高考临近,小编为大家准备了些高考短语及其用法和搭配,希望大家能从中获益!
1. 单复数同形(永远有词尾-s)。若用作主语, 其谓语的数需根据句意来确定。比较:
All possible means have been tried. 所有可能的办法都已经试过了。
Every possible means has been tried. 每种可能的办法都已经试过了。
若句意不能明确地表明主语的单复数,其谓语则用单数或复数均可:
Is [Are] there any other means of doing it? 做这事还有其它的什么办法吗?
2. 表示以某种方式、方法或手段, 用介词by:
Only by this means can you do it well. 只有通过这种办法你才能做好此事。
有时用 by means of, 意为:用……, 依靠……:
Thoughts are expressed by means of words. 思想靠语言来表达。
3. 表示做某事的方法或手段, 多接“of+(动)名词”。如:
But they had no means of cooking them. 但是他们没有办法来把它们煮熟。
Taking a plane is the quickest means of getting there. 去那儿最快的办法是坐飞机。
