He is nothing but happy. 他很高兴。(but 为半否定词,可以看作否定,双否定等于肯定。)

比较:He is anything but happy.他一点也不高兴。



26. be more +表语A than+表语 B 与其说是B,倒不如说是A

成功与其说是机遇,倒不如说是勤奋。

4) was/were about to 刚要……

注意: 此句型中,B句不能放在A句的前面, 而when作"当…时"时, 则可以。

I went into the room when he was reading.

34. What if+ 从句?:倘若……怎么办?

What if it rains?

这个句型省略了主句的部分成分,完整的句型为:

What (should we /I do) if it rains?

35. 动词+疑问副词+主语+may/will, 无论……

Say what you will, he will not listen to you.

Come what may, we well do it.无论发生什么事,我们都要做此事。

36. 倍数句型

1) 增加:

A) A is three times longer than B.

A is three times B.

A is three times as long as B

上述三句话的意思都是:A是B 的三倍(B=1, A=3)。

比较:A is three times longer than B. (B=1, A=3)

A is three meters longer than B. (B=1, A=3+1=4 meters)

Times 是乘号"×",第一句是"A以3乘以(B)的方式比B长,即:3×1。"第二句的意思是:"A以3米的方式比B长,即:3米+B"

类似的还有:



A has increased (by) three times. A增长了2倍(A以3乘以的方式增长,即:3×基数)。

A has increased by 300%. A增长了300%(A以300%方式增长,即:300%×基数+基数)。

但:

A has increased to 300%. A增长到了300%。(A=300%)

2) 英语中的倍数减少

汉语中,倍数不能说减少。因此,英语说减少了n倍,等于汉语还剩1/n (n分之一)。

A has dereased by three times. A减少到了3分之1。

A has dereased by 1.2 times. A减少到了6分之5 (A减少到了1.2分之1,即12分之10,约分为6分之5)。
