英语简单学第53课 Full of mistakes

THE BOSS：Where's Sandra, Bob?I want her.
BOB: Do you want to speak to her?
THE BOSS：Yes, I do.I want her to come to my office. Tell her to come at once.
SANDRA: Did you want to see me?
THE BOSS：Ah, yes, Sandra. How do you spell"intelligent'? Can you tell me?
SANDRA: I-N-T-E-L-L-I-G-E-N-T.
THE BOSS：That's right.
You've typed it with only one 'L'. This letter's full of mistakes. I want you to type it again.
SANDRA: Yes, I'll do that. I'm sorry about that.
THE BOSS：And here's a little present for you.
SANDRA: What's it?
THE BOSS：It's a dictionary. I hope it'll help you.

1. How do you spell…？……怎样拼写？
   这是询问某个单词或某人的姓名如何拼写时常用的句型。

2. You've typed it with only one‘L’．但你只打了 1个“L”。
   句中it指intelligent一词。这里的with意即“用”。

3. And here's a little present for you．这里有一件小礼物送你。
   这是一个倒装句。由here引导、谓语为be的句子通常用倒装语序。这里and是表示承上启下，使上下文紧密联系，当“于是”、“因此”讲。

4. 动词不定式
   在英语中，当一个动词被另一个动词紧跟时，它们之间必须加不定式符号（to）。不定式符号后面的动词只能是原形，而不能是过去式或分词形式。
   （1）不定式作动词的宾语（动词+to…）：
   He wants to buy a car.
   他想买辆车。
   He hopes to pass the French exam.
   他希望自己能通过法语考试。
   I want to leave.
   我想离开。
   （2）有许多动词可以带名词／代词宾语（通常是人称代词宾格），后面再跟不定式（动词+名词／宾格代词+to…）：
   I want you to carry it.
   我想让你扛着它。
   He wants them to listen to it.
   他想让他们听那个。
   Tell him to move it.
   让他搬它。
   （3）不定式的否定形式是在 to 之前加 not：
   He decided not to buy the house.
   他决定不买这幢房子。
   He told me not to close the window.
   他让我不要把窗户关了。
   Tell him not to move it.
   告诉他不要搬动它。
