课文理解去度假的顾虑 更新于:2024-01-07 07:28:59

Don’t be so sure! 别那么确定!

Don’t so sure! 不符合语法要求。

do not 否定动词(表达命令、建议、警告或规劝等)No 否定名词(禁止、制止或否定某个特定的事物或概念,强调的是名词本身)
  • Don’t come in! 不要进来
  • Don’t sit down. 不要坐下
  • Don’t be so careful! 别那么认真!
  • Don’t be so generous! 别那么慷慨! 
  • Don’t smoke!
  • Don’t swim!
  • No smoking! 禁止吸烟。
  • No swimming! 禁止游泳。
因为do not 是对动词的否定,而这里接的so 是一个形容词。所以这里增加be动词补位。

Where are you going to spend your holidays this year?

spend 花费、度过、度假have (万能词)
spend your holidays\vacationhave your holidays\vacation

I'd like to go there, too. = I would like to go there, too.

这里不是had的缩写,而是would的缩写。

We can’t make up our minds.

mind n. 心,智慧,头脑,决心

make up one’s mind 下定决心make up one's mind(s) to do something (mind + s 多个人下定决心)
I made up my mind to study English well.We made up our minds to study English well.

你们要乘船去还是坐飞机去?

Will you by sea or by air? 句子缺少实义动词(will这里是一个助动词)

Will you go / travel by sea or by air? (人为加动词go形成一个将来时)by air 、by sea是一个介词短语,这里不能当成动词来使用。

Are you going by sea or by air? "going" 是动词,表示行动或移动。而"by sea"和"by air" 是介词短语,用于说明行动的方式或方式选择。所以后面不应该使用 going to 而直接使用going 即可。


But it takes a long time.

take v.花费(时间、钱)cost v.花费,值(钱)
  • 某人takes 时间 to do : Gary took three years to speak Chinese well.
  • It takes 某人 时间 to do :It took Gary three years to speak Chinese well.
  • 某物 costs 某人 money :The coat cost me fifty dollars.(过去式,无三单)
  • 某物 costs money:The house costs 68,500 pounds.
万能词 take 当成“花费”的意思时主语可以是人也可以是物。
We may not go anywhere.We may go nowhere.
我们可能哪也去不成。(相似句可替换使用)
My wife always worries this and that.My wife always worries too much.

最后 in the end

  • in the future 在将来
  • in the meantime 与此同时
  • in the way 挡道的,妨碍的(指某人或某物阻碍了别人的行动或进程)

look after everything 照顾一切

look after sb. 照顾某人(负责照料或照顾某人的生活、健康或安全)

  • look after children 照顾孩子
  • look after yourself 照顾好自己
  • look after a patient 照顾病人
