初中初三英语课本(牛津译林版)
以下都是课本原句:
1)
a)Ithink people should know that life on Mars would be different from that on theEarth.
=b)Ithink people should know the differences of the life on Mars from that on theEarth.
书上说a)=b)。
对此,我有3个疑问:
是:句a)中life onMars 没定冠词the,为什么b)句中变成了加了定冠词the的,即 the lifeon Mars 呢?如何修改才能保证a)和b)含义相同呢?
是:句b)中的from含义是什么?和from...to...中的from 是“同一个”含义使用方法吗?句b)中的from =than 吗?句b)结构看不明白,特别是这里的from看不明白?!
我觉得应该是I thinkpeople should know the differences of the life BETWEEN on Mars AND on the Earth. - 对吗?
另外,书上又出现了:
c)问:What doesthe writer think of life on Mars ?
d)答:Betterthan life on the Earth ?
非常奇怪:注意,这两句中life前都没定冠词the, 和上面的句a),句b)又不同了!!
其中,我的3个疑问是:
句c)这个问句我看不明白what和think of之间的关系,如何划分句子结构成分?这里的of=about吗?
句d)答句中的life可否用it替换?这里的life是不可以用one, 不可以用that替换的吧??
为何句c)问句和句d)答句中life前又没了定冠词the, 不同于上面的句a)和句b)呢?
以上,(2),(3),(4),(5),(6)等都是疑惑的地方,麻烦老师逐一解答。
很感谢!
1)Are you aware how far Mars is away from the Sun ? 改写 1)Are you aware of the distance between Mars and the Sun ?
2) I think people should know that life on Mars would be different from that on the Earth. 改写:I think people should know the differences between life on Mars and that on the Earth.
3) I wonder how many people would like to move to Mars. 改写:3) I wonder what is the number of people willing to move to Mars.
4) life on Mars 和 life on the earth 中,life都是不可数名词。课文在二个地方对于地球上的生活,一处用泛指,一处用特指。这个问题就只能问原文作者了。that只能替代特指名词,即that on the Earth = the life on the Earth.
