[難點講解]

1、There is a rumour that a large company wants to build a factory in your city.

這里that引導的是同位語從句，說明消息內容。

試比較：

這是我從波士頓環球報上得知的消息。(that引導的是定語從句，that在從句中作賓語)

Do you know the exciting news that our football team beat Class 3 in the match?

你知道這個激動人心消息--我們的足球隊贏了三班？

（that引導的是同位語，that只是引導詞在從句中不作任何成分）

face作動詞的一些常見用法：

He faced left. 他面朝著左邊。

*表示朝向的，有時也作v.i用，接介詞to，on等：

以下轉義，意為面臨：

[語法] 過去分詞作定語與表語

一、作定語：

及物動詞的過去分詞都有被動意義，常常表示完成的動作：

I visited a church built 200 years ago.

我參觀了一所200年前建造的教堂。

There is a broken bottle on the floor. 地板上有一個打破的瓶子。

上述例子都有被動完成之意，但下句則無過去或完成之意：

He is a pop star loved by many young girls.

他是一個很多女孩都喜歡的歌星。

少數不及物動詞的過去分詞，無被動意義：

fallen leaves 落葉

a retired teacher 退休教師

二、作表語：

與被動語態不一樣，是對主語的說明或修飾而不是主語的動作與行為。

The students were very excited at Hawking’s lecture.

The gate was locked. 門關著。

She was frightened last night.

His laptop is gone.

lost

他的手提電腦丟了。（gone是不定物動詞的過去分詞，無被動意義）

試與被動語態比較：

She was frightened by the thief. 她被那小偷嚇壞了。

The gate is locked every night by the guard.

這大門每天晚上由保安上鎖。

二、閱讀理解

There are some people who just can’t make up their minds by themselves. They often ask the advice of their friends then do the opposite of what their friends have suggested.

My brother Jack is such a person. He can never decide what to do, and is always asking my opinion. I try to help him as well as I can, but he never takes my advice. Yesterday I answered his question in a different way.

“Look, ” he said, showing me a letter. “What do you think I ought to do?”

The letter was an offer of a job. It seemed to be an excellent opportunity(機會) for a young engineer. Jack would be sent to Africa to work. The job would pay very well, and he would be able to travel and visit many interesting places.

“What do you think, Bill?” he asked. “Should I go? If I were to accept the job, I’d have to stay in Africa for two years. I might have to stay longer. But it would be wonderful experience for me. What should I do?”

“Don’t go.” I told him. “You’d be very unhappy.”

“Don’t go?” he looked very surprised at me.

As you probably guessed, Jack accepted the offer. I don’t know if he knew what I really meant.
