17、 amount 许多，无数”。 e.g. He made his millions on car sales. 他通过汽车买卖赚了许许多多的钱。注意：在表示具体数字时，million的复数形式为原形，如3 million, several million；但是millions of用来表达一个笼统的数目，意思是“千百万的”。用法相同的还有 hundreds of，thousands of。 The money increases for each question until, if the contestant has answered all the other questions cor

18、rectly, the prize for the final question is one million pounds. 每答对一道题，奖金就会增加，如果参赛者正确回答前面所有的问题，那么最后一题的奖金就会升至100万英镑。在这个句子中，until引导时间状语从句，这个状语从句比较复杂，还含有一个if引导的条件状语从句。e.g. I couldnt sew until I was six. 我直到六岁才会用针缝东西。Notes of Para. 2personality: n.

22、ting often, not fluently 结结巴巴地，断断续续地，犹豫不决地e.g. (1) Shyness made the girl speak haltingly. 由于害羞那姑娘说话结结巴巴的。(2) He began to speak haltingly when he was nervous. 他一紧张就开始结巴。haltingly的词根是动词halt，意为“to stop moving; to make something stop moving 停住，停止”。e.g. (1) The soldiers halted for a rest. 士兵们停下来休息。(2) He

23、 halted the car at the red traffic lights. 他在红灯时停住了汽车。halt 作名词时，意为“a stop or pause 停住，停止”。e.g. The car came to a halt just in time to prevent an accident. 汽车及时停下，避免了一场车祸。Question About Para. 3 (4) What is an “Anthony Eden”?

26、词时，重音在后面的音节上，作名词时，在第一个音节上。phase: n.

27、r facts? 你肯定你说的都是事实吗？(2) He is pretty sure of the answer. 他对这个答案非常肯定。must: 在句中并不是表示“必须”的意思，must + have +过去分词表示对过去的推测，意思是“一定，肯定”。参看本册第一单元第一篇文章的有关注释。这里再举两个例子：e.g. (1) You must be in the first grade. 你一定是一年级的学生。(2) He must have been there before. 他以前一定去过那里了。 例(1)是对目前状况的推测，例(2)则是对过去状况的推测。该结构用于对过去的肯定推测，否

28、定推测需用cant/couldnt + have + 过去分词。e.g. They couldnt have gone to England. 他们不可能去了英国。 To many in the audience that night, it seemed as if he kept changing his mind and frequently repeated an answer as if waiting for a signal. 在当晚的很多观众看来，他似乎一直在改变主意，并频频重复一个答案，好像在等暗示一样。本句中出现了两个as if，但它们的句法功能不一样。前一个as if引导

29、名词性从句，作表语；后一个as if引导的是一个省略的方式状语从句，相当于as if he was waiting for a signal。另外，如果as if/as though引导的从句与主句有相同的主语，从句主语可以省略，本句就是如此，waiting的逻辑主语就是主句的主语。e.g. She stood up as if to say something. 她站起来，好像要说什么似的。as if: 连词，意为“好像，似乎”。 e.g. (1) It looks as if it is going to rain. 看上去好像要下雨了。(2) It seemed as if they w

30、ere brothers. 他们看起来像兄弟。(3) He looked very happy, as if he had discovered a gold mountain. 他看上去很高兴，好像发现了一座金山一样。 as if引导的从句的谓语动词可以是陈述语气，也可以是虚拟语气。例(1)中as if引导的从句谓语动词是陈述语气，例(2)和例(3)则是虚拟语气。例(1)表示下雨的可能性还是有（尽管微乎其微），所以用陈述语气，而例(2)则表示不可能的事实，例(3)表示没有发生的事。frequently: ad. often 经常，频繁地e.g. (1) I frequently visit

31、that library. 我经常去那个图书馆。(2) He frequently makes the same mistake. 他常常犯同一个错误。frequently去掉-ly成为形容词，意为“happening or doing sth. often 时常发生的，频繁的”。e.g. (1) I enjoy his frequent visits. 我喜欢他经常来访。(2) He is a frequent caller of our house. 他是我家的常客。大部分形容词加-ly可构成副词。但friendly, deadly, lovely, lonely, likely, lively, ugly, brotherly等仍为形容词。signal: n. C a sign, movement or sound that carries a message 信号，暗号e.g. (1) A red light is usually a
