背景知识简介

本单元课文 The Merchant of Venice 是根据英国作家威廉莎士比亚 (William Shakespeare)的同名作品改编而成。

《威尼斯商人》写商人安东尼奥为了帮助朋友巴萨尼奥成婚,向高利贷者夏洛克转借现金。夏洛克出于嫉妒,以到期不还可以割安东尼奥身上一磅肉为条件把钱借给了他。安东尼奥因破产到期无法偿还借款,夏洛克坚持照约处罚,巴萨尼奥未婚妻鲍西娅乔装打扮成律师出庭,终于击败夏洛克。《威尼斯商人》是莎士比亚早期的重要作品,大约写于 1596 - 1597 。

安东尼奥是本剧中的肯定形象,他高尚正直、坦白直率,热心为善、多情尚义、心肠仁慈、重视友谊。当夏洛克坚持要从他身上割下一磅肉时,他虽然为朋友遭杀身之祸,却毫无怨言,仍以朋友的幸福为重。

鲍西亚是莎士比亚理想中的资产阶级新女性,是作者竭力称颂的人物。她渴望个人幸福,追求以爱情为基础的婚姻;她选择丈夫的条件不是门第和财富,而是个人的人品相貌和才能。她她通情练达,有胆有略,淳朴贤淑,而又乐观俏皮。在法庭上,面对强手,她胸有成竹,气概非凡,有条不紊,欲擒故纵。

夏洛克是一个拜金注意者,对金钱贪得无厌,冷酷无情,吝啬卑鄙。

莎士比亚是欧洲文艺复兴时期英国杰出的戏剧家和诗人,也是世界文学史上最杰出的作家之一。他的作品是人类文化史上的珍品。他的作品Hamlet 《哈姆雷特》,Romeo and Juliet 《罗密欧与朱丽叶》等反映了当时社会的现实,表达了人文主义的社会政治思想。

(32) However, Shylock agreed to lend Antonio the money on one condition.

on one condition 作“规定一个条件”解。其条件就是下一句的“如果 …… 就 ”。此词组也可以用 on condition that 来代替。如:… to lend Antonio the money on condition that Antonio made a promise . 作“只有 …… 条件下”, on condition that = only if “条件是 ……”,“如果 ……”(= if ), 是从属连词,引导条件状语从句,但它比 if 更正式。例如:

He was allowed to go swimming on condition that he kept near the other children.

You may borrow the book on condition that you do not lend it to anyone else.

I don‘t mind lending you my car on condition that you return it to me before tomorrow.

You must on no condition tell him what has happened. 你在任何情况下都不可以把发生的事情告诉他。

当 on no condition 放置句首时,主谓进行倒装。

On no condition can he travel alone.

(33) It is useless trying to argue with Shylock. 试图跟夏洛克讲道理是没有用的。

① 在这个句型中 it 是形式主语,后面的动名词或者动名词短语是真正的主语。能以动名词作主语的这类句子比较少,主要用在以 no point , no use , no good 等作表语的句子中。例如:

It‘s no use talking without acting. = It’s useless talking without acting. 光说不干是没有用的。

② it 作形式主语用在 it‘s a waste of time + ing 的句子中。例如:

It’s just a waste of time talking to him.

③ 动名词作主语还用于 there + be + no use ( good , point ) + ing 句型中,例如:

There‘s no use talking about it. = It’s no use talking about it.

(34) If you offered me six times what you have just offered, I would still take my pound of flesh. 即使你愿意给我六倍于刚才提出的钱数,我仍要我应得到的那一磅肉。

times 在此表示三倍以上的倍数。用 times 表示“甲是乙的几倍大(长、宽、高等)”,“甲比乙大(长、高、宽等)几倍”,可以用下列句型:

① A is … times the size ( length , height , width ) of B

This street is four times the length of that one. 这条街是那条街的 4 倍长。(= 这条街比那条街长 3 倍。)

This river is five times the length of that stream. 这条河有那条小溪五倍长。

This railway is twice longer than that one. 这条铁路比那条长两倍。

动词不定式“注意点”

动词不定式的基本形式是“to + 动词原形”,有时可不加 to。下面主要就不定式在使用时需注意的几个方面加以说明:

Ⅰ动词不定式作主语时,如果要说明不定式所表示的动作是谁做的,可在不定式前加 for 引起的短语。但是当形容词是 nice , kind , clever , foolish 等表是主语的性质时,用 of 。例如:

It’s very important for us to learn English well.

It‘s very nice of you to do so.

Ⅱ 可接不定式作宾语的动词主要有 want , like , wish , prefer , hope , try , start , decide , agree , forget , learn 等。例如:

She wanted to borrow my bike.

They decided to try again.

