新概念二Lesson 47 知识点整理

汤姆可能在车祸中伤的很重。
3.can/ could have done表示对过去的推测，一般只用在否定句和疑问句中。
eg. I think he couldn’t have gone abroad. I saw him just now.
我认为他不可能出国了，我刚刚看见了他。
4.should have done和ought to have done,都表示“过去本应该做某事却没有做”，ought to在语气上比should强。而其否定形式表示“不该做某事却做了”。
经典句型
1.A public house which was recently bought by Mr. Ian Thompson is up forsale.
2.He told me that he could not go to sleep one night because he heard a strange noise coming from the bar.
eg.This problem is up for discussion.这个问题有待于讨论
注：for sale和on sale的区别：
<1> for sale:出售
eg. These are not for sale.这些东西不出售。
<2> on sale主要有两个意思：
a.同样表示一种出售的状态，可以与for sale互换。
3.The next morning, he found that the doors had been blocked by chairsand the furniture had been move.
4.He also said that he had found five empty whisky bottles which the ghost must have drunk the night before.

When they were getting old and wanted to retire, they had to think what to do with their business. They could not sell it, because no one would buy it. They did not want to leave it to any of their daughters, because none of them was interested in the business. They had to find a son-in-law who would be able to run the business for them.All three daughters were already engaged, but none of the young men was in the business. Mr and Mrs Richards were very worried and did not know what to do.One day, a young man called at their house. He said he wanted to marry their youngest daughter. He was a stranger to the family, but he was very nice and polite.Mr and Mrs Richards liked him, but they were not sure whether he was the right person to run the business. They decided to give him a chance.After a year of marriage, the young man had proved himself to be a very good businessman. Mr and Mrs Richards were very pleased and made him a partner in the business.。
