1.On Monday, Ms. Liu asked us to make crossword puzzles based on facts about our heroes.
意为:星期一,刘老师要求我们根据我们心目中的英雄(的实际情况),来设计一个纵横字谜游戏。
讲解:ask sb. to do sth."要求某人做某人",如:
Mum asks me to eat more vegetables.
妈妈要求我多吃蔬菜。
based on…“基于……”“以……为基础”,如:
Theory must be based on practice.
理论必须以实践为基础。
2.But whom should my puzzle be about?
意为:可是我的字谜应该是关于谁呢?
辨析:whom与who。两者都作“谁”讲,who可作主语,也可作宾语,而whom只能做宾语。
如:
Who broke the glass?
谁摔坏了杯子?
(这里who作主语,不可换为whom)
如课文这一句:
But whom should my puzzle be about?
可是我的字谜应该是关于谁呢?
(这里whom作介词about的宾语,也可换为who)
但是,如果介词about前移,whom就不能换为who了,如下:
But about whom should my puzzle be?
再如:
这本书是为谁写的?
正:Who is this book written for?
正:Whom is the book written for?
正:For whom is the book written?
误:For who is the book written?
3.My hero wouldn't be anybody famous.
意为:我(心目中的)英雄不会是什么名人。
讲解:anybody"某人"“任何人”,是一个不定代词;在英语中,形容词修饰不定代词时,要放在不定代词的后面,如:
There is something interesting in that book.
那本书里有一些有趣的东西。
4.It would be somebody who I like very much.
意为:它会是我非常喜欢的某个人。
讲解:who I like very much是一个定语从句,用来修饰说明先行词somebody。我们知道,当先行词是人时,定语从句的关系代词可用who,也可用that,但是当先行词是somebody时,宜用关系代词who。
5.I said that this person was the same age as them.
意为:我说这个人和他们年龄相同。
讲解:the same age as…“和……年龄相同”“和……年龄一样大”,相当于as old as…。
类似的还有:
the same colour as…“和……颜色相同”
the same size as…“和……大小相同”
