以在从句中作某个成分（主语或宾语），而同位语从句中的that是连词，只起连接主句与从句的作用，不充当句中任何成分。

(2) 定语从句是形容词性的，其功能是修饰先行词，对先行词加以限定，描述定的性质或特征；同位语从句是名词性的，其功能是对名词进行补充说明。例如：

1) The news that he told me is that Tom would go abroad next year.（他告诉我的消息是汤姆明年将出国。）（第一个that引导的从句是定语从句，that在从句中作宾语）

2)The news that Tom would go abroad is told by him.（汤姆将出国的消息是他讲的。）（同位语从句，that在句中不作任何成分）

Analyze the difficult sentences:

1.Scientists are working on program to predict where and when an earthquake will occur.(P1)

翻译：科学家们正致力于研究预报地震何时何地发生的计划。

分析：Scientists are working on program是句子的主体部分，to predict where and when an earthquake will occur是动词不定式做定语，修饰program.其中，where and when an earthquake will occur是动词predict的宾语从句，注意疑问句的语序。词组：work on:从事 ，对 有影响，如：

2.They hope to develop an early warning system that can be used to forecast earthquakes so that living can be saved.(P1)
