【Text】
As we had had a long walk through one of the markets of old Delhi, we stopped at a square to have a rest. After a time, we noticed a snake charmer with two large baskets at the other side of the square, so we went to have a look at him. As soon as he saw us, he picked up a long pipe which was covered with coins and opened one of the baskets. When he began to play a tune, we had our first glimpse of the snake. It rose out of the basket and began to follow the movements of the pipe. We were very much surprised when the snake charmer suddenly began to play jazz and modern pop songs. The snake, however, continued to 'dance' slowly. It obviously could not tell the difference between Indian music and jazz!
参考译文
当我们穿过旧德里的市场时走了很长一段路, 我们在一个广场上停下来休息. 过了一会儿, 我们注意到广场的那一边有一个带着两个大筐的耍蛇人, 于是就走过去看看. 他一见我们, 就拿起了一个长长的上面镶有硬币的管乐器, 并掀开了一个筐的盖子. 当他开始吹奏一支曲子时, 我们才第一次看到那条蛇. 它从筐里探出身子, 随着乐器的摆动而扭动. 当耍蛇人突然又吹奏起爵士乐和现代流行乐曲时, 我们感到非常惊奇. 然而那蛇却还是缓慢地 “舞动” 着. 显然, 它分辨不出印度音乐和爵士乐!

【语法 Grammar in use】
have +名词代替普通动词
在第18课的语法中,我们学习了完全动词have的一些用法,知道它既可以表示“具有”、“拥有”,又可以表示 eat, drink, enjoy, take等含义:
I have(got) a new car.
我有辆新汽车。
Have a good time!
祝你(们)玩得开心!
have的另一种用法是 have+名词代替普通动词表示“完成该动作”:
类似的动词还有dance, fight, look, rest, ride, talk, sleep, swim, wash等。一般完全动词的用法也适用于have:
Jim and I have just had a long talk.
我和吉姆刚进行过一次长谈。
I must have a wash before lunch.
午饭前我得洗一洗。(情态动词+have)
I had two dances with Lucy.
我和露西跳了两次舞。(可用复数形式)
在英语中,使用“have + 名词”的结构可以创造出一种表达方式,这种方式在某些情况下可以替代普通动词,但同时也赋予了句子一种不同的意义或强调。这种结构通常用于表达某种行为或状态的持续性、所有权、存在性或责任。
在这个例子中,“I am reading”是一个进行时态的表达,强调的是正在进行的动作。而“have a book reading”则可能暗示这本书的阅读是一个正在进行的过程,但这种表达方式并不常见,因为它听起来有些拗口。
这里,“bought”是一个完成时态的动词,表示动作已经发生并完成。而“have”在这里表达的是所有权,即我拥有一辆新车。
“there is”是一个常用的存在性动词结构,而“have an existing problem”则不常见,但理论上也可以表达同样的意思,即存在一个问题。
“must finish”表达了一个义务或必要性,而“have... to finish”则表达了一种责任或待办事项。
然而,需要注意的是,并非所有普通动词都可以用“have + 名词”结构来替代。在很多情况下,这种结构可能听起来不自然或者不符合英语的习惯用法。因此,在使用时需要根据上下文和语境来判断是否合适。
总的来说,“have + 名词”结构在某些情况下可以创造出一种特殊的表达方式,但它并不能完全替代所有的普通动词。在使用时,应考虑句子的流畅性和听众的理解能力。
在英语中,使用“have + 名词”的结构可以以一种简洁的方式表达某些动作或状态,这种结构通常用来避免重复使用相同的动词,或者使句子更加生动和形象。以下是一些例子和解释,展示如何用“have + 名词”来代替普通动词:
通过使用“have + 名词”的结构,我们可以创造出更加多样化和有趣的表达方式,同时也能够避免句子中的重复和单调。这种用法在口语和书面语中都非常常见,可以使语言更加生动和形象。
Have a dance: 这个短语通常用来描述参与跳舞的行为,强调的是跳舞这一活动的经历和社交互动。
Example: They had a dance to celebrate their anniversary.
Dance: 当作为动词使用时,更加直接地描述跳舞的动作。
Example: She danced gracefully to the music.
Have a fight: 这个短语可以指发生冲突或打斗的事件,通常暗示了双方的对抗。
Example: The two teams had a fight for the championship title.
Fight: 作为动词时,直接表示战斗或对抗的行为。
Example: The soldiers fought bravely to protect their country.
Have a ride: 这个短语用来描述乘坐某种交通工具的经历,强调的是乘坐的过程和体验。
Example: The children had a ride on the carousel at the fair.
Ride: 作为动词时,表示骑行或乘坐的动作。
Example: He rides his bike to school every day.
Have a talk: 这个短语通常用来描述进行一次对话或讨论,强调的是交流的内容和目的。
Example: We need to have a talk about your recent performance.
Talk: 作为动词时,直接表示说话或交谈的行为。
Example: They talked for hours about their plans for the future.
Have a sleep: 这个短语不常见,通常不用于标准的英语表达中。在某些情况下,它可能被用来描述睡觉的行为,但并不是标准的用法。
Example: This pillow is perfect for having a good sleep (更常见的表达是 "for a good night's sleep").
Sleep: 作为动词时,表示睡觉的行为。
Example: I usually sleep for seven hours every night.
通过这些例句,您可以看到 "pick" 及其短语在不同情境下的灵活用法。掌握这些用法可以帮助您更自然地使用英语进行交流。
