consider用法小结
consider是个很常用的动词,其意义不同,句型结构也不同。我们在学习中要特别注意。
(1)作“仔细考虑、深思熟虑”解,consider可作不及物动词或及物动词。
作及动词时,后可接名词、代词、动名词作宾语,不能接动词不定式,但可以接疑问词+不定式,相当于宾语从句。例如:

③跟疑问词 + to do sth.
He is considering how to get there in time.他正想怎么能及时赶到那儿。
④跟动名词
Who considers answering the question?谁正在考虑回答这个问题?
⑤为……着想
He always considers others before himself他常先为别人着想。

I discovered an unopened letter in the drawer.我在抽屉里发现了一封未拆的信。
crowd
crowd 可用作名词,表示“人群,群”;用作动词,表示“群集,拥挤”。如:

up,can’t help,imagine, leave off,mention,mind,miss,postp
-hone,practise,put off, resist,risk,can’t understand,und
-erstand,mean(意味着)
以上这些动词只能接动名词作宾语,不能接动词不定式作宾语。在介词之间,也只能用动名词作宾语。
Look forward to,object to ,be used to,in addition to,prefer…to,according to,stick to,etc.
insist表示“坚持要求(某人或主语本身)干某事。”;suggest 表示“建议”,以及order, demand, request, advise…,这些动词后的宾语从句常用虚拟语气形式。
即主语+(should)+动词原形+……,should常可省略。如:
He insisted that he(should)be sent to the poorest place to work。他坚持要求派他去最贫穷的地方工作。
instead of
instead of是短语介词,意思是“代替、而不”,后接名词、代词、动名词,有时接动词原形、不定式、形容词等。如:

instead of, instead, in place of, take the place of

I was ill so he went to attend the meeting instead .
注意:instead 可用于句首,表示“相反的”。如:
She never studies .Instead, she plays tennis all day .她从不学习。相反地,她整天打网球。
in place of很多时候可与instead of换用,但更强调“取代”之意。如:
He isn’t fit for the job, so I’ll do it in place of him.他胜任不了这项工作,我要代他做。
take the place of 是动词短词,在句中做谓语,如:
Tractors have taken the place of horses .拖拉机已经取代了马。
注意:instead of 后可接ing 形式,介词短语等。如:
 He came by bus instead of by train.他是乘汽车来的而不是乘火车。
He wanted to go to a film instead of staying at home.他想去看电影而不是呆在家里。
Isn’t it easier to stay in the same place ?留在原地难道不更舒服一些吗?

① Don’t you know my address?难道你不知道我的地址吗?
②Can’t you speak English?你难道不会说英语吗?
Isn’t it happy to live with us ?莫非和我们生活在一起不快乐?
It句型:主语+动词+it+形容词或名词+不定式短语

It is reported in the papers that the president of the U.S.A will arrive next Monday.据报纸报道美国总统下星期一抵达。
 
It is/was + adj. +  for/of sb.+ to do sth.某人做某事是…….
该句的It 为形式主语,真正的主语是后面的不定式(短语),for/of sb.是不定式的逻辑主语。能用于该句型的形容词常有:(1)important/ unimportant/ necessary/ possible/ impossible/ hard/ difficult/ easy/ useful/ usual/ unusual等。这些形容词的后面常用for来表示不定式的逻辑主语。
①It’s important(for you)to learn English well.(你们)学好英语很重要。
②It’s not easy for them to finish the work within three hours.对他们来说3小时内完成这项工作很难。
(2)right/ wrong/ clever/ foolish/ stupid/ nice/ kind/ rude/ polite/ impolite等。这些形容词的后面常用of 介词短语表示不定式的逻辑主语。

It’s time for sth . 该是做……的时候如:
It’s time for lunch .该吃午饭了。
It’s time (for sb) to do sth . 如:
It’s time (for us )to go to school.(我们)该上学了。
也可用如下说法:
The time has come for lunch.
The time has come for us to go to school.
注意:在It’s time ……句式中time 前可加 high, about 等修饰词,用法不变。其后跟that 从句时要用虚拟语气。如:
It’s (high)time we got up.
It’s about time (that) he knew the truth.
大约是他知道真相的时候了。(that可省略)
接不定式和动名词意义不同的词

keep也有“保存”的意思,与store比较,它并不强调特定的地点和场所,是由“保留”的意思引申而来的。如:

