3. lie on one’s back 仰臥(臉朝上)
補充:
(1) lie on one’s stomach:俯臥(臉朝下)。
(2) lie in bed:臥床,通常指生病或睡覺。
(3) lie on the bed:躺在床上,通常指短暫的時間,不是在睡覺,強調在床上這個地點。

4. With + N, S + V... 因為(有)

with + N表示「因為、由於」,作為副詞,
注意 with + N 常用於肯定句;否定句則通常用 without + N


5.在某些慣用的搭配語中,可數名詞前面不加冠詞,也不用複數形。這類的搭配語除了本句中的be put into hospital以外,尚有go to school/work, stay in/get out of bed, be out of work, go by bus/taxi/plane等。

6.pass為動詞,在此解釋為「(時間)經過」之意,而past一字雖亦為「過去;經過」之意,卻是形容詞或副詞,兩者不可混淆。
Ex:  A week passed, and I still felt uncomfortable.
→ A week went past, and I still felt uncomfortable.

7. make sure that S + V/of sth. 確定;確認

  • We have to make sure that the boss gets the important message.
  • Thomas would feel sorry--she would make sure of that.
8.on one elbow 靠一邊手肘支撐
  • The baby can walk, but sometimes she is still on all fours(雙手雙膝支撐)

9. S + seem (+ to be) + adj. 似乎……
  → The nurse seemed to be surprised.
  • Mom seemed a bit angry when she learned that I would be coming back home late.
seem為連綴動詞,後面接形容詞。其他常用的連綴動詞有appear, become, turn, get, remain, go等。
  • The situation became worse and worse.
  • The leaves on the maple trees in the park start to turn red in early October.
  • The student got sick frequently.
  • The king wanted to remain young forever, so he set out in search of a wonder drug.
  • Don’t drink the milk because it has gone sour.

10.在本課用法中 現在分詞(V-ing)主動用法,意為「令人……的」;過去分詞(p.p.)為被動用法,解釋為「(某人)感到……的」。例:

   • My test result was disappointing.
   The teacher was disappointed.The speech was boring.
   The audience felt bored.

11. too...to... 太……以致於不能……

注意 含此句型的句子中雖然沒有not,但句子的意思是否定的。此句型可以用so...that... +否定字替換。
    • Johnny is too young to stay home alone.
     → Johnny is so young that he can’t stay home alone.
12. say a word 說出話
    (1) have a word 講一下話
        • I know you are busy, but can I have a word/a few words with you?
    (2) put in a (good) word for someone 為某人說好話
