专门替中国人写的英语语法
第一章 英文文法的最基本规则
英文和我们中文最大的不同，是在动词，我们中文的动词很简单，没有所谓的第 几人称，也没有复数和单数之分，
更没有过去式或进行式，英文可不同了，凡是用动词的时候，必须注意 很多很多的规则，一旦弄错了，常常是犯了大
错。 在这一章，我要将英文最基本的规则一一列下。这些规则都是我们中国人所常常不注意的。
为了不要误导读者，凡本书内错误的句子前面都有〝＊〞的符号。
规则（１）：两个动词是不能联在一起用的。
在中文，我们常说“我是爱你的”，翻成英文，这就变成了
＊ I am love you.
滑稽的是，这句英文句子犯了大忌，因为〝am〞是动词，〝love〞也是动词，两个动 词是不能联在一起用的。这句话
的正确说法是：
I love you. 或者 I am in love with you.
我们中国人也会说〝我喜欢看电视〞，翻成英文，这变成
＊ I love watch television.
这个句子也犯了同样的错。
以下几个句子都是错的，因为这些句子中都有两个动词连在一起的情形：
＊ I hate eat fish.
＊ I love play basketball.
＊ I love swim.
如果你一定要讲“我爱游泳”，怎么办呢？请看以下的规则。
规则（２）：如一定要同时用两个动词，后者的前面必须加“to”或者将后者加入“ing”。
“我爱游泳”，因此有两种正确的译法：
I love to swim.
I love swimming.
以下的句子都是正确的：
I hate to eat fish.
I hate eating fish.
I love to play basketball.
I love playing basketball
I keep going to church.
规则（３）：主词如果是第三人称，现在式及单数，动词必须加s.
我们中国人最不容易记得的规则，恐怕就是这一条了，以下的句子都是错的。
＊ He write very well.
＊ Jack love playing the violin.
＊ Mary swim every day.
正确的句子是：
He writes very well.
Jack loves playing the violin.
Mary swims every day.
规则（４）：绝大多数的否定的句子，不能直接加“not”。
我们中文对否定语气，规则极为简单，我们可以说“我不爱你”，但是我们不能说
＊ I not love you.
我们也不能说：
＊ I not saw that movie.
＊ I not like swimming.
＊ He not likes playing violin.
我们必须用一种助动词来完成否定的句子，以下才是正确的否定句子：
1

I do not love you.
I did not see that movie.
He does not like playing violin.
请注意，在以上的句子中，do和did都是助动词，do是现在式，did是过去式。
关于现在式和过去式，究竟是怎么一回事，以后我们会解释清楚的。
助动词不限于“do” 和它的变型，can、will、would、shall、may、must等等都是助动词，因此，以下的英 文句子又都
是对的：
He can not swim.
They will not go to church tomorrow.
Mary should not go to the party.
I shall not see you.
He may not go out tonight.
He must not eat meat any more.
规则（５）：在不定词“to”的后面，必须用原形动词
英文中的动词，是会变化的，以have为例，第一人称和第三人就不同：
I have a dog.
He has a dog.
如果是过去式，动词又要变化。have的过去式是had，不论第几人称，一概都要用had。
几乎每一个英文动词的过去式都有变化，以下是几个例子：
现在式 过去式
go went
come came
eat ate
play played
swim swam
不论那一个动词，都有一个 原形动词，一切都是从这个原形动词变出来的，像go、drink、have、walk、love、like
等等都是原形动词。
如果我们有必要要用不定词to，就必须用原形动词，例如to go、to drink、to have，都是正确的，＊to went；＊
to drank；＊to loved等等都是错的。
英文中有一个动词最为麻烦，那就是am、are 、is、was、were等等，翻译成中文，这都是，而这些动词的来源都是
be，所以我们说这些动 词都是verb to be。
以下的句子都用上了〝be〞
I want to be a teacher.
He wants to be a good father.
They all love to be rich.
No one likes to be poor.
规则（６）：英文中有所谓的助动词。必须注意
英文中有很多动词都 是助词动，在规则（４）中，我们说在绝大多数的否定语句中，必须用助动词do或did。Do是
原形 动词，did 和does都是do的变形。
除了do是助动词以外，can、may、might 、will、would、must也都是助动词。
以上所提到的助动词，都有一个共同的特色，那 就是这些助动词后的动词必须是原形动词，以下的句子都是正确的：
He can swim.
He does not swim.
I do not speak English.
You must walk to work every day.
I did not work yesterday.
You may leave now.
I will go to Taipei tomorrow.
以下的句子都是错的：
＊ I did not went.
＊ He does not goes to work.
＊ You must walked to work.
除了以上的助动词以外，还有一 个非常特殊的助动词，那就是have，在这个助动词的后面，动词绝对不能用原形动
词，以下是用这个 助动词的例子：
I have been to England.
I have slept all day.
2

I have studied English since I was a child.
been、slept 和studied都是过去分词（past participle），以下的句子也都是现在完成式，我们后讨 论完成式的时
候，会将这些解释清楚的。
规则（７）：英文问句要有助动词
我们先看看以下的英文句子，这些都是错的：
＊ How many books you wrote？
＊ How many sons you have？
正确的句子是：
Why do you drink so much water
How many books did you write
？
How many sons do you have？
？


绝大多数的英文问句子是一定要有助动词，以下全是正确的英文问句，你可以看出每一句的助动词吗？
Do you love me
Did you go to school yesterday
？
How many books do you have
？
How much money does he have
？
Why don’t you go back home
Do you like to swim
？
？


Can you play violin
？

Will you go home tomorrow
？
Would you give me a call？
？


当然啦，一旦动词是verb to be，我们又不需要助动词了，以下都是正确的英文问句：
Are you a teacher?
Is he a student?

Is Mr. Chang your father?

Were your mother and father in England last year?


规则（８）：特殊动词随主词的变化
英文中，有些动词因主词不同而改变，verb to be是其中之一，因此，我们必须记得以下的规则：
第一人称 第二人称 第三人称
现在式
单数 I am You are （He，She，It）is
复数 We are You are They are
过去式
单数 I was You were （He，She，It）was
复数 We were You were They were
Verb to have也有类似的变化：
第一人称 第二人称 第三人称
现在式
单数 I have You have （He，She，It）has
复数 We have You have They have
过去式
单数 I had You had （He，She，It）had
复数 We had You had They had
【练习一】

18.＊ I will not went home.
19.＊ He did not went home.
20.＊ You may leaving now.
21.＊ He can swimming.
22.＊ He does not goes to work.
第二章 现在式和现在进行式
2§1 现在式
英文中，现在式（present tense）好像是最容易的，其实现在式都是我们常常用错的时式。
首先，我们不妨举一个例子来 说明我们对现在式惯有的误解，假设我们要说〝我在吃午饭〞，这总该用现在式了吧。
很多人将这句话翻 成
I eat lunch.
这就错了，因为〝I eat lunch.〞的意 思并不是〝我在吃午饭〞，而是〝我有吃午饭的习惯〞，意思是说，有人中
午不吃午饭（可能是在减肥） ，我可是每天中午都会吃午饭的。
〝我在吃午饭〞，应该要用现在进行式，这是我们以后会谈的。
现在式不是指任何一个行为，而是一种状况。
举例来说，以下几句话都应该用现在式：
我是一个学生 I am a student.
他是一个老师 He is a teacher.
他每天游泳 He swims every day.
汤姆勤奋工作 Tom works hard
他早起 He gets up early.
玛莉喜欢看电影 Mary loves watching movies.
这里常常下雨 It rains often here.
我每天喝一杯牛奶 I drink a glass of milk every day.
我是中国人 I am a Chinese.
他会讲英文 He speaks English.
他有喝茶的习惯 He drinks tea.
我骑脚踏车上学 I ride a bicycle to school.
他搭乘公车上班 He rides a bus to go to work.
我不喜欢你 I do not like you.
他爱他的太太 He loves his wife.
他守法 He obeys the law.
我不喜欢莎士比亚 I do not like Shakespeare.
他不抽烟 He does not smoke.
他喝酒 He drinks.
他唱歌唱得很好 He sings well.
他跳舞跳得很好 He dances well.
他不会游泳 He can not swim.
他不是一个好学生 He is not a good student.
他们都很懒 They are all very lazy.
凡是真理，自然界的现象，数学里的定理，都要用现在式：
太阳从东方升起 The sun rises in the east.
地球是圆的 The earth is round.
月亮是地球的一个卫星 The moon is a satellite of the earth.
美国是一个大的国家 America is a large country.
在北极的夏天，太阳永不落下 The sun never sets at the North Pole in summer.
树叶吸收二氧化碳 Tree leaves absorb CO2 .
计算机的基本原理是布尔代数 The basic principle of computers is Boolean algebra
二点决定一线 Two points define a line.
三点决定一平面 Three points define a plane.
三基本颜色是红、黄、蓝 Three of the basic colors are red, yellow and blue.
4

【练习二】
将以下中文句子翻成英文，都用现在式。
1.
2.
他是一个好学生。
3.
我的哥哥

4.
我弟弟每天游泳。
17岁。
5.
他们都喜欢音乐。




6.
他们现在在日本。
7.
喜玛拉雅山是全世界最高的山。

8.
亚马孙河是全世界最长的。

9.
他的爸爸是位老师。
10.
我们都喜欢中国菜。




11.
他不喜欢冰淇淋。
12.
我爱你。
13.
每个人都怕蛇。


14.
每个人都喜欢狗。

今天真冷。

2§2 现在进行式
假如我们正在做一件事，是不能用现在式的，而必须用现在进行式，
现在进行式的形态是： verb to be + present participle（现在分词）
verb to be 大家都懂，什么叫做现在分词呢？现在分词就是：动词＋ing
以下是现在分词的例子
动词 现在分词
work
go
read

working
going

run
reading


play

swim

running
playing

sing
swimming


write

eat

singing
writing

walk
eating

come

love

walking
coming

like
loving

watch

smoke

liking
watching



smoking
如果我们说
I am watching a movie.
那是指我现在正在看电影，这和
I watch movies.
意义上截然不同的，I watch movies是说我有看电影的习惯。
因此有些动词是没有现在进行式的，举例来说
I am loving you. 是不通的，因为严格说起来，love是一种状态，而不是一个动作。现在进行式，都是指动作，很少指状态 的。
以下是现在进行式的例子：
I am calling my father.
He is swimming now.

He is playing basketball.

They are all eating now.
He is walking in the woods now.


He is reading a detective novel.

Mr. Brown is driving to work.
Mrs. Brown is cooking.


It is raining now.

