Unit 5—Unit 6 重难点单词、词组及句型

1.consist of 由……组成;由……构成

主要用法:

(1)没有被动语态

(2)consist of 相当于be made up of

The UK consists of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

英国由大不列颠及北爱尔兰联合王国组成。(相当于is made up of)

The beauty of Venice consists of the style of its ancient buildings.

威尼斯之美在于它的古代建筑之风格。(相当于lies in)

(3)同be made up of 用法的比较

be made up of的主动形式为:make up

即:A make up B. A 组成了B.

被动语态为:B be made up of A.  B是由A组成的。

注意:不可写为:B be made up by A.

例如:Three districts make up Wuhan.

   武汉是由三镇组成的。

(被动语态:Wuhan is made up of three districts.)

或:Wuhan consists of three districts.

不可写为:Wuhan is consisted of three districts.

Class Three is made up of 79 students.

三班是由79个学生组成的。(主动语态:79 students make up Class Three.)

2.The island just west of Britain is called Ireland.

在不列颠群岛西边的岛屿叫爱尔兰岛。

此句子用了省略形式:原句应为:

The island which is just to the west of Britain is called Ireland.

其中 which is just to the west of Britain 是定语从句,用来修饰先行词island.

根据定语从句的语法which is可以省略。而在英语惯用法中,如果方位前面的介词是to the时,可以省掉介词to及冠词the,于是我们就看到了原来的句子。又如:

Taiwan lies(to the)southeast of Fujian.

台湾省位于福建省的东南部。

此句可写为:Tiawan lies southeast of Fujian.

To the east of the city, there is a chemical factory.

在城市的东边,有一家化工厂。

此句可写为:East of the city, there is a chemical factory.

3.…but it was not until 250 years later that they formed a single state.

但是直到250年后,才成立了一个单独的国家。

此句用的是强调句型:It is /was…that /who …,但是要注意在强调not…until结构中的until部分时,需要把主句中的not带上,形成It is /was not until…that…结构。例如:

I didn’t go to bed until my mother came back home.

直到妈妈回家,我才上床睡觉。

→It was not until my mother came back home that I went to bed.

另外,not…until结构中,如要把until所引导的句子放在句首,同样主句中的not也需一起带上,形成not until…,并且主句要进行部分倒装。例如:

Not until my mother came back home did I go to bed.

4.make the most of充分利用;充分展示(get the best use of; make full use of; get the greatest gain from)
