三、重点句型

1．Not going to university is not a shame.

不上大学并不是一件丑事。

not going to university 是动名词短语的否定式，在句中作主语。注意非谓语动词的否定式：not to do ,not doing ,not having done等。

2．No matter how hard you try, working towards a career for which you are not suitable is not going to get your there.

无论你多么努力，只要去做一项你并不适合的工作是不会取得成功的。

matter常跟疑问词构成连词引导让步状语从句。如：no matter what, no matter which, no matter who, no matter when, no matter where, no matter how等。

3．They called this goal"Education for All".他们把这个目标称为"所有孩子的教育"。"call+宾语+宾语补足语"结构，意思是"说......是，认为......，称作......"。

①Call + O + n.

We called him Lao Wang.我们称他老王。

I call that a shame. 我认为那是一种耻辱。

②Call + O + adj.

I call that dishonest.我认为那不诚实。

③跟其他类型的复合宾语

④Call me what you like.你喜欢怎么称呼我都行。

［思维拓展］

①call v.可以表示"叫作，称呼""叫，叫唤""来访""（给某人）打电话"等。called常用来作后置定语，"叫作......"。