【练习三】
将以下句子译成英文，都用现在进行式：
1.他在看电影。
2.我在游泳。
3.她在和她妈妈打电话。
4.他的哥哥在散步。
5.我现在正在吃饭。
6.我们在唱歌。
7.他在弹钢琴。
8.他在看一本小说。
9.我在写一封信。
10.他在跑步。
【练习四】
将下列句子译成英文，有的用现在式，有的用现在进行式：
1.我爱你。
2.我正在吃饭。
3.他不是一个学生。
4.我是一个老师。
5.他正在唱歌。
6.他在游泳。
7.他喜欢游泳。
8.他会唱歌。
9.他正在唱歌。
10.他的爸爸是一个医生。
11.他的爸爸在美国。
12.我正在洗澡。
13.他正在睡觉。
14.你的姊姊在骑脚踏车。
15.你的姊姊每天骑脚踏车上学。
第三章 过去式和过去进行式
3§1 过去式
过去式是指过去所发生的事。举例来说，假如我昨天去看了一场电影，我就可以说
I went to see a movie yesterday.
以下全部是正确的句子：
I saw your father last night.
I met your son last month.
I ate three apples this morning.
He went to church to pray last night.
可是，我们必须非常小心，因为一不小心，我们就可能犯了大错，我们如果要向情侣表示爱情，当然说
I love you.
如果我们说
I loved you.
事情就可能闹大了，因为这表示我过去曾经爱过你，可是现在已经不爱了。〝I loved you〞等于是〝I loved you
before. But I do not love you now.〞
假如我们看过一个小男孩然后我们说
He was a good boy.
那就是说他现在已不是一个好男孩了，变成了一个不乖的孩子，或者他已经死了。
英文里的过去式常常是侦探用来破案的线索。
有一次，有一个母亲，向警察报案，说她的女儿失踪了，她在记者面前，声泪俱下地说
She was such a nice girl.
警察马上觉得这位母亲有问题，因 为她不该用过去式的，用了过去式，表示女儿已经死了，可是母亲不是说她失踪了
吗？为什么她用过去式 ，极有可能因为她知道她女儿已经死了，才脱口而出，用了过去式。警察因此怀疑母亲本人就
6

是凶手，事实也果真如此：这位母亲打自己的女儿，出手太重，将女儿打死了，谎报女儿失踪 ，她用了过去式，使警
察知道她有问题。整个案子的侦破，就在于过去式。
我们因此不能轻 易用过去式，但我们也千万要注意，该用过去式的时候，一定要用过去式，以下句子都是错的：
＊I go to school yesterday.
＊I see a movie last night.
＊My mother comes to see me last month.
＊I eat three apples this morning.
＊He is happy yesterday.
以上句子的正确写法是：
I went to school yesterday.
I saw a movie last night.

My mother came to see me last month.

I ate three apples this morning.

He was happy yesterday.

【练习五】
将以下中文句子翻成英文，全部用过去式：
1.
2.
我昨天参加了一个舞 会。
3.
他的哥哥昨天打电话给我。


4.
我去年到美国去。
5.
昨夜我遇到你的姊姊。

6.
我写了一封信给你。

7.
我今晨吃了一个蛋。
8.
他昨夜整夜跳舞。

9.
我们昨天跑了五千公尺。


10.
他昨夜非常疲倦。
他昨夜去台北探访他的爸爸。


【练习六】
将下列的句子译成英文句子，有的用现在式，有的用过去式：
1.
2.
他是一个强壮的男孩。
3.
他昨天生病了。
4.
他每天吃一个苹果。

5.
他昨天吃了三个苹果。


6.
我喜欢看电影。
7.
我是个快乐的人。

8.
昨天我看了两场电影。


9.
他昨天寄了一封信给你。
10.
他常常抽烟。

11.
我每天读圣经。


12.
他昨天没有念圣经。
他昨天没有游泳。

【练习七】
将以下句子译成英文，用现在式，现在进行式或过去式：
1.
2.
他在打篮球。
3.
他喜欢打篮球。
4.
他昨天打篮球。

5.
他每天骑脚踏车上学。


6.
他昨天骑脚踏车到乡下去。
7.
我喜欢唱歌。

8.
他正在唱歌。




9.
你的爸爸昨天来看我。
10.
他的哥哥每天步行二公里。

11.
他的弟弟是个好孩子。

12.
他去年非常虚弱。
13.
他正在打电话。

14.
他每天都努力工作（

你的弟弟喜欢游泳。
work hard

）。
7

15.他过去是个好学生。
3§2 过去进行式
过去进行式和现在进行式有点类似，只是verb to be要用过 去式的。可是有一点不同，过去进行式，很少单独用的，
而常和另一句子一齐用。举例来说以下的中文句 子：
我昨天去看你的时候，你正在打篮球，如译成中文，就是
You were playing basketball when I went to see you yesterday.
以下是典型的过去进行式用法
I was taking a bath when you called.
I was watching TV when you came to see me.

They were dancing when the teacher came in.

They were singing in the station when the train arrived.

Mr. Brown was cleaning his house when his son came home.


总而言之，过去进行式通常牵涉到几件事，这两 件事同时发生，其中一件事用过去式，另一件事用过去进行式
【练习八】
将以下句子译成英文，其中一部份使用过去进行式：
1.
2.
他昨天到学校去的时候，天在下雨。
3.
当火车停下的时候，他在看报（read newspaper

）。
4.
当火车进站的时候，他们在唱歌。
5.
我昨天去他家的时候，他在和他爸爸打电话。
6.
昨天晚上八点钟， 我在家看电视。
7.
当我爸爸昨晚打电话给我的时候，我正在刷牙（

brush my teeth）。
8.
当我昨晚打电话给他时，他在游泳。
9.
当这猫走进来的时候，那只狗在睡觉。



10.当他弟弟回家的时候，他在拉小提琴。
当我爸爸回家的时候，我妈妈在烧饭。

work worked worked
以下的句子都是用了现在完成式：
I have read this book.
I have seen the movie.
I have lived here since 1973.
I have studied English for a long time.
He has washed his hands.
He has left.
He has already completed the report.
The storm has arrived.
I have taken the job.
I have written the letters.
I have not seen him since 1975.
I have never seen this man before.
什么情况之下要用现在完成式呢？
1. 首先假设 我们有一件事，发生在过去，而一直延续到现在，就要用现在完成式，这种句子后面常有since或for。< br>以下是这种情形的例子：
（1）自从1963年，我一直在念英文。
I have studied English since 1963.
（2）自从1975年以后，我就住在这里。
I have lived here since 1975.
（3）自从我是一个小孩子，我就喜欢摇滚乐。
I have loved rock and roll music since I was a child.
（4）自从去年，我就从来没有见过他。
Since last year, I have never seen him.
（5）自从1950年以后，他就一直在此工作。
He has worked here since 1950.
（6）我认识他已经很久了。
I have known him for a long time.
（7）他练习网球已经四年了。
He has already practiced tennis for （the past） four years.
（8）我穿这件夹克很久了。
I have worn this jacket for a very long time.
（9）我开这辆汽车很久了。
I have driven this car for a long time.
（10）好久没有下雨了。
It has not rained for a long time.
2. 使用现 在完成式的另一情况是强调已经完成的事，比方说，你说〝我已经写了那封信〞，就可以用现在完成式，
或者，你说〝他已经完成了工作〞。以下是这类的例子：
（1）我已经写了这封信。
I have already written the letter.
（2）他已经完成了工作。
He has already completed the work.
（3）我已经测试了这个程序。
I have already tested the program.
（4）我已经收到了你的信。
I have already received your letter.
（5）他已搬到了一个较大的房子。
He has already moved to a bigger house.
（6）虽然他很年轻，但他已写了三本小说。
Although he is young, he has already written three novels.
（7）我打了二次电话给他，他都没有回答。
I called him twice, he has never answered.
3. 现在完成式用来表示一种经验，举例来说， 〝我曾经到过美国〞、〝我曾见过李总统〞、〝我有生以来没有跳过
舞〞，这些都应该用现在完成式，例 如：
（1） 我曾经到过美国。
I have been to America.
（2） 我曾见过李总统。
I have seen President Lee.
10

（3） 我有生以来没有跳过舞。
I have never danced in my life.
（4） 我看过〝双城记〞。
I have read The Tale of Two Cities.
（5） 他曾吃过这种冰淇淋。
He has tasted this kind of ice cream.
（6） 我未曾见过雪。
I have never seen snow.
（7） 你曾见过雪吗？
Have you ever seen snow?
（8） 你登过玉山吗？
Have you ever climbed Jade Mountain？
4. 现在完成式可以用来表示一件过去常发生的事：
（1） 今年我国已有二次台风。
We have already had two typhoons so far this year.
（2） 他今年已发表了三篇论文。
He has already published three papers this year.
（3） 过去一年，我看了三次〝铁达尼号〞。
In the past year, I have seen The Titanic three times.
对读 者而言，最重要的是〝现在完成式〞和〝过去式〞不同究竟在那里？最重要的不同在于，一旦在句子中讲一件过< br>去发生的事，而且指定特定的时间，就一定要用〝过去式〞，而不能用〝现在完成式〞。比方说，〝我曾经 看过「铁
达尼号」〞，可以用现在完成式，因为这句话没有指明任何特定的时间，假如说，〝我昨天晚上 去看「铁达尼号」〞，
就一定用过去式，读者不妨看看以下的比较：
（a）I went to America last year.
I have been to America.
（b）I saw The Titanic last year.
I have seen The Titanic twice.
（c）I finished my homework late last night.
I have finally finished my homework.
（d）I studied English when I was a small child.
I have studied English since I was a child.
（e）I went to church yesterday.
I have never been to church.
以下的句子是错的，请特别注意：
＊（1）I have seen the movie last year.
＊（2）I have never been to America last year.
＊（3）He has never finished his work last night.
现在完成式常和since、for、already、never、ev er等字一起使用，以下都是这类的例子：
（1）I have already had dinner.
（2）Since this summer began, we have already had two storms.
（3）It has not rained for a long time.
（4）I have never talked to this man before.
（5）I have never met your father.
（6）Have you ever been to America?
（7）He has already won three awards.
（8）I have stayed here since June.
Never 和 ever 也常是我们弄不清楚如何使用的字，一般说来， never 有否定的意思，ever则只有在问句中才会
出现。

