Unit 1
【词条1. alone】
例句:I don’t like living alone.
我不喜欢独处。
点拨:alone既可用作形容词,也可用作副词,意为“单独的(地)”、“独立的(地)”。用作形容词时,习惯上只作表语,强调的是没有另外的人在场的“单独”,并不指心灵上的孤独。例如:
Her parents were dead and she was alone. 她父母死了,她单独一个人。
The old man lives alone.
那位老人独自生活。
拓展:与alone意义相近的词是lonely。lonely意为“孤独的”、“寂寞的”,有较浓厚的感情色彩,指因缺少朋友、同情、友谊时产生的一种悲伤和忧郁的感情。它是一个形容词,在句中作表语或定语。用作定语时,意为“荒凉偏僻”,一般多修饰表示地点的名词。例如:
Was there someone else on this lonely island? 在这个荒岛上还有别的人吗?
I’m alone, but I don’t feel lonely.
我独自一个人,但不感到孤单。
【词条2. able】
例句:At the weekends, I’ll be able to dress more casually. 周末的时候我会穿得更随意一些。
点拨:able是形容词,意为“能;能够”,常用于be able to 结构。例如:
She is able to dance. 她会跳舞。
I shall be able to speak English well.
我的英语讲得很好。
拓展:can和be able to二者都可以表示“能”、“会”,当表示现在和过去“力所能及”时,一般可以相互换用。例如:
I can/am able to speak a little English now. 我现在会说一些英语。
He was able to/could swim when he was eight years old. 他八岁就会游泳。
但它们也有区别:
1)be able to的过去时还可以表示一种“经过努力做到了”的意思,can的过去时则没有这种意义。例如:
He started late, but he was able to catch the eight o’clock train. 他出发晚了,但他努了一把力,还是赶上了八点钟的火车。
2)can通常只用于一般现在时和一般过去时,而be able to可用于各种时态。例如:
You will be able to learn another foreign language in two years. 两年后你将能够学会另一门外语。
He hasn’t been able to go to office for a month. 他已经一个月没能上班了。
3)be able to可用于不定式的后面,而can则不行。例如:
I hope to be able to go fishing with you.
我希望能和你一起去钓鱼。
4)在表示猜测时,只能用can, 而不能用be able to。例如:
Mr. Green can’t be at home now.
现在格林先生不可能在家。
【词条3. dress】
例句:She washed, dressed and went out.
她洗完脸穿好衣服就出去了。
点拨:dress可指穿衣服的动作,用作不及物动词时,表示“穿好衣服”,用作及物动词时,后面要接“人”,不接“衣服”,表示“给某人穿衣服”。例如:
My daughter is old enough to dress herself. 我的女儿长大了,可以自己穿衣服了。
Could you dress the child for me?
你能不能替我给孩子穿上衣服?
dress也可以指“穿着”衣服的状态。例如:
She always dresses in red.
她总是穿红色的衣服。
He dresses well. 他穿得体面。
拓展:与dress意义相近的还有:put on,wear和in。三者均有“穿、戴”之意,但用法不同:
put on意为“穿上、戴上”,指穿戴的动作,强调从没穿戴到穿上、戴上这一动作的转变。例如:
This is your new shirt. Put it on, please.
这是你的新衬衣。请把它穿上。
wear意为“穿着、戴着”,强调穿戴的状态。例如:
She is wearing a red coat today.
今天她穿着一件红色的上衣。
in是介词,也可以用来表示“穿着、戴着”,be in 相当于be wearing。“in+表示颜色的词”可以用来表示穿某种颜色的衣服。例如:
The girl in the hat is Lucy.
戴着帽子的女孩是露西。
She is in white today.
今天她穿着白色的衣服。
【词条4. such】
例句:People would not like to do such jobs and would get bored. 人类不喜欢这样的工作,而且很容易觉得乏味。
点拨:such是形容词,意为“这样的;这种”,用来修饰名词。例如:
Don’t be in such a hurry. 不要如此匆忙。
It was such a hot day. 这么热的一天。
拓展:与such意义相近的词是so, 但so是副词,用来修饰形容词和副词。例如:

She is such a good girl. 她真是个好女孩。
请看记忆口诀:
名前such,形、副so①,多多少少(many, much, few, little)仍用so②。
注:①名词前面要用such。so后常跟形容词或副词。例如:
He sings so well. 他唱歌唱得那么好。
They are such good teachers.
他们是多么好的老师。
如such后接单数名词,a(an)应放在such之后,不可放在前面。例如:
I have never seen such an interesting film. 我从未看过这么有趣的电影。
②如名词前有 many, much, few, little修饰,应用so,不用such。例如:
She has so many books. 她有这么多书。
There is so little time that we can’t finish the work on time. 时间那么少,我们不能按时完成那项工作。
特别提醒:当little不表示“少”的意思时,其前仍用such。例如:
They are such little children that they can’t do anything. 他们是小孩子,什么也不能做。
另外;“such a/an+形容词+单数名词”可以转换成:“so+形容词+a/an+单数名词”。例如:
This is such an interesting story that we all want to listen to it.=This is so interesting a story that we all want to listen to it.
请注意:so可用作代词,用在诸如:I hope so.(我希望如此。);I don’t think so.(我不这样想。)等等这类句型中。such不能用于此类句型中。例如:
——Will it be fine tomorrow?
明天会是晴天吗?
