?我們一般用whether or not來表示“是否……”的意思,上面的例句我們也可以將or not放在句子末尾使用: I have no way of telling whether what he says is true or not. ?whether和weather雖然讀音相同,但意思可完全不同。weather表示“天氣”,千萬不要和whether混淆哦。 知識拓展點(diǎn): He left the office early today because he felt a bit under the weather.
?allow for可以用來表示“考慮到;顧及”的意思,和take something into consideration的意思相同: The jury were asked to take the age of the accused into consideration. 知識拓展點(diǎn): Smoking is not allowed in this place.
?vacation可以表示“假期”的意思,主要用在美式英語中。take a vacation就表示“度假”的意思,需要注意的是,“度假”可不能用have vacation這種說法哦,這是一種典型的中式英語的思路。我們一般用on vacation來表示度假的狀態(tài): I'm on vacation this week. ?once in a while表示“偶爾”的意思。除此之外,我們還可以用once in a while、now and then等短語來表示相同的意思。 知識拓展點(diǎn): The professor is vacationing in Europe.
?in part表示“部分地”,和partly的意思相同。所以上面的例句還可以寫為: The decay of the temple is partly due to acid rain. ?我們還可以用large或the most來修飾in part的程度。例如,如果想表示“寺廟腐壞的大部分原因在于酸雨?!蔽覀儎t可以說: The decay of the temple is due, in large part, to acid rain. 知識拓展點(diǎn): She is a woman of many parts: musician, writer and actress. |
