重点句型解析
1.I do not think everybody will find my kind of humour funny.
我认为不是每个人都觉得我的幽默是滑稽可笑的.
(1)这是一个含有 that 引导的宾语从句的复合句.请注意汉语与英语在表示否定时位置的不同.在英语中,有一种否定转移现象,主句在形式上是否定的,而在意义上实际上是否定从句.这种情况常出现在think,believe,imagine,suppose 等作主句谓语的句子中.
e.g.I don’t suppose he cares,does he?我看他不在乎,对吧?
She doesn’t believe he is at school.她认为他不在学校.
(2)当主句的谓语动词是think,believe 等与情态动词连用时,不存在否定转移.
e.g.We couldn’t believe he was at home.我们真不能相信他当时在家.
We didn’t believe he was at home.我们认为他不在家.
(3)find+宾语+宾补,宾补可以是名词,形容词,过去分词,现在分词,动词不定式,介词短语,副词等.
Will you find Mary her tennis racket?你愿意替玛丽找一找网球拍吗?
We found him (to be) dishonest.我们觉得他不诚实.

(3)in common 意思是“公有,公用”.
They two own the factory in common.他俩共有这家工厂.
3.I cycled as fast as I could.我尽可能快地骑.
(1)as fast as...意思是“尽可能快地……”.as...as意思是“如同……一样”,表正面比较,第一个as为副词,修饰中间的形容词和副词,第二个as后接名词时,作介词用;接从句时是连词,从句常为比较状语从句.否定形式是not so/as...as...意思是“不如……那样……”,“没有……那么……”.
It is as white as snow.像雪一样白.
I am as tall as you (are).我跟你一般高.
(2)cycle在本句中用作动词,意思是“骑自行车”.可用作名词,意思是“自行车,摩托车”.cyclist意思是“骑自行车的人”.

Last night,I watched a cycle race.昨晚,我观看了一场自行车比赛.
I had to brake hard and I hit another cyclist.我不得不拼命刹车,结果撞上了另一个骑车的人.
4.I was still so angry that I went up to tell him what I thought of him.

(1)so+形容词+that引导结果状语从句,意思是“如此……,以至于……”.
e.g.He is so kind that I like him very much.他是如此和善,以至于我很喜欢他.
