Step 6. Language points of the texts
1. When he was a young boy he used to ask lots of questions...
在孩童時(shí)代，他常常問許多問題……
used to do sth. 意為“過去常常做某事”，在使用時(shí)應(yīng)注意兩點(diǎn)區(qū)別：
(1) 與would的區(qū)別：
used to一般不和過去的頻度狀語連用，而would可以。used to既表示狀態(tài)，也表示反復(fù)性的動(dòng)作，而would只表示反復(fù)性的動(dòng)作，如：
When I was young, I used to have a lot more free time than I do now. I used to live near my work and would always get home early. Sometimes I would do a bit of gardening or go for a long walk.我年輕時(shí)比我現(xiàn)在空閑得多。我過去的居所離工作地點(diǎn)近，因此常常早早回家。有時(shí)我干點(diǎn)園藝活或散散步。
注意句中的used to have和used to live表示持續(xù)的狀態(tài)，不可用would，而和always及sometimes連用的would因?yàn)橛斜硎绢l度的狀語從而不能用used to替代。
(2) 與be used to doing sth.和be used to do sth.的區(qū)別：
be used to doing sth.意為“習(xí)慣于做某事”，be used to doing sth.意為“被用來干什么”，而used to do sth.意為“過去常常做某事”，如：
He used to bring me roses when he came to see me.
過去他來看我時(shí)常帶玫瑰花。
I'm used to doing jogging in the morning now.
我習(xí)慣于早上慢跑。
Computers can be used to do a lot of work now.
如今電腦可用來做許多事。
2. By the time he was fourteen years old, he had learned maths all by himself. 到他14歲那年，他已自學(xué)了數(shù)學(xué)。
(1) by oneself 意為“獨(dú)自”，相當(dāng)于 alone。反身代詞可以組成一些習(xí)語和詞組，如：I'm not myself today. 我今天不舒服。The emperor wished to see the cloth for himself.皇帝想親眼看看這種布。The door opened of itself.門自動(dòng)開了。Bob has taught himself German for four years.鮑勃自學(xué)了四年德語。The little girl dare not stay at the lonely cottage by herself.那個(gè)小女孩不敢單獨(dú)留在那荒涼的小房子里。
(2) by與時(shí)間名詞連用時(shí)一般表示“到某時(shí)為止”，由于終點(diǎn)時(shí)間不同，其后所接的時(shí)態(tài)也不同。此外，狀態(tài)性的動(dòng)詞多用一般時(shí)，而動(dòng)作性的動(dòng)詞多用完成時(shí)，如：By the time he was fourteen years old, he knew he would become a scientist.到他14歲那年，他意識(shí)到他將成為一名科學(xué)家。By the time he was fourteen years old, he had learned two thousand words.到他14歲那年，他已學(xué)了2000個(gè)詞。By the end of last year, we had set up another two branches in this area.到去年年底，我們已經(jīng)在這個(gè)地區(qū)建立了兩個(gè)分部。By now, several bridges have been built over the Changjiang River.到目前為止，長江上已經(jīng)建了好幾座橋。By the end of this century, China will have become a more powerful country in the world.到本世紀(jì)末，中國將成為世界上更強(qiáng)大的國家。
3. He found it hard to get along with the other boys. 他覺得很難與其它男孩相處 get along/on可以作為不及物動(dòng)詞詞組使用，也可以加介詞with后接名詞，代詞或名詞詞組，相當(dāng)于一個(gè)及物動(dòng)詞詞組。如：

How is he getting along/on with his French? 他的法語進(jìn)展如何?
All the students in this room are getting along/on with each other very well. 這個(gè)寢舍的同學(xué)們相處融洽。
4. All through his life Einstein was content to spend most of his time alone...
content 意為“滿足的”、“滿意的”、“愿意的”。content 是表語形容詞，一般不作定語作用。content作表語時(shí)，后面常常接介詞with或動(dòng)詞不定式。
Are you content with your present salary? 你對(duì)目前的薪水滿意嗎?
She is always content with very little. 她總是很容易滿足。
I should be well content to do so. 我很樂意這樣做。
content 也可以作為名詞使用，但語義與形容詞相差甚遠(yuǎn)，在使用時(shí)需注意區(qū)別。如：What do you think of the content of the film? 你認(rèn)為這部電影的內(nèi)容如何?
Can you calculate the content of the tube? 你能計(jì)算出試管的容量嗎?
5. With the pay that he received and saved, he went on with his studies at university, where he received a doctor's degree in 1905. 他用自己掙來和節(jié)省的錢繼續(xù)在大學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)，于1905年獲得了一個(gè)博士學(xué)位。
(1) 這是一個(gè)復(fù)合句，其中包含了兩個(gè)定語從句。That he received and saved修飾the pay, where he received a doctor's degree in 1905修飾university。
(2) receive 意為“受到”或“收到”，語義與accept有別，accept意為“(主動(dòng)地)接受”如：I received his invitation yesterday, but I didn't accept it. 我昨天收到他的請(qǐng)柬，但沒有接受。
(3) pay 是不可數(shù)名詞，意為“薪金”或“報(bào)酬”，常用low/high修飾，如：
He gets his pay each Friday. 他每星期五領(lǐng)薪金。
Success is often the pay for hard work. 成功往往是勤奮的回報(bào)。