两个动词短语均可作“摆好桌子”解,但各自的确切含意不同:lay the table单纯指“摆桌子(准备吃饭)”,可用于早、中、晚三餐的任何一餐的场合,如:
I only laid the table.我只是摆好了餐桌(准备吃饭)。而“lay breakfast”则很明确地表示“摆桌子(吃早餐)”。如:

“情态动词may/might +完成时”的结构,有以下用法:
①may/might + have + 过去分词表示推测过去某动作“可能”发生了。如:
I can’t find my sunglasses, I may/might have left them at the
restaurant yesterday.
一般来说,may和might两者意思上没什么区别,只是may比might表示的可能性大些。如:

He might have heard of it from Jack.
在下列情况下,may和might 用法有区别:
句子的主要动词是现在时,间接引语中用may/might;
句子的主要动词是过去时,间接引语中只用might.如:
He says that she may/might have misunderstood him.
He said that she might have misunderstood him.
②might + have + 过去分词,表示对本来可能发生而实际并未发生的动作的感叹或遗憾含有“责备”、“抱怨”之意,而may + 完成时无此含义。如:

This medicine might have cured your cough
mean to do sth.
该结构意为“有意要干某事”。如:

表示推测过去某动作“一定发生了”。如:

necessary
  necessary主要用于两种句型:①It’s necessary for sb. to do
sth.某人有必要做某事②It’s necessary that…有必要……。注意:that从句中谓语用should + 动词原型,should 可省略。另外:不能使用sb. is necessary to do 结构,因为通常是“某事或做某事有必要”,而非人有必要。误:He is necessary to return home this afternoon. 正:It’s necessary for him to return home this afternoon.
[应用]汉译英
①他有必要改进自己的学习方法。
②有必要的话,我们可以多雇几个人收庄稼。
Key:

①He don’t live here any longer.
②Don’t worry about her. After all she isn’t a child any longer.
③I shall not wait any longer.
注意:no more(相当于not…any more)也是“不再”的意思。no longer是把现在的情况和过去对比,时态以现在时为多,有时也用过去时或将来时;no more 指今后如何,通常用将来时态。

②No less than 50 people attended the meeting.参加会议的人不少于50多个。(强调“多”)
Not less than 50 people attended the meeting.参加会议的有50多人。(说明客观事实)

you are not taller than I.你不如我高。
②This question is no more diffcult than that one.这个问题并水比那个(容易的)问题难。
This question is not more diffcult than that one.这个问题不如那个问题难。
no more than;not more than;no more...than;not more...than

I am no more than a teacher.我只是个教师而已。
There were no more than two hospitals in this city before liberation.解放前,这座城市里只有两家医院(表示很少)
not more than 后面接数词时,表示“不超过、最多”的意思。用来说明情况,并含有“少”之意,也不带有说话者的主观色彩。如:

“no more+形容词(副词)原级+than”意为“两者同样不”,前面和后面同时否定,带有感情色彩。如:

The door was open, and the sound came from the kitchen.门开着,声音是从厨房传来的。
noise泛指一切在的、杂乱的或令人讨厌的杂声和吵闹声,既指单一的刺耳、尖锐、磨擦的声响,也可指混合在一起不协调的声响,不论是由人或物所发出的,可以是可数的,也可以是不可数的。如:

(3)强调句型

It was not until the next day that I knew the truth of it.
(4)注意事项
①在not…until句型中,主句中的动词均为短暂性动词,如leave,start等。而在until的肯定句型中,主句的谓语动词一定要用延续性动词,因为until作为连词和介词意为up to the time when; up to“直到……时”。如:
②until只连接表示时间的短语和从句,不能用于地点和数量。如:
We walked until the edge of the forest.(误)
Our classroom can hold until fifty students.(误)
                     from time to time
now and again means  now and then       时而
sometimes
once in a while
at times
now that; due to; because of; owing to; since; as
now that作“既然”讲时,相当于since。now that中的that 可省去。如:Now(that)you are well again, you can travel, 你既然恢复了健康,就能够旅行了。

owing to“由于、因为”,常在现代英语中与because of, due to换用。如:
Owing to unfavourable weather, I was unable to carry on with it.由于天气不好,我不能把它进行下去。
nowhere放在句首,该句应使用倒装结构。
Nowhere is there a place for him to settle down.
类似的副词还有hardly scarcely, no sooner,seldom, never, little等。
Of + n.(抽象句词)相当于该名词相应的形容词,在句中可用作表语或补语。

He is on a visit to America.他正在美国访问。
