【知识讲解】
1、— Can I ask you a question, Eddie?
— Sure.
—Eddie,我可以问你一个问题吗?
—当然可以。
Sure在这里相当于Of course / Certainly / OK. / All right
例如:
Will you please open the door?
Sure / Of course / All right. / Certainly / OK.
sure还可以表达“确信的”,其用法如下:
be sure of sth
Are you sure of it? 你肯定吗?
be sure to do sth.
It is sure to rain 一定会下雨。
be sure not to forget it. 一定不要忘记。
be sure +that从句
I’m sure he will come soon.我肯定他很快就来。
2、How do you like life on Mars?I hate it.
你觉得火星上的生活怎么样?我讨厌它。
①句型 How do you like…? 意为“你认为……怎么样?”。这一句型主要用来询问对方对某事物的印象,询问对某人或某物喜欢到什么程度,因此,答语通常是I like…very much/a lot/a little.。另外,本句也可改为What do you think of…? 这一句型。例如:
— How do you like that film?你认为那部电影怎么样?
— I like it very much. 我非常喜欢。
— What do you think of this picture? 你觉得这幅画怎么样?
— I like it a lot. 我很喜欢。
②hate 讨厌,不喜欢,后可跟名词、代词、动名词或动词不定式。例如:
I hate Monday morning.
He hates her because she always plays tricks on him.
I hate watching TV, but I prefer to read.
She hates to drive at night.
hate 的同义词是dislike, 反义词是like/enjoy。
3、I thought you liked Mars.
我原以为你喜欢火星。
I thought …“我原以为…”,是指过去曾有这样想法,但事实却不是这样。
I think …是指现在这样认为,往往与事实是相符的。例如:
I think he is a thief.
I thought he was a thief.
When I got home last night, I thought I had lost my keys. Fortunately, they were in my pocket all the time.
我昨晚回家的时候,我原以为我把钥匙丢掉了。幸好,他们一直在我的口袋里,但我忘记了。
