当我年幼时,我总就是听着收音机,等候着我最喜欢歌曲 When they played, I’d sing along.It made me smile. 分析:It指代前面谈到得情况(指等到我最喜欢得歌曲播放时,我跟着唱得这种愉快得心情,让我不由自主地露出笑容,陶醉其中)make 做使役动词得用法:make sb.do) Those were such happy times and not so long ago. 分析:(1) Those代表前面提到(指等到我最喜欢得歌曲播放时,我跟着唱得这种愉快得心情,让我不由自主地露出笑容,陶醉其中),与It 对应,就是It得复数形式;be动词得过去式中复数人称得形式出现;指示代词such修饰happy,such happy 一起修饰times (2) and not so long ago并列句得省略用法 How I wondered where they’d gone. 分析:How引导得感叹句做主句;where they’d gone为连接副词where引导得宾语从句,做主句动词wonder得宾语;they’d gone=they had gone过去完成时态) But they’re back again,just like a long lost friend. 分析:they’re back=they are back一般现在时,表示目前状况;be back动词短语搭配 just like a long lost friend.强调副词just得用法,并与介词like组成

英语语法、句式、简单句子结构(透彻分析)

LESSON ONE 句子的三种模式 导言本课的重点是掌握英语的三种基本句型,注意词性和词序,以及定语的位置,同时注意中英文表达上的相同和不相同的地方。三种基本句型虽然简单,但至关重要。掌握好它们,在今后的学习中有一通百通之效。 ▲主+系动词+表 注:*注意该结构中的名词,它们能被定语修饰。 1 这个人是一个老师。The man is a teacher. 主语系表语主语系表语(名词) 2 他(是)很忙。He is busy. 主语系表语主语系表语(形容词) ▲注意中文中的系动词经常被省略,而英文中绝不能省。 3 她(是)在教室里。She is in the classroom.

主语系表语主语系表语(介词短语) ▲定语只修饰名词,不破坏句子的基本结构。通常由形容词和介词短语充当,形容词放在所修饰的名词之前,而介词短语放在所修饰的名词之后,请注意英语与汉语词序的不同。看懂中文的定语是翻译好定语的关键。 介词短语 ---英国法学家波洛克 介词短语 Happiness is a station -----------Pollock, British jurist 形容词介词短语 5 形容词介词短语 man is a teacher 介词短语形容词

6.教室里。 形容词介词短语 The teacher is handsome. My book is 表语(介词短语)定语(介词短语) She is 介词短语即可以做表语也可以做定语,虽然它们词性相同,但由于词序不同,它们所起到的作用也不同,当在is的后面是表语,跟在名词的后面它就起到定语的作用。 课堂练习 1 1是

Globalization and Internet (全球化/Internet) The drawing vividly unfolds …(Describe the picture描述图画) This phenomenon which this picture points out is one of numerous international phenomena to have become common and already attracted broad attention in the world in recent years. Globalization/Internet, in brief, makes the whole world a small village.

(完整版)英语句子成分分析(最完整版)

英语句子成分只是英语语法中的一小部分,而且平时的考试也不会考,试卷上不会考你什么是宾语,什么是状语,这个单词是作什么成分,但是它是学英语的基础或者说是你学习其他语法的工具(比如学定语从句、非谓语动词等等)。学会它最直接的作用是对阅读和写英语句子有帮助,有很多人单词都知道,但是,读句子的时候,就是不知道哪些单词和哪些单词是组合在一起的;写句子的时候,就是不知道该把把哪个单词放在前,哪个单词放在后。句子成分就是帮你来分析单词和单词的关系,让你能比较容易地看懂句子和写出符合英语表达的英语句子。 第一章英语句子结构的简单认识 那么,什么是句子结构呢?说白了,就是在一个句子内部,一个个单词是怎么组织在一起的,为什么有的单词放在句子前面,有的单词放在句子的后面;在一个复杂的句子中各个句子是怎么组合起来的。曾见过这样的句子:I very like English (我非常喜欢英语) I at home had supper(我在家吃的晚饭 ),上面的两个句子是常见典型错句,你能看出来他们错在哪里吗? 那么,对于英语句子结构来说,我们要掌握什么呢?首先你头脑中要有词类的概念(每一个单词都是什么词性),然后学会简单句五种基本句型及句子成分的分析,再然后就是并列句和复合句的分析。 第二章词类概念建立以及词类分析能力的培养 第一节词类分析能力的自我培养之秘笈 一个词的词性不止一个,通常有两个或两个以上(如work 可以作名词或动词,但这个词一旦放在句中,它的词性就确定了,(如: His work is good ,本句中的work 肯定是名词.) 基于以上原因,词类概念的建立以及词类分析能力的建立,说白了就是指:看到一个词,立刻就能反应出这个词属于哪个词类;看到句子中的单词,立刻就能确定出这个词的词性,这是一项能力,你不可能通过死记硬背学会的. 为什么需要你知道一个个单词属于哪个词类,知道这些有什么用呢? 要知道,理解掌握词类是理解句子结构及成分的基础,大脑中没有词类的概念,一切都无从谈起,,想想看,它是何等的重要. 怎么才能建立词类概念以及具备词类分析能力呢? 三“活”就是通过分析的方法,不是通过死记来确定一个单词的词性,大体上有以下三种途径: 其一,从词类概念的本身出发去分析单词的词性(见第二节) 举个简单的例子,cake 这个词,中文意思:蛋糕,是一种食品的名称,,ok 了,不用再去背 cake 名词 cake 名词。这一方法的运用需要你把对单词中文意思的了解和对十大词类概念的理解两者结合起来才能运用自如.,只需在大脑中一闪词义,就知道其词性了,如果你连单词词义都不知,那偶就没办法了. 其二, 从单词的构词法入手来判断词性,构词法即构成单词的方法,其中一种是派生法,是通过加前后缀来构成单词的,英语中相当一部分单词是通过这种方法构成的,,一般来说,前缀是表明单词的词义,后缀表明单词的词性(词类),因此,从后缀我们大致可以判断出单词的词性.例如一般来讲加ly的形容词都是副词:quickly badly really completely 等等,. 其三,从句子成分来分析.实际上.学习词类和确定词类是为了分析句子成分,反过来,当我们学会句子分析后,我们还可以确定单词的词性(对一词多种词性的单词非常有用),,就是说可

