around 作介词可表“四处;在…周围”;about作介词可表“到处,在(一定范围内的)各处,在…各方”。因此,你句中的的 about the floor 可以换成 around the floor。又如:A dozen cartons of books had been overturned and strewn about the floor. 十几个装书的纸箱都被倒空,乱扔了一地。We ended up sleeping around the flo...

英语和汉语的倍数表示法在概念上有相似之处,但也有不同之点,使用时需加注意。例如,假定某大队1973年棉花产量为100吨,而1979年跃进到500吨,就是说增加了四倍,其英语表示法至少可有下列几种:The output of cotton in 1979 was five times as much as that of 1973.The output of cotton in 1979 was five times that o...

及物动词是需要接宾语的,否则就是不及物动词。为了避免重复,人们常在第二个及物动词后用代词取代前一个宾语。如:He likes football, but I hate it.如果两动词相同,两宾语也相同,常用代动词或助动词表达。如:-Do you know English? - Of course I do.-Will you attend the meeting? - Yes,...

由as, though构成的倒装形式的让步状语从句中,当作表语的名词被形容词修饰时,可以用冠词,但要放在形容词后。如:Rough a man as / though he is, he is a hen-pecked husband. 尽管他很粗鲁,但他是一个妻管严。▲在这种情况下也常可不用冠词。如2005年重庆高考试题第27小题:27. _____, he talks a lot about hisfavorit...

这里的 concrete 为形容词,意为“混凝土的,具体的,实际的,实在的”。固然 concrete steps 有“水泥台阶”的意思,但你这里引用的词组分别是“具体步骤”和“具体行动”。“采取具体行动(或措施)”既可以用 take concrete steps 也可以用 take concrete actions,不存在哪个比哪个更好。

首先纠正你提的问题中的一个错误:“A is three times larger of B”应该是:A is three times the size of B.倍数表达最常用的是以下三种句型:①“倍数词 + the + 名词 + of”,如:This street is three times the length of that one. 这条街是那条街的三倍长(长两倍)。②“倍数词 + as + adj. / adv. + as”,如:This stree...

你的问题太泛了。I will help them. He enjoyed a nice meal. I need some paper. She loves music. I want it. ...等句子中的谓语动词都不接that引导的宾语从句。
