Unit 5   Getting the message

  一 词汇知识要点:
  1. advertise
  作“登广告”、“做广告”时,是不及物动词;表示“登广告征求或寻找某物或某人”时,通常与介词for连用。
  eg. He advertised for his lost gold watch.他登广告寻找丢失的金表。

  2. blame
  用作动词时,多及物。意为“责备”、“责怪”、“埋怨”、“归罪于”,可与介词for或on连用。
  eg. I don’t blame you; I blame myself.我不怪你,我怪我自己。

  3. accuse
  及物动词,意思是“控告”、“告发”、“指责”、“谴责”。常与介词of连用,表示“控告某人某事”、“因……而指责某人”。
  eg. The police accused him of theft.警察控告他偷窃。

  4. bargain
  做抽象名词,意义为“交易”、“买卖合同”、“成交条件”;做具体名词时意义为“廉价货”、“便宜货”。
  eg.
  The couple have made a bargain that the husband will do the shopping and the wife will do the cooking.
  那对夫妇讲定了,丈夫买东西,妻子做饭。

  5. in order of 按……顺序
  eg.
  The secretary listed the appointments in order of importance.
  秘书按照重要顺序把那些约会列了个单子。

  6. take… into consideration 考虑到,顾及
  动词take的宾语一般位于take后面,但是如果宾语太长,为了平衡句子,或者是宾语有一个定语从句修饰,为了使先行词紧靠其定语从句,可以把宾语置于consideration后面。
  eg.
  Your teachers will take your recent illness into consideration when they mark your exams.
  你的老师们在评定考试成绩时,会考虑你最近生病的情况的。

  7. make one’s decision作决定
  名词decision常与动词make搭配,表达其相应动词decide的含义。
  decision前面可以用不同的词语。
  eg.
  make a decision      决定                    
  make no decision      没有决定
  make a better decision   作更佳的决定
  make the final decision  作出最后的决定

  8. in charge of 负责,支配,掌管……
  eg.
  Who is in charge here?这儿谁负责?
  Engineer Wang is in charge of the building project.
  王工程师负责这项建筑工程。
  I want to see the manager in charge of sales.
  我想见见主管销售的经理。

  注意:in the charge of的意思是“被……掌管”、“在……的掌管之下”、“由……负责”。
  eg.
  The building project is in the charge of Engineer Wang.
  这项建筑工程由王工程师负责。

  9. hand in hand手牵手地,关联密切地,团结一致
  eg.
  The girls walked hand in hand past the post office.
  女孩子们手拉手地走进邮局。

  10. get across
  让别人(尤其一群人)理解,把事情讲清楚。
  eg.
  Our teacher is clever, but not very good at getting his ideas across to us.
  我们老师很聪明,但他不擅长把自己的观点向我们讲清楚。
  She couldn’t get her feeling across that she wasn’t happy.
  她不开心,但又无法让别人理解她的感情。

  11. look out for
  当心,提防
  eg.
  When you cross the street, look out for traffic.你过马路时要当心车辆。
  Look out for the meat in the kitchen, Tom. Or the dog will eat it.
  汤姆,看着厨房里的肉,否则狗会吃了。

  12. keep an eye out for留心,注意
  eg.
  When you are traveling, always keep an eye out for thieves.
  你外出旅游时,总要留心小偷。

  具有类似意义的短语还有keep an eye on,意思是“注意”、“照看”、“瞧着点”。
  eg.
  I’ll keep a close eye on your family.我将密切注意你的家人。
  Could you keep an eye on the suitcase for me?
  你能替我照看一会儿箱子吗?

  13. point out
  point out意义为“指明”、“指出”。此时point是及物动词,out为副词。
  eg.
  We’ll correct our mistakes, whoever points them out.
  不论谁指出我们的错误,我们都要改正。

  二课文难句解析
  1. On the other hand, critics sometimes accuse companies of using ads to mislead us by making us believe that a certain product is better than it really is or that we will be happier if we buy the product.
  而另一方面,广告的批评者们有时候指责公司用广告误导我们,使我们相信某种产品比其实际情况更好,或者买了该产品后会更高兴。

  这个长句子结构相当复杂,句子的主干部分是critics accuse companies of using ads to mislead us,介词by以及后面的内容做状语,表方式。在这个方式状语中,充当动词make宾语补足语的believe后面接了两个由that引导的宾语从句,两个宾语从句由并列连词or连接。

  2. Truthful ads provide good information that helps customers to decide whether they want or need the advertised product.
  真实的广告提供有用信息帮助顾客来决定他们是否想要或需要被广告的商品。

  (1)句子的主干部分为Truthful ads provide good information,关系代词that引导定语从句修饰先行词information,在该定语从句中,谓语动词helps接的是复合宾语,做宾语补足语的to decide后面接一个whether引导的宾语从句。

  (2)whether… or…通常用以引导一个名词性从句或让步状语从句,可译为“是……还是……”、“不管是……还是……”

  3. Armed with facts and figures, customers are better able to deal with the often powerful arguments given by a salesman or saleswoman.
  手中掌握着确切的事实和数据,顾客们能够更好地应付推销员雄辨之词。

  armed with facts and figures是过去分词短语做状语,表原因或伴随情况。armed是一个被形容词化的过去分词,意为“武装的”、“有……装备的”,常与介词with连用。

  4. Today’s advertisements often start with a question, or a puzzle, with the purpose of attracting the reader’s attention.
  今天的广告常常以一个问题或谜语开头,目的是为了吸引读者的注意力。

  start with相当于begin with,意义为“从……开始”。
  eg.
  Knowledge starts/ begins with practice.知识始于实践。
  He began/started his speech with a story.
  他用一个故事来作为他演讲的开场白。
  另外,动词不定式短语be begin/ start with可用作独立状语,意为“首先”。

  5. In the 1960s, a British car company which made very expensive cars was about to sell its latest car in Germany.
  20世纪60年代,一家生产高档轿车的英国汽车公司即将在德国上市其最新款的轿车。

  (1)“20世纪60年代”有两种英文书写方式,the 1960s和the 1960’s。注意前面必须用定冠词the。再如:in the 1850s/1850’s在19世纪50年代。也可以直接说在“……年代”,如:in the 50s/50’s在50年代。

  (2)be about to do sth.是将来的表达方式之一,表示即将发生的动作。注意:该结构不与任何表示将来的时间状语(如:soon, tomorrow, in half an hour, at 9 p. m)连用。

  三 语法知识:宾语补足语
  宾语补足语是补充和进一步说明宾语的动作、状态、性质特征的成分。
  常用做宾语补足语的词类和形式主要有:
  1. 名词
  The workers made the young man vice-director of the factory.
  工人们推选这年轻人当副厂长。
  常可以接名词做宾语补足语的动词有:
  call, name, make, elect, think, suppose, consider等。

  2. 不定式
  He encouraged his children to study hard.他鼓励孩子们努力学习。
  常可以接不定式做宾补的动词有:get, wish, summon, love, suppose, expect等。
  但要注意下列动词接不定式做宾语补足语时,要接不带to 的不定式:let, have, make, feel, see, observe, notice, watch, hear, listen to, look at。

  3. 形容词
  He proved himself worthy of confidence.他证明自己是值得信赖的。
  常可以接形容词做宾语补足语的动词有:make, leave, get, drive, wish, suppose, think, believe, keep, find, cut, paint, beat, turn, set, boil等。

  4. 副词或介词短语
  They kept flies out. 他们不让苍蝇进来。(副词)
  Please keep your books in good order.请把你的东西整理好。(介词短语)
  常可以接副词或介词短语的动词有:let, have, love, keep, regard等。
