② The sooner you do it,the better it will be. 你越早做,它就越好。
7. Hiking is easy to do and... 徒步旅行很容易而且……。
這樣的句子中要注意兩個關系:
① 不定式動詞和句子的主語具有邏輯上的動賓關系。 ② 不定式前的形容詞表示了產生不定式動作時主語的特性或情況。這兩種關系決定了不定式動詞只能用主動語態而不能用被動語態。這一句型中的形容詞常見的有:easy, hard, difficult, heavy, light, fit, cheap, important, interesting, pleasant以及這些詞的反義詞。但如果不定式動詞是不及物動詞,則必須加上必要的介詞或副詞。這種結構常可以改為形式主語It+be+形容詞+不定式短語(即邏輯主語)這一句型。例:
This question is easy to answer.= It's easy to answer this question. 這個問題很好回答。
The house is hard to live in.這房子很難住。

16.第一次for the first time;第二次for the second time, 最后一次for the last time。如果用在it is ...that句型中, that 后的謂語動詞用完成時態。如:It is for the first time that she has talked with an Englishman.這是她首次同英國人談話。
17. 在某人看來in one's opinion / in the opinion of sb.
18. 或多或少more or less

make+賓語+賓語補足語(可以和have / let / get的用法作一比較)有時用it做形式賓語代替真正的賓語。
在這一結構中,賓語補足語可以是不帶to的動詞不定式、過去分詞或形容詞形式。
1) make+賓語+不帶to的不定式。
這一結構表示的意思是"使某人做某事"。例如:
① Taking some medicine made me feel much better. 服了一些藥使我感到好多了。
② They made the boy stand under a tree.他們讓那個男孩站在樹下。
[注意] 若此結構變為被動語態,補語要用帶to的動詞不定式。例如:

④ The boy was made to stand under a tree.
2) make +賓語+過去分詞。
這一結構表示的意思是"使某人/某事被……"。例如:
⑤ The speaker raised his voice in order to make himself heard.發言人提高了嗓音以便別人聽到他說的話。
⑥ Can you make yourself understood at the beginning? 你一開始就能讓別人明白你的意思嗎?
⑦ We should not make our plan known to everybody. 我們不應該使每個人都知道我們的計劃。
3) make +賓語+形容詞。
這一結構表示的意思是"使某人/某事(變得)……"。例如:
⑧ The interesting story made him very happy.這個有趣的故事使他很高興。
⑨ They have made the house clean and tidy. 他們把房子收拾得干凈而整潔。
4. Many people like this film not just because the story itself is moving, but also because most of the people in the film use their real names and play themselves. 許多人都喜歡這部電影,不僅因為故事本身感人,而且因為影片中的大部分人物都使用了自己真實的姓名并扮演了自己。
句中原因狀語是由not just...but also...(=not only ...but also)連接的兩個并列句,意思是"不僅……而且……"。如:
① The singers of country music do not just come from the States but from all over the world. 鄉村音樂歌手不僅僅來自美國,而且來自世界各地。
② She is not just a student but a singer. 她不僅是一個學生而且是一個歌手。

1) It's time for sb. to do sth. 到了某人干某事的時候了。如:
It's time for us to have class.到我們上課的時候了。(我們該上課了。)
2)另外,還有句型:It's time sb. did sth.意為"是某人做某事的時候了"。
這個句型中的謂語動詞用過去式,是虛擬語氣的一種用法。例如:
① It's time we had our lessons. 是我們上課的時候了。
② It's about time you had dinner. 是你吃飯的時候了。
③ It's high time we had supper.我們該吃晚飯了。
6. Don't talk loudly while eating. 吃飯時不要高聲喧嘩。

① You don't need to worry about all these rules while having dinner with friends or family. 同朋友或家人進餐時你沒必要擔心這些規則。
② He looked into the distance while listening to the pop music. 他邊聽流行音樂邊向遠方看。
為了使句子的邏輯性更加明顯,有很多分詞前可以保留引導詞。例:
③ Though invited twice, he decided not to go to her party. 盡管兩次被邀,但他決定不赴她的宴會。
④ When doing her homework, she was interrupted by her little brother. 做作業時, 她受到弟弟的打擾。
7. Looking up at the large head and down at the large feet makes you feel so small. 上下看看那巨大的頭和腳會讓你覺得自己太渺小。
此句型中使用了動名詞短語作主語。動名詞作主語往往表示抽象的或習慣性的行為。如:
① Taking good care of the children is her full-time job. 照看孩子是她的專職工作。
② Seeing is believing. 眼見為實。
【短語精選】
1. on fire / catch fire著火。
