四. 重点、难点、考点及疑点注释:
1. Over here! Don’t you remember me? (P11)过来!你不记得我了吗?
(1)over here相当于come over here,意为“过来”。
(2)remember的反义词是forget,两者用法相同,后面可跟名词,动名词或动词不定式。
◎remember/forget
doing sth.表示“记得/忘记做过某事”,强调事情已经做了。
I remember posting your letter. 我记得替你寄过信了。
They forget locking the door. 他们忘记锁过门了。
◎remember/forget to
do sth.表示“记得/忘记去做某事”,强调事情还未做。

2. Wow! People sure change. (P11)哇!人确实是会变的。
句中的sure用作副词,意为“确实”,“无疑”。sure一词更常见于以下用法和句型:
◎表示“可以”,“当然”,“没问题”,常用来答应他人的请求,相当于 Yes. / OK. /Great. /Certainly. /Of course.
—Did you have a good
trip?旅途愉快吗?
—Sure. /Of course. 当然。
—Would you like to
go with us?愿意和我们一起去吗?
—Sure. /Certainly. 好啊。
◎be sure about/of意为“确信,对……有把握”,后接名词,代词或v-ing形式,表示对客观事物有肯定的认识和判断,主语必须是人。

room number.

It’s sure to rain tomorrow. 明天一定会下雨。
She is sure to understand much more than before. 她一定比以前懂得更多了。
试比较下面两句:
The old woman is sure to live to more than ninety.
这位老太太肯定可以活到九十多岁。
The old woman is sure of living to more than ninety.
这位老太太相信自己可以活到九十多岁。
◎be sure to 用于祈使句时,是“务必”,“一定”的意思。
Be sure to review the text after class. 课后务必复习课文。
Be sure to come tomorrow,everyone. 大家明天一定要来。
◎be sure接that从句时,意为“认为……一定会”,主语必须是人,连词that可以省略。be sure后面还可以接由whether, where, when或who等引导的名词性从句,这时主句通常是否定形式。

魔力纠错
他简直不知道说什么好,是吗?
误:He hardly knows
what to say, doesn’t he?
正:He hardly knows
what to say, does he?
魔力解析
hardly本身含有否定意义,构成反意疑问句时,后半部分要用肯定形式。类似的词有few, little, never, none, nobody, nothing等。
特别提示
hardly不是hard的副词形式,两者是完全不相关的两个词。
7. Now, I don’t mind them. (P14)现在我不介意它们了。
动词mind的基本含义是“介意,反对”,后面接名词或动名词。
