Exercise 1.I replied to her that _______________ (我将会接受她的邀请).
2.She was angry with her husband ,so _____________ (她不理不睬)when he spoke to her.
3.How could we get news in our own society or abroad ______________ (没有报纸的话)?
答案与解析 1. I would accept her invitation 解析:本题考点一是时态的一致。由于前半句时态是replied,因此“将要”应译为would。本题考点二是“接受”的英文表达。accept和receive都有表示接受的意思。receive指客观已经发生的情况。它只表明事实上收到某物而不管接受者主观上是否愿意接受。如:My father received a letter this morning. 而accept带有主动或赞许的意味,表示不但收下某物,而且内心也同意接受。如:Please accept my little present.下面这句话可以帮助大家分清两个词的使用域:He received an invitation yesterday but he did not accept it.(他昨天收到一份邀请,但却没有接受。)
2. she ignored him 解析:由句意可知,她是对丈夫生气了,因而丈夫和她说话时她不予理睬。本题要注意ignore和neglect在含义上的差别。Ignore是故意不理睬别人,而neglect是表示疏忽(责任等),并非故意,常和to连用,如:Don’t neglect to lock the door.
3. without newspaper 解析:本句是一个与现在事实相反的虚拟语气句,虚拟语气句并不一定全部要用if条件句引导。很多情况下,一些介词或介词短语,副词短语的出现要求整个句子使用虚拟语气。without就是其中之一。如:I couldn’t have passed this exam without your help.(没有你的帮助,我不可能通过这次考试。)这句话用if条件句来表达就是I couldn’t have passed this exam if I hadn’t had your help. 除了without外,英语里还有很多这样的词或短语是虚拟语气标志词。如:as if,as though,lest,for fear that,in case,even if,even though,in order that,so that,大家在复习虚拟语气语法点的时候要注意总结。
