重点知识点
1. paint 与draw 都具有 “绘画”的含义,但有很大区别
paint 表示用颜料等画带有色彩的画, 如油画、水彩画及画正式的肖像画。
draw 表用蜡笔、铅笔、钢笔等各种笔画，并且通常画得比较简单。
eg: He is drawing a horse on the blackboard. 他正在黑板上画一匹马。
The artist painted in water colors. 那个画家用水彩作画。
2. I want to know if it is difficult to be an artist.= I wonder if it is difficult to be an artist. 我想知道成为艺术家是否很难。
If you work hard at painting, it won’t be difficult for to succeed. 如果你努力画画，对你来说成功并不难。
前句中的if表 “是否”，引导宾语从句； 后句中的if表 “如果”，引导条件状语从句。
3. The shorter boy got stuck in the mud and started to sink…小个子男孩陷进泥里，开始下沉……
get stuck 是系表结构, stuck是过去分词作表语, 表被动.
4. However, when someone does something good for you, you should carve it on a stone from which the wind can never erase it.(定语从句). 然而, 当有人做了对你有益的事情, 你应当把它刻在石头上, 这样决不会被风抹掉.
erase…from….. “把……从……清除/ 抹掉”,此句中的定语从句的关系代词在介词之后,只能用which不能用 that.
eg: What can we learn about by reading books in which heroes fight against their enemies? 通过看那些书中;英雄人物对抗敌人的书本,我们能了解到什么呢?
