content

1.motivation:不是“动机”,而是“热情,动力”


2.point out:指出,提醒注意

out是副词而不是介词,因为point out sth.=point sth. out


3.credit sth. to:把前者归因于后者

I credit my success to good luck.

4.credit sb. with sth.:认为某人有某特征

credit dolphin with motive of live saving:认为海豚有救命这个动机


5.场合,情况的表达→(一个场合,两个情况,分别搭配介词上、中、下)

  • on/upon ... occasion:在这种场合
  • in ... instance
  • in most instance:大多数情况下
  • under ... circumstance
  • under no circumstances:译为“绝不要做某事”
Under no circumstances should you approach that man.

6.两连接语

  • in that:因为
  • but that,except that:除了什么之外;要不是什么

7.表“无论...,尽管...”的让步状语从句

  • However intelligent they may be ...
  • No matter how intelligent they may be
  • though/although/even though/while they may be intelligent

注:强调式改写的诀窍:要强调的adj.提前;原连词气走;跟上小秘书as

  • Intelligent as they may be
Although she is beatiful,... → Beatiful as she is,...

8.介词of可表示前者与后者是一种同位语关系

所以 motive of life saving 中,motive 与 life saving 是同位语关系,不译为“救人的动机”,而是“救人这个动机”


9.句子中的状语前置,宾语后置现象

英语中,句式平衡比合法句子结构有更高优先级,所以产生了状语前置,宾语后置现象。如果在阅读理解中发现及物动词后不跟宾语,宾语往往是放在后面——很可能因为它带了一个长定语从句
→ 写句子时也可利用这一点,把及物动词后的东西靠后放。
