★本句亮点：西方的文化精神一直表现为对“客观性”的重视。义物本为主体，以自然为本位。而中国文化则以人为中心，认为世界一切皆因人的活动。因此，讲地道的英语句子第一步就是改变“人”作主语的习惯，学会直接用“物”作主语。

另一方面，你一想到动物油炸土豆就会反胃。
★本句亮点：书面英文中，“名词优于动词或形容词”。这里的at the idea of 中的名词idea 代替了动词think。要学会用类似的短语：at the sight of ,at the smell of, at the taste of ,at the touch of ,at the news of等。

★本句亮点：把让步状语从句用的更活灵活现的方法，就是将其倒装。让步状语从句一般由though, although, even though, granting that, admitting that 等来引导。在倒装句中一般使用though, as 。倒装结构：强调部分+as/though +句子剩余部分。Strange as it may seem, I only did it for you .

★本句亮点：课文妙在：用现在分词作；伴随状语将第一句话的结构变得紧凑后，接着用‘when’把两个句子连接在一起。“when”在这里显然不是“当…的时候”的意思，而是指在前一个动作的过程中，另一个动作突然发生了。“when”的这个用法值得学习，以后我们就能用它来连接表一前一后不同动作或状态的句子。

等

27、Nothing of value was found, but the numerous items which were brought to the surface proved to be of great interest.
没有发现什么值钱的东西，不过打捞出来的众多的物品还是引起了大家的极大的兴趣。★本句亮点:再一次重复书面英语的原则：“名词优于形容词或动词”。“valuable”和“of value”相比后者显然更加正式讲究。所以应该熟悉的掌握一系列的“形容词=of+ 名词”替代套路。

Your help is of great value to correcting the weather forecast.
28、What invariably happens is that a great number of things choose to go wrong at precisely the same moment.
情况经常是这样的，许许多多的事情都偏偏赶在同一时刻出问题。
★本句亮点：要写出好句子并不难，平日里多积累一些能广泛使用的经典句型，尽量用他们取代自己写的那些平淡得不出奇的句子即可达到这个目的。如：“always”可以变化为”“What invariably happens is that”，反之，“never”可以变化为“What never happens is that”,类似的句型还有很多。注意，不要犯重复的错误。

古玩店对许多人来说有一种特殊的魅力。
★本句亮点：翻译“某人钟爱某物”的典型思维模式是：“sb. Love /like/be interested in sth”然而，如果过来翻译，将sth作主语，用上“sth exert a fascinate on sb ”这个句型，那么你的句子就升级了。
The newly published book exerts a fascinate on many young readers.

31、At the time, this did not strike me as odd.
那时，我并未感到奇怪。
★本句亮点：当我们翻译“我没感到奇怪时”，我们脱口而出的句子肯定是“I did not feel odd”,因为这是符和中文的思维习惯的表达。然而我们要练到大师级的写作水平，我们需要在写完没个句子之后都问自己，有没有更加地道的表达方式。写作是平时一点一滴积累起来的，一篇出色的文章也一点一点改漂亮的。

★本句亮点：表示“某人突然想到。。。”，用句型“It suddenly dawned on me that”或“It suddenly occurs to sb that…..”会更经典。这里it作为形式主语，句末接真正的主语从句。
It suddenly dawned on him that last month two of the best-selling singles in china were by Hong Kong singers.

我无理解人们为什么情愿每天在路上奔波四个小时去换取值得怀疑的乡间的优点。★本句亮点：模仿课文这句话的结构，表示“某人不理解。。。。。”或“某人不知道。。。。”时，使用“...is beyond sb.”。同理，表示“某人够不着。。。。”，不说“sb cannot
reach…”,而是说”…is beyond sb’s reach”；表示“某人无法控制。。。。”不说“sb. Cannot control…”而使用“...is beyond sb’s control”等。

洞穴勘查或洞穴勘探，正如人们所了解的那样，是一项比较新的体育活动。
★本句亮点：在表的众所周知的意思的时候，很多人会写成“Everybody knows ….”or “It is known that…”现在我们学习一种很棒的替代方式，用“as it has come to be known”作为插入语放在句子中间，前后用逗号隔开。如果具体指“某人知道”，则在“as it has come to be known”后面加上“to sb.”。
The new president, as it come to be known, is insensitive to public opinion. The enemy nation, as it has come to be known, is leading up to an impertinent request during the negotiation.

