2020最新新概念英语第二册课文注释Lesson31~33

新概念英语第二册课文注释Lesson311.Before he retired, Frank was the head of a very large business company, but as a boy he used to work in a small shop. 在退休前，弗兰克是一家非常大的商业公司的经理，但他小时侯却在一家小铺里做工。

(1)head在此处的意思不是人或动物的“头部”，而是“首领”、“头目”，一般出现在“the head of +名词”结构中：John is the head of the family.约翰是一家之主。

Frank is the head of that firm.弗兰克是那家公司的总裁。

(2) as在这里为介词，表不“当……时”，as a boy相当于 as he was a boy。

2.It was his job to repair bicycles…他那时的工作是修理自行车……it为“先行主语”，句子的真正主语为to repair bicycles。

3.He saved money for years and in 1958 he bought a small workshop of his own. 他靠多年积蓄，于1958年买下了自己的一个小铺子。

(1)for years表示“许多年”。

(2)of one's own为固定短语，表示“自己的”、“属于自己的”，own为代词：He wanted a room of his own.他想要一个自己的房间。

Do you have a house of your own?你有自己的房子吗?4.in one's twenties，(在某人)二十多岁的时候。

one's twenties/thirties/forties…，二十多岁/三十多岁/四十多岁……10的倍数的复数形式可用于表达近似的、非确定的数量，与所有格形容词(my等)连用时表示大约的年龄：My aunt Jennifer is in her late thirties/early forties, but she often appears on the stage as a young girl.我的姑妈詹妮弗已接近四十岁/四十出头，但她却常在舞台上扮演小姑娘。

新概念英语第二册课后习题答案详解_and_单元测试答案(全)之欧阳理创编

新概念英语第二册课后习题答案详解Lesson 11. b选b最为正确。

因为a.d.都与课文内容不符合，也不合乎逻辑；c.的意思是“他们没有注意他”，而作者的意图并不是想让他们注意他，而是想让他们停止谈话。

所以选b. 最能表达作者当时心里的感受。

2．c其余3个答案都与原句意思不符合。

3．b因为a. to 不对，可以是He went to the theatre;c. into 也不对，可以是He went into the theatre;d. on更不符合语法，表示在某一个地方用介词in 或at, in 表示在大的空间，如国家，城市等，at 则表示在小的地点或空间，如atthe office, at the theatre 等, 所以选b.是正确的。

4．db. above(在……上方)；c. ahead of (在……的前面，在……之前)不和behind 对应，也不强调位置的前后顺序。

a. before 和 d. infront of 都是和behind对应的，都有“在……前面”的意思。

但in front of 更具体的强调位置，而before则包含更宽泛的意思，即时间上，空间，次序，登记，重要性方面的“在……前面”5．c因为用a. Where, b. why, d. when 提问都不符合逻辑，都不是针对状态提问的，只有How提问，才能用Angry回答。

6．ab. they 只做主语；c. their只能做定语；d. us 虽然可以做宾语，但与前一句意思不符合。

7．da. none是代词，很少用在名词前面；b. any 只能用在否定句或疑问句中；c. not any 不符合语法，因为前面没有助动词did.8.ba. chair(椅子)， c. armchair(手扶椅) d. class(班级) 这3个选择都和seat的意思不符合。

Seat是”座位，座席” 的意思。

强调的是可供坐下的地方，不是具体的椅子。