但有些动词或短语后须接动名词作宾语,这些词主要有 finish , enjoy , mind , keep , keep on , feel , like 等。例如:

He can finish drawing a horse in five minutes.

Ⅲ 有些动词后既可接不定式,也可接动名词,但意义有别。现将常见动词辨别如下:

like + 不定式表示具体动作,后接动名词表示一般性、习惯性动作。例如:

I’d like to play football this afternoon. (指今天下午这一次)

I like playing football. (指我的爱好)

forget / remember +不定式表示“忘记 / 记住要去做某事”,接动名词表示“忘记 / 记得做过某事”。例如:

Don‘t forget to close the door when you leave. 别忘了离开时把门关上。

stop +不定式表示“停下正在进行的动作进行下一个动作”,接动名词表示“停止正在做的动作”。例如:

We stopped working at noon. 我们在中午时停止工作。

We’ve worked all the morning. Let‘s stop to have a rest. 我们干一上午了,停下来休息一会儿吧。

Ⅳ 有些“be + 形容词”结构需用不定式作状语,这些形容词主要有 sorry , glad , ready , angry 等。例如:

I’m sorry to hear your mother is ill.

Ⅴ 介词后接动名词作宾语,不接不定式。例如:

What about going out for a walk?

Ⅵ 不定式符号须省略或不可省略的特例:

在 hear , see , watch , notice , make , let , feel等动词后作宾补的不定式要省去 to。但在被动语态中,省去的 to 须补出。help 后动词可加 to 亦可不加。例如:

They made that man work in the morning.

Let me see you play.

That man was made to work all the morning.

Why not , had better 后不定式须省去 to。

当一个不定式结构被省略时,to 须保留下来,以代表被省去的不定式结构。例如:

- Would you like to go with me?

- I‘d love to.

Ⅶ 感观动词后作宾补的现在分词和不定式的区别:

不定式作宾补表示动作已发生过了。用现在分词则表示动作与谓语所表示的动作同时进行。例如:

I heard him singing when I passed his room just now. 刚才我路过他房间时,我听到他在唱歌。

I saw him go into that house. (他已在屋里)

Ⅷ 动词不定式的否定式是在 to 前加 not 。例如:

Tell him not to be late.

Ⅸ 不定式可以和疑问词 what , which , how , where , when 等连用,这一结构可用来简化宾语从句。例如:

I don’t know when we‘ll leave. =I don’t know when to leave.

Ⅹ 慎用句尾的不定式

及物的不定式需加宾语。但用于句尾的不定式有时虽然是及物的,然而后面并不带宾语。这是由于在句首或句中已有其逻辑宾语,这时不定式后就不应再跟宾语了(带双宾语动词除外)。若不定式是不及物时,需加上适当的介词或副词。例如:

The box is too heavy for me to carry. ( carry 后不可再加 it )

He is looking for a house to live in.

动词不定式的句法作用

动词不定式具有名词、形容词和副词的特征,同时也有动词的特征。它在句中可以作:

Ⅰ 作主语

有时用 it 作形式主语放在句首,把不定式短语放在后面。如:

To learn English well is very important.

It‘s very important to learn English well.

- How long does it take you to get to the airport?

- It takes me 30 minutes to get to the airport.

Ⅱ 作宾语

Do you want to have a cup of coffee?

在介词 but , except 之后常用不定式作宾语。介词前如果有 to do 的某种形式时,其后的不定式一般不带 to 。如:

Last Sunday she did nothing else but do something sewing. 上个星期天她除了做了点针线活外,别的什么也没有做。

在 can not but , cannot choose but , can not help but 这类短语动词后的不定式通常也不带 to 。如:

I cannot help but tell the truth. 我不得不说实话。

Ⅲ 作宾语补足语

She asks me to come home as soon as possible.

Ⅳ 作表语

The biggest problem is how to make full use of our time and money.

Ⅴ 作状语

不定式可以作目的、原因、结果、方式状语等。

They worked very hard, only to get little money. (结果状语)

He stood up as if to say something.

only + 不定式表达未能预料到的结果状语。而 only + ing 表达必然的结果。如:

He hurried home, only to find his house broken into.

Ⅵ 作定语

Xiao Lin is always the first to come to the office.

注意作定语的不定式是不及物动词时,后面要相应的介词。

Finally they found a comfortable room to live in.

Ⅶ 作独立成分。to tell the truth 说实话,to be frank 坦率地说,to be sure 可以肯定地说。

To tell you the truth (= To tell the truth, Truth to tell you), I don’t agree with you.

To be sure, some of them will say no.

知识的运用与讲解

Ⅰ 如何突破作结果状语的分词和不定式

NMET 98 试题中有这样一道单项填空题

European football is played in 80 countries, ____ it the most popular sport in the world.

