THE BOSS:Where's Sandra, Bob?I want her.
BOB: Do you want to speak to her?
THE BOSS:Yes, I do.I want her to come to my office. Tell her to come at once.
SANDRA: Did you want to see me?
THE BOSS:Ah, yes, Sandra. How do you spell"intelligent'? Can you tell me?
SANDRA: I-N-T-E-L-L-I-G-E-N-T.
THE BOSS:That's right.
You've typed it with only one 'L'. This letter's full of mistakes. I want you to type it again.
SANDRA: Yes, I'll do that. I'm sorry about that.
THE BOSS:And here's a little present for you.
SANDRA: What's it?
THE BOSS:It's a dictionary. I hope it'll help you.
-
How do you spell…?……怎样拼写?
这是询问某个单词或某人的姓名如何拼写时常用的句型。 -
You've typed it with only one‘L’.但你只打了 1个“L”。
句中it指intelligent一词。这里的with意即“用”。 -
And here's a little present for you.这里有一件小礼物送你。
这是一个倒装句。由here引导、谓语为be的句子通常用倒装语序。这里and是表示承上启下,使上下文紧密联系,当“于是”、“因此”讲。 -
动词不定式
在英语中,当一个动词被另一个动词紧跟时,它们之间必须加不定式符号(to)。不定式符号后面的动词只能是原形,而不能是过去式或分词形式。
(1)不定式作动词的宾语(动词+to…):
He wants to buy a car.
他想买辆车。
He hopes to pass the French exam.
他希望自己能通过法语考试。
I want to leave.
我想离开。
(2)有许多动词可以带名词/代词宾语(通常是人称代词宾格),后面再跟不定式(动词+名词/宾格代词+to…):
I want you to carry it.
我想让你扛着它。
He wants them to listen to it.
他想让他们听那个。
Tell him to move it.
让他搬它。
(3)不定式的否定形式是在 to 之前加 not:
He decided not to buy the house.
他决定不买这幢房子。
He told me not to close the window.
他让我不要把窗户关了。
Tell him not to move it.
告诉他不要搬动它。
