So am I承接上一句贝蒂妈妈说的话: … I’m sorry you can’t come with us, Betty. (贝蒂, 你不能和我们一起去, 很遗憾), 表示“我也很遗憾无法同行”。

“So + be/助动词+主语”这一结构表示自己与前一个人的情况相同或同意一个人的说法,

意思是“……也这样”。

e.g. Joe was a little upset, and so was I. 乔有点不开心, 我也有点儿。 He has been ill, and so has his wife. 他一直生着病, 他妻子也一样。 Neil left just after midnight, and so did Jack.

2

尼尔一过午夜就走了, 杰克也是。 miss v. 未出席; 未出现

出现动词时, 应该用动词的-ing形式。 e.g. Get up early or you will miss the early bus. She missed going to the party on Saturday.

miss作动词还有“想念”的意思。

miss作名词意为“女士; 小姐”, 此时m必须大写, 常用于姓名或姓之前, 尤指未婚女子。如: Miss Brown。

2. There won’t be anybody to wake you up in the morning.

anybody pron. 任何人

常用于否定句或疑问句中; 当用于肯定句 中时, 相当于any person, 意为“任何人” e.g. I will not tell anybody the secret. Is there anybody in the office? Anybody could do it!

3. My clock ring so loudly that it will certainly wake me up. ring v. 鸣响; 发出铃声

e.g. The telephone is ringing. 电话铃响了。 ring作动词还有“打电话”的意思。

e.g. I’ll ring you up as soon as they arrive. 他们一到我就给你打电话。 4. Your train is about to leave.

be about to do sth. 的意思是“就要/正要……”. e.g. We were just about to leave when Jerry arrived. 杰里来的时候, 我们正准备走。 She looked as if she was about to cry.

她看上去好像要哭了。 5. See you in a couple of weeks!

couple 作名词, 意为“一对; 两个”。它常用于固定短语a couple of, 表示“两个”。 e.g. She has a couple of friends at school. 她在学校有两个朋友。 辨析：couple/pair

这两个名词均有“一对; 两个”之意。

3

couple 多指在一起或彼此有关系的两个人或两个同样的事物;

pair 含义广泛, 可指人或物, 用于物时, 指两个互属的事物, 缺此或失彼都会失去使用价值, 或指由相对称的两部分构成的一件东西。

be easy for me.

2. ________ they loved me, I felt a bit unhappy with them. 3. My clock rings____ loudly _____ it will certainly wake me up. Step 2 Grammar

结果状语从句和让步状语从句 1. so…that…引导的结果状语从句

so…that…结构的意思是“太……以至 于……”。so后面接形容词或副词, 表示程度, that后接从句表示这一程度造成的影响或结果。

e.g. We were so noisy that our next-door neighbour came to complain.

我们太吵了, 以致隔壁邻居前来抱怨。 I was so careless that I forgot something important. 我真是粗心, 以致忘记了重要的事情。 He speaks so fast that I cannot understand him. 他说话太快了, 以致我没理解他的意思。 2. 让步状语从句

although引导的让步状语从句, 表示“尽管……, (但是)……”。 e.g. I can look after myself, although it won’t be easy for me. 我还是可以照顾自己的, 虽然这对我来说不容易。 Although Kevin is alone, he is very happy at first. 尽管凯文独自一人(在家), 但他刚开始还是挺高兴的。

让步状语从句也可以由though引导, 表示表示“尽管……, (但是)……”。在一般情况下, 可以与由although引导的让步状语从句互换使用。在口语中, though较为常用。 e.g. He went on fighting, though he was wounded. 尽管受了伤, 他还是继续战斗。

注意: 汉语中“虽然/尽管”与“但是”往往同时使用, 但在英语中却不是这样。 e.g. I do not often make dinner, but I can cook. 我不经常做饭, 但是我会做。

Although I do not often make dinner, I can cook.
