英语实用句子
“奥林匹克”(Olympics)一词起源于古希腊的“奥林匹亚”( Olympia),即“诸神之所”奥林匹斯山的所在地。第一届奥运会可以追溯至公元前776年,那时的运动员们都裸体参赛。
如今,Olymipic又有了其它的意思。堪比奥运会比赛标准的游泳池就是Olympic-size pools。Olympic-size现在可以用来描述任何事物非常之“大”。比如,"但愿你的食物足够多,因为他可是个大胃王(Olympic-size appetite)"。有时候,人们干脆把size也省略掉,比如,"那个派对规模真大。(That party was Olympic.)”
Olympics也可以用来指体育以外的竞赛,比如“啤酒奥运会”(beer Olympics)、“汉堡奥运会”(burger Olympics)等等。这些“冒牌奥运会”真让正牌奥运会的官员们“大大地头疼”啊(Olympic-size headaches)。
实用语法总结之含有动词意义的介词
文章摘要:有些动词含有介词的意义,运用的时候要加以注意。
在英语中,有一些介词表示的却是动词的含义,主要有:
1.at :在与表达感情的形容词连用时,可代替“听”“看”等动词,如:
She was greatly surprised at the bad news. 她听到这个坏消息时,大吃一惊。
2.to :在与go, come , invite等动词连用时,可代替“参加”“出席” 等动词,如:
Prof. Wang has gone to a meeting. 王教授去开会去了。
3.for:在与go, come , return等动词连用时,可代替后面表明“目的” 动词,如:
What did he come for? He came for his wallet.他来干什么?他来取钱包。
4.for :在与start, leave, set等表示离开,启程等动词连用时,相当于汉语的“走”“到”“往” 等意思,如:
They start for Shanghai at five early tomorrow morning明早五时,他们出发去上海。
5.有些介词短语作連系动词的表语,有动词含义,如:What is he at ? 他在干什么?
6.有些介词短语可代替动词不定式短语,作定语,自然会有动词意义,如:
It’s time for breakfast.现在是早餐的时间了. 该吃早饭了。
7.with,在类似下列的句子中,意为use,如:
He often writes with my pen他时常以我的钢笔写.。他常有我的钢笔写字。
8.by与表示交通工具的单词连用,相当于汉语的 “坐”“乘”等意思,如:
Are you going to travel by plane or by train?他坐火车去工作? 你们打算乘飞机还是坐火车去旅行?
但是不能说这些介词就等于这些动词,更不能用它们充当谓语动词
口语表达总结之夜有所梦
文章摘要:新的一天开始时,你是不是还留恋昨晚的美梦呢?我们来学习一些“睡梦”的表达方法吧~
Sweet dreams
是指梦中充满蛋糕和糖果吗?不!这是用于希望某人晚上做个好梦的表达方式。人们常用来向他们的所爱的人道晚安:"Sweet dreams, my love!"
Reoccurring nightmare
这些肯定不是美梦!Nightmares是恐怖的梦境。如果你一再做同样的恶梦,就叫做If reoccurring nightmare。
Hit the hay
当某人告诉你是该hit the hay的时候了,放轻松!这不是要你去谷仓或做任何体力活。在西方国家床垫以前是用草填充的-因此这只是意味着是该睡觉的时间。
Heavy/light sleeper
heavy sleepers是典型的又高又壮的人而light sleepers则是又小又瘦的人吗?当然不是!Heavy sleepers是指那些睡的很熟而不易唤醒的人。而light sleepers,正相反。就算最小的声音都能把他们吵醒。
Sleep like a log
想象一下段木头——又重又不容易移动。 如果有人sleeping like a log,那他们睡的非常的沉而没有什tossing and turning。例如,你可以说,"I'm so tired from all that exercise that I'll sleep like a log tonight!"
Sleep in
如果有人说喜欢sleep in的话,那么最好早上不要太早打电话给他。 这个表达方式指晚起的人。例如,"I sleep in every weekend and wake up around noon."
Power nap
白天你会不会有时觉得非常的疲倦?如果是power nap可能你帮助你恢复!如果睡几个小时可能让你觉得睡意更浓时,短暂而不超过30分钟的power nap应该能让你感到重获新生。
Insomnia
有些人在哪儿都能睡着,而有些人在晚上怎么躺都睡不着。不容易睡着的人有insomnia 并且叫作insomniac。
Doze off
有时侯,当我们特别累的时候,我们不知不觉就可能睡着了。这叫做dozing off。可能你在看电视,念书甚至在课堂里或工作时就doze off!
