鷌n the beginning 開始，起初．------ in the end

The organizer made an opening speech at the beginning of the conference; at the end the main speaker gave a summary.

5．Then for a period of several weeks we practise doing the play．

【問】在句子中，period表示什么意思？動詞practise后可以跟動詞不定式嗎？

【答】period在此表示一段時間。A period of several weeks的意思是“幾周時間”。再如：鶤n hour is a period of time while one o'clock is a point in time．一小時是一段時間，一點鐘是一個時刻。鶰y mother lived in Shanghai for a period of time．我母親在上海住過一段時間。另外，period還可以譯為“時期”、“時代”。例如：鷗he Tang period唐代鶧uring the later period of the nineteenth century十九世紀后期鷓ractise是及物動詞，作“練習”解，后面跟名詞或動詞-ing形式作賓語，不能跟不定式作賓語。例如：鶺e practise entrances and exits．我們訓練入場和出暢）鶷he teacher asked us to practise writing summaries．老師要我們練習寫摘要。

6.The timing is very important, not only for the movements but also for the lines of the dialogue．時間的安排和掌握，不僅對于動作，而且對臺詞都非常重要。

7.I’ve chosen the main actors and we intend to put it on next January．

我已經選好了主要演員，打算明年一月上演這出戲。

intend意為“打算，意圖”，常用于intend to do結構。如：鶺hat do you intend to do in the summer holidays﹖你打算暑假干什么？注意：had intended to do相當于intended to have done表示過去有此打算，但未能實現。如：鶬 intended to have finished the work last week．我原本打算上周完成工作的。（實際上未完成）鷌ntend還可作“意指”，通常用被動語態。鶷his new book is intended for children．這本新書是給兒童讀的。鶷his was intended to be a picture of a cat．這幅畫本來是畫貓的

8．particular; especial; special

particular著重指同類事物中某一個具有獨特性質的事例，是相當“一般”而言的“特殊”、“特定”。如：鶲n that particular day the stores are closed．在特定的那一天店鋪都關了門。（平時沒有這種現象）鷖pecial和especial都有“特殊的，特別的”之意。如：鶺hat are your special interests﹖你有些什么特別的愛好？鶦ollecting stamps is a matter of especial interest．集郵是特別有趣的事。不同的是，special還有“專門的，額外的”的意思。如：鶼ou need a special tool to do that．干那個活兒要用專用工具。鶷ake special care of it．對這東西要特別細心。

9．very; right; just

三者都含有“正好；就是”之意，但very是形容詞，用來修飾名詞，位于the, this，my等限定詞后；right和just作副詞，用來修飾謂語（常為動詞be）或作狀語的介詞短語等，須放在the, this，my等限定詞之前。如：鶤t the very beginning of this term, they took an exam．就在學期開始的時候，他們舉行了一次考試。鶫e is just the actor I want．他正是我所想要的演員。鶷he police looked at the thief right in the eye．警察目不轉睛地盯著小偷。
