Boy1: And I don’t have a present. What if everyone brings a present? Girl1: If I were you, I’d wear a shirt and tie. Boy1: What if everybody else is wearing jeans and T-shirts?

1. bring 的意思是把某人或某物 “ 带来 ”, “ 拿来 ”, 强调方向, 即从别处拿到说话 人这儿来。 e.g. Next time you come, bring me that book, please. 下次你来的时候, 把那本书带来。 take 的意思是把人或物 “ 带走, 拿走 ”, Explanation

即从说话人这儿带到别处去。 e.g. Who has taken away today’s newspaper? 谁拿走了今天的报纸？ 另外, 相似的词还有 get 和 fetch, 表 示到某地找到某人或某物并带回来， 强调一去一回。 e.g.

Go and get some water. 去弄点水来。 Can you fetch me some paper ? 你能给我取点纸吗？ 2. He might not know anyone at the party. 他可能在晚会上谁也不认识。 might 的用法如下： (1) 情态动词 may 的过去式

e.g. He said that I might borrow his bike. 他说我可以借他的自行车。 (2) may 的虚拟语气形式, 不表示过去, 而表示现在或将来 “ 可以, 可能 ”, 但语 气更委婉、客气, 有时表示对可能性 有所怀疑。

e.g. a. Might I borrow your bike ? 我可能借你的自行车吗？ （语气比 may 更委婉） b. He might come today. 今天他可能会来。 （对 “ 他来 ” 的可能性有所怀疑）

Grammar focus 1. 虚拟语气：如果我们所说的不是事实, 也不是要求、命令、劝告等，而只是 一种假设、愿望、建议或是一种实现 不了的空想就用虚拟语气。 注意 : 条件句分两种, 真实条件句和虚 拟条件句。只有在虚拟 ( 非真实 ) 条件 句中, 才用虚拟语气, 而在真实条件句 中, 要用陈述语气。

(1). If it is sunny tomorrow, we’ll go to the zoo. 如果明天天气好, 我们将会去公园。 在这句话中, 明天天气好是完全有可 能实现的, 并非虚拟、幻想, 因此是真实 条件句。 请比较：

(2). If I were you, I would go at once. ( 如果我是你的话, 我立刻就走。 ) 这句话是条件句 “ 如果我是你 ”, 但事 实上, 我不可能成为你, 这只是假设 的情况, 没有实现的可能。当条件实 现的可能性很小, 甚至可以说没有时, 就需要用虚拟语气来表示, 动词发生 了变化。

也就是说虚拟语气表示和现实的事 实相反时，从句用一般过去时, 主 句用 “should/would/could/ might + 动词原形 ” 。

If I had time, I would go for a walk. If I were invited, I would go to the dinner party. If I won a million dollars in the lottery, I would put it in the bank.

2. He doesn’t know if he should bring a present. 此处 if 表示 “ 是否 ”, 引导宾语从句。 Should 此处表示 “ 应该 ”, 不是虚拟语 气。 e. g. ①. I don’t know if I should go to the party.

②. If I have enough money, I will go to Hainan. Present 在这是 “ 礼物 ” 的意思。 3. If I were you, I’d wear a shirt and tie. if 引导的条件状语从句表示与现在事 实相反的虚拟语气时, be 动词只能用 were, 而不能用 was 。

e. g. If he were here, he would not agree with you. 4. I don’t have a present. What if everyone else brings a present? What if… “ 如果 …… 怎么办 ? ” 相 当于 what would happen if… e. g. What shall I do if it snows?

Reading (3a: P28) I get nervous before big parties. 在大的晚会之前, 我会感到紧张。 get nervous 变得紧张, get 是系动 词, nervous 是形容词做表语。 又如 : be nervous 或 feel nervous 均可表达同样的含义。
