Task 2: 典句探究

1. Watching a family of chimps wake up is our first activity of the day. (P2)

　　解析： 动名词作主语时，谓语动词用单数，句子有两种形式：

① 动名词直接置于句首主语的位置上。如：

　　Playing tricks on others is something we should never do.

　②用it作形式主语，把真正的主语--动名词结构移置句尾。

It is useless/worth/no good/no use/no sense doing sth.等，如：

1) It is useless trying to argue with Shylock.

2) It' s no sense arguing with her.

　　　活用： 用括号内所给词的适当形式填空：

1) Talking _______ (mend) no holes.

2) _______ (walk) is a good form of exercise for both young and old.

3) Is it any good _______ (try) to explain?

Summary：_____________________________________________________

2. This means going back to the place where we left the family sleeping in a tree the night before. (P2)

解析与拓展：

mean doing 意味着 mean to do 计划打算做某事

be meant for 打算作......用 be meant to do 应该做某事；意在做某事

had meant/intended/planned to do meant/intended/planned to have done本打算做某事

mean no harm 没有恶意

　活用：汉译英：

　1）我们打算明天去拜访你。

_____________________________________________________________.

2）这些房间是打算给孩子们用的。

3）成功意味着努力的工作。
