本课介绍

本课主要语言点
1. Many primitive7 people believed that by eating an animal they could get some of the good qualities of that animal for themselves.
本句中that 引导的是一个宾语从句。宾语从句在前几个单元中大家已有了比较多的认知。学会宾语从句并不困难。请看下面的句子:
1) You must remember that it is never too old to learn.(你需要记住:活到老学到老。)
2) He says that friendship is very important to him.(他说友谊对他非常重要。)
3) Don't forget what your parents said to you.(别忘了爸爸妈妈告诉你过的话。)
4) Can you tell me where the bookstore is?(你能告诉我书店在什么地方吗?)
5) I don't know whether the letter is overweight.(我不了解这封信是不是超重。)
by 后面跟动词的目前分词表示某人做了某件事,并通过这件事产生了某个结果。请看下面的句子:
1)By bribing8 a nurse I was able to see some files.(通过贿赂护士我才大概看到一些卷宗。)
2)They made a living by selling newspapers.(他们通过卖报谋生。)
3)He tried to solve his problem by cheating me.(他通过骗我来解决我们的问题。)
4)We learn to swim by swimming.(大家在游泳中掌握游泳。)
2. They thought that eating deer would make them run as fast as the deer.
本句中that同样是引导一个宾语从句。在宾语从句中,动名词短语eating deer做主语。请看下面的句子:
1) Chatting on the internet would make him forget everything.(在网上聊天会使他忘记所有。)
2) Putting on air wouldn't do you any good.(摆架子不会对你有哪些好处。)
3) Making friends with them is no easy job.(跟他们交朋友不是一件容易的事。)
make sb. do sth.意思是使某人做某事。make 后面的复合宾语中动词不定式符号to要省去,但用被动语态时必须要用to,请看下面的句子:
1) The boss made them work from morning till night.(老板使他们从早到晚地干活。)
2) He made me sit here all the time.(他让我一直坐在这儿。)
3) She was made to finish the book in two days (by her father)。(爸爸让她两天把书看完。)
