head和 point在这里不是名词,而是不及物动词。 head作\"朝某方向前进\"(move in a certain direction)解; point作\"指向\"、\"表明……的位置或方向\"(show the position or direction of)解。例如:
We are heading toward the mountain village. 我们正朝那个山村行进。
They saw the enemy troops heading northeast. 他们看到敌军正朝东北方向前进。
The hands of the clock pointed to half past one. 时钟的针指向一点半。
He pointed to where the village lay. 他指了指村子所在的地方。
10 . From this we get the expression\"to make a beeline for someone or something\", which means to go quickly along a straight direct course for someone or something. 从这个词又引出了一个短语\"to make a beeline for someone or something\",意思是朝某人或某物径直走去。
1) make a beeline for作\"走直路\"、\"走近路\"解。例如:
As he spoke he made a beeline for the door. 他一边说话一边朝门口径直走去。
2)短语动词 head for作\"开往/前往(某地)\"解。例如:
They\'ll head for the seaside for their holidays. 他们将去海边度假。
The ship is heading for London for repairs. 那艘船正开往伦敦进行修理。
【语法-定语从句和同位语从句】
1,注意定语从句与同位语从句的区别。定语从句说明先行词性质;同位语从句说明先行词内容。
We were excited at the news that our team won. (同位语从句是news的内容。)
We were excited at the news that he told us. (定语从句说明哪一个news。)
2,定语从句的先行词可以是任何名词,而同位语从句的先行词必须是有内容的词。
The room which serves for lab was dusty. (room没有内容。)
The parents were worried about the fact that he failed in the exam. (fact有内容。)
3,定语从句的关系词往往用which, that都可以;但同位语从句的关联词不能用which(除非当疑问词用)。
He told us a story which/that was not true. (定语从句)
He told us a story that he met an accident. (同位语从句)