1.自从1980年，我就每天早上游泳。
2.我已收到了你的信。

8. I （talk） to my father last night.
9. Since 1961, I （be） a teacher. Before that, I （be） a student.
10. I （read） many novels written by Charles Dickens.
4§2现在完成进行式（Present Perfect Progressive Tense）
在上一节，我们知道，如果有一个行动，从过去发生后，就一直延续到现在，我们可以用现在完成式。举 例来说，以
下的例子都应该用现在完成式：
（1） 自从1974年，我就在学校学英文。
Since 1974, I have studied English at school.
（2） 自从我大学毕业以后，我就在这里工作。
Since I graduated from college, I have worked here.
以第一句话为例，假如我们要强调我一直在练习游泳，而且没有间断，我们可以用现在完 成进行式（present perfect
progressive tense）。
所谓现在完成进行式，形式：verb to have + been + present participle
verb to have 是为了完成式，been 和 present participle 都是为了进行式。
以下是现在完成进行式的例子：
I have been studying English since 1974.
I have been working here since I graduated from college.
I have been living here since I was a child.
He has been acting like a fool lately.（他最近一直在做傻事）
They have been dancing since seven o’clock.
It has been snowing since yesterday.
I have been taking music lessons since last year.
He has been drinking heavily since last year.（他去年起，就一直在酗酒）
【练习十四】
将以下的句子译成英文，全部用现在完成进行式：
1. 自从我们是小孩子起，我们就一直努力工作。
12

2. 从去年起，他就在念英文。
3. 从昨天起，就一直在下雨。
4. 从五时起，他就在做功课（do homework）。
5. 从三岁起，我就一直住在台中。
4§3 过去完成进行式（Past Perfect Progressive Tense）
过去完成式的形式：had + past participle
过去完成式是不能单独用的。我们用的时候，必须有另一个事件。也就是说，假如我们有两件事 A 和 B，两件事都
发生在过去，但 A 发生在 B 以前，A 应该用过去完成式，B 则用过去式。以下是几个例子：
（1） 他到台湾以前，曾学过中文。
He had studied Chinese before he came to Taiwan.
（2） 他念大学以前，曾前工作过。
He had worked before he decided to go to college.
（3） 我写这篇有关爱尔兰的小说以前，曾去过爱尔兰。
I had been to Ireland before I wrote this book about Ireland's people.
（4） 我在上大学以前，已经学过微积分。
I had studied calculus before I got into college.
（5） 周一以前，已经下过雪了。
It had already snowed before Monday.
如果我们要强调较早发生事件的连续性，我们可以用过去完成进行式。
过去完成进行式和现在进行式惟一不同的地方是 verb to have 的地方一定要用had 。
以下是一些过去完成进行式的例子：
1.
2.
I had been watching TV before you called me.
3.
I had been working hard in a company for many years before I went to college.

4.
He had been studying before he went to class.

He had been driving all day before he went to sleep.

19. Peter (go) to America many times.
20. He (work) hard since last year. He (hope) to succeed in the college entrance examination this

第五章 未来式
5§1 未来式的基本规则
如果我们在句子中，有需要提到未来的事情，就可以使用未来式，举例来说，以下的句子都用未来式。
I will go to America tomorrow.
He will dance tonight.
Peter will finish his work next month.
如果不用〝will〞，我们可以用〝verb to be +going to+ verb〞，如果我们如此做，以上的三个句子就变成了以下
的句子
I am going to go to America tomorrow.
He is going to dance tonight.
Peter is going to finish his work next month.
以下是一些未来式的例子：
1. I will call you tonight.
I am going to call you tonight.
2. He will graduate next June.
He is going to graduate next June.
3. Mr. Lee will teach us English soon.
Mr. Lee is going to teach us English soon.
4. He will help you.
He is going to help you.
5. The war will break out soon.
The war is going to break out soon.
6. It will rain tonight.
It is going to rain tonight.
有一个 规则必须注意，就是will是一个助动词，现在式第三人称单数的主词，仍不用在will后面加s。
不仅如此，will后面的动词必须用成原式，如果用verb to be +going to+ verb这里面的verb也必须用原式。
因为这里面的to式infinitive，infinitive里面永远要用原型动词。
14

以下例子都是错的
1.
2.
＊He wills go to school.
3.
＊He will goes to school.


4.
＊
5.
＊
They will went to work tomorrow.
＊
Tom is going to saw me tonight.

Peter is going to working next month.


未来式常和别的句子用在一起，以下是典型的例子
1. When you come tomorrow, I will already be in Taipei.
2. After I graduate, I am going to be a good doctor in Africa.

3. Before I leave tomorrow, I will finish my work.

4. After the war is over, every one will be happy.
5. I will go to a concert after my classes are over.


6. I will eat lunch as soon as I have time.

但千万不可写出以下错误的句子：
＊When you will come tomorrow, I will already be in Taipei.
＊After the war will be over, every one will be happy.
＊I will eat lunch as soon as I will have time.
【练习十八】
将以下的中文句子翻成英文句子，用will或to be going to：
1.
2.
我明天要上教堂（go to church）。
3.
他下周一要和我见面。
4.
他明天要整理这个房间（

clean this room
5.
我明天吃晚饭后要去台北。
）。
6.
我明天晚上回家以后，就打电话给你。


7.

9.

10. He________ (have) dinner very late tomorrow.
I (get) a job as soon as I get out of college.
(get) here tomorrow, everyone (wait) for you.


11. I________ (quit) my present job, after I________ (find) a better one.


5§2 未来式的变形
未来式可以和进行式合起来用，以下是未来进行式的例子
I will be watching TV tomorrow at eight.
He will be eating a big dinner after he gets out of the hospital.

I will be studying mathematics at home when you come.
Two days later, I will be driving a new car.


未来式可以和完成式合在一起用，而成为未来完成式，这种句子都是在于强调未来要完成的事。
举例来说，”我明天六点以前，我会完成这工作了”，就可以用未来完成式：
I will have finished this work by six o’clock tomorrow.
以下是一些未来完成式的例子
By the time he arrives at the station, the train will have left.
We will have had three meetings before six o’clock tonight.

He will have written six novels next summer.

4. 我现在在打电话给我的母亲，我的母亲现在88岁，他在台北已经住了60年。
5. 在我去美国以前，我曾经去过英国，当我在英国的时候，我碰见了一个美丽的女孩子，他后来成为我的太太。
【练习二十二】
填充
1. I (watching) TV now. I (watch) TV every day.
2. He (have) a big dinner before we arrived last night. It (be) a good meal. He seldom (eat)
so much.
3. He (work) on this novel for a very long time. By the time he (finish) it, he (written) six
novels.
4. I (be) to America several times. I (go) to America again next year.
5. I (live) in Taipei when I was a child. When I was six years old, I (move) to Taiwan
and (live) there ever since.

10. He (take) a bath every morning. Today, since he (get) up very late, he (go) to school
directly without taking a bath.
第六章 否定句子(Negative Sentences)
6§1 否定句的基本规则
在任何语言，我们都有必要造出〝否定〞的句子，在中文，写出否定句子并非难事，在英文，无论任何否 定句子，都
必须遵行一些规定，以下是否定句子的例子
肯定句子 否定句子
I like music. I don’t like music.
He loves swimming. He does not love swimming.
They have come to work. They have not come to work.
Mary went to see a movie yesterday. Mary did not go to see a movie yesterday.
John is a good boy. John is not a good boy.
I will go to New York tomorrow. I will not go to New York tomorrow.
He can sing. He can not sing.
You may go now. You may not go now.
He should sleep early. He should not sleep early.
It is raining now. It is not raining now.
16

It rains very often here.
He has a lot of money.
It is exciting to see this game.

It does not rain very often here.
He asked me three questions.

He does not have a lot of money.
It is not exciting to see this game.

He did not ask me three questions.


从以上的例子来看，我们可以归纳出以下的规则：
1.
He is not a good teacher.
Verb to be 后面可以直接加not
Mary was not very happy when she was young.

。例如：
They are not strong boys.

Peter is not coming.
John is not going to work.


2.
He has not written any letter.
助动词后面可以直接加not

。
They will not come.

例如：
He cannot swim.

They should not cry very often.

Tom had not eaten any thing before you came.

He may never eat cakes in the future.

John has not lived here.
3.


He does not smoke.
一般句子的动词必须加入do或他的变形。
He did not go.
I do not love sports.


You do not like to eat fish.

They do not swim very well.

We did not see that movie.

在英文中，我们可以用have to来代替must，以下是have to的例子：
He has to go to Chicago tomorrow.
They had to buy three tickets to go to the concert.
（他明天应该去芝加哥）
I have to work very hard.（我必须努力工作）
（他们必须买三张票去听音乐会）


含有have to的句子，如要改成否定句子，必须在have to前面加do或它的变形，请看以下的例子：
肯定句子 否定句子
He has to eat a lot of food.
He had to leave.
I have to write that letter.

He does not have to eat a lot of food.

He did not have to leave.
I do not have to write that letter.


【练习二十三】
将以下的肯定句子改成否定句子：
1.
2.
I saw your brother last night.
3.
I like apples.

4.
She is a beautiful girl.
5.
They can play violin very well.
6.
Mr. Chang must answer the following questions.
7.
He went to see his brother last night.
8.
He could sing many songs.
9.
He will buy this car.
10. I have lived here for three years.
It rained heavily last night.
11. He has to see his mother.
12. He had to stay here yesterday.



6§2 No, Never和Any的用法
要达成否定 的意思,有时我们也可以用no和never这些字，no必须跟一个名词，请看下面的例子：
1.I saw no students here.
are no lakes in this country.

3.I have no money.
4.I had no choice.


has no friends.


17

以上这些例子也可以用not来表示 否定的意思，如果用not，则以上的句子应该照下面的方式写；
1.I did not see any student here.
can not find any lake in this country.
3.I do not have any money.
4.I did not have any choice.
does not have any friends.
除以上not之外，never也可以表达否定的意思，以下 都是never的例子，请注意never常用在完成式的句子里：
I have never gone there.
He has never written any song.
They have never washed their clothes.
【练习二十四】
用no，not和never填空在以下的句子里:
1. I have money.
2. A selfish person does have any friends.
3. man is entirely alone.
4. one is living here. We can get into this house.
5. a single person loves me.
6. one loves me.
7. The person whom I saw did come.
8. I did go to work yesterday.
9. I had work to do yesterday.
10. I can find any one in this hall.