36、The journey is so smooth that there is nothing to prevent you from reading or sleeping.
旅程非常平稳，你完全可以阅读和睡眠。
★本句亮点：课文的句子直译过来时“旅程非常平稳，没有什么能够阻拦你鱼肚或者睡眠”，听上去很拗口，不太符合中文的习惯。但正是这种中国人听上去不习惯的句子，恰恰是英文地道的表达。所以，以后“你完全可以……..”翻译成“there is nothing to prevent you from doing….”。
This arrangement suits us so well that there is nothing to prevent us from enjoying the whole sea journey.

36、Acting on the contention that facts are sacred, reports can cause untold suffering to individuals by publishing details about their private lives.
记者认为事实至上，所以他们发表别人私生活的细节时，会给当事人造成极大的痛苦。
★本句亮点：表示“某人因某一想法而产生某一行为”，我们不再用两个句子，而仿效文章中用现在分词作原因状语，不出现“think”一词。而要记住这个表达法“acting on the contention that….”。
Acting on the contention that the village would be engulfed by drifting sands, he demanded all the villagers evacuate the valley by publishing a new notice.

air-conditioned rooms, employing full-time technicians and run on
specially-written software.
计算机的主机确实很大，常常占据里装有空调的多间房间，雇用专职的技师，而且得用专门编写的软件才能运行。
本句亮点：不管是现在分词还是过去分词，都可以做主语补足语，即做足语的修饰成分。这一点容易被英语学习者忽略。在写作文是，可以利用“分词做主补“来讲一些没必要单独成句的段句子合成一个有份量的长句。记住，现在分词表示主动，过去分词表示被动。如果像课文当中这样，几个现在分词和过去分词同时出现在一句话中作主补，那么你就写出了上等的佳句。

尽管那只瓶子呈淡绿色，但细心的客人很快就会发现瓶里装的是一种看上去黏稠、颜色发灰的东西。
★本句亮点：第一、以后文章中的although…通通可以换作despite/in spite of the fact that…，这样做的好处是fact 之前还可以加上，修饰性的形容词，使文章更加细腻。同理，because…可以换作for the reason that…;第二，中国学生喜欢用the thing 后面加个定语从句去修饰，更地道的表达法是用what引导名词性从句。

39、Harry does not need to be prompted to explain how he bought his preciouse bottle of mud.
毋须暗示哈里就会向你讲起他买下那瓶珍贵香水泥的经过。
★本句亮点：表达“某人高兴做某事”，“某人总是习惯做某事”，都可以用上这个看上去别扭，其实很值得仿效的表达法“sb. Does not need to be prompted to do sth.”。Shanghai men are adored by many ladies throughout the country for the simple reason that they need to be prompted to share the household chores.

★本句亮点：表达“某人因为…….而无法做到”，惯常思维会让英语学习者写出这样的句式“sb. Cannot do… because….”, 可这种表达太普通，要学会仿造课文，用以句式：“sth. Prevent sb.’s + 名词”。尤其是原句can后的动词很容易转化成名词，更应该用这个新句型。

★本句亮点：在clear 之前用多少个very来加深程度，都不如漂亮的写上一个合适的比喻。除了“as clear as daylight”,还有“as clear as crystal”或者“as clear as sky”。英语中这样的比喻非常的多，搭配也相对比较固定，平时多积累，以便灵活的用在作文中，增加情趣。

