3.power, strength 与force的区别:
(1)power含义最广,指政治力量或能力。
例如:
Some animals have the power to see in the dark.
有些动物具有在黑暗中能看见东西的本领。
His powers are failing. 他的体力在衰退。
Power should be used wisely. 应明智运用权力。
(2)strength指某人或者某物所具有的内在力量,可以指体力、力气。
例如:
I haven't the strength to lift this table. 我没有力气抬这张桌子。
The boy gathered his strength to stand up. 那个男孩聚集力量站了起来。
3)force也可以指物质或者精神力量,多指为做某事而使用的力量,也可以指武力。
例如:
the force of the explosion:爆炸力
You must use force to open that bottle. 你必须用力打开那个瓶子。
The thief took the money from the old man by force. 小偷用暴力夺走了老人的钱。
the forces of evil:邪恶势力
三、重点句型
1.People have been playing the blues for many years, but the music has kept many of its characteristics.
本句是一个并列句,第一个分句用的是现在完成进行时,强调动作的持续进行;第二个分句用的是现在完成时,表示现在的结果。在使用时要注意这两个时态表示的重点。
2.Pop music makes people feel easy and forget about the real world; rock music makes people think about the world and how to make their life better.
这两个并列的分句都使用了动词make引导复合宾语结构,宾语补足语都是省略了to的动词不定式。
3.It's a world of magic and wonders, a world where anything can happen.
此句中的where引导一个定语从句。Where引导定语从句与where引导地点状语从句的标记就是其前面有没有一个表示地点的名词。有名词的,往往是定语从句,没有名词的,往往是一个地点状语从句。
