e.g. There was a terrible car accident on 25th street this morning. 今天上午在25街发生了

一起严重的交通事故。

Nobody saw the accident. 这起事故没有目击者。 短语by accident表示“偶然地”，通常用作状语。

2. A young woman called Mary White saw it and telephoned us. 一位叫玛丽·怀特的小姐目击

3. We’d better get this form filled out. 我们最好把这个表格填好。

这个句子用的是had better (do…)的结构，表示“最好做……”。 e.g. You’d better leave here immediately. 你最好马上离开这里。

She had better not go there. 她最好不要去那里。

get sth. done表示“让某事被做，被处理”，something与done之间存在逻辑上的动宾关系。 e.g. She got her coat washed. 她把外套洗了。

He got his hair cut. 他理发了。

注意：get something to do表示“使某物……怎样”，something与 do之间存在逻辑上的主谓关系，do在这里往往是不及物动词。

e.g. I can’t get the old radio to work. 我没法儿让这台旧收音机响起来。

4. He must have been drunk and drove his car into a tree. 他肯定喝醉了，开车撞到了树上。

“must + have + 过去分词”表示对已发生情况的肯定推测，译为“（过去）一定……”，仅用于肯定陈述句中。

e.g. I didn’t hear the phone. I must have been asleep. 我没听见电话。我肯定睡着了。

This cake is very sweet. You must have put a lot of sugar in it. 这蛋糕很甜，你肯定放了很多糖。

比较：must do sth.可表示对将来的推测；must be doing sth.表示对现在的推测。 e.g. She must arrive before five. 她五点以前肯定到。

She must be sleeping now. 她肯定是在睡觉。 drink的过去式可以是drunk或drunken。

两者的区别：drunken只能作定语，不能作表语。如：a drunken driver醉酒的司机；drunken words酒后之言。

drunk一般只作表语，作定语时指醉酒的程度较轻。 e.g. He is drunk. 他喝醉了。

be drunk with joy 欣喜若狂；to get drunk 醉酒 注意：drunk-driving为美式英语，义同drink-driving。

固定词组take place多指“举行活动，发生某事（可指发生好事或不好的事）”；happen多指“发生意外事故、不幸的事”。

e.g. The event will take place tomorrow night. 该活动将在明晚举行。（take place不能用

happen代换）

The accident took place only a block from my home. 事故发生地离我家只有一个街区。（took place 可以用happened代换）

e.g. Was there a lot of traffic on your journey? 你一路上遇到很多车辆吗？

You have to stop when the traffic light turns red. 交通灯变红时必须停车。 go on的用法：

1）表示“继续”，意为继续作某事。

e.g. They went on working even though it was raining hard. 雨下得很大，可他们并没有停

止工作。

We can go on with our work after we have a good rest. 好好休息一下，然后我们可以继续干活。

2) 表示“为了……而去”，意为某种状态。 e.g. They have gone on a voyage. 他们去航行了。
