UI.课文精讲第一部分：paras.1-2

1.Thereareestimatedtobemorethan20,000overseasdomestic

servantsworkinginBritain(theexactfigureisnotknownbecause

theHomeOffice,theGovernmentdepartmentthatdealswiththis,

doesnotkeepstatistics).据统计，在英国工作的外籍家庭佣人有两万

多人

本句为therebe句型的变体，workinginBritain为现在分词短语

作定语，修饰servants.

括号里内容：(由于处理该项事务的政府部门-内政部-没有做过统计，

精确数字不得而知)原因状语从句中主语“内政部”有一个同位语。

Thereareestimatedtobemorethan20,000…可以改写为"Itis

estimatedthattherearemorethan20,000•••";表示"据说、据报道、

据信、据认为、据估计、据称"的结构有两种：

1.Itissaid(rported/beliwed/thought/estimated/claimed)that主语+渭语动词+

2.主语+besaid(rq^orted/beliwed/thought/estimated/claimed)todo…

若句型A中that从句的结构为存在有，则出现：

3.Itissaid(rported/beliwed/thought/estimated/claimed)thatthereis+名词(单数;)

4.Thereissaid(reported/believed/thought/estimated/claimed)tobe+名词(单数)

5.Itissaid(rported/believed/thought/estimated/claimed)thatthereare+名词(复数)…

6.Therearesaid(reported/believed/thought/estimated/claimed)tobe+名词(复数)

例如：Itissaidthattheyarestudyingthisproblem.->Th等are疝dtobestudyingthis

problem.

Itissaidthattheyhavefinishedthetask->Th守are扇dtohavefinishedthetask,

workinginBritain是现在分词短语，充当servants的定语；dealwith=copewith=handle意

思是“对付、应付、处理

2.Usually,theyhavebeenbroughtoverbyforeignbusinessmen,

diplomatsofBritonsreturningfromabroad.

returningfromabroad是现在分词短语，充当Britons的定语。

3.Ofthese20,000,justunder2,000arebeingexploitedand

abusedbytheiremployers,accordingtoaLondon-based

campaigninggroupwhichhelpsoverseasservantsworkingin

Britain.根据设在伦敦的帮助在伦敦工作的外籍家庭佣人的政治组织说,

在两万多外籍家庭佣人中几乎有2000人正遭受雇主的剥削和虐待。

句首Of相当于Among,意思是"在…当中";句中"arebeing

exploitedandabused"为现在进行时被动语态，表示“正在被…剥削和

凌辱"。under相当于lessthan,意为"将近、不到based"意为"设

（驻）在…的，以…为基础的，以…为主要手段的”。例如：

shore-basedaircraft岸基飞机theagency'sParis-basedpress

officer该机构驻巴黎的新闻发布官。London-based意思是''总部设在伦

敦的"；which引导的是定语从句，修饰前面的aLondon-based

campaigninggroup,从句中workinginBritain是现在分词短语，修

饰前面的servants,作定语。

第二段：

1.Theabusecantakeseveralforms.

2.Oftenthedomesticsarenotallowedtogoout,andtheydonot

receiveanypayment.

该句的domestic是名词,相当于domesticservant;allowsbtodo

sth意思是"允许某人做某事"，句中togoout是主语补足语成分。

3.Theycanbephysically,sexuallyandpsychologicallyabused.

4.Andtheycanhavetheirpassportsremoved,makingleavingor

"escaping"virtuallyimpossible.他们在身体上、性和心理上遭受凌辱。

他们还会被收去护照，使得出走或“逃跑”根本不可能。"havetheir

passportsremoved"是have+宾语+过去分词的结构。"removed"是过

去分词作宾补，表示被动，意为“使得护照被拿走"。making…

impossible为现在分词短语作结果状语.

,theycanhavetheirpassportsremoved译为'他们的护照可能会被没收此处出现havesth

done结构，动词have作“让”讲，可用于以下句型：

A.havesbdosth（让某人^^事）例如：Shehadmebuyabookforher.

B.havesthdoing物16^事）例如：havethelan^ilighting/havethefireburning/

havethemachineworking

C.havesthdone（让某事被做）例如：Hehadhishaircutyesterday/Hehadhis

carrepairedthismorning.

句后面有making...virtuallyimpossible这是现在分词短语，充当伴随状语。

第二部分：paras.3—8

1.Thesadconditionofwomenworkingasdomesticsaroundthe

worldreceivedmuchmediaattentionearlierthisyearinseveral

highlypublicizedcases.今年年初，几个透明度颇高的案例中有关世界

各地的家庭女佣的悲惨状况受到新闻媒体的关注。

该句主要结构是：Thesadconditionreceivedmuchmedia

attention.Thesadconditionofwomenworkingasdomestics

aroundtheworld在句中作主语，谓语是received受到，"inseveral

highlypublicizedcases"的意思是”在几个被高度曝光的案例中“。

介词短语ofwomenworking•••aroundtheworld是主语的定语

成分，earlierthisyearinseveralhighlypublicisedcases是状语成

分；womenworkingas•••是动名词短语的复合结构，所有格标记"‘s"

被省略，本应为women'sworkingas…，当动名词短语的复合结构充

当宾语时，所有格标记's则可以省略。workas意思是"当、充当"，试比

较worklike:Heworksasaslave.他当奴隶。Heworkslikeaslave.

