自学导读
1.…but I forgot to take them with me.……但是我忘了拿走。
forget to do sth.表示“忘了做某事”,them指两本字典。
2.put it on,戴上它。
这里的 it指 a hat,以避免重复。 put on是“戴上”、“穿上”的意思。如果它的宾语是一个名词,这个名词可放在 put on之后,也可放在put和on之间。如果是代词,就必须放在put和on 之间。如:
Put on your coat./Put your coat on.
穿上外衣。
但只能说:
Put it on.
把它穿上。
语法 Grammar in use
定语从句
定语从句像形容词一样起修饰作用,但位于所修饰的名词之后。定语从句由关系代词引导,紧跟在它所修饰的成分后面。关系代词 who,whom与 that修饰人,which与 that修饰东西。关系代词指代从句的主语或宾语,同时又充当连接词,把从句和主句连接起来。请看例句:
(1)
关系代词作从句的主语(who/which/that):
The dog which/that is carrying the basket is mine.
叼着篮子的那只狗是我的。
He's the porter who/that carried my suitcase.
他就是那个扛着我的衣箱的搬运工。
(2)关系代词作从句的宾语(whom/that/which):
They're the windows which/that the children broke yesterday.
这些就是孩子们昨天打碎的窗户。
She's the lady whom I served yesterday.
她就是我昨天服务过的那位女士。