A. making B . makes C . made D . to make

该题意在考查作结果状语的分词和不定式的不同用法。分词和不定式都可以用作结果状语,而且一般都位于主句之后。许多考生对此区分不清而误选答案D。现就二者的不同用法作一简单分析。

ⅰ一、分词作结果状语,通常表示一个自然而然的、意料之中的结果,是主句谓语动词动作的直接结果。例如:

① His parents died, leaving him an orphan. 父母去世了,他成为孤儿。

② He ran faster than ever, reaching the school quite out of breath. 他跑得更快了,结果到学校时已上气不接下气。

③ He cut off the electricity quickly, preventing an accident. 他迅速切断了电源,防止了一起意外事故。

④ The glass fell to the ground, broken to pieces. 杯子掉在地上,打成了碎片。

ⅱ二、不定式作结果状语,通常表示继谓语动词动作之后发生的一个相反或出乎意料之外的结果,常表达“没想到……”、“结果却……”、“不料……”等意思。其前常加 only 以强调这一意外结果。例如:

⑤ I called at her home, only to find the door locked. 我去过她家,结果却发现其房门紧锁着。

⑥ He hurried to the station, only to be told the train had gone. 他匆忙赶到车站,不料被告知火车已经开走了。

⑦ They lifted a rock only to have it drop on their own feet. 他们搬起石头,结果却砸了自己的脚。

⑧ It took her nearly half a year to find his address, only to learn that he had passed away ten years before. 她用了近半年的时间找到了他的地址,结果却得知他已在十年前去世了。

从以上的分析可以看出,上述试题中句意为“八十个国家都踢欧式足球,结果使其成为世人最喜欢的运动。”这是一种自然而然的结果,故正确答案应为A。大家可试作下面的一组练习:

1. The water of a hot spring (温泉) carries many dissolved minerals, usually ____ the water an unusual taste and smell.

A. to give B . gives C . to be given D . giving

2. Mr. Brown returned to his office after a holiday, only ____ broken into.

A. to find it had been B . to find it had

C . finding it had been D . finding it was

Key: 1. D 2. A

Ⅱ 不定式作定语时的主动式与被动式

动词不定式在英语教材中是比较重要的语法现象。但在教学过程中,发现学生对不定式作定语时是用主动式还是用被动式,常常没有把握。现归纳如下,以利学生掌握。

(ⅰ)一、在下列情况,不定式用主动形式

① 不定式所修饰的名词与不定式有逻辑上的主谓关系(相当于定语从句)。例如:

He is not a man to bow before difficulties (= who will bow before difficulties).

Have you got a key to unlock the door (= which can unlock the door)?

This is the best book on the subject to appear this year (= that has appeared this year).

② 不定式与它修饰的名词有动宾关系,并且在句子中能找到不定式的逻辑主语。例如:

I have a lot of exercises to do today. (I 是 to do 的逻辑主语)

Do you have anything more to say? (you 是 to say 的逻辑主语)

Mother always gives her little son some toys to play with. (her little son 是 to play with 的逻辑主语)

③ 尽管句子中找不到不定式的逻辑主语,但不定式隐含“for sb . to do”结构的意思。例如:

This is the best book to read (= for us / you to read).

It is already time to start spring sowing (= for peasants to start spring sowing).

This will be a good opportunity to exchange experience (= for us to exchange experience).

④ 有些动词,后面常跟不定式作宾语,其同源名词常用不定式作定语,并且用主动形式。例如:

(He attempted to pass the test.) = He failed in his attempt to pass the test.

(Do you intend to go there? ) = Have you any intention to go there?

⑤ 有些形容词,后面常跟不定式,其同源名词也常和不定式作定语,并用主动形式。例如:

(He is determined to overcome the difficulty.)

In his speech he expressed his determination to overcome the difficulty.

(She was anxious to visit the Great Wall of China.)

We could see her anxiety to visit the Great Wall of China.

⑥ 在 “with + n . + to + v . ”结构中的不定式用主动形式。例如:

With nothing to do, I sat down watching TV.

He can‘t go out with all these clothes to wash.

(ⅱ) 在下列情况,不定式用被动形式

① 当句子中有 by 结构,明确了不定式动作的执行者时。例如:

It was the first such project to be designed by Chinese engineers.

This will be one of the highest buildings to be built by our company this year.

② 当不定式修饰的名词是将要做的事情时。例如:

The question to be discussed at the next meeting will be rather difficult.

(ⅲ) 当不定式所修饰的名词是“There be…”结构中的主语时,不定式可用主动式,也可用被动式,意义无甚区别

There are many problems to work out / to be worked out.

There is no time to lose / to be lost.