12. He has written to me.
第七章 问句(Questions)

He will not go to a concert tonight. Will he go to a concert tonight?
He is going to swim. Is he going to swim?
They must eat vegetables. Must they eat vegetables?
They have to go. Do they have to go?
I walked two kilometers yesterday. Did I walk two kilometers yesterday?
It is raining now. Is it raining now?
根据以上的例子，我们可以归纳乘以下的规则：
(1) 凡动词是verb to be的，变成问句时，动词移到主词前面去。
例子：
原来句子 问句
You are a girl. Are you a girl?
He was a teacher. Was he a teacher?
They were all old. Were they all old?
This song is beautiful. Is this song beautiful?
Peter is a good student. Is Peter a good student?
(2) 动词不是verb to be，也没有助动词，改成问句时，必须加助动词do或他的变形，这个助动词必须在主词的
前面。
例子：
18

原来句子 问句
I like music. Do I like music?
He likes sports. Does he like sports?
Peter went to America. Did Peter go to America?
He ate three apples last night. Did he eat three apples last night?
Her mother calls her every week. Does her mother call her every week?
(3) 句子中间如已有助动词，改成问句时，只要将助动词移到主动词前面即可。
例子：
原来句子 问句
He did not eat. Did he eat?
He has gone to America. Has he gone to America?
She can dance. Can she dance?
I will see you tonight. Will I see you tonight?
They are going to Washington. Are they going to Washington?
我们的问句中，当然也可已有否定的意义，比方说，我们可以问：
你不喜欢音乐吗？
他不是你的弟弟吗？
你从未见过他？
英文句子也可以如此，例如：
Don’t you like music?
Doesn’t he play piano?
Aren’t you his brother?
Isn’t he a good student?
Didn’t he go to school?
Hasn’t he lived here?
Won’t he leave tomorrow?
注意，这时not通常和动词连在一起了。
有一件事，是我们中国人必须注意的，假如有人问你：
你不喜欢音乐吗？
而你本人的确也不喜欢音乐，你会回答说：
是，我不喜欢音乐。
也就是说，我 们中国人的回答是顺着问句的。问句说你不喜欢，我们同意他的说法，所以前面加一个〝是〞。假设我
喜 欢音乐，我会回答说：
不，我喜欢音乐。
可是，英文正好相反，英文的yes和no， 与问句的问法无关，而对应了回答的事实。举例来说，我们的问句也许是：
Don’t you like music?
你如不喜欢音乐就回答说：
No, I don’t like music.
你如喜欢音乐，就回答说：
Yes, I like music.
再举一例，有人问：
Isn’t he Chinese?
他是中国人就回答：
Yes, he is.
他如不是，就回答：
No, he isn’t.
反正，英文的yes和no，都和答案的事实对应，而与如何问无关。

第八章 被动语气(Passive Voice)
8§1 及物动词和不及物动词
任何一个英文句子必定有一个动词，请先注意以下例句的动词
1. He was a teacher before.
2. He went to school yesterday.
3. He hit a dog.
4. I saw you yesterday.
5. He walks to school every day.
6. He sent this book to me.
7. They are good students.
8. He wrote two novels.
9. They ate all of the apples.
10. He swims every morning.
在以上的例子中，第3、4、6、8及9句子中的动词都是及物动词（transitive verb s）。这些动词后面都跟着一个
名词，而这个名词是动词的受词（object），其它句子的动词，都 是不及物动词，因为他们都没有任何受词。
我们将以上句子中，主词、及物动词和受词的关系分析如下：
句子 主词 及物动词 受词
He hit a dog. He hit dog
I saw you yesterday. I saw you
He sent his book to me. He sent his book
He wrote two novels. He wrote two novels
They ate all of the apples. They ate all of the apples
一旦动词是及物动词，我们就可以将这个句子由原来的主动语气（active voice）改成被动语气（passive voice）。
但我们也要警告读者，不要轻易用被动语气，因为有时被动语气的句子是不自然的。
8§2 没有助动词的被动语气
在这以前，我们的句子都是主动语气，这种句子的基本形式如下：
主词＋动词＋受词 < br>所谓的被动语气，乃是将原来的受词变成主词。举例来说，主动语气中，我们说〝我看到一些狗〞，在被动 语气中，
我们说〝一些狗被我看到〞。在英文中，将主动语气改成被动语气，必须做以下的动作：
（1） 原有受词变成名词
（2） 动词变成verb to be＋过去分词（past participle）
（3） 原有主词变成在动词后面，但前面加by。
举例来说，主动语气的句子可以是
I saw a cat.
被动语气就成了
A cat was seen by me.
最重要的是，verb to be的时式必须和原句子的相同，以上的例子中，动词是过去式，所以verb to be也是过去式。
除此以外，verb to be也要配合新的主词。请看以下的例子：
I saw two cats.
改成被动语气以后，句子是：
Two cats were seen by me.
以下是主动改被动的例子，最重要的是注意verb to be的形式：
主动语气（active voice） 被动语气（passive voice）
Mr. Jones hit the dog. The dog was hit by Mr. Jones.
My brother saw you yesterday. You were seen by my brother yesterday.
He sent the book to me. The book was sent to me by him.
Dickens wrote those two novels. Those two novels were written by Dickens.
They ate all of the apples. All of the apples were eaten by them.
Jane wrote that song. That song was written by Jane.
My mother loves me. I am loved by my mother.
【练习二十八】
将以下的句子由主动语气改成被动：
21

1. He saw that movie last night.
2. He wrote that letter to me.
3. He teaches those English classes.
4. God loves you.

6. I painted this room.
7. He grows those roses.
8. He helps his students.
9. I sold the house.
10. My uncle bought this car.
【练习二十九】
将以下的句子由被动语气改成主动语气：
1. The policeman was seen by me.
2. Those two books were written by me.
3. These sentences were corrected by my teacher.
4. He was hit by a car.
5. His door was locked by me.
6. His house was built by my father.
7. His boat was given to me by my father.
8. This bird is rarely seen by people here.
9. He is liked by every one.

17. His toy was made by my sister.
18. The book was returned to me by Jim.
19. That song was written by my brother.
20. I was invited by him to a party.
8§3 有助动词肯定句子的被动语气
在上一节，我们所有的例子都只是肯定句子，句子中没有助动词，可是 有些肯定句子还是有助动词的，以下是一些例
子：
主动语气 被动语气
现在进形式 I am writing this letter. The letter is being written by me.
现在完程序 I have written the letter. The letter has been written by me.
过去进形式 I was writing the letter when you came. The letter was being written by me when
you came.
过去完程序 I had written the letter before you came. The letter had been written by me before
you came.
未来式 I will write the letter. The letter will be written by me.
未来完成式 I will have written this letter. This letter will have been written by me.
未来式 I am going to see you. You are going to be seen by me.
以下是更多的例子：
主动语气 被动语气

He had called me before you came. I had been called by him before you came.
He was calling his mother when we went there. His mother was being called by him when we went
there.
助动词不一定和时式有关，can、should、has to等等都是助动词，这些助动词在改成被动语气的时后，都应维持原
状，只需加入verb to be和过去分词即可。以下是一些例子：
22

主动语气 被动语气
I can play the piano.
I may use this room.
The piano can be played by me.
He must give the book to me.
This room may be used by me.

You should help him.

第九章 动词如何转换成名词
动名词（Gerund）和不定词（Infinitive）
9§1 问题的来源 对我们说中文的人而言，一个字究竟是动词，还是名词，其实是很少人知道的，对一般人而言，〝唱歌〞是动 词，但
是如果我们说，〝唱歌是有益的〞，我们又发现〝唱歌〞其实也是名词。〝我爱唱歌〞，这句话中 ，〝唱歌〞也是名
词。
英文就不同了，英文里很少有一个字，又是动词，又是名词的，si ng是动词，绝不能当名词用。怪不得有很多中国人
会说
＊Sing is good for you. 或者是 ＊I like sing.
既然sing是动词，也没有一个 〝sing〞的名词，怎么办呢？英文解套的办法很有趣，他们用动名词（gerund）和不
定词（i nfinitive）来将一个动词改成一个名词。
9§2 动名词（Gerund）
所谓动名词，乃是将一个动词，字尾加上ing，一夜之间，这个动词就可以当作名词用了。请看以下的例子：
I like singing.
Playing basketball is good for you.
Do you enjoy listening to classical music?
Is traveling around the world meaningful to you?
Studying English is not difficult.
我们不妨将动名词的用法分一下类：
1. 动名词可用作主词，如
Playing tennis is enjoyed by many people.
Taking drugs is avoided by most people.
Being kind to others is important for every one.
Respecting your parents shows good character.
2. 动名词可以用作动词的受词，如
I enjoy studying English.
He does not mind walking long distances.
I have never enjoyed being alone in my life.
He loves swimming.
3. 动名词可以用作介系词（preposition）的受词，英文里有很多介系词，at, in, about, of, on等等都是介系词，
介系词后面必定跟一个名词，也是它的受词，举例来说
on the table
in my home
about Hitler
of my life
on this island
各位一定注意到，每一个介系词后面都有一个名词，作为它的受词。
动名词是可以作为介系词的受词的，如：
This book is about traveling.
He is responsible for cleaning the kitchen.
My brother is capable of writing programs.
You just keep on going straight. < br>在下面，我们要给各位更多有关gerund的例子，各位不妨看看每一个句子中，那个动名词是作什么用 的。
Instead of swimming, he walks every morning.
He likes walking in the woods.
Are you interested in playing tennis?
Loving is to be kind to others.
27

Reading is important to students.
In addition to traveling, he also likes reading novels.

You will be happy by helping others.

He is worried about being late.

I finished writing the report yesterday.

They thanked me for lending them money.

He has never finished writing the novel.

She is in change of teaching English in our school.

My father objected to my going to the summer camp.

Please stop joking about my brother.
I look forward to seeing you.

She was excited about going abroad.

I believe in doing some kind of exercise every day.

Playing the piano is no fun at all.

Nancy is accustomed to sleeping late.

Are you tired of driving for so long?

He insists on getting up early every morning.

