She isn\'t used to living in the country. 她不习惯在乡下生活。(或:She isn\'t used to country life. )
注意used to和be used to的区别:
used to作“过去常常”解,表示“过去经常做某事”,暗含“现在已经不做此事了”的意思。这里的to是不定式符号,后跟动词原形。be used to作“习惯于”解,其中to是介词,be可以有不同的时态变化(过去时、现在时、将来时)。试比较:
He is used to hard work. 他(现在)习惯于辛勤劳动。
He used to work hard. 他过去工作很努力。(暗指现在工作不努力了。)
She isn\'t used to living in the country. 她不习惯在乡下生活。
She used to live in the country. 她过去住在乡下。(暗指现在不住在乡下了。)
3)短语动词go without作“不吃”(not take),“在没有……的情况下勉强对付过去”(to live or continue in spite of lacking something)解。例如:
One can not go without food and water. 不吃不喝是不能生活的。
The main speaker was absent, but the conference was to go without him. 主要发言人没有到,但大会将勉强开下去。
It\'s very hard for me to see them go without food and clothing. 看着他们缺吃少穿,我很难过。
If there\'s no sugar, you\'ll have to go without it. 要是没有糖了,你就对付着吃吧。
5.The body is calling for a new supply of the drug nicotine. (=The body is in need of the drug nicotine. ) 他们的体内要求补充新的麻醉剂尼古丁。
短语动词call for作“要求(有……)”、“需要”解(ask for/need sth. or sb. )。例如:
The men sat down and called for some beer. 这几个男子坐下来,要了一些啤酒。
This trouble calls for quick action by the government. 这个困难需要政府迅速采取行动来解决。
The problem calls for very careful thought. 这个问题要求人们深思熟虑。
6.All they need is something to make them feel better at that moment. 他们所需要的是当时能使他们感到舒服的某个东西。
1)这是一个复合句。主句是All…is something to make them feel better at that moment. 其中插入了一个定语从句(that) they need,修饰先行词all。关系代词that因在从句中作宾语而被省略。
2)不定式短语to make them feel better at that moment在句中作定语,修饰something。其中的动词make作“使”、“令”解,常跟不带to的不定式复合结构(make sb. do sth. ),意为“使某人干某事”。例如:
The bad news made us feel sad. 这个坏消息使我们感到很忧伤。
Smoking makes the air smell bad. 抽烟使空气难闻。
The doctor made the patients stop smoking. 医生叫病人戒烟。
The boss made them work twelve hours a day. 老板要他们一天工作十二个小时。
注意,make sb. do sth. 结构在被动句中,不定式应带to,即Sb. is made to do sth. 。例如:
They were made to twelve hours a day.
The patients were made to stop smoking.
7.One thing that will stop them feeling bad is the drug nicotine, which is contained in cigarettes. 使他们消除难受感觉的一种东西,就是香烟中所含的那种麻醉剂尼古丁。
1)这是一个复合句。主句是One thing… is the drug nicotine, 其中带有一个定语从句that will stop them feeling bad, 修饰One thing; 句末的which is contained in cigarettes是一个非限制性定语从句,说明the drug nicotine。
2)句中stop是及物动词,作“阻止”、“阻拦”(prevent)解,常用在stop sb. doing sth. 的结构中,意思是“阻止某人干某事”、“使某人不做某事”。例如:
