Listen and notice how the speaker links the words. 1. Spain scored a minute ago. 2. Last week the match on TV was so boring because no one scored at all. 3. Oh, look at that.
Talk about the sports you like. — Hey, Bruce. Which sport do you like, swimming or running? — I like swimming. It’s more relaxing than running.
1. — What’s the score? 比分是多少? — Spain scored a minute ago. 西班牙(队)一分钟前得分了。 在第一个句子中,score 是名词,意思 是“比分, 进球数” ; 第二个句子中的 score 是动词, 表示“得分, 进球”。 例如:
After two hours and twenty minutes of play, the final score was 3:2. 经过两小时二十分钟的比赛,最终比分 为三比二。 Arsenal scored in the final minute of the game. 阿森纳队在比赛的最后一分钟进了一球。
2. So this week’s match is already more exciting. 因此, 这周的比赛早已更令人激动。 英语中的形容词有很多为多音节词, 如: dangerous, difficult, exciting, expensive, beautiful, popular 等, 其比较级形式是在 该形容词前加 more。除了多音节形容词 变比较级要用 more 之外, 部分双音节形 容词, 如 careful, tiring, boring 等比较级 也是在其前加 more。
由此可见, 多音节形容词及部分双音节 形容词比较级的句式结构为: A + 谓语 + more + 多音节形容词/部分双 音节形容词 + than + B。 ① This picture is ______________ more beautiful than that one. 这张照片比那张照片漂亮。 ② He is _____________ more careful than the others. 他比其他人更仔细。 ③ The football match is _____________. more exciting 足球赛更激动人心。
④ Your shirt is ______________ more expensive than mine. 你的衬衫比我的贵。 3. But you enjoyed watching the Olympic on TV, right? 但是你喜欢在电视上观看奥运, 是吗? enjoy 欣赏; 享受; 喜爱[+v.-ing] reading these books very much. I enjoyed _______ 我很喜欢读这些书。 Tom doesn’t enjoy _______ going to cinema. 汤姆不喜欢看电影。
4. And staying at home was easier than going to the stadium. 呆在家里比去体育馆容易。 stay at home “呆在家里”,在句子中 作主语,因此要用动名词或不定式形式。 课文中像这样的句子还有: Watching is not dangerous and it’s more relaxing too!
