Ⅵ.和同桌讨论下列长难句，并尝试翻译成汉语

1．The teacher is a very enthusiastic woman called Ms.Shen.

句式分析：本句中的called Ms. Shen是过去分词短语作定语，相当于定语从句

who/that is called Ms. Shen。

翻译：老师是一位(被)称为沈老师的很热情的女士。

2．We're using a new textbook and Ms.Shen's method of teaching is nothing like that of the

teachers at my Junior High school.

句式分析：本句是由and连接的两个并列句。句中的that是代词，指代method of teaching，该短语的意思是"教学方法"。

翻译：我们使用的是一套新课本，沈老师的方法一点也不像我在初中时的老师们的教学方法。

3．I don't think I'll be bored in Ms.Shen's class!

句式分析：本句是否定的转移，即否定词not本来是否定宾语从句的，却否定了主句的谓语动词。否定的转移需要同时满足两个条件，即主语必须是第一人称，谓语动词必须是think, guess, suppose, imagine, believe 等。翻译这种句子是要把否定词复位。

　　翻译：我认为上沈老师的课我是不会感到厌倦的！

4．In other words，there are three times as many girls as boys.

句式分析：句中的短语in other words的意思是"换句话说/换言之"；three times as many girls as boys是倍数的表达法，在这种表达中倍数放在as...as...的前面。一倍用once，两倍用twice，三倍及以上用...times来表达。

　　翻译：换句话说，女生人数是男生的三倍。

Ⅶ.根据课文内容，尝试填空
