25、on. 无论发生什么情况, 我们都必须推行我们的增产计划。He promised to push ahead with economic reform. 他允诺继续推行经济改革。We are pushing forward with our plan. 我们正坚决实施计划。(2) 辨析:push ahead,go ahead 两个短语都有“前进”的意义,ahead是副词,都是不及物词组,但其区别也是明显的。 push ahead强调“向前推进、急速前进”If we push ahead, we can get home before dark. 如果我们抓紧, 天黑前我们还能赶到家。I wan
26、t to push ahead on this project. 有关这个方案我想继续取得进展。 go ahead “前进、继续向前”, 在口语中有多种意义。例如: The project will go ahead. 这个项目会做下去的。We feel you should go ahead. 我们觉得您应该干。Go ahead and do what you like. 去吧,喜欢干什么就干什么。Can I use the bathroom? 我可以用一下卫生间么?Go ahead! 当然,请便!Go ahead, were all listening to you carefu

29、sale, on sale for sale 是介词短语,在句中作后置定语,修饰a product。for sale 相当于intended to be sold “待售”。还可以做状语和表语。例如:These are cars for sale at reasonable prices. 这些是价位合理的待售小轿车。(定语)She has put her house up for sale. 她现在的房子在出售。(状语)Im sorry this painting is not for sale. 很抱歉,这幅画是非卖品。(表语) on sale 表示“出售”、“上市”的意思。on sale

33、e glue has been used by me. 我把胶水都用光啦。 run out是不及物动词词组,表示“被用完了(become used up)”,含被动意义,其主语通常是时间、金钱、食物等无生命名词。例如:His money soon ran out. 他的钱很快就花完了。Food supplies had run out towards the end of the trip. 在旅行快结束时,食物已经吃完了。 run out of 含有介词of,作及物动词用,“用完(=use up)”的意思。例如:He ran out of gas a mile from home. 他在离家

38、析:appear, seem两个词做系动词用都有“似乎、好像”的意思,含义似乎没有多大差异,在句型结构上也基本一样,有时候也能互换,微细的区别仍然值得注意。 appear暗含“的确如此”含义,如果要表示某种判断而得出的印象最好用appear。appear还可以是行为动词“出现,显现”的意思。例如:It appeared that he had a taste for music. = He appeared to have a taste for music.看来他对音乐还有一定的鉴赏力。They appear / seem to have misunderstood me. = It app

Why do some people think they have the right to go against nature?(page 45)为什么有些人认为他们有权与自然对抗呢?辨析:go against, be against他们基本同义,都有“反对、违背、
42、不利于”的意思,仍有区别。 go against sb. /sth 指“动作”。例如:Dont go against your parents /your parents wishes. 不要违背父母亲的愿望。He went against the advice of his colleagues and resigned. 他不顾同事们的劝告辞了职。 be against指“状态”。例如:Are most people against the proposal? 是多数人都反对这项提议吗?It was against his will to do such things. 做这类事是违背他的
43、本意。14. I believe that strict laws should be put in place and governments should do more to stop human cloning.(page 45)我认为应该严格立法,政府也该采取更多的措施阻止人类克隆。in place 在句中作状语,意思是“在对的位置”、“在适当的位置”,其反义短语out of place“不合适; 不恰当”。在句中做表语有“合适的;恰当的”的意思。例如:She likes everything to be in place before she starts work. 工作前,她喜
