一、交际用语
Look out!Be careful!Take care!
这三句都是表示警告的交际用语,句末都用感叹号。类似的表示警告的用语
还有:
Watch out!留神!Mind out!小心!Mind!注意!
二、单词和词组
1.catch fire
1)catch fire是动词词组,意思是“着火”,当表示事物自身的一种属性时,
无被动结构。
例如:
The house caught fire while they were away.当他们不在的时候,那房子着
火了。
As the wood is wet,it won’t catch fire.
因为这木头是潮的,它不会起火。
2)catch fire和 be on fire都可以译作“着火”,但前者指一刹那的动作,
后者指持续的状态。试比较:
The paper caught fire a moment ago.
The pan has been on fire for about three seconds.
2.might
1)如果说话人指的是可能发生的事,就可用“may,might或 could+动
词”结构。例如:
The pan might get burnt and you might drop the pan of burning oil.
2)用may表示可能的语气比might强些,might又比 could强些。
3. in that case
in that case是介词短语,实际所包含的内容是虚拟的条件,相当于:if that
happens。虚拟条件有时可用介词短语表示,这个介词短语的含义,要根据上下
文来判断。如本课对话中的 in that case可理解为“If you got burnt and dropped the
pan of burning oil…”
三、句型
If you are trapped by fire in the building,you may have to return to your
room.
这是含有 if条件状语从句的复合句。条件是指某一事情完成之后其他事情始
能发生。if通常的意思是“假如”,后面有时跟 then(那么)。主句中的may,
表示一种可能性,也可以用might或 could代替。但表示“可能”的语气没有
may强。

【讲解设计】
一、篇章结构
1.中心思想
A fire broke out on February 4th,1974 in Sao Paulo’s newest building.The
fire started on the 11th floor.Below the 11th floor people were able to
escape.However,more than 300 people were trapped above the fire because the
building was built without any fire escapes.Though firefighters tried their
best,over 220 people lost their lives and the whole building was destroyed.
2.段落大意
The whole text can be divided into two parts.
Part 1(Para.1)The result of the fire
Part 2(Para.2-6):The details of the fire
二、单词和词组
1.belong to
belong to意思为“属于”,没有被动结构,也不可用于进行时态。例如:
The dlctionary belongs to me(不可说 isbelong to).
2.Put out
意思是“扑灭,吹灭”如:
He put out the light/lamp and went out.
他吹灭了灯,出去了。
It took the firemen 4 hours to put out the fire.消防队员花了 4小时扑灭了大
火。
3.escape
escape意思是“逃跑,漏出,逃避”,可作动词和名词用。例如:
This will help to prevent the gas(from)escaping from the pipe.这将有助于
防止煤气从管道里逸出。
There is no way to escape being punished by the law.没有办法逃避法律的惩
罚。
When the earthquake happened,he had anarrow escape.地震发生时,他幸
免于难。(本例中。escape为名词,词组 fire escape意思为“安全梯”)。
4. lose one’s life
意思是“丧生”。例如:
It is reported that nearly 40 people lost their lives when the Rainbow Bridge in
Sichuan Province suddenly broke down.据报道近 40人在四川的彩虹桥突然倒塌
时丧生。
Diana lost her life in the car accident in1997.黛安娜在 1997年的一次车祸中
丧生。
三、句型
1.Over 500 people were working in thebuilding when the fire broke out.
该句是一个含有过去进行时的主从复合从句。break out意思是“火灾,争吵
等突然发生,战争爆发”等,没有被动语态形式。例如:
A war broke out between the United Statesand Iraq in November in 1998 and it
lasted only4 days.美国和伊拉克之间在 1998年 11月爆发了一场只持续了 4天的
战争。
A quarrel broke out among the six blindmen and at last no one agreed with each
other.六位盲人之间爆发了一场争吵,最终没人同意相互的观点。
2.Soon the whole floor was on fire and it wasimpossible for people on the
floors above toescape.
1)for people on the floors above to escape是真正的主语,it是形式主语。for
people on thefloors above这一部分表示的是不定式 to escape这个动作是由谁发
出的。概括地说,for sb.todo sth.是一个不定式的复合结构。有时候,不需要指
出或不知道不定式是由谁发出的动作,就不加 for sb.(如上句)。例如:
It is important for young people to read alot.对于年轻人来说,大量阅读是重
要的。
试比较:
Is it important to practice reading aloud?
练习朗读重要吗?
2)above在这里是副词,意为“在上方;上文”,修饰名词时,常放在名
词后面。它的反义词是 below。下文 In the streets below中 below的用法和 on the
floors above中的 above用法是一样的。
3.The fire lasted about four hours before thefirefighters could control it.
这是一个带有 before引导的时间状语从句的主从复合句,before的基本含
义是“在…之前”。但是实际翻译时,经常译成“……才,还没有……就……”
例如:
He had been writing the book for four hoursbefore he realized that it was
midnight.他写书一直写了 4小时才意识到已是半夜。
He interrupted me before I had time toexplain.我还来不及解释,他就打断了
我。
四、语法
一般进行时和过去进行时
1)一般过去时
(1)一般过去时主要表示过去某个时间发生的动作和情况,它包括过去的
习惯性动作,谓语动词用过去式,一般句子中要有过去的时间状语。例如:
The fire destroyed the whole forest in Jan,1983.
When did you get the book?
(2)有时过去的时间状语是通过上下文表现出来的,这时要特别注意理解
上下文和句子所用的语境。例如:
Where did you go then?那么你去了那里呢?
My grandpa was a businessman.我祖父那时是个商人。(暗示祖父已不在世
或现已不再经商了)
(3)表示过去一连串动作。例如:
I took out the key,opened the door,turnedon the light and sat down on a
chair.
2)过去进行时
(1)过去进行时由 be的过去式和现在分词构成,主要强调过去某个时刻
正在进行的动作,一般句中有表示过去时间的状语。例如:
I was having supper at seven last night.
We were watching TV from 8 p.m.to 10p.m.the day before yesterday.
(2)有时句中没有表示过去的状语,但通过上下文能看出是某时正在进行
的动作。
When the bell rang,the students weredoing the exercises.
It was snowing hard and it was even colder.
雪正下得大,天气也更冷了。
