跟读心得日记:
1、Right, well, for our presentation, shall I start with the early life of Thor Heyerdahl?(C10 Test2 Par3第1句)
Sure. Why don't you begin with describing the type of boy he was, especially his passion for collecting things? (C10 Test2 Par3第2句)
今天跟读的这两句话中,一个用了start with, 另一个用了begin with,两者的意思,差不多,很多情况下,似乎也可以通用。
只是start with 更口语化和非正式,begin with 稍正式和书面化
to start with 还可表示"首先、第一、起初",作时间状语,而没有to begin with的用法。
2、Yeah, he preferred to learn about nature by listening to his mother read to him. (C10 Test2 Par3第5句)
listen to someone do sth 是一个固定搭配,表示"听某人做某事“,这个表示听到了全过程,
而还有一个listen to someone doing sth, 表示听到某人正在做某事,只是其中的一个时刻。
这个结构与 see/watch/hear/feel sb. do sth. 等感官动词用法一致。
3、And quite early on, he knew he wanted to become an explorer when he grew up. (C10 Test2 Par3第6句)
early on 是一个固定短语,表示早期的时候,强调时间或事件进程的"初期阶段",多用于过去时态或完成时态
比如 :She realized the problem early on in the project.
4、I guess they needed that knowledge in order to live wild in a remote location with few inhabitants, cut off by the sea (Q24), which is what they were aiming to do. (C10 Test2 Par3第11句)
live wild表示在居住在野外的意思,在这里wild用作副词了