9.他负责（be in charge of）找寻一个好的地方。
10.我已习惯了（be accustomed to）早起。
9§3 不定词（Infinitives）
不定词＝to＋动词的原式。例如to go, to love, to eat等等，都是不定词，不定词和动名词的用法相似，以下全是用
不定词用作名词的例子：
To love is to forgive.
To forgive your enemies will make you happy.
I like to eat chicken.
I asked my brother to come here.
He continued to read.
也许读者发现了不定词和动名词不同的地方：不定词不能用在介系词的后面，以下的句子都是错的：
＊I am interested in to play piano.
＊He is worried about to go abroad.
＊I am in charge of to prepare for the party.
如何将不定词用成名词呢？
1. 不定词可以用作主词：如
To play tennis is great fun.
To play safe in the stock market is necessary.
To be kind to others is important for every one.
To respect your parents shows good character.
2. 不家词可以用成很多动词的受词：
I like to swim.
He loves to listen to jokes.
My brother seems to be different.
I agree to lend him money.
Do you like to sing?
3. 不定词可以跟在代名词的后面，形式如下：
动词（verb）＋代名词（pronoun）＋不定词（infinitive）
例如：
I told him to work hard.
I asked my brother to come back home.
He expects his friends to help him.
My teacher told me to wait for him.
I invited my sister to go to see a movie.
4. 不定词常用在上述句子的被动语气中，例如：
He was told to work hard.
My brother was asked to come back home.
His friend is expected to help me.
I was told by my teacher to wait.
My sister was invited to go to see a movie.
以下是更多的不定词例子：
29

To give is more meaningful than to receive.
I love to swim in cold weather.
He agreed to listen to my story.
He decided to go anyway.
I told him to buy my book.
I invited him to come to my house.
I asked him to cook for me tonight.
Students are asked to work hard.
He needs to work hard.
I want you to send this letter to my father.
He requires every student to read one novel every week.
Every student is required to read one novel every week.
读者一定会问，是不是动名词可以和不定词互调，答案是否定的，有些动词后面可以跟动名词和不定词， 但也有些动
词，后面只能跟动名词，有些动词后面只能跟不定词。
有些动词后面可以跟动名词或不定词：love, like, hate, start, begin,以下的动词，后面只能跟动名词：
Enjoy I enjoy eating good food.
Appreciate I appreciate your being kind to others.
Avoid You should avoid making mistakes.
keep on Keep on working hard.
keep Keep singing.
consider He considered leaving home.
finish He finished writing this book.
suggest May I suggest drinking a cup of coffee?
discuss We discussed traveling to New Zealand.
以下的动词正好相反，只能跟不定词
agree I agree to sign this letter.
plan He plans to go away.
want They want to rent a car.
decide He decided to work hard.
seem He seems to be very happy.
appear He appears to be very sad.
一个字非常特殊，必须讨论一下，那就是stop：
stop smoking 指不再抽烟了
stop to smoke 指停下来，开始抽烟
9§4 动名词和不定词的被动和否定形式
将动词改成名词的时候，也可以有被动语气和否定语气，以下是一些例子：
Everyone likes to be loved.
This cup needs to be washed.
Being trusted is important.
I told him not to leave this house.
He asked me not to cry.
I was told not to fall asleep in class.
To be given a good gift on Christmas Eve makes me happy.
Being invited to that party is a great honor to me.

5.我们应该避免（avoid）饮烟。
6.不要再（stop）抽烟了。
7.每个人都期待（expect）他写一本好书。
8.我要求（require）他每天念英文。
9§5 不定词的简式
不定词中一定要有to，但在有几个动词的后面，to又要省掉，最著名的是let，我们绝不可以说
＊I let him to leave.
而一定要说
I let him leave.
我们也不能说
＊I made him to work hard.（我使他努力工作）
而一定要说
I made him work hard.
以下的动词后面，不定词的后面都要省掉to。
动词 例句
let My mother let me watch TV tonight.
make He makes his students respect teachers.
have He had his sons clean their rooms.
see I saw him run away.
hear I heard the birds sing.
watch I watched the kids play.
notice I noticed her cry.
因为在这些动词 的后面，本来应该用不定词，仅仅是to被省掉了，因此我们在这些动词的后面仍然要用原式，以下
的句 子都是错的：
＊He made his son ran away from home.
＊I saw him walked away..
＊I have never heard him sang any song.
Help这一个动词非常特别，它后面的不定词中的to可省略也可不省，以下的句子都是对的：
I helped him wash his car.
I helped him to wash his car.
【练习四十三】
以下的句子都有错，请改正：
1.＊He lets his son to drive his car.
2.＊He made me felt happy.
3.＊I made my friend to discuss his problem with me.
4.＊I had my son to get up early every morning.
5.＊I helped my father painted his house.
6.＊I had my brother to carry this heavy luggage for me.
7.＊I had Mary to marry me.
31

8.＊This song makes everyone to cry.
9.＊I helped Nancy worked hard.
10.＊He made us to believe him.
11.＊I saw him to play.
12.＊I heard Mary sang several songs.
13.＊I watched her to swim.
14.＊I saw the birds to fly away.
第十章 如何将动词改成形容词 我们中文里，一个字有时是动词，有时却又可以用作形容词，最著名的例子是〝微笑老萧〞（萧万长院长的外 号）〝微
笑〞应该是动词，可是在这里，显然〝微笑〞是形容词。〝哭泣〞通常是动词，可是我们也可以 说〝哭泣的孩子〞。
也难怪我们常见到以下错误的英文句子：
＊ a smile face
＊ a run boy
需知smile和cry都是动词，是不能当作形容词来用的。
可是，更糟糕的是以下句子：〝住在台湾的人很有钱〞，我们很多人会说
＊ People live in Taiwan are rich.
以上的话为什么错呢？因为People是主词，are是动词，live in Taiwan形容p eople，可是live是一个动词，不能用
作形容词的。怎么办呢？我们可以将一个动词用成一个形 容词，我们的做法是利用分词（participle）和不定词
（infinitive），而分词有 两种：现在分词（present participle）和过去分词（past participle），我们在下一节，
先谈现在分词的用法。
10§1 现在分词（present participle）作为形容词
任何一个动词，都有一个现在分词（present participle），现在分词的形式是在动词后面加上ing，如：
laughing
crying
walking
swimming
running
以下的例子中，现在分词都是形容词
a crying baby
a smiling girl
an exciting story
running water
a running boy
a rising star
现在分词不一定放在名词的前面，在以下的句子中，现在分词都在名词的后面
a person walking in the woods
the young man running very fast
people living in Taiwan
the person driving that red car
the singer singing the national anthem（国歌）
the boys playing in the fields
the young boy swimming in the pool
以下句子中的现在分词，都被用作形容词。
We have a crying baby here.
Seeing is believing.（believing是形容词，seeing是名词）
Loving is forgiving.
He always wears a smiling face.
Running water is important for mankind.
Look at the rising sun.
The person swimming in that cold river is quite strong.
The young man driving the red car is rich.
Those boys playing basketball are happy.
This movie is exciting.
This news is very upsetting.
This story is troubling.
32

The young boy swimming in the pool is my brother.
People living in the United States consume more energy than other people.

The person painting the house there is from Mexico.
She has a loving husband.


He is a rising star.

【练习四十四】
将以下的中文句子译成英文，每句都要用现在分词
1.
2.
这是一本有趣的故事。
3.
这门课很无聊（boring

）。

4.
看那只在唱歌的鸟。

5.
那位微笑的人是我的哥哥。
6.
住在乡下的人通常很健康。

7.
我不认识那位骑脚车的男孩子。


8.
那位正在吃冰淇淋的小孩子是我的儿子。
9.
那位在问问题的学生非常聪明。

10.那位垂死（
你见过那位打篮球的男孩子吗？

dying）的病人是我的老师。




10§2 过去分词（past participle）作为形容词
在完成式中，我们要用过去分词，过去分词也可以作为形容词，以下是一些例子：
a broken window
a fallen angel
a fallen star
（堕落的天使）
（破碎的窗）


a depressed person
（已经不走红的明星）


a much appreciated action
（一个沮丧的人）
（为人很欣赏的动作）


究竟过去分词和现在分词何不同呢？过去分词多半有动被和已经完成的意思。最好的例子是 ：开发中家叫做a
developing country，已开发国家就叫做a developed country。
以下的例子可以解释过去分词和现在分词的不同：
1. (a)
This book is interesting.
这本书很有趣。
(b)
I am interested in this book.
我对这本书很有兴趣。


2. (a)
This is a depressing movie.
这是一部令人沮丧的电影。


(b)
I felt very much depressed after seeing that movie.
我看了这部电影以后，感到非常沮丧。


3. (a)
The result is frustrating.
结果令人失望。

(b)
He was frustrated because of the result.
他因这个结果而非常失望。


4. (a)
This news is really upsetting.
这个消息真令人难过。

(b)
They are all upset.
他们都很难过。

5. (a)
John’s progress is encouraging.
约翰的进步令人鼓舞。


(b)
I a
我因约翰的进步而感到鼓舞。

6. (a)
m encouraged by John’s progress.
The water is boiling.
水在烧。

(b)
This is boiled water.
这是烧开的水。

7.(a)
This news is surprising.
这个消息出人意外。


(b)
I was surprised by the news.
我对这个消息感到意外。


8. (a)他的谈话令人困惑。

33

His words are confusing.
(b)
He is a confused person.
他是一个充满困惑的人。



记住，以下的句子都是错的：
＊His statements are confused to me.
＊I am interesting in music.
＊He is an interested person.
＊This is indeed a surprised news.
＊This news is encouraged.
正确的句子应该是：
His statements are confusing.
I am interested in music.

He is an interesting person.

This is indeed a surprising news.

This news is encouraging.

以下是含有过去分词的句子，每一个过去分词都用作形容词：
America is a developed country.
I found that dog killed in a car accident.

The frustrated student needs help.
I want the report completed before midnight.


He is totally depressed.

They are all frustrated.

The car driven by that young man is a Cadillac.

This book, read by almost every one, was written by Charles Dickens.

This is still an unrealized dream.
Are you interested in music?

I am really surprised to meet you.

I was excited by his arrival.

The girl dressed in white is from Japan.

A depressed person needs love from others.

Millions got killed in the Second World War.

He is a troubled child who needs advice.
I have a broken leg.


Broken glass is all over the place.


千万注意，我们不可以轻易乱用过去分词，以下的句子都是错的：
＊He is suffered.
＊This article will be appeared in the next issue of Science.
正确的说法是：
He suffers.
This article will appear in the next issue of Science.

