LESSON 91 Kayaking
If you are a little adventurous, like water sports, and enjoy being around nature, then kayaking is definitely for you. Floating, drifting and speeding down rivers is all part of kayaking. What better way is there to spend a boiling hot summer day? And if you think it is dangerous, you're dead wrong. It's so safe, you don't even need to know how to swim! Everyone wears a life jacket while kayaking. So, you see, it's not a sport for the brave only.
Kayaking may look difficult but it's really very easy. Sea kayaking can be learned in 5 minutes! However, it takes about two days to learn river kayaking. And for an estimated US$1, 500, you'll be able to own all the proper equipment, including the kayak. It's not cheap, but good things seldom are.
课程笔记① 语法部分 GRAMMER POINT
1. What better way is there to spend a boiling hot summer holiday?（还有什么比这样度过炎炎夏日更好的方法呢）
And if you think it is dangerous, you are dead wrong.（如果你认为这很危险的话，那你就大错特错了。）
boiling是boil的现在分词，形容词：沸腾的，在此做副词，修饰hot，表示“极其地”。类似地，dead做形容词时意思为“已死的”，在课文中的这句中做副词，表示“全然地，完全地”意思，修饰形容词wrong。
注意：
a. 少数现在分词做副词有very的意味，可以修饰后面的形容词
例：The coffee is boiling hot.
副词 形容词
（这咖啡很烫。）
It was freezing cold yesterday.
biting
副词 形容词
（昨天天气非常冷）
*freezing cold 冷得要把人冻僵了
biting cold 冷得全身刺痛似被咬的样子
Dad was hopping mad at Mom for playing Mahjong all day long.
副词 形容词
（老爸因为老妈整天打*而非常生气。）
hopping adv. 非常（生气）地
动词是hop，指跳跃，hopping mad可以理解为“气得跳脚”
b.少数形容词也有副词的功能，修饰其后的形容词：
例：He is dead beat.
tired
（他累毙了。）
Jogging for an hour every morning is awful tiring.
副词 形容词
（每天早晨慢跑一小时非常累人。）
*awful是副词表“非常”，当形容词讲是“差劲的”
如：His writing is awful
What he said is plain wrong
副词 形容词
（他说的话绝对是错误的。）
*plain adv. 绝对地，仅，只
