Question:上节课对quite, fairly和pretty 有了进一步的了解,那么rather 呢? 还有so, such ? Answer:今天我们继续来学习这些表示程度的副词。我们学习副词(VIII),今天学习程度副词: quite, fairly, pretty, rather ,so, such (2) 程度副词: rather ,so, such I.Rather Reading : Now the forecast for tomorrow. It’ll be rather cold and wet, I’m afraid, in the north. But the weather will be rather better in the south. In fact, it’ll be rather a warm day for the time of year, the kind of day I rather like, with temperature reaching 14º. 1. rather常使形容词带有否定的意义。 It’s rather warm today. (=too warm , not pleasant) It’s quite warm today. (=pleasantly warm) 2. 形容词原级表惊讶时, 可用rather. It’ll be rather a warm day for the time of the year. (=This is surprising. It’s not normally warm at this time of year) 3. 形容词比较级可用rather修饰(不是 quite, fairly或 pretty)。 The weather will be rather better in the south. 4 rather可以放在a/an之前或之后。 It’ll be rather a warm day for the time of year. 或It’ll be a rather warm day for the time of year. 5. rather可以与下列动词连用: enjoy, hope, like, think,.意思是 “moderately” “to some degree”('适度的’,'到某种程度’)。 The kind of day I rather like. 小练习I 可以在下列句中加rather吗? 1 The weather tomorrow will be … good. 2 It … rains in the north of England. 3 It’s been .. a wet month. II..So and such Reading: And finally the forecast for Friday. It won’t be such a cold day in the north, and it won’t be so wet. People up there will be glad to hear this recently. In fact on the north west coast they’ve had such a lot of rain that many houses have been flooded. It’s rained for so long in Barrow that some old people haven’t left their homes for days. But the rain hasn’t been such a problem in other parts of the region. 1.such 位于名词(可数或不可数)或形容词+名词之前,such强调该形容词或形容词+名词。 2.Such用在a lot of之前(不在 many或 much之前). They’ve had such a lot of rain. 3. so位于形容词前或副词前。 It won’t be so wet. (形容词) It rained for so long. (副词) 4.当谈论结果时,用 so和 such +that从句 It’s rained for so long (that) some people haven’t left their homes. They’ve had such a lot of rain (that) many houses have been flooded. 注意:That常可以省略。. 5. so(不是 such)可以与 many 或 much连用.(参阅下一节). 检查练习II 用so 或 such填空: 1 The north of England hasn’t had .. a lot of rain for months. 2 The wind was … strong that trees were blown down. 3 In the east of England they haven’t had … much rain. 上期答案: I.1 quite/fairly/pretty 2 quite 3 fairly/pretty II.1 quite 2 quite quite |
