例 :She spends too much time on her homework.
她在家庭作業上用了太多時間。
They spend two hours (in)doing exercises every day.
他們每天花兩個小時的時間鍛煉。
★ 區別 alone 與 lonely:在上麵的句子中,alone 作副詞,意為“獨自地”,修飾 visit。但 alone 也可作形容詞,多指一個人的狀態,不帶感情色彩,意為“單獨的,獨自的”;而 lonely 更強調的是孤獨感,意為“孤獨的,寂寞的”,隻能作形容詞。
例 :If you feel lonely, you can give me a call.
當你孤獨的時候,你可以打電話給我。

★ 在現代英語中,在be worth前使用形式主語it被認為是合習慣的。
例:It is worth visiting the city.
這個城市值得去看。
但是,如果不用形式主語it而直接用動名詞作主語則是錯誤的。
誤:visiting the city is worth.
★ Do you mind... 意為“你介意……嗎?”這種說法比較客氣。請求別人允許做某事,通常是要很客氣的。假如你覺得你要問的問題不大好問,或可能使人感到尷尬,就可以先說:Do you mind if I ask a question?
