1. bring 的意思是把某人或某物“带来” ,

“ 拿来” , 强调方向 , 即从别处拿到说话人这儿来。 e.g.

　　 Next time you come , bring me that b

ook, please.

下次你来的时候 , 把那本书带来。 take 的意思是把人或物“带走 , 拿走” ,

ExplanationExplanation

即从说话人这儿带到别处去。 e.g. 　　 Who has taken away today’s

newspaper?

谁拿走了今天的报纸？ 另外 , 相似的词还有 get 和 fetch, 表示到某地找到某人或某物并带回来，强调一去一回。 e.g.

Go and get some water. 去弄点水来。 Can you fetch me some paper ? 你能给我取点纸吗？

2. might ：意思是“可以”，“可能”，用作情态动词或虚拟语气中。 (1) He said that I might borrow his bike. ( 情态动词 may 的过去式 , 表示许可，意思是“可以”） 他说我可以借他的自行车。

(2) He might not know anyone at the part

y. 他可能在晚会上谁也不认识。 may 的虚拟语气形式 , 不表示过去 , 而

表示现在或将来“可以 , 可能” , 但语气更委婉、客气 , 有时表示对可能性有所怀疑。

Grammar focusGrammar focus

1. 虚拟语气：如果我们所说的不是事实 ,也不是要求、命令、劝告等，而只是一种假设、愿望、建议或是一种实现不了的空想就用虚拟语气。

注意 : 条件句分两种 , 真实条件句和虚拟条件句。只有在虚拟 ( 非真实 ) 条件

句中 , 才用虚拟语气 , 而在真实条件句中 , 要用陈述语气。

(1). If it is sunny tomorrow, we’ll go to t

he zoo.

如果明天天气好 , 我们将会去公园。 在这句话中 , 明天天气好是完全有

可能实现的 , 并非虚拟、幻想 , 因此是真实条件句。

请比较：

(2). If I were you , I would go at once.

( 如果我是你的话 , 我立刻就走。 ) 这句话是条件句 “如果我是你” , 但事实上 , 我不可能成为你 ,

这只是假设的情况 , 没有实现的可能。当条件实现的可能性很小 , 甚至可以说没有时 , 就需要用虚拟语气来表示 ,

动词发生了变化。

也就是说虚拟语气表示和现实的事实相反时，从句用一般过去时 , 主句用 “ should/would/could/ might

+ 动词原形” 。

• If I had time, I would go for a walk.

• If I were invited, I would go to the

dinner party.

• If I won a million dollars in the

lottery, I would put it in the bank.

2. He doesn’t know if he should bring a pr

esent.

此处 if 表示“是否” , 引导宾语从句。Should 此处表示“应该” , 不是虚拟语气。

　 ① . I don’t know if I should go to the par

ty.

②. If I have enough money, I will go t

o Hainan.

　 present 在这是“礼物”的意思。 3. If I were you, I’d wear a shirt and tie.

if 引导的条件状语从句表示与现在事实相反的虚拟语气时 , be 动词只能用 w

ere, 而不能用 was 。

e. g. If he were here, he would not ag

ree with you.

4. I don’t have a present. What if eve

ryone else brings a present?

What if… “ 如果……怎么办 ? ” 相当于 what would happen if…

e. g. What shall I do if it snows?

Reading (3a: P28)Reading (3a: P28)

1. I get nervous before big parties.

在大的晚会之前 , 我会感到紧张。 get nervous 变得紧张 , get 是系动词 , n

ervous 是形容词做表语。 又如 : be nervous 或 feel nervous 均可

表达同样的含义。

2.Then I ’m too tired to do well.

然后就很累 , 考不好。 too… to … 意为“太…而不能” , 出现在

简单句中，常与 so …that … 句式not …enough to do 句式进行转换。He is too young to go to school.

=He is so young that he can’t go to school.

=He is not old enough to go to school.

这三个句子的意思都是 : 他太小而不能上学。

Subject: Reply From: Knowledgeable Dear Fran, Shyness is extremely common, especially among teens. As shy people, most of us are worrying about ourselves—about how we look, what we say and whether other people will like us—to stop to think about what we can do for other people. But really, that’s what being social is about—the other person, not us. So you can tell her two ways to overcome shyness.