23. I don't like the song (write) by the Beatles.
24. She is a (care) woman.
10§3 不定词（Infinitives）作为形容词和副词
不定词可以用作名词，也 可以用作形容词，以下都是不定词用作形容词的例子，要注意的是不定词不会放在名词的前
面：
You don't have the right to talk so loudly.
He is to blame.
To see is to believe.（To see是名词，to believe是形容词）

9. 我的工作是教小孩英文。
10. 我看到你，感到很意外。（surprised to…...）
11. 我们有很多可谈的事。
35

12. 他没有可以交谈的朋友。
第十一章 词组（Phrases）和子句（Clauses）
请看以下的句子，特别注意划线的字群：
1. Understanding English is easy.
2. I want you to work hard.
3. Peter, who has been to England, speaks good English.
4. I told him that I was going away.
Understanding English和to work hard有一共同特色，他们都没有主词，也没有动词，这种字群，叫做词组（phrase）。
Who has been to England和I was going away中，内部都有主词和动词，这种字群，叫子句（clause）。
由于我们已经对词组很熟悉，我们在这里不再讨论，而我们在这一章将多多介绍子句的用法。
11§1 问题型式的名词子句
假如我们说〝我不知道他住在哪里〞，或者〝他究竟住在哪 里仍是个谜〞，我们就可以用这种问题型式的名词子句，
每一个名词子句都要用who, where, whether, which等来开始。以下是典型的例子：
I don't know where he came from.（我不知道他来自何处。）
Whether or not he is an American is still a secret.（他是否是个美国人仍然是个秘密。）
I will find out where he is living.（我要找出他住在哪里。）
I can not remember whether he smokes or not.（我不记得他是否吸烟。）
Please let me know how old he is.（请让我知道他多大年纪。）
Kindly tell me what you really need.（请让我知道你需要什么。）
You have to decide which book you want to buy.（你应该决定买哪一本书。）
Do you know where he is from?（你知道他是从哪里来的？）
Do you know who he is?（你知道他是谁吗？）
Please ask your brother whether he is coming or not.（请问你的兄弟他会不会来。）
When she is coming remains a puzzle.（她何时来仍然是个谜。）
I don't know what he is interested in.（我不知道他的兴趣何在。）
I don't understand what he is talking about.（我不知道他在谈什么。）
Do you know whose bicycle this is?（你知道这辆脚踏车是谁的吗？）
Do you know which country Hawaii belongs to?（你知道夏威夷属于哪一个国家吗？）
You should ask your mother where you were born.
（你应该问你的母亲你在哪里生的。）
虽然每一个名词都有问题的意义，我们却不能在名词 子句中用问句的型式，因为毕竟这个名词子句仅仅是一个子句而
已，它的结尾并不是〝？〞。
因此以下的句子都是错的：
＊I don't know where did he come from.
＊I will find out how old is he.
＊Kindly tell me what do you need.
＊You have to decide which book do you want to buy.
＊When is he coming remains a puzzle.

8. 我知道他为何如此悲伤。
9. 你知道玛丽什么时候来吗？
10. 你知道发生了什么事吗？
11. 我知道天空为什么是蓝的。
12. 请告诉我你去年去哪里工作的。
13. 你知道他在谈什么吗？
36

14. 我不懂他的问题是什么。
【练习四十九】
改错：
1. Please tell me why is he so sad.
2. I do not know where is she from.
3. Please tell me how many people are there in this house.
4. Let me know how old are you.
5. Is he a Japanese is a mystery.
6. Do you know who is the president of the United States?
7. May I ask you which kind of coffee do you like?
8. I can not remember how old am I?
9. What is he talking about is unclear to me.
10. Do you know why is he coming?
【练习五十】

填法）：
1. I don't know book you bought.
2. Do you know he is from?
3. Please ask him he drinks tea or not.
4. he is thinking about is well known to all of us.
5. Let me guess old you are.
6. May I ask you are so sad?
7. I don't know he is.
8. Do you know house this is?
9. This is not I want.
10. I don't care you want to say.
11§2 以that开始的名词子句
现在我们先试着翻译以下的句子：
地球是圆的是众所周知的事。
一种直接了当的翻译是：
＊The earth is round is known to everyone.
遗憾的是，以上的句子是不对，我们必须加一个that到名词子句里去，以下的翻译是正确的：
That the earth is round is known to everyone.
我们再来翻译一个中文句子：
我要求他一定要用功念书。
直接了当的翻译可能像下面的：
＊I demand he must work hard.
这是错的，我们应该加一个that在这个名词子句的前面。以下的翻译才是正确的：
I demand that he must work hard.
虽然我们常看到这 种that被省略的情形，我们仍希望大家知道，为保险起见，最好不要省掉that。以下是一些例子：
That the sun rises from the west is wrong.（太阳从西方升起是错的）
That a lot of Jews were killed during the Second World War is now a historical fact.
（大批犹太人在第二次大战中被杀是历史上的事实）
I didn't know that he is such a diligent student.（我不知道他是如此勤快的学生）
I demand that you go away.（我要求你离开）
I suggest that you go swimming every morning.（我建议你每天早上游泳）
That we should all respect our parents should be taught to our kids.
（我们该教孩子们尊敬父母）
I don't think that he is a good athlete.（我不认为他是一个好运动员）
Do you think that she is a good actress?（你认为她是一个好的演员吗？）
That he can speak good English helps him.（他能说很好的文，这点对他很有帮助）
I propose that we get married.（我建议我们结婚）
Let us always remember that there are a lot of poor people in the world.
（我们永远记住世界上有很多穷人）
Never forget that we should always love one another.（不要忘记我们应该互相友爱）
37

I am surprised to find out that he is a Catholic.（我很惊讶地发现他是个天主教徒）
That we lost the game made all of us frustrated.（我们输了，这件事令我们大感沮丧）
I can hardly believe that his English is so good.（我不能相信他的英文如此之好）
【练习五十一】
请将that加到以下句子去：
1.＊I told you you must leave.
2.＊I am glad you are here now.
3.＊He is an American is unknown to us.
4.＊Can you imagine he is Chinese?
5.＊Do you think he is a Chinese?

10.＊Do you believe he is innocent?
11.＊I demand my students they work hard.

13. 我希望他能来。
14. 你相不相信他在台湾长大的？
15. 我无法决定他该不该念大学。
16. 你告诉我他去年到美国了。
17. 这位老师不知道我的爸爸也是老师。
18. 我要问他明天会不会来我家。
19. 你知道这火车到台北吗？
20. 请告诉我你会不会说英文。
11§3 形容词子句（Adjective Clauses）
在上二节，子句都是用作 名词的。在这一节，我们要介绍一种新的子句，那就是形容词子句。请看以的中文句子：
位在那房子里的人是我的哥哥。
我们不能直接了当地将以上的句子译成：
＊The person live in that house is my brother
第一种办法是将live in the house改成living in the house，也就是说，我们可以将那个中文句子译成下列的形式：
The person living in the house is my brother.
以上的句子中，living in the house是一个词组，我们可以将这个词组改成子句。因此，以下的翻译是正确的：
The person who lives in the house is my brother.
在以上的句子中，who lives in the house是一个子句，因为它有主词，也有动词。他的作用是形容The person，所
以是一个形容词子句。
由于形容词子句永远都是在形容一个名词，因此我 们在这个子句中必需有一个代名词（pronoun），像who, when,
where, whom等。
以下是一些形容词子句的例子，读者应该弄清楚每一个形容词子句所形容的名词。
The people who live in the country are often very healthy.
（住在乡下的人常常很健康）
38

Do you like people who always talk about themselves.
（你喜欢那些永远讲他自己的人吗？）
The house which we bought last year is located beside a lake.
（我们去年买的房子座落在湖边）
I met your uncle who has a red car.（我遇见了你的有红色汽车的叔叔）
Do you know the author who wrote this novel?（你知道写这本书的作者吗？）
I have been to the house where Charles Dickens lived.
（我曾去过狄更司住过的房子）
I don't remember the year when the Second World War broke out.
（我不记得二次世界大战哪一年爆发的）
Let me know the date when you got married.（让我知道你是哪一天结婚的）
I bought the car which Michael Johnson drove.（我下了麦克强森开的车子）
The storm which hit India last week is very strong.
（上周袭击印度的暴风雨是很强烈的）
I thank all of you who helped me.（我要谢谢所有帮助过我的人）
The girl whom you met last night works in a library.
（你昨晚碰到的女孩子在一个图书馆里工作）
The students whom you taught like you very much.（那些你教过的学生很喜欢你）
I like the professor who taught me English.（我喜欢那位教我英文的老师）
In this country, there are a lot of students who go to school by bus.
（这个国家有很多学生搭乘公车上学）
Have you heard about the murder case that occurred last night?
（你有没有听到有关昨天晚上发生的谋杀案？）
Those who love others will be loved by others.（爱人者人恒爱之）
He is a person whom everyone is talking about these days.（他是大家最近在讨论的人）
The party which I went to is interesting.（我去参加的宴会很有趣）
The professor whom I spoke to is very friendly.（这位我和他谈话的教授很和善）
Russia, which this island belongs to, is a big country.
（这个岛屿属于俄国，俄国是一个大的国家）
请注意以上最后的四个句 子，它们有一个共同的特性，那就是子句的最后一个字是一个介系词（preposition），我们
先看第一个句子：
He is a person whom everyone is talking about these days.
这一句话可以分成两个句子来讲
He is a person.
Everyone is talking about him these days.
因此我们将这两句话合并而成为
He is a person whom everyone is talking about these days.
在正式的英文中，我们必须说：
He is a person about whom everyone is talking these days.
再看下一句：
The party Which I went to is interesting.
这句话也可以分成两句来讲：
The party is interesting.
I went to the party.
因此我们将两个句子合并为一个句子：
The party which I went to is interesting.
正式的讲法应该是
The party to which I went is interesting.
同理，在正式英文中，其它二个名词子句中的介系词，也应该放到前面去：
The professor to whom I spoke is very friendly.
Russia, to which this island belongs, is a big country.
我们还有一点必须在此指出，请看以下错误的句子：
＊I like the book which you gave it to me.
以上句子中的it是多余的，因为gave的受词是which，不需要加it。
以下的句子都是错的：
＊He is the person whom everyone loves him.
＊He is not the person whom you saw him.

7. Do you know that student I taught?
8. I have no idea about the person you are talking about.
9. Do you know he is talking about?
10. Do you know dress it is?

