There are mice in Mrs. Lee's kitchen! There's a mouse on the kitchen table. There's a mouse behind the stove. There are mice next to the refrigerator, under the sink and inside the cupboard!
Why isn't Mrs. Lee's cat catching the mice? Because it's in a tree. It's staring at Rover with fear and shaking like a leaf.
李太太的厨房里有老鼠,厨房桌上有一只。炉子后面有一只。冰箱边,洗碗槽下,还有橱柜里面都有老鼠!

III. Grammar Points 语法重点
本课介绍介词与物体的关系,并介绍特殊问句的造句法。
-
注意下列介词与物体的关系:
inside + 物体 在该物体之内
=in + 物体
behind + 物体 在该物体的后面
under + 物体 在该物体下方
next to + 物体 紧邻于该物体
例:There is a pen inside/in the box.
(盒子里有枝笔。)
There is a dog behind the door.
(门后有只狗。)
He is standing under an umbrella.
(他正站在雨伞下。)
Mary is sitting next to the window.
(玛丽正坐在窗边。) -
There are mice in Mrs. Lee's kitchen!
(李太太的厨房里有老鼠!)
我们再复习一下了There is/There are(有)与have/has(有)的用法。我们可用中文的句子清楚了解这些用法。凡以人或动物作主语时,就套用have或has作动词;凡以场所起首的句子,英文句首就应置 There is/There are 。
例:中文:我(人)有只手表。
英文: I have a watch.
中文:这只猫(动物)有一根长尾巴。
中文:客厅里(场所)有一个电冰箱。
英文: There is a refrigerator in the living room.
中文:书桌上(场所)有一本书和两枝铅笔。
英文: There are a book and two pencils on the desk. -
Why isn't Mrs. Lee's cat catching the mice?
(李太太的猫为何不在抓这些老鼠昵?)
本句是特殊问句。特殊问句就是用疑问副词why(为什么)、when(何时)、how(如何)、where(何处)或疑问代词who(谁,作主语)·whom(谁,作宾语)、what(什么)、which(哪个)等起首的问句。由于特殊问句需要广泛的篇幅方能详细说明,我们将在往后的课文中逐步介绍。这里就疑问副词(why、when、how、where)形成的问句大略介绍如下,以使读者对问句的造句有初步的了解:
a. 疑问词一定置于问句句首。
b. 问句要采用倒装句。
- 原句有be动词时,该be动词要与主语倒装。
例:中文:他为什么生气呢?
英文: why is angry? ( X )
→ Why is he angry? ( O )
中文:你为什么在哭呢?
英文: You why are crying? ( X )
→ Why are you crying? ( O )
中文:他为什么不在做功课呢?
英文: He why isn't doing his homework?( X )
→ Why is not he doing his homework?( X )
→ Why isn't he doing his homework? ( O )
→ Why is he not doing his homework? ( O ) - 原句有助动词如can(能够)、will(将要)、
may(可以)等时,该助动词要与主语倒装。
例:中文:你何时会来昵?
英文:You when will come? ( X )
→ when will you come? ( O )
中文:你如何做这件事呢?
英文: You how can do it? ( X )
→ How can you do it? ( O ) - 原句有一般动词时,一般动词与主语无法倒装,须按主语的人称在疑问词之后置do或does,再将动词改为动词原形。
例:中文:他住在什么地方?
英文: He lives where? ( X )
Where he lives? ( X )
→ Where does he live? ( O )
中文:他们为什么喜欢音乐?
英文: They why like music? ( X )
→ Why do they like music? ( O )
- It's staring at Rover with fear.
=lt's staring at Rover fearfully.
(它正惊恐地盯着来福。)
上列第一句中with fear这个介词短语作副词用,等于第二句中副词fearfully ['fiəfuli],用以修饰已成现在进行时短语动词的is staring at。
IV. Substitution 替换
- There is a mouse on the kitchen table.
There is a cat between the refrigerator and the stove.
There are two cats to the right of the trash can.
(厨房桌上有一只老鼠。)
(电冰箱和炉子之间有一只猫。)
(垃圾箱右方有两只猫。) - Why isn't Mrs. Lee's cat catching the mice?
Why isn't she studying?
Why aren't you cleaning your room?
(李太太的猫为何不在抓这些老鼠呢?)
(她为什么设在看书呢?)
(你为什么不在打扫你的房间呢?)
