Topic 2 I like country music (II)
Section C
1. It is one of the most famous rock bands in the world.
它是世界上最著名的摇滚乐队之一。
one of ... 可数名词的复数形式，意为“……之一”
the most famous 最著名的（最高级）
如：长江是世界上最长的河流之一。
The Changjiang River is one of the longest rivers in the world.
他是学校里最受欢迎的老师之一。
He is one of the most popular teachers in the school.
2. A 14-year-old high school student, Larry Mullen, looked for some musicians.
一个14岁的中学生拉里木伦找了一些音乐家。
14-year-old作定语，修饰student，这种用连字符号形式的定语，每个单词要用单数。
如：three-thousand-metre road 三千米长的公路
four-metre-deep river 4米深的河
two-metre-tall man 两米高的男人
look for 寻找
find 找到
look for 寻找，强调找的动作。如：
I am looking for my pen. I don’t know where it is.
我正在寻找我的钢笔。我不知道它在哪里。
find 找到，强调找的结果。
I can’t find my pen, so I want to buy one.
我不能找到我的钢笔，所以我想要买一支。
3. He found 3 boys and they set up a band.
他找到了3个男孩并且组建了一支乐队。
set up build
两者都有“建立”的意思，有时可以互换，但set up侧重于组建一个组织，而build多指具体建筑，制作。如：
build a school 盖一所学校
set up a school 建立一所学校
Mao Zedong set up the PLA. 毛泽东创建了中国人民解放军。
4. They continue making music. 他们继续创作音乐。
continue后接不定式或动名词，其意不变，继续做某事。
go on to do sth. 继续做与原来不同的事
go on doing sth. 继续做原来的同一件事
如：他继续弹钢琴。
He continued to play the piano. = He continued playing the piano.
他继续又讲了一个故事。
He went on to tell a story.
我妈妈继续做饭菜。
My mother went on cooking.
5. Where was she born? 她出生在哪里？
born是bear的过去分词
（1）be born in + 地点 出生在某地
I was born in Changsha. 我出生于长沙。
（2）be born in + 时间（不含日的时间） 在……时间出生
I was born in 1981. 我出生在1981年。
He was born in April. 他出生于4月。
（3）be born on + 时间（具体时间，带有日期） 在……时间出生
I was born on April 2nd. 我出生于4月2日。
（注意：“出生”发生在过去，所以be动词用过去式。）
6. Which song of Lily’s do you like best? 你最喜欢Lily的哪首歌曲？
（1）which song of Lily’s 莉莉的哪首歌曲
双重所有格 of + ’s结构
如：a friend of my mother’s = my mother’s friend 我母亲的一个朋友
a play of John’s = John’s play 约翰的戏剧
（2）best为well的最高级
like best 表示最喜欢……，如：
I love my mother best. 我最喜欢我妈妈。
like ... best 常和形容词favorite进行句型互换。
如上句可换成：What is your favorite song of Lily’s?
7. So it is great fun to him. 对于他来说，它有很大的乐趣。
so是一个连词，在这里承上启下的作用。可以不译。it指代上文出现的事。fun在这里作形容词讲，意思是有趣的。
“to”为介词，后加人表示“对于某人来说”。
如：English is important to us.
英语对我们来说很重要。
8. He thinks it sounds wonderful. 他认为它（爵士乐）听起来很精彩。
（1）think后加一个肯定句，表示某人对某事的评价，要想表达一个否定意思时，必须否定think。如：
He thinks the movie is interesting.
他认为这部电影有趣。
He doesn’t think the movie is interesting.
他认为这部电影没有趣。
（2）sound为一个系动词，后加形容词表示听起来……
类似的词还有：smell，look，taste，feel等。
拓展：系动词本身有词义，但不能单独作谓语，后面必须跟表语构成系表结构，说明主语的状态、性质、特征等。
（这些我们在前面的Unit 1已详细讲过，现在我们再重新复习一下。）
（1）状态系动词（be）用来表示主语状态、性质、特征。
如：I’m a student. 我是一名学生。
She is very beautiful. 她很漂亮。
（2）持续系动词，用来表示主语继续或保持一种状态或态度。
主要有keep，stay，remain等。
Keep healthy. 保持健康。
Stay happy. 保持快乐。
（3）表像系动词，用来表示看起来像……，主要有look，seem等。
He looks very young. 他看起来很年轻。
（4）感官系动词，主要有feel（感觉），smell（闻起来），sound （听起来），taste（尝起来）。
如：He feels very happy. 他感觉非常开心。
It tastes delicious. 它尝起来很好吃。
（5）变化系动词：表示主语变成什么样，有become（变得），grow（变得），turn（变得），get（变得）。
The weather gets warmer and warmer.
The leaves turn green. 树叶变绿了。
Grammar Focus:
be going to ...
1. be going to是一般将来时的一种表达方法。它表示：
（1）现在打算在最近或将来要做某事，往往是事先考虑好的。
I’m going to see my grandma next week.
我将在下星期去见我的奶奶。
（2）说话人根据已有的迹象认为可能要发生某事。
Look at the clouds. It’s going to rain.
2. be going to后既可加动词原形，表示将要做某事，又可加地点名词，表示将要去某地。如：
He is going to buy a present for his mother.
他将去给他妈妈买一件礼物。
He is going to the zoo next Sunday.
他下周日将去动物园。
3. be going to 句式的基本结构
肯定句：主 + be going to ...
如：He is going to swim tomorrow.
他明天将去游泳。
否定句：主 + be + not + going to ...
如：He isn’t going to swim tomorrow.
他明天将不去游泳。
一般疑问句：Be + 主 + going to ... ?
如：Is he going to swim tomorrow? 他明天将去游泳吗？
4. be going to 用于there be结构中时要用There be going to be + 主语 + 其它形式。前面be动词根据后面的主语确定，而后面的be动词保持不变。如：
There is going to be a football game tomorrow.
明天将有一场足球赛。
