第二關(guān):易混詞語(yǔ)巧辨
1. [辨析]deep, deeply
(1)deep用于具體的深度,包括時(shí)間和空間。例如:
They dived deep in the sea. 他們潛入海的深處。
talk deep into the night 談到深夜
(2)deeply用于抽象的、比喻的意義。例如:
be deeply moved 被深深感動(dòng)
be deeply sorry for… 對(duì)……深表遺憾
[注意]deeply可以修飾形容詞和過(guò)去分詞,而deep不能,修飾顏色用deep。
2. [辨析]on, beside, at, by, near
on表示“在……旁;接近”,還可以表示“在某一天(星期幾,特定的早、午、晚)”; at表示有目的地靠近;beside和by表示偶然接近,比near表示的距離更近。by比beside的語(yǔ)氣更強(qiáng)。例如:

第三關(guān):交際用語(yǔ)及美英交際文化啟示
本單元學(xué)習(xí)描述方位和方向(Describing location and direction)的交際用語(yǔ):
North China華北South China華南West China華西East China華東

in the northern/southern/eastern/western part of… 在……的北/南/東/西部
northeastern/northwestern Sichuan 四川的東北/西北

文化啟示:漢語(yǔ)的“東南,東北”用英語(yǔ)來(lái)表示就成了“南東,北東”了,即southeast, northeast;“西北,西南”是“北西,南西”,即northwest, southwest,也就是說(shuō)在英語(yǔ)中應(yīng)把“北,南”放在前邊,另外,須注意英語(yǔ)方位用到的介詞,不同的介詞有不同的方位含義。
