interesting和interested都是形容詞,但用法不同。interesting意為“有趣的”,其主語(yǔ)通常是事物;interested意為 “感興趣的”,其主語(yǔ)通常是人,be interested in(doing)sth.意為“對(duì)(做)某事感興趣”。例如:
That question is really interesting.那個(gè)問(wèn)題十分有趣。
I am interested in skating and I spend a lot of time on it.我對(duì)滑冰感興趣,并且在滑冰上花了很多時(shí)間。
【知識(shí)拓展】
interest用作名詞時(shí),意為“興趣;趣味”。interest用作動(dòng)詞時(shí),意為“使感興趣;使關(guān)注”。例如:
Henry's interests are listening to music and playing tennis.亨利的興趣是聽(tīng)音樂(lè)和打網(wǎng)球。
Politics doesn't interest me.我對(duì)政治不感興趣。
ago意為“以前”,只作副詞,一般放在表示時(shí)間段的詞語(yǔ)之后。before用作副詞時(shí),可單獨(dú)使用,意為“以前”;也可以用作介詞或連詞,意為“在……以前”。例如:
Two years ago,he was still a student.兩年前,他還是個(gè)學(xué)生。
Li Ming usually gets up before 7:30.李明通常七點(diǎn)半之前起床。
I didn't know much about Hangzhou before I went there.在去杭州之前,我對(duì)那兒不怎么了解。
shout作動(dòng)詞,意為“呼叫;喊叫”,常與介詞at或to連用。shout at sb.表示“生氣地或敵意地對(duì)某人大喊大叫”;shout to sb.表示“大聲叫某人”或“大聲對(duì)某人說(shuō)話”,以引起別人的注意,無(wú)辱罵或生氣的意思。例如:
The little girl got very dirty and her mother shouted at her.這個(gè)小女孩很臟,她媽媽沖她大聲叫喊。
She shouted to me,but I didn't hear her.她大聲叫我,但我沒(méi)有聽(tīng)到。
thousand意為“千”,當(dāng)其前面有具體數(shù)字時(shí),thousand后面不加“s”,用來(lái)修飾復(fù)數(shù)名詞;當(dāng)thousand前面沒(méi)有具體數(shù)字時(shí),thousand后要加“s”。常用短語(yǔ)為thousands of,意為“成千上萬(wàn)的”,表示不確定的數(shù)量,修飾復(fù)數(shù)名詞。例如:
The new computer cost me four thou-sand yuan.這臺(tái)新電腦花了我4,000元。
Thousands of people come to visit the Terracotta Army every year.每年都有成千上萬(wàn)的人來(lái)參觀兵馬俑。
among是介詞,意為“在……中;……之一”,表示在三者或三者以上的人或物之中,后面常接復(fù)數(shù)名詞、代詞或集合名詞;between多指在兩者之間,其賓語(yǔ)往往是表示兩者意義的名詞或代詞,或是由and連接的兩個(gè)人或物。例如:
John isthe tallestboy among the three.約翰是那三個(gè)男孩中最高的。
Xi'an is among the most beautiful cities in China.西安是中國(guó)最漂亮的城市之一。
