词组
refer to ——即,指的是
converted to/into ——转化为
access to ——可接近,可得到的
(FG大之前还讲了个更常用的:available to )
alternative to ——可做另选的
guide to ——指导的
beneficial to ——有利的
linked to ——相关联的
opposed to ——与... 相反地、不同的
contributed to ——对...有贡献的
。。。
万变不离其中,上述formula 其实就是动/名词+to/into.
当然有些动词需要变换形式:
-ing
-ed
v-(原形:refer)
n-(名词:access\guide)
a-(形容词:alternative\beneficial)
所谓动词变形就是把它变成动名词(就是名词),形容词(-ed,-ing,-en|过去式,动名词,过去分词)。
这些用法一般是统一的:都放在所修饰的名词之后。
(上述有些词组是用作谓语形式的,所以是动词原形,如果作为后置定语,修饰前面的中心词,则需要根据句意做出相应变形。)
一般来说:
主语——Having a small amount of red wine* has been shown to increase the health benefits.
介词之后——The benefits of adopting the whole dietary pattern
定语——It can also be useful for people wishing to lose weight.
状语——I often read a book when traveling by train.
用动词ing形式
虚拟语气
转述建议,用that从句,又称为虚拟语气。
从句常含情态动词,通常是should.
如果不用情态动词,句子语气显得更加正式。
The WHO recommend (that) we (should) eat five portions of fruit and vegetables a day.
It was his doctor who advised that he (should) change his job.
I suggested that he (should) bring them all up to the house.
注:在某些情况下,省略从句主语时,可将谓语变换为-ing形式。
Barbara suggested going to another coffee-house.
Deirdre proposed moving to New York.
I recommend writing your feelings down on paper.
I'd advise waiting until tomorrow.
(看看即可)
【拓展】所有后接从句时需要用should的动词:
advise propose recommend suggest urge——表建议
agree ask beg command demand order direct request——表命令
decree insist intend plead pray prefer rule stipulate ——表主观
见此不必着急,知识是一点一滴积累来的,谁都不可能一口吃个胖子。
最赞叹的一个成语是:
