8.I didn't pretend to understand what he said.
我假裝沒懂他說的話。
[析]常用動詞pretend,happen的否定形式有兩種:既可以否定pretend,也可以否定其后的不定式,其意義不變。
I didn't happen to be there.=I happened not to be there.我恰巧不在那兒。
They didn't pretend to see me when I went by.=They pretended not to see me when I went by.當我經(jīng)過的時候,他們假裝沒有看見我。

[析]nice and,good and都表示“很,非常,完全”的意思。and前的形容詞實質(zhì)上起副詞作用,修飾后邊的形容詞,表示強調(diào)。
I am good and ready.我都準備好了。
It is good and cold in the morning.早上非常冷。
句式句型
[專項訓練]:
7.The mountain is not valuable because it is high.

[析]含有原因狀語從句的主從復合句,形式上雖然否定主句的謂語,然而意義上則是否定該原因狀語,譯為“并不因為……而……”。

Galileo was not ready to accept it just because Aristotle had said so.伽利略并不只是因為亞里斯多德說過某事如何如何,就輕易相信它。
6.All that glitters is not gold.
閃光的東西不一定都是金子。
[析]在句中當不定代詞all,both,every及 every的復合詞,副詞always,often,entirely與 not一起使用時,表示部分否定,意思是“并非都是”,“不是每個人都”等。
I don't remember all these formulas.這些公式我并非全都記得。
Every man cannot do it.并非每個人都能做這個。
I don't entirely agree with you.我并不完全同意你的看法。
注意:當all,both,every等詞和帶im-,in-,un-,dis-等表示否定意義的前綴的詞連用時,表示全部否定的意義。
All your answers are incorrect.你所有的答案都不正確。
表示全部否定時,我們常使用no,not,nobody,nothing,never,nowhere,neither等詞。

5.It's three years since he was a teacher.
他不當教師已經(jīng)三年了。
[析]在“It is some time since +主語+謂語+其它成分!边@一結(jié)構中,如果從句謂語動詞是非延續(xù)性動詞,那么時間的計算就從該動作的發(fā)生開始算起。
It‘s three years since he joined the army.他參軍已經(jīng)三年了。
如果從句謂語動詞是延續(xù)性動詞,時間就要從該動作的結(jié)束算起。
It's many years since they lived here.他們不在這兒住已經(jīng)好多年了。
3.It's a wise man that never makes mistakes.
無論多么聰明的人,也難免犯錯誤。
[析]“It is a +形容詞+名詞+that...”結(jié)構是一個特殊的習慣用法,意思是“無論怎樣的……也不……”。真正的句子意思與字面意思相反,它具有含蓄的讓步意味,切不可望文生義、譯成強調(diào)句型。
It's a long lane that has no turning.無論怎樣長的巷子也有轉(zhuǎn)彎處。(引申意義為:耐心等待終會時來運轉(zhuǎn)。)
It's a good horse that never stumbles.再好的馬也有失前蹄的時候。(引申意義為:金無足赤,人無完人。)
4?I'm too anxious to know the result.
我極想知道結(jié)果。
[析]英語中“too...to...”結(jié)構表示“太……以致不”的意思。例如:The star is too small to see.但是,如果too后形容詞表示主語的狀態(tài)、心理活動、情感態(tài)度(常見的有glad,easy,ready,anxious,eager, willing,happy等),并與其后的不定式構成固定搭配,這時too含有肯定意義,表示“very,extremely”的意思。
They are too anxious to leave.他們急于離去。
Mr.Smith was too eager to see her.史密斯先生極想見到她。
2.One can't be too honest.
人越老實越好。
[析]句中“cannot...too...”意為“無論怎樣……也不過分”或“越……越好”。該句型中的not可以換成 hardly,never或scarcely;too可以換成 over或enough等,意思不變。
You cannot be too careful.You cannot be over careful.=Y(jié)ou cannot be careful enough.你越仔細越好。
A man can never have too many friends.朋友越多越好。
1.This is the last thing I would ever want to do.
這是我最不愿做的一件事情。
[析]“the last +to do;the last +定語從句”中的last的意思為“l(fā)east willing/likely”,譯為“最不愿意;最不可能”。
