1. On Saturday morning, every boy in town was happy, except Tom Sawyer.
except是“除??之外(不包括本身在内)”的意思,含有否定和排除的意思,表示除去一部分,着重在“不包括”(not including)的含义。例如: All the girls went to the party except Xiao Hong. 除了小红外,其他女孩都参加了聚会。(小红没有参加。) All of us passed the final-term examination except Alice.
除爱丽斯之外,我们大家都通过了期末考试。 【拓展】 besides, except&except for 这三个短语都有“除??之外”的意思,但具体用法不同: besides “除??之外(还有??)”指在整体中加入一部分,表示一种累加关系,有“加上”之意。 except “除??之外(没有??)”着重强调在同类人或物中除去一个或几个人或物。表示一种排除关系。有“减除”之意。 except for “除??之外”,表示对整体不要部分的肯定和对局部的否定,起部分修正作用。 例如: We are all here except/but Tom. 除了Tom外,我们都到齐了。(不包括Tom) Besides milk, we need vegetables. 除了牛奶,我们还需要蔬菜。 He is a good man except for hot temper. 他是个好人,除了脾气暴躁。 2. What a pity! What a pity 意为“真遗憾!”句中的pity意为“可惜的事,令人遗憾的事”,是可数名词, 常用于it is /was a pity ?句型中,pity后可接动词不定式,可以接that从句。pity作“同情,怜悯”讲时是不可数名词。 It’s a pity that you can’t come to the party. 你不能来参加这次聚会真可惜。 She saw no pity in their faces. 她在他们脸上看不到怜悯。 句式精讲
3. What did Tom and Bekey do in order to find their way back?
(1)本句中的in order to是一个固定搭配的短语,意思是“为了”,后接动词原形构成不定式结构在句子中
作目的状语,否定形式是在to前面加not。in order to可以和so as to 互换,但后者不能放在句首。 例如:
In order not to be late, you should go now. 为了不迟到,你现在应该走。
(2)in order to+动词原形和so as to+动词原形可以转换成in order that+从句和so that+从句。
He did anything in order to make money.
= He did anything in order that he could make money. 为了赚钱,他什么都做。
Please go in quietly so as not to wake the baby.
