◆term n. 1. 表示“學(xué)期”,通常為可數(shù)名詞。如: There are three terms in a school year. 一學(xué)年三個(gè)學(xué)期。 When does the spring term begin? 春季學(xué)期什么時(shí)候開始? 但是,有時(shí)也用作不可數(shù)名詞,其含義較泛,常與介詞 in, at, during 等連用,且不用冠詞。比較: During term, we have examinations. 我們學(xué)期當(dāng)中有考試。 During the term, we have examinations. 在這一學(xué)期當(dāng)中我們有考試。 Are there any exams at the end of term? 期末有考試嗎? Are there any end-of-term exams? 有期末考試嗎? There will be exams at the end of the term. 這個(gè)學(xué)期結(jié)束時(shí)將舉行考試。 另外,若把“學(xué)期”當(dāng)作上課的活動(dòng)來看待,其前通常也不用冠詞。如: Term is over. 放假了。 We began term on Tuesday last. 我們上周星期二開學(xué)。 2. 表示“條件”、“條款”等,總是用復(fù)數(shù)形式。如: We can’t accept the terms. 我們不能接受這些條件。 On no terms will I do such a thing. 我決不會(huì)做那樣的事。 注:以下短語也用復(fù)數(shù):come to terms(達(dá)成協(xié)議),come to terms with(甘心接受),make terms with(講條件),in terms of (以……觀點(diǎn),就……而言),on good (bad) terms with sb(與某人關(guān)系好(不好))等。 ◆than conj. & prep. 1. 在通常情況下,后接人稱代詞時(shí)可用主格也可用賓格,含義一樣。如: He is taller than I [me]. 他比我高。 He swims faster than she [her]. 他比她游泳游得快。 注:若人稱代詞之后跟有動(dòng)詞,則只能用主格。如: He is taller than I am. 他比我高。 He swims faster than she does. 他比她游泳游得快。 有時(shí)用主格或賓格會(huì)導(dǎo)致意思的變化。比較: I like you better than he (likes you). 我比他更喜歡你。 I like you better than (he likes) him. 我喜歡你勝過喜歡他。 2. 當(dāng)連接兩個(gè)非謂語動(dòng)詞時(shí),通常應(yīng)保持用一樣的形式。如: 他認(rèn)為他自己開車比讓我開車要更安全些。 正:He thinks it is safer to drive himself than (to) let me drive. 正:He thinks that driving himself is safer than letting me drive. 注:若不是連接兩個(gè)非謂語動(dòng)詞,但其后出現(xiàn)有動(dòng)詞,則該動(dòng)詞通常用動(dòng)名詞(雖然也可用不定式,但不如用動(dòng)名詞普通)。如: I cleaned my shoes, which was better than doing nothing. 我把鞋子擦干凈了,這比閑著什么都不干要好。 Nothing is more unpleasant than finding[to find] insects in your bath. 最使人不快的是在浴室里發(fā)現(xiàn)有蟲子。 3. 通常不與由 and 連接的兩個(gè)比較級(jí)連用。如: 誤:It’s colder and colder than ever. 誤:Computers are cheaper and cheaper than before. 誤:She is more and more interested in English than last year. 注:改正的辦法:要么去掉后面的 than 結(jié)構(gòu),要么 and和一個(gè)比較級(jí)。如說成:It is colder than ever. 或 It is colder and colder. 等。 |
