Lesson21 Mad or not? 是不是瘋了

課文

Aeroplanes are slowly driving me mad. I live near an airport and passing planes can be heard night and day. The airport was built years ago, but for some reason it could not be used then.Last year, however, it came into use. Over a hundred people must have been driven away from their homes by the noise. I am one of the few people left. Sometimes I think this house will be knocked down by a passing plane. I have been offered a large sum of money to go away, but I am determined to stay here. Everybody says I must be mad and they are probably right.

課文講解

Aeroplanes are slowly driving me mad.

drive: v.駕駛轿钠,開車
drive sb. mad
The teacher is slowly driving me mad.
You're driving me mad/crazy!

I live near an airport and passing planes can be heard night and day.

pass v.
passing是分詞作定語
-現(xiàn)在分詞(present participle)

非謂語動詞有三類:

  1. 動名詞
  2. 分詞-現(xiàn)在分詞&過去分詞
  3. 不定式

現(xiàn)在分詞形式:v. + ing
作定語時:現(xiàn)在分詞 & 動名詞
如何區(qū)分現(xiàn)在分詞巢钓、動名詞作定語的情況
現(xiàn)在分詞做定語:
Look at the sleeping boy.
1.邏輯上的主謂關系
*sleeping boy: the boy is sleeping *
2.可以換成定語從句
*Look at the boy who is sleeping. *

動名詞做定語:
沒有邏輯上的主謂關系
不能轉換成定語從句
Please wait for me in the reading room.

Passing planes can be heard night and day.
這句話中的passing是現(xiàn)在分詞做了前置定語
passing planes: planes are passing.
Planes which are passing can be heard night and day.

The airport was built years ago, but for some reason it could not be used then.

for some reason:由于某種原因

however 句首疗垛,句中症汹;用逗號隔開
come into use:投入使用
go out of use: 不再使用
use:n. [ ju:s ]
use:v. [ ju:z ]

Over a hundred people must have been driven away from their homes by the noise.
