39.be about to do sth.与be to do sth
①be about to do=to be just ready to; be going to正要,马上就,使用时不可再与表示时间的词语连用 。如:We were about to leave when it started to rain.我们正要离开时,天突然下起雨来了 。I was about to go to bed when there was a knock at the door.我正要上床睡觉,这时有人敲门 。
②be to do sth.表示“一定会发生”,“将来的安排”,“将来可能发生” 。例如:We are to get married next week.我们将于下周结婚 。What am I to do?我该怎么做?I'm to see him today at 6 o'clock.我今天将在6点钟去看他 。Am I to go on with my speech?我要继续讲下去吗?
40.go on doing, go on to do与go on with
这三个动词短语都有“继续做某事”的意思,其区别如下:go on doing表示“继续做,一直在做的事(中间无间断)”;go on to do表示“接着做某事”,即某事已做完,接着做另一件事;go on with也表示“继续做某事”,其含义是某一动作一度中止后,又继续下去 。如:He told Dr Bethune not to go on operating any more.他告诉白求恩大夫不要继续手术了 。After reading English, I went on to do maths exercises.读了英语之后,我接着做数学练习 。After having a break, we went on with our lessons.休息之后,我们继续上课 。
41.too much与much too
二者都表示“太”,“非常”之意,much too为副词词组,修饰形容词、副词,但不可修饰动词 。It's much too cold.天气实在是太冷了 。too much作“太多”讲有以下三种用法 。
①作名词词组,如:You have given us too much.你给我们的太多了 。
②作形容词词组修饰不可数名词,如:Don't drink too much wine.不要饮太多的酒 。
③作副词词组修饰不及物动词,如:She talks too much.她说话太多 。
42.rather与fairly
两词都可作“相当地”,“颇有几分”讲 。其主要区别如下:
①fairly主要与“令人有愉快感”的形容词或副词连用,如:good, bravely, well, nice等 。而rather作此意解时,则用于“令人不愉快”的形容词或副词,如:bad, ugly等 。如:Tom is rather lazy, but John is fairly diligent.汤姆很懒惰,而约翰却相当勤奋 。
②如果一个单数名词有形容词修饰,不定冠词须放在fairly前面,而rather却是放前放后皆可 。如:This is a fairly interesting book.这是一本很有趣的书 。This book is rather an interesting one.(同前)
③有些词本身无所谓“令人愉快”或“不愉快”之意,如:fast, show, hot, cold等,说话人则可用fairly来表“赞许”,用rather来表示“不以为然” 。
④fairly往往表示“恰到好处,恰当”,而rather含有“太过分,有过之”之意 。试比较:This book is fairly easy for you to read.(正好合适你读 。) This book is rather easy for you to read.(太简单以致不合适了)
