1. There is no point in doing sth.
There is no point (in) doing sth．表示“做某事沒有作用或沒有意義”, point為不可數名詞。如：
There is no point in arguing further.
繼續爭執下去沒有意義了。
There seems to be no point in protesting. It won’t help much.
抗議好象沒有什么用處，于事無補。
2. It was the first time that ...
It was the first time that ...表示“第一次做……”，從句用過去完成時。若主句是一般現在時(is)，則從句用現在完成時。如：

自從我學會下國際象棋以來，這是我第一次贏。
3. 形容詞或形容詞短語作狀語
英語中形容詞或形容詞短語可作狀語，說明主語行為的原因、方式、結果、伴隨狀況等。如：
4. have / find / want / ... sth. done
have / find / want / ... sth. done構成“動詞+賓語+過去分詞”結構，過去分詞作賓語補足語表示與賓語之間是被動關系。如：
She had her house damaged in the storm.
她的房屋在風暴中遭到了破壞。
When he arrived at the bank, he found the door closed.
當他到達銀行時，發現門已經關了。
We want the work finished by Saturday. 我們希望這份工作星期六前完成。
這樣動詞有很多，請看如下高考示例：
[高考示例1]
You should understand the traffic rule by now. You’ve had it ______ often enough. (天津2005)
A. explaining B. to explain C. explain D. explained
[高考示例2]
In the dream Peter saw himself ______ by a fierce wolf, and he woke suddenly with a start. (上海2006春)
5. neither ... nor ...
neither ... nor ... 是連詞詞組，表示“既不……也不……”，用來連接兩個并列成分。連接兩個并列分句時，都采用部分倒裝。如：
He neither knows nor cares what happened.
他對發生的事情不聞不問。
Neither do I know her address，nor does he.
我不知道她的地址，他也不知道。
[知識拓展]
neither ... nor ..., not ... but ..., not only ... but also ..., either ... or ..., or等連接兩個并列主語時, 謂語動詞應和鄰近的主語在數上取得一致。如：
Not you but your father is to blame.
不是你, 而是你父親應該被責備。
6. have sth. to do
這個句型中，不定式短語作后置定語，與被修飾名詞構成動賓關系。如：
I have some letters to type.
我有些信要打。
Ripe, the oranges taste sweet.
（表條件）這些橘子熟了，味道甜美。 |
