  課文簡(jiǎn)介

  本課語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)

  1. They are the hardest substance found in nature.
  本句中found in nature是定語(yǔ)從句,修飾substance.定語(yǔ)從句中省略了that are.這種省略現(xiàn)象在定語(yǔ)從句中很常見(jiàn),在前幾個(gè)單元中,我們遇到過(guò)多次。請(qǐng)看下面的句子:
  1) There are many books (that) I'd like to read. (有很多書(shū)我想看。)
  2) He is a man (that) we all like and trust. (他是一個(gè)我們大家喜歡和信賴的人。)
  3) This is the most interesting film (that) I have ever seen. (這是我看過(guò)的最有意思的電影)
  先行詞的前面有形容詞最高級(jí)時(shí),定語(yǔ)從句必須用that引導(dǎo),而不用which.
  本句中的hardest意思為“堅(jiān)硬的”“堅(jiān)固的”,而不是“困難的”。
  mean是一個(gè)很常見(jiàn)的詞,本句中的意思是“意味著”。mean還有“意欲,企圖,打算”的意思。請(qǐng)看下面的句子,注意mean在各句中的意思和用法:
  1) What do you mean by saying this to me? (你對(duì)我說(shuō)這個(gè)是什么意思?)
  2) Friendship means everything to him. (友誼對(duì)他來(lái)說(shuō)意味著一切。)
  3) The teacher's praise meant so much to the children. (老師的表?yè)P(yáng)對(duì)孩子們來(lái)說(shuō)很重要。)

  6) They meant to finish the work ahead of time. (他們的打算是提前完成這項(xiàng)工作。)
  7) I meant to call you but I forgot. (我原打算給你打電話的,但我忘記了。)
  cut在前一個(gè)句子中做動(dòng)詞用,意思是“切割”,在后一個(gè)句子中做名詞用,意思是“切面”。

   3. Diamonds are made from carbon.
  由……制成,可以用be made from和be made of兩個(gè)詞組來(lái)表達(dá)。但是be made from通常指制成品已看不出原材料是什么,而be made of可以看出該物品由什么材料制成的。

  4. Scientists know that the combination of extreme heat and pressure changes carbon into diamonds.

  extreme在句中做形容詞用,意思是“極度的”,如:
  1) Extreme cold can wake a hibernating animal. (極度的寒冷能使正在冬眠的動(dòng)物蘇醒。)
  2) They will have to endure extreme discomfort in winter. (冬天時(shí),他們將不得不忍受極度的不適。)
  change…into意思是“把…轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)椤保纾?BR>  1) Water changes into vapour when heated. (水加熱后轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)檎魵?。?BR>  2) Go to the bank and you can easily change these dollars into RMB. (你去銀行就能很容易地把這些美元換成人民幣。)

  5. Such heat and pressure exist only in the hot, liquid mass of molten rock deep inside the earth.
  請(qǐng)注意such與so之間的不同用法。such后面接名詞,而so后面接形容詞或副詞。如:
  1) I don't believe he could make such a mistake. (我相信他不會(huì)犯這樣的錯(cuò)誤的。)
  2) How can you go out on such a rainy day? (在這樣的雨天里,你怎么能出門(mén)?)

  4) I'm so glad you could come. (你能來(lái)我真高興。)
  mass在本句中的意思是“(聚成一體的)團(tuán)、塊”,比如:
  1) a mass of hot air(一團(tuán)熱氣)
  2) a mass of sand(一堆沙)
  3) Rain occurs when a mass of warm air is laden with water. (一團(tuán)云聚集大量的水蒸氣就形成了雨。)

  4) Mass production could very well cut the cost. (大規(guī)模生產(chǎn)可以降低成本。)

  6. It is thought that millions of years ago this liquid mass pushed upward through cracks in the earth's crust.
  It is thought that…是一個(gè)很常用的句型,類似的句型在英語(yǔ)中很多,比如:

  3) It is / was, has been…, pointed out that…
  4) It is / was, has been…, mentioned that…

  7. A. There are only four areas where very many diamonds have been formed.
  B. The first known area was in India, where diamonds were found thousands of years ago.
  定語(yǔ)從句可分為限定性定語(yǔ)從句和非限定性定語(yǔ)從句。A句是限定性定語(yǔ)從句,B句是非限定性定語(yǔ)從句。A、B兩句中都是用關(guān)系副詞where來(lái)引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句,修飾表示地點(diǎn)的名詞。請(qǐng)看下面的句子,注意限定性定語(yǔ)從句一般不用逗號(hào)隔開(kāi):
  1) Is there a shop around where we can get some fruit? (附近有什么商店可以買(mǎi)到水果嗎?)
  2) This is the place where we met yesterday. (這是我們昨天碰頭的地方。)
  3) The small town, where he once worked, has turned to be a modern city. (他曾經(jīng)工作過(guò)的那座小城,已經(jīng)變成現(xiàn)代化的城市了。)

  In the 1720's…(十八世紀(jì)二十年代)
  In the 1800's…(十九世紀(jì))
  請(qǐng)注意年代的表達(dá)方法,以上的年代也可以表達(dá)為in the 1600s; in the 1720s; in the 1800s.如果我們要表達(dá)“在十七世紀(jì)初(中、末)期”,則可以說(shuō)in the early(mid, late) 1600's/1600s.

  9. Diamonds became very popular with the kings and queens of Europe.
  become / be popular with / among是一個(gè)常用詞組,意思是“受…歡迎”,

  10. India's supply of diamonds was finally running out after 2,500 yeas of mining the stones.
  Supply在句子中做名詞用,意思是“供應(yīng)”。Supply常常可以做動(dòng)詞用,意思是“供給,提供”。
  run out是一個(gè)常用詞組,意思是“用完,用盡”。請(qǐng)看例句:
  1) Time is running out. We have to hurry. (時(shí)間快到了,我們得快點(diǎn)。)
  2) My patience is running out. (我快要耐不住了。)
  3) His luck seemed to have run out. (他的好運(yùn)似乎結(jié)束了。)
  我們也可以用run out來(lái)表達(dá)類似的意思,但run out of的主語(yǔ)應(yīng)該是“某人”。如:
  1) They have run out of money, so they have to find a job. (他們錢(qián)用完了,所以得找一份工作。)
  2) I have run out of ink. (我的墨水用完了。)

  11. People would pick up handfuls of gravel from the bottom of the streams and sort out the diamonds.
  -ful通常加在名詞后面,構(gòu)成形容詞,如care-careful,help-helpful.而本句中的handful是一個(gè)名詞,意思是“一把”,在單詞部分,我們已經(jīng)提到過(guò),英語(yǔ)中有不少這樣的詞,如:
  1) He gave me a basketful of beaches. (他給了我滿滿一籃子桃子。)
  2) She put a spoonful of salt in the soup. (她往湯里撒了滿滿一勺鹽。)
  3) Tom is carrying an armful of books. (湯姆抱著一捆書(shū)。)

  12. These diamonds were probably carried from where they were formed to India by great sheets of moving ice that covered parts of the earth 20,000 years ago.
  where they were formed是where引出的名詞性從句,作介詞from的賓語(yǔ)。請(qǐng)看下面的句子:
   He didn't say anything about where the accident took place. (他對(duì)事故在哪兒發(fā)生的只字未提。)

   13. It flows over boards thickly coated with grease.
  在本句中的定語(yǔ)從句thickly coated with greases前面省略了which/that are.coat一般做名詞用,意思是“外套”或“(動(dòng)物的)皮毛”。在本句中coat作動(dòng)詞用,意思是“在…上涂(包)著”,

  14. Since diamonds stick to grease, they are left behind by the rocks and mud which flow down the tables.
  Stick在本句中的意思是“粘住”。Stick to也可以表示“堅(jiān)持,遵守”的意思。