第十二章 冠词（Articles）
假设我们要翻译以下的中文句子：
他是聪明的孩子
也许我们会将以上的句子翻译成以下的句子：
＊ He is clever baby.
这种翻译是错的，boy的前面，必须有一个冠词，英文冠词只有两个：a和the，在 这个例子，我们应该加a，因此
正确的翻译是：
He is a clever boy.
我们现在再看以下的中文句子：
他是昨天来看我的孩子。
以下的翻译是错的：
＊ He is boy who came to see me yesterday.
为什么错呢？仍然是在于boy前面没有冠词，这次我们必须加the，正确的翻译是：
He is the boy who came to see me yesterday.
一般来说，英文句子的单数名词前面都会有冠词，没有冠词是例外，以下的句子都是错的：
＊ He saw cat.
40

＊ Swimming is good exercise.
＊ Java is computer language.
＊ King of England died last night.
＊ He is professor who taught me English.
正确的句子是：
He saw a cat.
Swimming is a good exercise.
Java is a computer language.
The King of England died last night.
He is the professor who taught me English.
我们知道大多数的名词前面要加冠词，但究竟要加a，还是the呢？我们在下一节讨论。
12§1 a和the之不同用法
a和the最大的不同，在于a后面的名词不是指定的， 而the后面的名词是有所指的。我们不妨看以下的两个句子，
他们都是正确的，但意义却不同。
John is a boy.
John is the boy.
〝John is a boy.〞的意思是〝约翰是一个男孩〞，而〝John is the bo y.〞的意思就完不同了，我们一定曾经提到过
某一个男孩子，而约翰就是那个男孩子。可能的情形是： There is a boy who is very good in mathematics. John is
the boy.
我们就以〝国王〞为例，如果我们泛指一般的国王，我 们可以用复数，也可以用单数，但必须用a，以下是一些例子：
Kings are also human beings.
Even a king will die sooner or later.
Have you ever met a king ?
I do not like to be a king.
He is an ordinary person, not a king.
如果我们的国王是指某一个特定的国王，就必须用the ，举一个例子；如果我们说〝国王万岁〞，我们当然是指我们
的国王，因此〝国王万岁〞的翻译就是
Long live the King.
以下的例子都是正确
Here comes the King.
The King is a popular person in our country.
Even the King of England can not come in.
读者应该了解，同类型的句子，可以用a，也可以用the，但意义是完全不同的，请看以下的句子：
He is not a boy who would cheat others.
意思是：
他不是那种会欺骗别人的男孩子。
再看以下的句子：
He is not the boy who cheated in an examination yesterday.
他不是昨天在考试中舞弊的男孩。
再看以下的句子：
He is a King.
意思是〝他是一个国王〞。
如果说
He is the King.
意思就完全不同了，这句话的意思是〝他是我们国家的国王〞。
请注意，世界上国王有好多个，如果我们仅仅说他是一个国王，当然没有指定哪一个国家的国王，就用a king，如果
我们用the King意思当然指我们共识中的国王。这时的King中的K必须大写，以示尊敬。
我们再举一个例子：
Please open a window.
是指请开一扇窗子，随便哪一扇都可以。
Please open the window.
就不同了，说这句话的人和听这句话的人一定有一个共识，〝the window 〞一定是指某一扇特定的窗子，也许这间房
子里只有一扇窗，也可能他们谈话中曾经提到某一扇窗，〝t he window〞就是指那一扇窗。
我们可以再举一个例，假如我们说，〝我们需要一场大雨〞，我们说
We need a heavy rain.
如果我们说，〝这场雨好大〞，我们说
The rain is really heavy.
41

有了这个基本观念以后，我们就很容易了解以下句子中，为什么要用the：
I am going to the train station.
The post office is quite near.
Where is the library?
根据这种原则，当我们提到地球，月亮这种独一无二的东西，就必须用the。
the earth
the sun
the moon
the universe
除此以外，the还有一个特殊的用途，我们可以在the的后面加一个形容词，使这两个字变成了一个 名词，举例来说：
the rich
the poor
＝富人
the weak
＝穷人




the deaf
＝弱者
the blind
＝聋人
＝盲人




请注意，以上的名词是复数：
The rich always get richer.
The poor are getting poorer.

The blind are often very sensitive to sounds.


以下是一些用a和the的例子，读者应设法了解句子中为何有时用a，有时用the。
He is a student.
He is the student who can swim very well.

I like to be a teacher.

He is the teacher who taught me English.

The president of the United States in an important person in the world.

I have a son and a daughter.

I have two sons. This is the son who will be a doctor.

I want to be a teacher who is loved by students.

He is not the person whom we talked about.

There is a boat in the river.

This is the boat which we can use.

The rain is going to stop tomorrow.

We need a good rain.
The weather is really bad.


Is there a train station near us?

Where is the station?

Do you know where the post office is?

There is a post office inside that building.

The library looks so good.

The rich should pay more taxes.

We should pay more attentions to the poor.

The blind can also study computer science now.

The earth is round.

The sun never sets in the British Empire.

Do you think we can reach the moon?

How large is the universe?

10. She is teacher who got many prizes.
11. earth is not flat.
12. Is there hotel around here?
13. Where is train station.
14. I really like library.
15. Please give me glass of water.
16. wind is getting stronger and stronger.
17. He is friend of mine.
18. It is hard for poor to go to colleges.
19. He is swimmer who swam across the English Channel.
20. weather is getting colder and colder.
21. This is book which I bought yesterday.
22. I don't like to be professor.
23. I am going to take vacation next month.
24. John will become basketball player.
25. I ride bicycle to work every morning.
12§2 a和an的用法
在英文里，a有时必须用an代替，凡是一个字一开始的发音是元音的话，那么前面就不能用a，而必须 用an。例子：
an apple
an answer
an egg
an eye
an island
an idea
an old lady
an odd case
an umbrella
请注意，用a n与否并不是完全和字母有关，而是和发音有关。举例来说，u虽然是一个元音字母，但是我们却说a unit，
而不能用＊an unit，因为unit的一开始发音并非元音。
其它类似的例子有：
a useful car
a university
a uniform
a one-sided opinion
反过来说，有些字并不以元音开始，但是却必须用an，因为这些字的第一音节是元音发音，例子：
an honest person
43

an hour
【练习五十八】
填入a或an
1. He is English Professor.
2. This is easy job.
3. He is just ordinary person.
4. friend in need is friend indeed.
5. Give me hint.
6. I have American friend.
7. I will become engineer.
8. Is he honest boy?
9. hour later, he went away.
10. Is this university library?
12§3 冠词使用时的例外
在以上的两节，我们好像说冠词的使用 是有一定规则的，其实不然，例外也不少。在很多情形之下，冠词是要省略的，
更麻烦的是，连省略冠词 的规则都有例外，应该省的却又不省了。
第一个有关冠词的特殊用法是这样的，假设我们要说〝男生通常不喜欢弹钢琴〞，我们不能说
Boy does not like to play the piano.
而要说
Boys do not like to play the piano.
这时，Bo ys的前面，是没有冠词的，理由很简单，我们不能加a，因为boys是复数，我们也不能加the，因为bo ys
并没有指定哪一个男孩，也没有指定哪一种男孩。类似的例子有：
Girls are more diligent than boys.
When spring comes, flowers start to bloom.
Dogs are often close to their masters.
Cats are often quite lazy.
Men eat more than women.
Professors are all very smart.
第二个规则有关所谓不可数名词，很多名词是可以数的如：
a cup, two cups
a boy, three boys
a teacher
a student
a boat
an airplane
a glass of water
a cup of tea
可是很多名词是不可数的，以下这些名词都是抽象的，因此不可数
time
love
hatred
pain
joy
sadness
kindness
wisdom
hope
patience
这些抽象名词的前面是不要加冠词的，例子如下：
Time flies.（时间过得很快）
We can not live without love.
Let there be no hatred.
We must be able to endure pain.
Loving others creates joy.
There is sadness in his voice.
Can you feel his kindness?
44

He has wisdom.
There is hope among us.
I am losing patience.
以上的例子，乃是泛指的事物，如果特定的抽象名词，仍要加冠词。例如：
This is the time to cry.
Do you feel the pain?
There is a hatred towards was in our society.
Everyone can feel the joy of being loved.
We just can not avoid the sadness of losing some loved ones.
He does have the patience to listen to long talks.
It is a virtue not to steal.
还有一些不可数的名词，是所谓的物质名词，像
water
fire
air
metal
tea
coffee
bread
butter
如果这些物质名词泛指一般的东西，前面是不要加冠词的，例如
Drinking water is important.
Don't play with fire.
We need air to breath.
There is metal in this device.
I don't drink tea.
I like coffee.
Father brings bread and butter home every day.
一旦物质名词指特定的东西，前面就要加冠词，例如：
The water in this city is polluted.
There was a fire near our home last night.
The air in this town is getting worse and worse.
Copper is a metal.
The tea from India is very popular in England.
专有名词，一般说来都不要加冠词的：
Mary is from Canada.
John got married last month.
Taiwan is an island.
England is in Europe.
France is a nice country to visit.
Russia is a large country.
Park Street is the main street in this city.
Go to Taipei first.
Sun Moon Lake is a beautiful lake.
January is often very cold here.
Sunday is a day for resting.
Spring is the best season.
Mt. Everest is in Europe.
President Kennedy died when he was young.
King George was considered a mad king.
Queen Elizabeth visited Australia recently. < br>可惜的是，英文中专有名词仍有要加the的，我们将试着将这些例外写成规则，但这种规则一定挂一漏万 ，读者如要
知道何种情况要加冠词，何种情况不加冠词，惟一的办法是多读英文的文章，慢慢地就会了解 什么情形该用冠词，什
么情形不用冠词。
哪些专门名词前面仍要加冠词the呢？
(1) 河流，海洋，沙漠，海峡，海湾等等专有名词的前面都要加the。
the Hudson River （赫德森河）

我们说过， 一般的专有名词是不要加冠词的，但是有很多其它的名词前面也不要加冠词，以下是一些规则：
(1)

学科一概不加冠词
He hates geometry.
She teaches us history.


(2)
Did you have lunch.
三餐一概不加冠词

Missing breakfast is bad for your health.

千万记住，如果我们的名词指定某一个特定的时候，就仍要加冠词，以下是一些例子：

The dinner you treated me last night was really good.

Did you have a big breakfast?

(3)

I went to church yesterday.
假如我们说〝上学〞，〝去教堂〞等等，都不要加冠词，例如
He goes to church every Sunday.

She is going to college this summer.

Did you go to school last week?

但是如果我们说的是指定的教堂，学校等等，仍要加冠词，例如：
I went to the church at the corner of Park Street yesterday.

I did not go to the college which my father went to.

