英语四级词汇考点归纳:过去完成时
In 2003, when Cambridge University appointed Alison Richard, another former Yale provost, as its vice-chancellor, the university publicly stressed that in her previous job she had overseen a major strengthening of Yale's financial position.
英语四级译文:
2003年,剑桥大学聘请了另一位耶鲁大学前教务长艾利森·理查德担任副校长、并公开强调,在她之前的工作中,在她的监管下,“耶鲁大学的财政状况得到了极大的巩固”。
四级词汇讲解:
本句的主干是university stressed that。In 2003为句子的时间状语,when Cambridge University appointed...as its vice-chancellor为句子的时间状语从句,其中another former Yale provost为宾语Alison Richard的同位语,as its vice-chancellor为宾语补足语;that引导的是stressed的宾语从句。
appoint sb. as sth.的意思是“任命某人做某工作或担任某职位”。如:
They have appointed Thomas as the manager.他们已经任命托马斯为经理。
stress意为“强调”。如:
The conference stressed the social problem.本次会议强调社会问题。
英语四级考点归纳:
过去完成时表示“过去的过去”,是指过去某一动作之前已经发生或完成的动作,即动作有先后关系,动作在前的用过去完成时,在后的用一般过去时,在从句中很容易分清这种先后关系:
※ 宾语从句中,当宾语从句的主句为一般过去时,且从句的动作先于主句的动作时,从句要用过去完成时,常见于told, said, knew, heard, thought等动词的宾语从句。如:
She said that she had seen the film before.她说她以前看过这部电影。
※ 在时间、条件、原因、方式等状语从句中,主、从句的动作发生有先后关系,动作在前的,要用过去完成时,动作在后的要用一般过去时。如:
After he had finished his homework, he went to bed.他做完家庭作业后,就上床睡觉了。
