上几期学习了英语语法:短语at the cost of, at the thought of的用法、短语at will, beside the point的用法、短语by comparison with, by means of的用法、短语by the side of, due to的用法、短语except, for convenience的用法、短语from the beginning, for the sake of的用法 关注微博:@读外刊学英语 53. in a dilemma进退两难 用法:in a dilemma常与caught连用,表示“陷入进退两难的境地”。 例句:He was caught in a dilemma by a hesitantattitude. 犹豫不决的态度使他陷入了进退两难的境地。 语法结构分析:He是主语, was caught是谓语(被动时态,一般过去时), in a dilemma是状语, by a hesitant attitude是状语。 54. in a row一个接一个,接连 用法:in a row也可以表示“成一行”,在句中经常用作方式状语。 例句:A flock of ducks jumped into the lake in a row. 一群鸭子接连跳进了湖里。 55. in a sense从某种意义上说 用法:in a sense在句中经常用作插入语,用逗号与后面内容隔开。 例句:In a sense, a woman’s ability to work isno worse than a man’s. 从某种意义上说,女人的工作能力并不比男人差。 语法点:woman’s表示“女人的”,名词所有格是在名词后直接加上’s,如果该句词是以s结尾,可以直接加’。 56. in a way在某种程度上 用法:in a way在句中作插入语时,常放在句中,有时也放在句首。 例句:In a way, it was his fault for giving way to his wife every time. 在某种程度上,每次都对妻子让步是他的错。 例句:Most people’s ideas aren’t in accord with the company’s requirements. |