Though it may be possible to measure the value of material good in terms of money, it is extremely difficult to estimate the true value of the services which people perform for us. There are times when we would willingly give everything we possess to save our lives, yet we might grudge paying a surgeon a high fee for offering us precisely this service. The conditions of society are such that skills have to be paid for in the same way that goods are paid for at a shop. Everyone has something to sell. Tramps seem to be the only exception to this general rule. _________________2__________________ But real tramps are not beggars. They have nothing to sell and require nothing from others. In seeking independence, they do not sacrifice their human dignity. A tramp may ask you for money, but he will never ask you to feel sorry for him. He has deliberately chosen to lead the life he leads and is fully aware of the
Smash－and－grab 砸橱窗抢劫 The expensive shops in a famous arcade near Piccadilly were just opening. At this time of the morning, the arcade was almost empty. Mr Taylor, the owner of a jewellery shop was admiring a new window display. Two of his assistants had been working busily since 8 o'clock and had only just finished. Diamond necklaces and rings had been beautifully arranged on a background of black velvet. After gazing at the display for several minutes, Mr Taylor went back into his shop. The silence was suddenly broken when a large car, with its headlights on and its horn blaring, roared down the arcade. It came to a stop outside the jeweler's. One man stayed at the wheel while two others with black stockings over their faces jumped out and smashed the window of the shop with iron bars. While this was going on, Mr Taylor was upstairs. He and his staff began throwing furniture out of the window. Chairs and tables went flying into the arcade. One of the thieves was struck by a heavy statue, but he was too busy helping himself to diamonds to notice any pain. The raid was all over in three minutes, for the men scrambled back into the car and it moved off at a fantastic speed. Just as it was leaving, Mr Taylor rushed out and ran after it throwing ashtrays and vases, but it was impossible to stop the thieves. They had got away with thousands of pounds worth of diamonds.

新概念英语第三册重点句子及解析Lesson50 【课文】 The New Year is a time for resolutions. Mentally, at least, most of us could compile formidable lists of 'dos' and 'don'ts'. The same old favorites recur year in year out with monotonous regularity. We resolve to get up earlier each morning, eat less, find more time to play with the children, do a thousand and one jobs about the house, be nice to people we don't like, drive carefully, and take the dog for a walk every day. Past experience has taught us that certain accomplishments are beyond attainment. If we remain inveterate smokers, it is only because we have so often experienced the frustration that results from failure. Most of us fail in our efforts at self-improvement because our schemes are too ambitious and we never have time to carry them out. We also make the fundamental error of announcing our resolutions to everybody so that we look even more foolish when we slip back into our bad old ways. Aware of these pitfalls, this year I attempted to keep my resolutions to myself. I limited myself to two modest ambitions： to do physical exercise every morning and to read more of an evening. An all-night party on New Year's Eve provided me with a good excuse for not carrying out either of these new resolutions on the first day of the year, but on the second, I applied myself assiduously to the task. The daily exercises lasted only eleven minutes and I proposed to do them early in the morning before anyone had got up. The self-discipline required to drag myself out of bed eleven minutes earlier than usual was considerable.
Lesson1 A puma at large Pumas are large, cat-like animals which are found in America. When reports came into London Zoo that a wild puma had been spotted forty-five miles south of London, they were not taken seriously. However, as the evidence began to accumulate, experts from the Zoo felt obliged to investigate, for the descriptions given by people who claimed to have seen the puma were extraordinarily similar. The hunt for the puma began in a small village where a woman picking blackberries saw 'a large cat' only five yards away from her. It immediately ran away when she saw it, and experts confirmed that a puma will not attack a human being unless it is cornered（adj.被困得走投无路的）. The search proved difficult, for the puma was often observed at one place in the morning and at another place twenty miles away in the evening. Wherever it went, it left behind it a trail of dead deer and small animals like rabbits. Paw prints were seen in a number of places and puma fur was found
新概念英语第三册Lesson38重点句子及解析 【课文】 Future historians will be in a unique position when they come to record the history of our own times. They will hardly know which facts to select from the great mass of evidence that steadily accumulates. What is more they will not have to rely solely on the written word. Films, videos. CDs and CD-ROMs are just some of the bewildering amount of information they will have. They will be able, as it were, to see and hear us in action. But the historian attempting to reconstruct the distant past is always faced with a difficult task. He has to deduce what he can from the few scanty cluesavailable. Even seemingly insignificant remains can shed interesting light on the history of early man. Up to now, historians have assumed that calendars came into being with the advent of agriculture, for then man was faced with a real need to understand something about the seasons. Recent scientific evidence seems to indicate that this assumption is incorrect. Historians have long been puzzled by dots, lines and symbols which have been engraved on walls, bones, and the ivory tusk of mammoths. The nomads who made these markings lived by hunting and fishing during the last Ice Age, which began about 35,000 B.C. and ended about 10,000 B.C. By correlating markings made in various parts of the world, historians have been able to read this difficult code. They have found that it is connected with the passage of days and the phases of the moon. It is, in fact, a primitive type of

