高考临近,小编为大家准备了些高考短语及其用法和搭配,希望大家能从中获益!
1. begin to do sth 开始做某事。如:
Soon it began to rain. 不久天就开始下雨了。
He sat down at the desk and began to write. 他在桌子前坐下就开始写了起来。
2. began doing sth 开始做某事。如:
He began doing this job last year. 他去年开始做这工作。
He began teaching English at the age of 18. 他18岁开始教英语。
注:以上两类结构有时可互换,而意思不变。如:
Then he began telling [to tell] us a story. 然后他开始给我们讲故事。(from www.nmet168.com)
两类结构能互换的场合主要限于那些有意志的动词,而对于那些无意志的动词(如那些表示感觉或心理活动的动词以及主语是无生命的东西时),通常用不定式,很少用动名词。如:
The ice began to melt. 冰开始融化。
I began to understand this situation. 我开始了解情况。
另外若 begin 本身为 -ing 形式,其后通常也接不定式。如:
I’m beginning to feel better, thank you. 我渐渐感到好些了,谢谢你。
不过,若主语是指天气的 it, 其后可接不定式或动名词。如:
It began raining [to rain]. 开始下雨了。
3. begin with sth [by doing sth] 以做某事开始。如:
Knowledge begins with practice. 知识始于实践。
He began by telling us a story. 他先给我讲了个故事。
注:有时 begin 后可以有宾语。如:
He began his talk with an apology. 他开始讲话时先作了一番道歉。
4. to begin with 首先,在开始。如:
We can’t go. To begin with, it’s too cold. Besides, we’ve no money. 我们不去了,首先是太冷了, 另外我们又没有钱。
The factory was quite a small one to begin with. 这家工厂开始是一家很小的厂。