Globalization 译文

Globalization 全球化 A fundamental shift is occurring in the world economy. We are moving rapidly away from a world in which national economies were relatively self-contained entities, isolated from each other by barriers to cross-border trade and investment; by distance, time zones, and language; and by national differences in government regulation, culture, and business systems. And we are moving toward a world in which barriers to cross-border trade and investment are tumbling; perceived distance is shrinking due to advances in transportation and telecommunications technology; material culture is starting to look similar the world over; and national economies are merging into an interdependent global economic system. The process by which this is occurring is commonly referred to as globalization. 世界经济正在发生着根本性的改变。我们正迅速地远离这么一个世界,在这个世界里国家经济实体都曾经是相对自给自足,彼此孤立的,就其原因或是设置跨境贸易和投资的壁垒所致,或是因距离、时差和语言的缘故所致;或是因政府监管、文化和商业体制上的的国家差异所致。与此同时,我们正在走向另外一个世界,在这个世界里,跨境贸易和投资的壁垒正在摇摇欲坠,原来感知到的距离因为交通和电信技术上的进步而正在缩小;物质文化在全世界开始看起来都很相似;各种经济实体正融入一个彼此依赖的全球经济体制中。而正在发生的这一个过程,人们通常把它称为全球化。 Correspondent: Globalization has been one of the most important factors to affect business over the last twenty years. How is it different from what existed before? Companies used to export to other parts of the world from a base in their home country. Many of the connections between exporting and importing countries had a historical basis. Today, to be competitive, companies are looking for bigger markets and want to export to every country. They want to move into the global market. To do this many companies have set up local bases in different countries. Two chief executives will talk about how their companies dealt with going global. Percy Barnevik, one of the world’s most admired business leaders when he was Cha irman of the international engineering group ABB and Dick Brown of telecommunications provider Cable & Wireless. Cable & Wireless already operates in many countries and is well-placed to take advantage of the increasingly global market for telecommunications. For Dick Brown globalization involves the economies of countries being connected to each other and companies doing business in many countries and therefore having multinational accounts. 记者: 过去20多年以来,全球化已经成为影响业务的最重要因素之一。那么,现在的全球化与以前有何不同呢? 过去的公司都是把在本国生产基地的商品出口到世界其他各地。进出口各国之间都有着千丝万缕的联系,其中许多联系都有其历史基础。当今,要想具有竞争力,各个公司都在寻求更大的市场,都想把产品出口到每一个国家,都想迈入全球化市场,为此,许多公司都在不同国家建立了本土化基地。今天我们请来两位总裁,让他们来谈谈他们的公司是如何应对全球化的。一位是珀西·巴恩维克,在担任国际工程集团ABB主席一职时,曾是世界上最令人羡慕的商界领袖之一;另一位是迪克·布朗,来自英国大东电报局(Cable&Wireless)的电信提供商。 大东电报局已经在许多国家营运起来了,而且定位很准,充分利用电信业上的日益增长的全球化市场。对迪克·布朗来说,全球化包括彼此联系的各个国家经济实体和在许多国家做生意的、从而拥有跨国账户的公司。 Dick Brown: The world is globalizing and the telecommunications industry is becoming more and more global, and so we feel we’re well-positioned in that market place.

全球化的影响(英文)

全球化的影响 范文(一) Nowadays we can enjoy the same films, fashions, brands, advertisements and TV channels. The evident difference between countries is disappearing. To what extent do you think the disadvantages overweight the advantages of this? Globalization creates conditions for widening international exchanges, strengthening mutual understanding between nations, expanding cultural, educational, and scientific cooperation between nations and countries, enjoying the cultural achievements of people around the world which encourages the process of modernization and the enrichment of national culture. However, these conditions also create the possible danger of diminishing the national culture with a negative impact on the pre123vation of national identity. Through globalization and an open door policy, erroneous concepts and a lowering of ethical standards, a selfish and individualistic lifestyle and harmful cultural products can easily be imported into the country. At present, modern information technology which in the main is controlled by US is hourly and intensively disseminating US ideology, way of life, culture and films across the world. Even US food is promoted so that some people consider globalization as global Americanization. During the process of economic globalization, inequality between developed and developing countries has been increasing and the gap between the rich and the poor has become wider, most of the result of globalization go to assist developed countries. Globalization does not pose equal interests and risks to all nations. With an overwhelming advantage compared to most of the developing countries in terms of finance and the level of science and technology, developed ca123alist countries control the situation of economic globalization. For these reasons, globalization is a fierce and complicated struggle in both cultural and ideological fields. We take the initiative in international economic integration but also have to take the initiative in fighting to keep our distinct culture resisting pro-foreign and cross-bred phenomena, and overcoming the psychology of preferring money over ethical values.
