VII. Language points

1. Tony, could you please help put a few things?

help out (with something)是一个动词短语，表示某人繁忙或遇到困难时“给予帮助”。

You watch TV all the time and never help out around the house. 在help和out之间还可加入具体的“人”。如： Can you help me out?

They helped (us) out with the cleaning.

2. …because Mom will be back from shopping any minute now.

any minute now是一种常见的口语表达，相当于“随时；马上；在任何时刻”的意思，表示事情有可能在极短的时间内发生或眼下就要发生。在这一结构中，minute还可用second, moment, time等词替换。如：

The guests are arriving any time now but we’re still not ready. We’re expecting them any moment now.

3. “What happened?”she asked in surprise.

此句中介词短语in surprise表示状态，意思是“吃惊地；惊讶地”。如：

She looked at me in great surprise and asked after a long while, “Didn’t you just leave for Australia this morning?”

4. It is the parents’ job to provide a clean and comfrotable environment at home for their children.

此处代词it仅为形式上的主语，真正的主语是to provide…for their children. 我们也可将It is one’s job(duty,…) to do something.视为一个固定的句型，表示“做某事是某人的工作（职责等）“。如：

It’s everty teacher’s job to explain things clearly to the students.

5. And anyway, I think doing chores is not so difficult.

anyway是一个副词，若位于句首，其后往往会有逗号将其与句子的其他内容隔开。anyway在此句中的作用是追加评论，相当于汉语的“反正，仍然，依然“。如：

Sam didn’t get the job, but he’s not unhappy because it didn’t pay well anyway. anyway还可用来表示“不管怎样；无论如何“之意，如： It’s just a cold. But anyway, you should still see the doctor.

6. The earlier kids learn to be independent, the better it is for their future.

“the+比较级+……, the+比较级+……”是英语中常用的一个句型结构，表示“越……,就越……”如：