他象奴隶一样地工作。

2.Inoneofthem,aFilipinomaidwasexecutedinSingaporeafter

beingconvictedofmurder,despiteprotestsfromvariousquarters

thatherguilthadnotbeenadequatelyestablished.其中一个案例

是讲一位菲律宾女佣因被指控犯有谋杀罪在新加坡被处死，尽管有来自各

地的抗议认为她的罪名不足以成立。

句中"beingconvictedofmurder"为动名词被动式作介词"after"的

宾语，表示“被判为谋杀罪”。convictsbofsth是固定搭配，意思是"

判某人犯有…罪行"；despite是介词，相当于inspiteof,意思是"尽管、

虽然"后接名词性成分；fromvariousquarters意为"来自四方"；that

所引导的从句是protests（抗议）的同位语从句。

3.GroupslikeAnti-SlaveryInternationalsayother,lessdramatic,

casesareequallydeservingofattention,suchasthatofLydia

Garcia,aFilipinomaidworkinginLondon:

bedeservingof意思是"值得"，deserving是形容词，来自动词

deserve,deserve可用于以下结构：

deserve+n.

deserve+beingdone

deserve+tobedone

试比较：

beworthdoing

beworthyofbeingdone

beworthytobedone

thatofL^diaGarcia中的that是代词，代替thecase。

P.85

第4段：

1."IwashiredbyaSaudidiplomatdirectlyfromthePhilippinesto

workinLondonin1989.

thePhilippines可指"菲律宾群岛"，也可指国家名称“菲律宾"；to

workinLondon是不定式短语，充当主语补足语。

2.Iwassupposedtobepaid£120butIneverreceivedthat

amount.

besupposedto有两种用法：表示理应、应该：Everyoneis

supposedtowearasearbeltinthecar.汽车内每个人都应系安全带。

表示“一般认为"Ihaven5tseenitmyself,butitissupposedtobe

areallygoodfilm.我自己并未看过这部片子，但普遍认为这是一部好片

子。此处的besupposedto和beexpectedto同义，译为"应该"，例如：

YouaresupposedtofinishyourworkbyFriday.你应该在星期

五之前把工作完成。

3.Theyalwaysthreatenedthattheywouldsendmebacktomy

country."

动词threaten可用于以下结构：

threatensbwithsth以。••威胁某人

threatenthat威胁说…

threatentodosth威胁说要做某事

第5段：

1.ThenthereisthecaseofKumarifromSriLanka.

2.Themainbreadwinnerinherfamily,sheusedtoworkforavery

lowwageatateafactoryinSriLanka.

比较usedto和beusedto:

1)usedto意思是"过去、过去常常"；used是动词，且只有过去时态；

t。是不定式符号，后面接动词原形。

2)beusedto表示,习惯于"；be是连系动词，有时态变化；used是形

容词；to是介词，后面接名词或动名词。

3.Becauseshefounditdifficulttofeedherfourchildren,she

acceptedajobworkingasadomesticinLondon.

it是形式宾语，真正的宾语是tofeedherfourchildren;形容词

difficult是宾语补足语。

4.ShesaysshefeltlikeaprisonerattheLondonhousewhereshe

worked:

该句中feellike意思是"感觉象";feellike也可表示"想"，例如：

Ifeellikeaswim/goingswimming.我想去游泳。

第6段：

1."Nodaysoff—ever,nobreaksatall,noproperfood.

Nodaysoff意思是"不放假",此处off表示"休假、休息、不上班”，

例如：

IthinkI'lltaketheafternoonoff.我想我下午要休假半天。

Themanagergavethestaffadayoff.经理放全体职员一天假。

Youmustn'ttaketimeoffjustbecauseyouwanttoseeafootball

match.你不可以只是为了看一场足球赛而休假。

2.1didn'thavemyownroom;Isleptonashelfwithaspaceofonly

threefeetaboveme.

该句第二分句中，withaspaceofonlythreefeetaboveme是含

有介词with的独立结构，充当shelf的定语成分；该结构是：

doing

done

with+n.+adj.

adv.

prep。

例如：

Theteacherenteredtheclassroom,withsome由必欣follawmghim

Thewomanteacher'sbocfywasdiscoveredbyahiker,withhandsandfeetbamd

Helikessleepingwiiithewindowsopeneveninwinter.

Theteacherenteredtheclassroom,withabookinMsfm曲

3.Iwasn'tallowedtotalktoanybody.

totalktoanybody是不定式短语，充当主语补足语。

4.Iwasn'tevenallowedtoopenthewindow.

该句结构同上。

5.MyemployersalwaysthreatenedtoreportmetotheHome

Officeorthepolice."

