Module 1 Hobbies
内容详解
1. Which hobby do you think takes up the least spacc?
你认为哪种爱好占用最少的空间?
(1)do you think在此用作插入语,意为“你认为,你觉得”。
When do you think they will arrive here?
你觉得他们会在什么时候到达这里?
How many books do you think there are in the box? 你认为箱子里有多少本书?
注意
do you think后的句子要用陈述语序。
(2)take up 占据
take up既可指时间上的“占据”,也可指空间上的“占据”。
The job takes up all my time. 这项工作占用了我所有的时间。
The table takes up too much room.这张桌子太占空间。
注意
take up是一个由动词加副词构成的短语动词,当它的宾语是代词时,必须放在两者之间。
[联想]
take off 起飞;脱下take out 拿出take away 拿走take back 归还take down 取下take photos 拍照take part in 参加
2. Sorry it's a bit untidy. 抱歉,这儿有点乱。
a bit意为“有点儿;稍微”,该短语在句中作程度状语,用来修饰形容词、副词、动词或介词短语。
a bit还可修饰比较级。
I was a bit ill. 我有点不舒服。
He is a bit older than I. 他比我大一点。
辨析:a hit与a little
相同之处:(1)两者都可以用作名词词组,意为“一点;少许”,在句中作主语或宾语;(2)两者都可以用作副词词组,用来修饰形容词、副词(原级或比较级)或动词。
不同之处:(1)作定语时,a little直接修饰不可数名词,而a bit后面需要加of;(2)如果两者的前面加上not, 则其意义完全不同。
not a bit=not at all,通常用作状语;not a little=very,可用作状语或定语。
一言辨异
Our English teacher often says that she is not a bit tired but in fact she is not a little tired.
我们的英语老师经常说她一点儿也不累,其实她非常累。
3. I'll tidy up the table and chairs. 我来收拾一下桌椅。
tidy up收拾,整理!
tidy up是由动词tidy和副词up构成的动词短语。
它的宾语如果是名词,既坷以放在tidy和up之间,又可放在tidy up之后;如果它的宾语是代词,则必须放在tidy和up中间。
Lingling, please help tidy up the dinner table.
= Lingling, please help tidy the dinner table up. 玲玲,请帮忙收拾一下饭桌。
There are so many books on the desk. I'll tidy them up. 课桌上有这么多书,我将整理一下。
拓展
tidy还可用作形容词,意为“整洁的”,可以在句子中作定语或表语。
tidy的反义词是untidy,意为“不整洁的”。

Their sitting room is very tidy/untidy. 他们的客厅非常整洁/不整洁。
4. You've got a wonderful collection. 你的收藏太棒了。

I have got a new pen pal from the United States. 我有一位来自美国的新笔友。
He has got a lovely dog. 他有一只可爱的小狗。
温馨提示
(1)have / has got与have / has尽管含义相同,但从时态上看,前者是现在完成时,后者是一般现在时,故构成疑问句和否定句时应注意区别对待。
Have you got a new radio? Do you have a new radio? 你有一台新收音机吗?
(2)collection是名词,意为“收集;收藏品”。
collector也是一个名词,意为“收藏家;收藏者”。
collect是动词,意为“收集”。

(1)make + sb. + adj. 使某人……,形容词在句中作宾语补足语。
Her words made me very happy. 她的话让我很开心。
(2)(be) interested in 对……感兴趣
Be / get / become interested in的主语往往是人,常常表示“某人对某事产生兴趣”。
in在这里是一个介词,后面可以跟名词、代词或动词的-ing形式。
Almost all the children are interested in storybooks. 几乎所有的孩子都对故事书感兴趣。
I became interested in making things last year.
去年我对制作东西产生了兴趣。
辨析:interested与interesting

Interesting 既可作表语也可作定语,修饰名词或代词,表示事物的特征或性质。
一言辨异
The students in Class Two are all interested in this interesting story.
二班的学生都对这个有趣的故事感兴趣。
7. I often listened to him play the violin. 我过去经常听他拉小提琴。
(1)listen to,see,hear,watch等感官动词后可以接省to的动词不定式,作宾语补足语,表示经常性的动作或全过程,还可跟v. -ing形式。

8. And he gave me my first violin eight years ago. 八年前,他送给我第一把小提琴。
give sb. sth. 相当于give sth. to sb.. 意思为“给某人某物”。

I gave the boy a book. ( = 1 gave a book to the boy.) 我给了那个男孩一本书。
9. There's a concert at Radio Beijing. 北京电台有一场音乐会。
这是there be结构,它表示“在某地方(或某事)存在什么人或物”,指客观存在。
动词be 与后面相邻的名词在数上保持一致,即“就近原则”。
There be结构与实义动词have不同,前者表“存在”,后者表“所有”。

本句是用现在进行时态表示将来,表示根据安排将要做某事,人作主语宜用现在时态。

温馨提示
现在进行时表示将来,主要用于go,come,leave,start等表示去向的短暂性动词。
I'm leaving tomorrow.明天我要走了。
11. What's happening on Friday? 周五有什么事吗?
happen意为“发生”。
本句中虽然用现在进行时,却表示将来的动作。
这种用法常用来表示一些早已安排好,一般不会改变的即将发生的事情。
My father is leaving for Beijing. 我父亲要去北京。
辨析:happen与take place
(1)happen指具体的情况的发生,特别指那些偶然事件。
An accident happened yesterday. 昨天发生了一场事故。
