【X-Level帶你學(xué)英語8】English amuses you!

“It takes a strong man to save himself, and a great man to save another.”

——強(qiáng)者自救，圣者渡人

“Confine yourself to the present”

——著眼于當(dāng)下

英語小陷阱

She is a has-been.

作為一只international小編，我可是有超級(jí)多外國小伙伴的哦~這不，一放假我就拉上小伙伴Joe陪小編看電視啦！

節(jié)目中一位風(fēng)韻猶存的好萊塢女演員正在接受采訪，Joe問我知不知道這個(gè)女演員，我回答說不知道。

于是，Joe嘴里嘟囔了一句，聽上去好像是: “She is a husband.”我聽了覺得很奇怪，就試探著問: “難道她是個(gè)女同性戀?”

Joe看了我一眼，說: “為什么這么問？” 我說: “剛才你不是說she is a husband?” Joe哈哈大笑，把他的話重復(fù)了一遍 “She is a has-been.” 然后向我解釋說，

這句話的意思是說這位女演員已經(jīng)過氣了，不紅了，所以也就是 “已經(jīng)成為過去式了”, 可是跟 “老公” 一點(diǎn)關(guān)系都沒有。

“Don't cry for what is lost.

Smile for what still remains.”

——?jiǎng)e為失去的哭泣，為還留在你身邊的一切微笑吧。

追溯詞源

memory（記憶）

隨著時(shí)間的推移時(shí)代的變化，大紅大紫的明星總會(huì)有“過氣”的那一天，“has-been”也就意味著從人們的記憶中淡去了，小編不禁想起《尋夢環(huán)游記》中那首經(jīng)典的主題曲Remember Me！

每次回顧，小編都感嘆“記憶”真是個(gè)神奇的東西，那么單詞“memory”是怎么來的呢？偷偷告訴大家，它來源于希臘神話哦~

莫涅莫緒涅（Mnemosyne）是希臘神話中的記憶女神。她是天神烏拉諾斯和大地女神蓋亞的女兒，十二泰坦神之一。

她是宙斯的情人，和宙斯一起生了九個(gè)繆斯女神。

莫涅莫緒涅的名字中包含詞根mneme，意思是“記憶”，Memory便來自記憶女神的名字。變體有：memo，memor，mnem，mnes。

拓展

memory： ['mem(?)r?]n.

記憶，記憶力

remember： [r?'memb?]v.

記得，記起memo： ['mem??]n.

備忘錄

memoir： ['memwɑ?] n.

回憶錄，自傳
memorial： [m?'m??r??l]adj.

紀(jì)念的，記憶的，追悼的n.

紀(jì)念碑，紀(jì)念館，紀(jì)念儀式，紀(jì)念物

“It is only when you are pursued that you became swift.”

——唯有在被追趕的時(shí)候，你才能真正地奔跑

初高中月考試卷解析

中考補(bǔ)全對(duì)話專講認(rèn)真看過前兩期推送的同學(xué)一定知道，補(bǔ)全對(duì)話主要考查三個(gè)內(nèi)容——一般疑問句、特殊疑問句和情景對(duì)話。

兩種疑問句的做題方法已經(jīng)推出，接下來小編就要放大招，帶大家攻克最不具有確定性但是最好得分的情景對(duì)話啦！

說它不具有確定性，因?yàn)榇鸢缚赡懿晃ㄒ唬徽f它最好得分，因?yàn)樽鲱}有“方法”。做題方法化為兩個(gè)詞：“禮貌原則”+“合理接話”！

（長郡初三第三次月考）

【答案】It must be Lily’s.

【總分析】根據(jù)以上的練習(xí)，我們可以知道情景對(duì)話無非也就兩種：一種有套路，根據(jù)“禮貌原則”即可作答，而禮貌用語需要的是多積累多練習(xí)。

另一種則是純粹看情景，要根據(jù)“合理對(duì)話”進(jìn)行作答，這類題關(guān)鍵在讀懂上下文，理清思路，并結(jié)合生活實(shí)際。

總之，補(bǔ)全對(duì)話是一個(gè)綜合性能力考查題，在時(shí)態(tài)等語法的基礎(chǔ)上考查大家寫英語句子的能力，通過情景設(shè)置考查大家在生活中應(yīng)用英語的能力。

要做好補(bǔ)全對(duì)話，建議大家多練多積累！
