课文详注 Further notes on the text
1.my four-year-old daughter,我那4岁的女儿。
four-year-old 是名词 daughter的定语。各词用连字符连在一起,构成一个复合形容词。注意在这个复合词中仅用 year,而不用复数:
a thirteen-year-old girl 一个13岁的姑娘
2.… Sally was invited to a children's party. ……萨莉被邀请去参加一个儿童聚会。
这是一个被动语态的例子。在英文中,如果想避免用含混不清的词(如 someone等)作主语,常常可使用被动词态。(具体请参见本课语法部分。)被动语态由相应的be动词加上过去分词构成:
It is repaired regularly.
它定期修理。
They are corrected regularly.
它们得到了定期校正。
He was met at the station this morning.
今早有人在车站接他。
3.a middle-aged lady,一位中年女士。
middle-aged是一个复合形容词,由名词+过去分词构成。又如:
hand-made手工制作的
4.opposite Sally,在萨莉的对面。
这是介词短语,作状语,表示sat的具体情况。
5.take out,拿出。
6.make up her face,往她的脸上施脂粉。
make up意为“化妆”、“打扮”(指擦胭脂、抹粉)。
7.To make myself beautiful …
把自己打扮漂亮……
这是一个省略句,句首省略了I am doing that,而只留下这个作目的状语的动词不定式短语。
8.put away,收拾好,储存备用。
语法 Grammar in use
被动语态(1)
英语动词有主动语态和被动语态之分。在主动句中,动词的主语是执行动作的人或物。在被动句中,主语是动作的承受者。
在英语中被动词态用得很普遍,这样做可以避免用不明确的词作主语,或是将说话的重点放在事件而不是造成该事件的人或物上。
被动语态的构成: be +过去分词。
过去分词不一定指过去。请看例句:
(1)一般现在时形式: am/are/is +过去分词:
The room is aired regularly.
这个房间定期通风。
The knives are sharpened regularly.
刀定期磨。
(2)一般过去时形式: was/were +过去分词:
She was dressed in red.
她身穿红色衣服。
The windows were opened this morning.
窗户今早是开着的/被打开了。
(3)英语中表达感情的动词通常可用于被动式,这些动词如
amuse, embarrass, worry, surprise, interest, upset等:
She is embarrassed.
她感到尴尬。
They were worried.
他们感到担忧。

他经济上陷入了困境。