动词threaten可用于以下结构：

threatensbwithsth以。••威胁某人

threatenthat威胁说…

threatentodosth威胁说要做某事

本句出现了上面的第三种结构。

第7段：

1.Attheendof1994theBritishGovernmentintroducednew

measurestohelpprotectdomesticworkersfromabusebytheir

employers.

attheendof意思是"在…底、在…末、在…的最后introduce

measures相当于takemeasures,意思是"采取措施"；help+(to)do

意为"帮助做某事"；protect-from…是一固定搭配，表示‘保护…免遭

(…的痛苦或虐待)"that"引导protests的同位语从句,表示抗议的

内容。

2.Thisincludedincreasingtheminimumageofemployeesto18,

gettingemployeestoreadandunderstandanadviceleaflet,

gettingemployerstoagreetoprovideadequatemaintenanceand

conditions,andtoputinwritingthemaintermsandconditionsof

thejob(ofwhichtheemployeesshouldseeacopy).措施包括把雇

工的最小年龄提高到18岁，使受雇者能阅读并理解通告单，使雇主同意

提供适当的生活费用和条件，并写出工作条件和主要的工作条款(受雇者

应有此种副本)。

该句谓语动词是included,include后要接动名词作宾语。其宾语是

三个并列的动名词短语：increasing…，gettingemployeesto…和

gettingemployersto…，表示新措施包括的三项内容。getsb.todosth.

意为"让某人做某事"，其中todosth.是宾语补足语；toagreeto

provide…和toputinwritingthemain…是并列关系，同时作宾语

补足语；put…inwriting意思是,1把…形诸文字"，inwriting,因为作

宾补的介词短语较短，而宾语较长，故把宾补提前。此处put的宾语是the

maintermsandconditionsofthejob;ofwhich弓|导的是非限制性

定语从句，修饰writing。

第8段：

1.However,manypeopledoubtwhetherthiswillsuccessfully

reducetheincidenceofabuse.

doubt可以是动词，也可是名词，一般情况下，在否定句中，doubt

后总是跟着that从句，在肯定句中，doubt后接if(whether)或that从

句。但一般以为肯定句接if(whether)较为规范。

Idon'tdoubtthatheJstellingthetruth.

Idoubtwhether/ifhe'stellingthetruth.

2.Forthemainproblemfacingoverseasmaidsanddomesticswho

trytocomplainaboutcruellivingandworkingconditionsisthat

theydonothaveindependentimmigrantstatusandsocannot

changeemployer.因为那些企图抗议恶劣生活和工作条件的外籍女佣

和家仆所面临的主要问题是他们没有独立的移民身份，因此不能更换雇

主。

该句的主要结构为"For•••problem•••isthat…该句是主系表结

构，主语是themainproblem,系动词是is,表语是that引导的从句;

主语后面有现在分词短语facingoverseasmaidsanddomestics…作

定语，而overseasmaidsanddomestics后面又有who引导的定语从

句；complainabout亦作complainof,意思是"抱怨"。

3.(TheyareallowedintheUnitedKingdomunderaspecial

concessionintheimmigrationruleswhichallowsforeignersto

bringdomesticstaffwiththem.)

该句有一定语从句，由which引导，该从句修饰前面的aspecial

concession,故which为单数，后面的谓语动词是allows。

4.Soiftheydocomplain,theyriskbeingdeported.

do是助动词，用以加强语气，risk后面只可接动名词，而不可接不

定式，因是被动意义，故出现riskbeingdeported;这类动词有：finish,

mind,suggest,enjoy,giveup,can'thelp,avoid,escape,consider,

delay,putoff,postpone,admit,deny,practise,excuse,fancy,

imagine,keep,miss,risk,appreciate

P.86

第三部分Para.9

1.Allowingdomesticworkersthefreedomtoseekthesametypeof

workbutwithadifferentemployer,iftheysochoose,iswhat

groupslikeAnti-SlaveryInternationalarecampaigningthe

Governmentfor.

Allowingdomesticworkersthefreedom•••butwitha

differentemployer是动名词短语，作句子主语，is是连系动词，后面有

what引导的表语从句；iftheysochoose条件状语从句意思是"如果他们

这样选择的话"，相当于iftheychoosetoseekthesametypeofwork

butwithadifferentemployer;campaignsbforsth意思是"为了•一

对某人进行运动、促使某人去做某事"，而campaignsbagainststh与

它意思相反，意思是"为了反对…对某人进行运动、促使某人不要去做某事

2.Itis,theysay,therighttochangeemployerswhich

distinguishesemploymentfromslavery.他们说，正是有权改变雇主

的这一做法区分了雇佣制和奴隶制

该句theysay是插入语；distinguish•••from…意思是"把…和…区别开来”;

Itistheright•••whichdistinguishes…意思是"正是改换雇主的权利划清

了雇佣和奴役的界限”，该句是一很不规范的英语句子，规范的说法应该是：Itis

theright•••thatdistinguishes…，这是强调结构。todistinguish•••from

把…区分开Unit4重点句1.Thereareestimatedtobemorethan20,000
