【Text】
Joe Sanders has the most beautiful garden in our town. Nearly everybody enters for 'The Nicest Garden Competition' each year, but Joe wins every time. Bill Frith's garden is larger than Joe's. Bill works harder than Joe and grows more flowers and vegetables, but Joe's garden is more interesting. He has made neat paths and has built a wooden bridge over a pool. I like gardens too, but I do not like hard work. Every year I enter for the garden competition too, and I always win a little prize for the worst garden in the town!
参考译文
乔.桑德斯拥有我们镇上最漂亮的花园. 几乎每个人都参加每年举办的“最佳花园竞赛” , 而每次都是乔获胜. 比尔.弗里斯的花园比乔的花园大, 他比乔也更为勤奋, 种植的花卉和蔬菜也更多, 但乔的花园更富有情趣. 他修筑了一条条整洁的小路, 并在一个池塘上架了一座小木桥. 我也喜欢花园, 但我却不愿意辛勤劳动. 每年的花园竞赛我也参加, 但总因是镇上最劣的花园而获得一个小奖!
【课文讲解】
1、Joe Sanders has the most beautiful garden in our town. Joe's garden is the most beautiful.
Bill's garden is the largest. Bill’s garden is larger than Joe’s. (比较的东西都是同类的事物joe’s 的“’s”不能省略)
2、Nearly everybody enters for 'The Nicest Garden Competition' each year, but Joe wins every time.
nearly和almost意义相似,表示“几乎”、“差不多”、“差点儿”的意思。
I have nearly forgotten his name. 我差点把他的名字忘了。
I’m nearly/almost ready. 我快准备好了。
enter for 报名参加(各种竞赛,考试等活动)
win(won,won)v. 赢
①vi. 赢I win. I lose. (输了)
②vt. 赢得……win something 后面往往是奖品,不能接对手
I win the book. I win the gold cup. win a prize 赢得了一个奖
win a prize for…因为……而获奖
defeat [dɪ'fit]战胜,击败+对手I defeat you.
3、Bill Frith's garden is larger than Joe's.
名词加-’s 表示所属关系,构成名词的所有格。这类名词往往指有生命的东西,特别是人。所有格的语法作用相当于形容词,限定后面的名词。这个被限定的名词在上下文中第二次被提到时可以省略,只要不引起误解。
4、He has made neat paths and has built a wooden bridge over a pool. make 和build在这里是同义词,“修建,建造”。make 的词义比较笼统、广泛,可解释为“做、作出、制造”等,而build主要限于建筑业,指“建造,建设,盖房子,修筑(桥梁)等”
Have you made the skirt by yourself?
They have made a road along the river.
【Key structures】
形容词和副词的比较级和最高级
比较级相当于汉语中“比……更……”这种句型,最高级则表示在某个范围“最……”的概念。最高级在使用时前面通常要加定冠词the,并有一个短语或从句限定其范围。
1、比较级和最高级的构成:
①单音节词和少数双音节词在词尾加-er,-est,以辅音加-y结尾的词变-y 为-i,再加-er,-est.②以-e 结尾的词加-r,-st.③以一个辅音字母结尾的单音节词要双写最后一个字母,再加-er,-est.④三个或者是三个音节以上(多音节),比较级的构成: more+原级;最高级的构成: the most+原级.有
