Grammarfocus语法1.Ienteredthehotelmanager'sofficeandsatdown.我走进饭店经理的办公室，坐了下来。这是一个由and连接的并列句，因为and前后的两个句子主语相同，为了避免重复，所以省略了and后面这个句子的主语。全句本来是：Ienteredthehotelmanager'sofficeandIsatdown.2.Ihadjustlost$50andIfeltveryupset.我刚刚丢了50英镑，感到非常烦恼。lose表示丢失、失去。相关的词组有：loseheart灰心，失去信心。如：Don'tloseheart,youstillhavemorechances.别灰心，你还有更多的机会。loseone'shearttosb.爱上某人。如：Helosthishearttoaprettygirl.他热恋一个漂亮女孩。loseface丢脸、丢面子。如：Iwon'tmakeyoulosefaceinpublic.我不会当众使你难堪。feelupset感到苦恼，feel在此用作系动词。其后可以接形容词表示心情或感觉。如：Ifeelexcited.我感到很兴奋。Hefeelscold.他感到很冷。3.Everyone'slosingmoneythesedays.现在大家都在丢钱。这句话用了现在进行时，表示丢钱这件事最近发生的很频繁。4.Hestartedtocomplainaboutthiswickedworldbutwasinterruptedbyaknockatthedoor.他开始抱怨起这个邪恶的世道来，却被一阵敲门声打断了。这是一个由but连接的表示转折的并列句。starttodosth.表示开始做某事，事情还没有做。如：Tellmeassoonasyoustarttofeelsick,allright?你一感到不舒服就马上告诉我，好吗？startdoingsth.表示开始做某事，事情已经做了。如：Howoldwereyouwhenyoufirststartedplayingthepiano?你几岁时开始弹钢琴？but后面的句子因为主语和but前面的句子主语相同，所以后面句子中的主语he被省略了。wasinterrupted是一般过去时的被动语态。一般过去时的被动语态由主语+was/were+过去分词+其它组成。如：Manyhousesweredamagedintheflood.很多房屋在洪水中损坏了。5.'Well,'Isaidtothemanager,'thereisstillsomehonestyinthisworld!'.“是啊，”我对那位经理说，“这世界上还是有诚实可言的！”well是个感叹词，此处表示作者松了一口气。Isaidtothemanager.是插入语。由于well只是句子的一部分，所以manager后面不是句号，而是逗号，表明后面还有。honesty是抽象名词，也是一个不可数名词。somehonesty表示一些/一定的诚实。Exercises练习一.
