高三英语第二十二单元(3)
2.…many more came to it one after another in a short time . 不一会儿,越来越多的蜜蜂很快就来了。
〖明晰〗(1)one after another一个接一个地(着重表达连续性,且是三者以上), 不时变 形为one…after another。但one after the other 一个接一个地(常指两个间的连续动作),有时也变形为one…after the other。而one by one 一个一个地,依次地(不着重连续性,而着重逐个,各个)如:
They entered the meeting-room one after another.
他们一个一个地进了会议室。
We destroyed the enemy forces one by one.我们各个地歼不敌军。
(2)in a short time 很快,不久。in such a short time 在如此短时间内。
3. Von Frisch wanted to find out whether the dance told them how far away the feeding place was . 冯.弗里施想要弄清楚这种舞是否告诉它们喂食的地方离得有多远。
〖明晰〗how far away有多远距离(带与静态性动词连用)。而how far多远(多与移动性动词连用)。如:
How far did you go?你走了多远?
How far away do you live?你住得多远?
4.The dancer ran in a straight line, wagging from side to side . 跳舞的蜜蜂沿着直线跑,边跑边左右摇摆。
〖明晰〗(1)in a straight line 以直线的方式。in 常用于表达形式、方式、排列等,译作 “按照,以,符合于”。 如:stand in a circle 站成圆圈, speak in a whisper低声讲话,run in threes and fours三五成群的跑,in a good order井井有条地,in my opinion/view以我之见。
(2)from side to side从一侧到另一侧;左右地。 已学过的类似无结构还有:from mouth to mouth 口口相传,from sun to sun 从日出到日落, from door to door沿门,挨家挨户地,from day to day日复一日地,from end to end从头至 尾(=from cover to cover), from hand to hand从一人之手到队人之手, from time时常,不时。
5. Back at the hive they watched the wagging dance closely . 他们回到蜂房旁,密切注视着摇摆舞。
〖明晰〗closely密切地。close 既可作形容词表“密切的”又可作副词表“紧紧地”亲近地。 象这种有两种形式的副词在使用中应注意:一般与形容词同形的副词不能用在动词 之前,而带-ly的副词可以;与形容词同形的副词不能置于It be…that强调句型中,而带-ly的副词则可以;表示距离远近、物体高度、深度及宽度时,与形容词同形的副词往往表具体含义;而加-ly的副词表抽象意义。又如:
We flew high in the sky.我们在高空飞行。
We think highly of their research.我们对他们的研究评价很高。
6. He set out to discover whether the wagging dance showed direction . 他开始着手发现这种摇摆舞是否表明方向。
〖明晰〗set out to do 开始干/set about doing开始干/set off for 出发到某地;使燥炸
7.sit up for sb; sit up with sb; sleep late; stay late; stay up
〖明晰〗(1)sit up for sb深夜不睡以等待某人;sit up with sb 熬夜照看(或护理)某人。如:He sat up for his son, who sat up with his sick mother-in-law.
他深夜不睡等待儿子回家,他的儿子通宵未睡照看生病的岳母。
(2)sleep late睡懒觉;stay late(或stay up late)很晚才睡觉。如:
I wonder why Tom never sleeps late and Mike always stays up late.
