对定语从句中的谓语动词是含有介词的短语动词时,介词放在动词之后,不能拆开。如:This is the key which you're looking for.这正是你在找的钥匙。That is the baby whom you will look after.那是你将要照看的婴儿。

1)这是一个较为复杂的句子。“of Beijing, and of the whole country”是定语,修饰“the people”;不定式短语“to light the Olympic torch”作宾语,不定式短语“to welcome athletes and sports fans from all over the world.”用作目的状语。

2)prepare的用法 用作及物动词,意思是“准备;调制”。主要有以下用法:

A.prepare可眼双宾语,间接宾语后移时用 for引导。如:My mother is preparing us a meal.妈妈在为我们准备膳食。My mother is preparing a meal for us.

B.prepare通常跟for引起的短语,表示“为……做好准备”。如:What special food do people prepare for the Spring Festival?春节人们准备什么特殊食物?She was going to prepare for her trip.她在为旅行做准备。

C. be prepared to do sth.有时相当于(be willing/ready to do sth.),意思是“准备做…”;“愿意做……”。如.I am not prepared (ready) to listen to your excuses.我不打算听你的借。He was not prepared to accept your invitation.他不准备接受你的邀请。

D. prepare to do sth.准备做… 如:We are busy preparing to go on holidays.我们正在忙着准备休假。

be in preparation在准备中 in preparation for为……做准备 make preparations for为…微准备

13.effect的用法

1)effect可用作可数名词和不可数名词,意思是“效果;作用;影响”等。如:The medicine has no effect.这药无效。 The medicine is of no effect. Our efforts are beginning to have/take an effect.我们的努力开始见效了。

2)effect常用词组:have good/bad effects on对…产生好的(不好的)影响 have/take (an) effect on (upon)生效;开始发生作用of no effect(作表语)没有作用 without effect(作状语)没有作用

16. more than的用法种种

1)more than用于修饰形容词、名词或动词而不是数词时,可看作习语,意思是“不止,不只是;非常”等。

My parents were more than happy to hear of my success.父母听到我的成功非常高兴。

The Big Man Yao Ming has more than just size: he also has great skill and speed and he is a team player.身材魁梧的姚明并不只是体现在他的身高上,作为一名队员,他还具备相当的技术和速度。

“more十形容词十than十形容词”这种句式用于主语本身的两种品质的比较。

2)强调more之后的形容词,而不是由than之后的形容词。常译成“与其说……到不如说……”。

I'm more disappointed than angry.与其说我生气,到不如说我失望。

3)“more than one十单数名词”作主语时,其谓语动词用单数;“more十复数名词十than one”作主语时,谓语动词用复数。如: More than one student has seen the film.不止一个学生看过那部电影。 More students than one have seen the film.

注意:no more than与not more than后跟数词时的区别:no more than的意思是“仅仅;只有(only)”,有嫌少之意,带有说话者的主观色彩;not more than的意思是“不到…(某个数字)(less than)”,无嫌少之意,也不带有说话人的任何主观色彩。如: His whole school education added up to no more than one year.他所受的全部学校教育加起来仅仅只有~年。

His whole school education added up to not more than one year.他所受的全部学校教育加起来不超过一年。
