第三部分:课程

1.PERCENTAGES百分数


谈到百分数,英语说:percent主要用于以下两种结构:
a)x per cent of (something).
Eighty per cent of Australia's population lives on the coast.
(诚比较:Four-fifths of Australia's population lives on the coast.)
Twenty per cent of my time is spent travelling.
b)A x%discount/profit/loss
You can get n 20% discount on this air fare.
(这批货物/这张机票可以给你打八折。)
The company made a lot 10% profit/loss last year.
(这家公司去年有百分之十的利润/亏损。)
有些习语里也用百分数。例如:
I don't feel l00%.
I'm not l00% sure.
在广播里,你可以听到另外一些日常会话里使用百分数的例子,并且练习拿分数与百分数进行换算。例如:
Three quarters is 75% (seventy-five percent).
A third is 33 1/3%(thirty-three and a third percent).
2.OTHER EXPRESSIONS OF QUANTITY其他表示数量的词语
There'sa lot oftime for sight-seeing.
There'slots oftime for sight-seeing.
There'splenty oftime for sight-seeing.
I ate too much chicken.
You ate too many peanuts.
以上斜体字都是常用的数量词语,按所表示的数量多少依次排列。
注意:
Too much后面跟不可数名词。例如:
There's TOO MUCH sugar in the milk.
Too many后面跟可数名词。例如:
There were TOO MANY people at the party.
有一个谚语是这样说的:
Too many cooks spod the broth.
字面上的意思是:厨师太多,好汤也要做坏。
实际上的意思是:人多手杂,反而坏事。
Enough若与名词连用,放在名词前面;着与形容词或副词连用,则放在后面。例如:
They've got ENOUGH money to buy a car.
She's old ENOUGH to go to school.
If we walk quickly ENOUGH we can catch the bus.
在广播里还有下面两个例子:
I don't think we're fit enough to do a bicycle tour.
Is he clever enough to pass his exams?
3. SOME USES OF THE-ING FORM OF THE VERB动词- ING形式的某些用法
a)许多动词如果后面还接动词,后面这个动词就要用-ING形式。我们已经碰到过一些例子。如:
Would you mind tumING the music down?
左这一讲里,你还会听到在spend time后面用动词的.ing形式:
On this tour you spend more time travetIING than on most tours.
Twenty per cent of my time is spent traveIIING.
b)介词后面的动词要用-ING形式。我们已经碰到的例子有:
How about comING to dinner?
I was thinking of havING an outside reception.
Thanks for inoitING us.
你在广播里还可以听到:
This tour gives you a lot of time for sightseeING.
c)请注意这个新的用法:
WORTH+ VERB+-ING.等等
广播里有这样一个例子:
This tour has a 20% discount. It's worth considerING.