第十三章 形容词的比较级
如果我们要翻译〝他比较老〞，我们不能说
＊ He is more old.
而一定要说
He is older.
为什么呢？这是因为英文里面的形容词有所谓的比较级规则。在下一节，我们讲一些最基本的规则。
13§1 最基本的规则
首先，我们要说明英文形容词有三个等级：原级、比较级和最高级 ，最基本的规则是根据音节的多少来分的。
一般来说，单音节的形容词在字后面加er，就变成了比较 级，加est就变成了最高级，而双音节，或双音节以上的
形容词，比较级是在字前面加more，最高 级则是在字前面加most，举例来说，old, smart, strong, weak, high, low
等等都是单音节的形容词，他们的变化如下：
原级 比较级 最高级
old older oldest
smart smarter smartest
strong stronger strongest
weak weaker weakest
high higher highest
low lower lowest
以上的形容词，都是单音节的，以下的例子都有关双音节的形容词：
原级 比较级 最高级
difficult more difficult most difficult
delicious more delicious most delicious
beautiful more beautiful most beautiful
correct more correct most correct
stupid more stupid most stupid
significant more significant most significant
有一个规则必须注意，我们不能将more和er混在一齐用，以下的例子都是错的：
＊ He is more older than I.
49

＊ He is more taller than his brother.
正确的句子是：
He is older than I.
He is taller than his brother.
【练习六十二】
写出以下形容词的比较级：
1. small
2. slow
3. intelligent
4. expensive
5. tall
6. short
7. important
8. cheap
9. famous
10. cold
11. fast
12. careful
13. colorful
14. long
15. dark
16. bright
13§2 特殊的比较级规则
在上一节，我们说明了最基本的规则，那就 是单音节形容词加er或est，双音节的形容词前面加more或most。但
以下就是这些基本规则 的例外。
(1) 单音节形容词的字是e，就直接加r或st：
原级 比较级 最高级
large larger largest
late later latest
nice nicer nicest
wise wiser wisest
(2) 形容词的字尾是y，而前一个子母是一个子音，则除掉y，加上ier，或iest：
原级 比较级 最高级
lucky luckier luckiest
happy happier happiest
pretty prettier prettiest
dry drier driest
easy easier easiest
(3) 单音节形容词的字尾是子音，前一音是一个元音，则字尾必须重复一次，再加er或est：
原级 比较级 最高级
fat fatter fattest
hot hotter hottest
wet wetter wettest
big bigger biggest
(4) 完全不规则的变化：
英文中，有几个特殊的字，他们的比较级完全没有规则，以下是一些例子，读者必须记住：
原级 比较级 最高级
good
better best
well
bad worse worst
many
more most
much
50

【练习六十三】
写下以下形容词的比较级：
1. cute
2. wide

3. early

4. happy

5. heavy

6. thin

7. easy

8. hot

9. wise

10. large

11. good

12. bad

13. many


13§3 比较形的用法
大多数比较级句子里会有than，以下是一些例子：
I am older than he.
His English is better than mine.

San Francisco is more beautiful than New York.

His car is cheaper than your car.

He is the most diligent student in his class.

I like apples more than oranges.
He has more money than his brother.


He is stronger than his brother.

必须注意的是以下的句子是错的：
＊ I am older than him.
＊ She is smarter than me.
为什么错了呢？因为原来句子应该是：
I am older than he (is).
She is more smart than I (am).


习惯上的is和am都省略掉的，由以上的解释可以看出，than后面的句词应 该是主词，而非受词。
以下的错误，也请特别注意：
＊ My head is larger than your.
正确的句子是：
My head is larger than your head.
或者 My head is larger than yours.
请看以下几个错误的句子：
＊ My house is larger than your.
＊ The temperature of this city is higher than San Francisco.
＊ The height of Himalayas is greater than Mt. Fuji.
＊ My bicycle is older than his.
正确的句子应该是：
My house is larger than your house.
或者 My house is larger than yours.
The temperature of this city is higher than the temperature of San Francisco.
或者 The Temperature of this city is higher than that of San Francisco.
The height of Himalayas is greater than the height of Mt. Fuji.
或者 The height of Himalayas is greater than that of Mt. Fuji.
请注意以下的例子，句子中没有than，但仍有比较级：
Among all the teachers who have taught me, he is the best.
This is the best movie I have ever seen.
This food is the worst one which I have ever eaten.


John is the stronger one.

Do we have a better choice?

第十四章 总复习的例子
在这一章，我们将给很多简短的文章，每一段文 章的后面，我们都会有详细的解释，相信这些解释将有助于读者对于
文法的了解。
（１）
52

Dear Mother:
I arrived at the Taipei Train Station around one o'clock in the afternoon yesterday. My friend, Mr. Chen,
greeted me in the station. We took a taxi to go directly to the university and checked into the dormitory. The
dormitory is a very old one. I will live with three other boys and I met two of them already. Both of them are
from Taichung and they are both quite friendly.
We went to the dormitory cafeteria for dinner. The food is not that good. Dear Mother, I miss you and
especially the food you cooked for me.
Your son
这封信很简单，所叙述的事情不是用简单的现在式，就是简单的过去式，当然也有一次用了未来式。
绝大多数的句子都用了简单的过去式，因为这些句子都是叙述过去所发生的事，用现在式的有以下几句：
The dormitory is a very old one.
Both of them are from Taichung.
The food is not that good.
I miss you and the food you cooked for me.
为什么这几句话要用现在式呢？道理很简单，这几句话描写的是一些状态，而并非过去发生的事。
〝The dormitory is a very old one.〞
〝Both of them are from Taichung.〞
〝The food is not that good.〞
〝I miss you and the food you cooked for me.〞
等四个句子都是目前存在的事实，所以要用现在式。
现在我们不妨看一下冠词的情形，我们可以看到很多地方都用了the，如：
the Taipei Train Station
the afternoon
the station
the university
the dormitory cafetervia
the dormitory
the food
the food you cooked for me
各位读者一定可以注意到在the后面的名词都有所指，举例来说，the university指那所作者要去念的大学，他的妈
妈知道他所说的是那一所大学。The dormitory指那间他已搬进去住的宿舍。凡是有所指的名词前面，原则上都应该
加the。
哪里用了〝a〞呢？注意，我们用了两次
a taxi
a very old one
读者应该不难看出为什么这里我们不能用the，而一定要用a。
（２）
Mary:
John:
Mary:
John:
Mary:
John:
Mary:
John:
Mary:
John:
Mary:
这一篇短文主要的目的在于介绍所谓现在进行式。
Who is calling.
I am doing fine.
I am studying for the final examination now.
都是标准的现在进行式，事实上，也必须用现在进行式。
（３）
I have been interested in music ever since I was a small child. When I was seven years old, my mother gave me
a violin as a birthday present. I have been taking violin lessons ever since.
I am so much interested in music that I finally decided to go to music school. This was a hard decision for me.
I consulted with my parents. Both of them encouraged me to go ahead.
Yesterday, I was accepted by one of the best music schools in Taiwan. I am really happy about this.
这一段话中，我们开始用现在完成式，比方说第一句话就是
53

I have been interested in music ever since I was a small child.
为什么要用现在完成式呢？道理很简单，这句话里面有有〝ever since〞这个词，凡是有了这个词句，我们就一定要
用现在完成式了。
另外一句用了现在完成进行式的句子是：
I have been taking violin lessons ever since.
读者不妨去看看第四章，就知道为什么这 里要用现在完成进行式了。凡是〝自从〞某某日开始，而就一直在做的事情，
就应该用现在完成式，或者 现在完成进行式。
这一段文章里面，我们还用了被动语气。
I was accepted by one of the best music schools in Taiwan.
各位读者不妨注意，这被动语气的用法是很正当而且适宜的，如用主动这句话变成了
One of the best music schools accepted me.
这样反而并不太能表达原意。
（４）
Before I got into college, I had been to the United States and lived there for one year. This is why I could
speak English better than average students.
As I studied as a college student, Hitler was secretly preparing for the Second World War. The war erupted
finally when I was a senior. I was forced to quit school and was drafted into the army. I luckily survived the
war and came back to resume my studying after the war was over. Since I had gone to the war, I was more
mature than most of the other students.
Even now, I can still remember my days as a college student as well as a soldier.
这篇文章介绍了如何使用过去完成式，第一句话就用了过去 完成式，因为有两件事，一件是〝进大学〞，另一件是〝去
过美国〞，由于在进大学以前去美国，所以〝 去美国〞就用了过去完成式。
请注意第二段的第一句：
As I studied as a college student, Hitler was secretly preparing for the Second World War.
这一次，我们用了过 去进行式，因为有两件事，〝在学校念书〞是一件事，〝希特勒在准备发动第二次世界大战〞是
另一件事 ，其中有一件可以用过去完成式。
同理，在第二段话的最后一句话中，〝曾经去打过仗〞用了过去完成式。
这段文章中，有一句话用了被动语气，读者不妨看这句话〝I was forced to quit school.〞，其实我们在这种情形之
下，我们必须用被动语气，当然也可以用主动语气，不过那并 不太自然。
也请读者注意这段文章的最后一句话仍一定要用现在式。
（５）
I have been interested in reading novels for a long time. Among all of the novels that I have read, I like
detective novels the most. Among all detective novels, I especially like those written by Agatha Christe.
Last year, I started reading another kind of novels, namely science fictions. I found out that some science
fiction writers are quite philosophical. Unfortunately, there are not too many of them.
I always have a dream that one day I will be good in writing novels. Do you think that my dreams may come
true?
这段文章中，我们介绍了动名词的用法，第 一句话的reading就是动名词，除此以外，我们还有两处用了动名词：
started reading和good in writing。
读者也应该了解为什么第一句话要用现在完成 进行式，在第二句话里面，当我们形容novels，我们也用了现在完成式。
请读者注意第一段的最后一句话，those written by Agatha Christe 。在这里，written是一个过去分词用作了形容
词，形容novels，我们也可以说those which were written by Agatha Christe.
顺便讲一下，Agatha Christe是一位非常著名的侦探小说作者。
也请大家注意，我们只能说interested in reading，而不能说interesting in reading。
（６）
Tomorrow, there will be a dancing party in our university. Since we are freshmen and most of us have never
been to a large dancing party, we are naturally very much excited. I must say that I am not that excited.
Although dancing is interesting, I often think that the music is too loud. Besides, as a bystander, I often find
the way that the young people dance these days is so funny. When they dance, they often remind me of
monkeys.
Well, I must admit that playing basketball is more interesting to me. But, unfortunately, I cannot play
basketball tomorrow because the courts will be used for the dancing party.
这一段话主要的目的是介绍现分词和过去分词用成形容词的做法。第 一个现在分词是dancing，dancing 在这里形容
party。
我们在这里看到有些时候，我们应该用现在分词，有时要用过去分词。请看以下的句子：
We are naturally very much excited.
在这里，我们一定要用excited，绝对不能用
＊We are naturally very exciting.
下一句
Although dancing is interesting,
54

在这里，我们必须用interest ing，而不能用interested。也就是说，我们不能说
＊Although dancing is interested.
（７）
We probably all believe that we should love others and forgive those who do bad things to us. Unfortunately it
is often hard for us to practice what we believe in. For example, if someone really hurts us badly, we just do
not know what we should do. Should we take some kind of action to hurt the person who hurt us, or should we
forgive him?
The truth is that we may still seek justice. It is right if we want a criminal to go to jail for his crime. Yet, we
should never have hatred in our hearts.
这篇文章的目的在介绍〝子句〞的用法，请注意这篇文章内的很多子句，举例来说
that we should love others and forgive those who do bad things.
就是一个子句，这个子句是believe的受词，有趣的是，这个子句内部又有一个子句，那就是
who do bad things to do.
这个子句是形容those的。
以下是这一段文章的全部子句：
that we should love others and forgive those
who do bad things to us

what we believe in

what we should do

that we may still seek justice