新概念英语句子成分基础知识讲解详情 在高中新概念的课程上，发现很多学生已经学了多年英文了，但这 部分基础知识掌握的并理想。原因有两点，第一，没有考题会直接考 你分析句子成分，所以认为能够不学，第二，觉得难。 但是这个部分内容却是英文基础里面很重要的模块，在口语、写 作中能够帮你表达出准确的句子，能够帮你提升阅读速度，能够帮你 分析很多其它语法问题。比如一些同学认为各种从句难学，比如状语 从句、定语从句、表语从句等等，多年教学发现弄不懂从句的根本， 是没弄清楚句子成分。都不知道宾语、表语为何物，如何弄懂宾语从句、表语从句为何物?而其实真正掌握了句子成分的基础，这些从句的 问题都会迎刃而解。 有些同学可能会觉得句子成分太多了，分不清楚。但其实没想象 的多，里面有几个大家基本都有一定了解了，而且也比较简单，剩下 需要学习的也就三四个，所以完全没有想象中复杂。 主语：这个应该不用多说，“主”说明这个东西很重要，类似家 里的主人，它的位置一般位于句首。比如： He laughed. The dog runs fast.里面的He, The dog。 谓语：相信大家都听说过谓语动词，因为谓语就是由动词构成的。比如上面两个句子中的laughed，runs就是谓语。 宾语：在教学过程中发现到宾语部分，就有一些学生开始放弃了，所以这里是关键。“宾”其实对应的就是“主”。主人是动作的发出者，而宾客则是动作的接受者。所以宾语大家记住一句话就能够了： 宾语是动作对象或动作的接受者,一般在谓语动词后。比如：I love you. I ate your dog.里面的you, your dog.分别是动作的对象，吃 的对象。

新概念英语Ⅲ经典句子 1、Pumas are large ,cat-like animals which are found in America. 美洲狮是一种体形似猫的大动物，产于美洲。 ★本句话亮点：当前一句末尾的一个名词和后一句开头的名词或者代词重合时，可以用定语从句巧妙的将两个分散的句子合二为一。 Pandas are large, bear-like animals which are found in China. Dragons are mysterious, snake-like animals which are described in Chinese legend. 2、When London Zoo received reports which said that a wild puma had been spotted forty-five miles south of London ,they were not taken seriously. 当伦敦动物园接到报告说，在伦敦以南45英里处发现一只美洲狮时，这些报告并没有受到重视。 ★本句亮点：西方的文化精神一直表现为对“客观性”的重视。义物本为主体，以自然为本位。而中国文化则以人为中心，认为世界一切皆因人的活动。因此，讲地道的英语句子第一步就是改变“人”作主语的习惯，学会直接用“物”作主语。 The news came to me that he was down with pneumonia. The advertisement entitle “Tide’s in ,Dirt’s out” suddenly caught our eyes. The fierce garnished with cooking utensils has caught every guest’s attention. 3、However, when experts from the Zoo received more and more evidence, they felt obliged to investigate, for the descriptions given by people who claimed to have seen the puma were extraordinarily similar. ★本句亮点：中文习惯用一个主语贯穿到底，以人物的主要动作串联起来。这样的句子在英文中是败笔。英文句子强调灵活变动，可以把主语不同的小句子通过不同的连词巧妙而紧密地连接。 When the little boy at last came into their sight, their impatience is clearly bubbling up toward the boiling point, for the post the boy had taken was not what they wanted. Although the intimidation to Premier Zhu began to accumulate, he was not worried at all, for the anonymous intimidation was na?ve and ridiculous. 4、The city was even equipped with a drainage systems, for a great many clay pipes were found beneath the narrow streets. 城里还铺设排水系统，因为在狭窄的街道底下发现了许多陶土制作的排水管道。 ★本句亮点：为了写出生动的句子，我们应该避开简单乏味的“there be ”结构。放弃这种最基本的存在句型，换个角度，用主动语态或被动语态表达出相同的意思。Hundreds of people gathered in the open to watch the film. Volumes of the dictionaries line the shelf. A dangerous spy is planted among us. 5、 Despite her great age, he was very graceful indeed. 尽管她上了年纪，但体态确实优美。
