Important and difficult points in Unit 4

1. They are said to be very good.

2. The bus starts in ten minutes.

1. The train leaves at 7 o’clock tomorrow morning.

本句话用一般现在时表示将来的时间，一般将来时表示时间表上已经确定好或安排好的事情。

2. What time does the correct start.

(2) They are said to have visited a lot of countries.

(1) It is said that they have visited a lot of countries.

｛

(2). sb ﹢be +said + to do sth.

(1). It is said that ……

｛

“据说……”, “听说……”

常用以下结构表示：

People say they are very good.

据说他们很棒。

Is there anything good on ?

3. I want to look at what’s on this week end?

on 的用法灵活多变。上述两句构成词组“ be on ”，表示“正在进行”或 “正在上演”。 On 是副词。

be on 后接表示组织的名词时，on 转化为介词，可表示：“……中的一员” 或 “为……效力”。例如：

I’m on our city team.

I’m on China Daily.

情景变化时就要注意其意义了。例如：街拐角发生了交通事故，有人问： “What’s on?” 相当于“What’s happening” 或 “What has happened?”

4. As soon as the reporters know what to write about, they get down to work.

记者们一旦知道所要报道的事件，就着手工作。

get down to 表示“认真开始”，要注意 to是介词，后面接名词、代词或 –ing 形式，例如：

(1).While the weather is fine, I must get down to repairing the house.

(2). Now let’s get down to business..

5.and fix a time for a face-to-face interview with them.

……约定时间进行面对面的采访。

( 1 ) fix 是及物动词，意思是：决定，确定。

(1). They’ve fixed the date for her sister’s wedding.

(2). She fixed the price at 3 dollars.

｛

(2). face-to-face与 face to face

｛

They are standing there, face-to-face.

分析：有连字符的词组只能作定语

5. All the people who work on a newspaper must be able to work fast.

报社里所有工作人员都必须能够快速地进行工作。

work on 表示“致力于”、“从事于” ，许多时候可以和 work at 互换使用。但 work on 表示“从事于（某工作或创作）” , 而 work at 表示“干（某事)”或“研究/解决（难题）等”.例如：

(1). He is said to be working on a new novel.

(2). He still works at his history.

辨 析

6. They go to the newspaper’s own library to look up any information that they need.

他们去报社的图书馆查找他们所需要的任何资料。

look up 作“查处” “找出” 解，使用过程中同学们很容易出现错误。例如：试翻译句子：

你如果不知道这个词的含义，可以去查字典。

｛

( 1 ). If you don’t know the meaning of the world, you may look up the dictionary.

( 2 ). If you don’t know the meaning of the world, you may look it up the dictionary.

Why ?

Look up是指词典或是参考书中查处单词或事实，它的宾语应该是词或事实，而不是单词。

7. Reporters are then sent to cover the events.

然后派出记者去采访这些事件。

cover 新闻术语，作“采访” 、“报道” 解。cover 词义广泛，含义多变。请看下列句子：

1. He covered himself with a blanket.

2. The village was covered by snow.

3. The city covers twenty square miles.

4. The dictionary does not cover all the English words

5. The horse covers twenty miles a day.

8. It is a daily newspaper, appearing from Monday to Saturday with a Sunday edition of Business Weekly each week.

这是一份日报，每周星期一到星期六出版，星期天出《 商业周刊 》。

(1). …appearing from…each week.-ing短语作定语，相当于一个非限制性定语从句：which appear from….例如：

My birthday party, lasting about six hours, ended this morning.

(2). weekly 周报，周刊，是名词，也可以作形容词，其他类似的词还有：daily, monthly, yearly.

9. It is also popular with students of English.

be popular with…表示“受到……的欢迎”。 例如：

Rap (说唱音乐) is very popular with young people.
