句式精讲
1. Are you ready for your trip?
be / get ready for sth.表示“为……做准备”。get sth. ready意为“把某物准备好”。例如：
The students are getting ready for the test. 学生们在为考试做准备。
Please get your school things ready. 请把学习用具准备好。
I will get the lunch ready. 我会把午餐准备好。
【拓展】
（1）be/get ready to do sth. 表示“准备做某事”。例如：
Are you ready to go fishing? 你准备好去钓鱼了吗？
（2）be always ready to do表示“乐于做某事”。 例如：
She is always ready to help others. 她总是乐于助人。
2. I’m going on Cuba on business tonight.
be going此处为“现在进行时表将来”。现在进行时表将来主要用于表示按计划或安排将要发生的动作，常有“意图”“安排”或“打算”的含义。这种现在进行时比较生动，给人一种期待感。go, come, leave等表示位移的动词，都可以用于现在进行时表将来。例如：
He is going. 他要走了。
I’m coming. 我要来了。
Tom is leaving. 汤姆要走了。
3. I don’t think I will have any long conversations in Spanish.
… think后所加的从句是宾语从句，意为“……认为……”。例如：
I think he is a good boy. 我认为他是一个好孩子。
【拓展】
（1）当think后接的宾语从句为含有not的否定句时，该否定应移至主句，即否定主句的谓语动词。例如：I don’t think it will rain tomorrow. 我认为明天不会下雨。
I don’t think you are right. 我认为你不对。
（2）…think后经常用it作形式宾语，即“… think it(形式宾语) + adj. + for sb. + 动词不定式”意为“某人认为……如何”。例如：
Do you think it useful for us to read more books? 你认为我们多读书有用吗？
4. There are even more people, like some in Europe as well as in China and Japan, who study English as a foreign language.
as well as常用来连接两个并列的成分，作“也，还”解。它强调的是前一项，后一项只是顺便提及。因此连接并列主语时，谓语动词与前一项一致；翻译时要先译后面，再译前面。例如：
Your family as well as you is friendly to me.
不仅你而且你的家人也对我很友好。
【拓展】
（1）as well as 用来表示同级比较，指“和……一样好”。例如：
You can do as well as your father if you work hard.
如果你努力的话，你会和你爸爸做的一样好。
（2）as well常用作状语, 作“又；也”解, 相当于too或also, 常位于句末, 无须用逗号与句子分开。
4
例如：She gave me a piece of paper, and a pen as well.
她给了我一张纸还有一支钢笔。
5. It’s very difficult for me to remember new words.
It is / was + adj. + to do sth. 意为“做某事是……的”，to do sth.为句子的真正的主语，在这个结构中，it是形式主语，真正的主语是后面的不定式。例如：
To learn English is not easy. = It’s not easy to learn English. 学英语不容易。
【拓展】
（1） It’s + adj. + for sb. to do sth.这一结构中，形容词是表示做某事的“性质、特征”，这类形容词有：important，easy，difficult，hard，necessary等。
（2）It’s + adj. + of sb. to do sth.这一结构中，形容词是表示人的“品质”，这类形容词有：kind，wise，clever，good，foolish等。例如：
It’s kind of you to say so. 你这样说真是太善良了。
It’s necessary for you to do more exercise. 多锻炼对你来说是必要的。
6. …but it seemed that I haven’t made any progress.
It seems that…句型实质上是“主＋系＋表”结构。其中it是人称代词，并无实意，指的是某种情况，seems为连系动词，that / as if 引导表语从句。
It seems that …表示“看起来……”。强调根据一定的事实所得出的一种接近于实际情况的判断，可以表示事实。（可以转换成“名词或代词 ＋ seem ＋动词不定式”句型，其意不变，如果动词不定式为“to be ＋形容词”时，to be往往省略。）
It seems that it is more difficult for women to get to the top of the company.
妇女似乎更难提升到公司的最高职位。
It seems that no one knows what has happened in the park.
=No one seems to know what has happened in the park.
似乎没有人知道在公园里发生了什么事。
It seems to me that he has known everything.
=He seems to have known everything.
在我看来他似乎什么事都知道了。
It seems to me that Mr. White will not come again.
依我看，怀特先生不会再来了。
It seems that she is happy. 她似乎很高兴。
