bring sb. up to 使某人达到(某个水平或程度)语法点1. 直接引语和间接引语:
- 直接引语是直接引用别人的原话,通常用引号括起来。例如:“I don’t even know the name of the first president of the United States,” she told us. 以及 “It was George Washington!” we all shouted.
- 间接引语是用自己的话转述别人的话,不需要引号。在转述时,需要注意时态、人称等的变化。例如:Miss Daisy said she was really sorry, but she didn’t know anything at all about social studies and that we would have to help her. 这里将 Miss Daisy 的原话“I don’t know anything at all about social studies and you will have to help me.”转述为间接引语时,时态由一般现在时变为一般过去时(didn't know, would have to),人称也根据语境进行了相应的调整。
2. 过去进行时:
- 过去进行时表示过去某个时刻或时间段正在进行的动作,其结构为“was/were + 现在分词”。例如:One day I caught her looking at a piece of paper, and her eyes were moving back and forth like she was watching a Ping - Pong game. 这句话中,“was looking”和“were moving”都是过去进行时,说明在“我”看到她的那个时候,她正在看纸,眼睛正在来回移动。
3. 一般过去时:
- 一般过去时用于表示过去发生的动作或存在的状态。例如:Monday at school, we had social studies. 这里的“had”是“have”的过去式,表示过去上了社会研究这门课。
4. 宾语从句:
- 宾语从句是在句子中充当宾语的从句。例如:If it turns out that Miss Daisy really doesn’t know anything. 这句话中,“if”引导的是条件状语从句,“that Miss Daisy really doesn’t know anything”是宾语从句,作“turns out”的宾语。在这个宾语从句中,时态使用了一般现在时,表示客观事实。
总的来说,这些语法点在文档中通过具体的语境进行了运用,帮助表达了故事中的情节和人物的对话。理解这些语法点可以更好地理解文档的含义。如果你还有其他疑问,请随时提问。
文中出现的逻辑关系
1. 因果关系:
- 因为Miss Daisy说自己对社会研究一无所知,所以学生们告诉她美国第一任总统是乔治·华盛顿。
- 因为“我”看到Miss Daisy的眼睛像在看乒乓球比赛一样来回移动,且她在看一张纸,所以“我”怀疑她在阅读。
2. 转折关系:
- Miss Daisy说自己不知道美国第一任总统的名字,但当学生们说出是乔治·华盛顿时,她却眨眼说从未听说过,这里存在一种转折,暗示她可能是在假装不知道。
3. 假设关系:
- 文档中假设如果Miss Daisy真的什么都不知道,“我”会为她感到有点难过,并表示会教她知识。同时也假设如果全班一起努力,到年底可能会使她达到二年级的水平,但也指出这不会很容易。
这些逻辑关系推动了故事的发展,展现了学生对Miss Daisy的看法和他们之间的互动。
文中的故事模式
1. 提出问题:Miss Daisy表示自己对社会研究一无所知,甚至不知道美国第一任总统的名字,而且“我”怀疑她明明会阅读却假装不会。
2. 发展问题:通过具体事例,如Miss Daisy对乔治·华盛顿的回应以及她对阅读的否认,进一步展现她的“无知”或“假装无知”的行为,引发读者对她真实情况的好奇。
3. 解决问题(或尝试解决问题):“我”表示如果Miss Daisy真的什么都不知道,同学们会帮助她学习,试图提升她的知识水平,尽管意识到这将是一项艰难的任务。
整个故事围绕着Miss Daisy的“无知”展开,通过学生们的反应和行动来推动情节的发展,同时也留下了一些悬念,让读者思考Miss Daisy到底是真的无知还是有其他原因。
