1. 【句型回顧】However, he was always ready to try his best.? 然而,他總是準備盡他最大的努力。
【解析】1)從語義上看,but所表示的是非常明顯的對比,轉折的意味較however要強。從語序上看,but總是位于所引出的分句之首,而however卻可位于句首、句中和句末。從標點符號上看,but之后一般不使用逗號,而however則必須用逗號與句子其他部分分開。例:
Eat to live , but do not live to eat.吃是為了活,但不要活著為了吃。
He thouht he should go there by train.Later,however,he changed his mind.
他認為他應該乘火車去那里,可是后來他改變了主意。
2)be ready to do sth.準備做某事。意思與get ready to do sth.相同,也可說成get ready for (doing) sth. 例:
Let’s get ready for the coming exam. 讓我們為即將到來的考試做好準備吧。
3)try/do one’s best to do sth.盡某人最大努力做某事。例:
I’ll try my best to help you with your English. 我將盡力幫助你學英語。
