三、重点词汇短语讲解
1. 动词+副词构成的短语,代词做宾语只能放在中间,名词做宾语可中可后。
如: clean up; give out; cheer up; put up; write down; hand out; call up; set up;
fix up; give away; work out
2. could 表示建议,比can婉转。
3. put off +v-ing
4. put up 举起,悬挂,张贴。
5. Not only … but also … 不仅…而且… 强调后者
① 此结构用来连接主语时,谓语动词按照就近原则,在人称与数上与but also后的名词、代词保持一致。
例:Not also ZhouXia, but also her parents are fond of watching football matches.
② 此结构可用来连接两个句子,当not only连接的句子位于句首时,该句要部分倒装。
例:
Not only does Miss Li like music,but also she likes sports.李小姐不但喜欢音乐,还喜欢体育
Not only did he come,but also he was very happy.他不但来了,而且还很高兴。