6. ... he began the research and studies which led to his new discoveries in physics. 他開始了研究，這些研究使他在物理學(xué)領(lǐng)域有了新的發(fā)現(xiàn)。
(1) lead to 是一個(gè)活躍的詞組，意為“通向”、“導(dǎo)致”、“使得”等等，其常見的結(jié)構(gòu)是 lead to sth. 或 lead sb.to sth. 或lead sb. to do sth.。如：
(2) All roads lead to Rome. 條條道路通羅馬。
Hard work and proper ways will lead you to success. 勤奮的工作和正確的方法會(huì)使你成功。
What led you to believe him? 是什么使得你相信他的?
(2) research 既是動(dòng)詞，也是名詞，意為“研究”，如：He has gone to India to do some research on the culture there. 為了研究印度文化他去了印度。
The scientists have been researching into the cause of the AIDS. 科學(xué)家們一直在研究愛滋病的病因。
7. He accepted the job of Professor of physics, but asked for very little money. 他接受了物理學(xué)教授的職位，但要求的薪水甚少。
派生詞：acceptable adj. 可以接受的 acceptance n. ［U］ 接受；贊同
If this condition is acceptable to you, that's settled then. 如果這項(xiàng)條件你可以接受，那就這么定了。
Professor Smith's suggestion met with general acceptance. 史密斯教授的建議受到普遍的贊同。
8. He once refused to speak on the radio for $ 1,000 a minute. Another time someone saw him using a cheque for $ 1,500 as a bookmark.有一次，他拒絕作每分鐘1,000 美元的廣播講話。還有一次，有人看見他用一張1,500美元的支票作書簽。
1) for $ 1,000 a minute 意為“以每分鐘1,000美元的價(jià) 格”，for在這里相當(dāng)于 at the price of。又如：
The couple bought the house for $ 200,000. 這對(duì)夫婦花了20萬美元買了這座房子。
They got the 51% of the shares of the company for100,000,000 dollars.
他們花了1億美元買下了這家公司的51%的股份。
2) a cheque for 1,500注意介詞for表示“代表”之意.
3) use...as... 也可以用作 use...for..., 意為“將……作為……使用”，又如：
You may use this box as/for a seat. 你可將這箱子當(dāng)作座位。
4) Once... Another time... 注意上下兩句中的關(guān)聯(lián)結(jié)構(gòu)，意為“一次……還有一次……”。 在寫作時(shí)用一些關(guān)聯(lián)詞可使句與句之間、段落與段落之間關(guān)系緊湊。
9. Einstein lived the rest of his life quietly in the USA. 愛因斯坦在美國寧靜地度過了余生。rest作為“余留者”使用時(shí)，必須與the連用。本課中便是如此。試比較：

Besides在使用時(shí)需注意與except的區(qū)別。 besides常和another, more else等詞連用，表示兩者相加的關(guān)系。except常和all, every, no, nothing, nobody等詞連用，表示從整體中去除部分的關(guān)系。如：Besides me, two more students were chosen to take part in the competition. 除了我以外還有兩位學(xué)生也被選中去參加這次競賽。
Everybody is here except Tom. 除了湯姆大家都到了。
12. Such was Albert Einstein, a simple man and the 20th century's greatest scientist. 這就是愛因斯坦，一個(gè)質(zhì)樸的人，(但卻是)20世紀(jì)最偉大的科學(xué)家。
這是一個(gè)倒裝句。當(dāng)such/so位于句首時(shí)，句中的謂語動(dòng)詞常采用倒裝結(jié)構(gòu)。注意
such既可用作代詞，也可用作形容詞。如：
Such is the answer to the question. 這就是這個(gè)問題的答案。

1) travel, quarrel的過去式、過去分詞以及現(xiàn)在分詞既可雙寫“l(fā)”，也可單寫“l(fā)”。而control, level, signal的過去式、過去分詞以及現(xiàn)在分詞必須雙寫。
travel-travel(l)ed-travel(l)ed-travel(l)ing
quarrel-quarrel(l)ed-quarrel(l)ed-quarrel(l)ing
control-controlled-controlled-controlling
level-levelled-levelled-levelling
signal-signalled-signalled-signalling

其他有關(guān)天體方面的名詞前的冠詞大致如下：
in the universe 在宇宙中 in heaven 在天堂 in the sky 在天空中
in nature 在大自然里 on the earth/on earth, on Mars 在地球或火星上
14. But Einstein was able to prove that light coming

2) 在本句中，appear不是不及物動(dòng)詞“出現(xiàn)”，而是系動(dòng)詞“似乎”、“看上去”，相當(dāng)于seem,其結(jié)構(gòu)也與seem相近，如：
