四、重点句子讲解
1.Who will mop up the water if I go home without you? 假如我回家了，没有你谁把水拖干净呢？
mop作名词，意为“拖把”；作动词，意为“用拖把擦干净”。mop up意为“把……拖干净”。它的宾语如果是代词，则代词必须放在up前。如：The floor is wet, Mop it up, Bill.
2. Lightning hit a classroom building and it caught fire. 一幢教学楼被闪电击中而着火了。catch fire意为“着火”，强调动作；on fire也意为“着火”，强调状态。fire是不可数名词，只有作“火灾”讲时是可数名词。如：When did the house catch fire? 房子什么时候着的火？Look! The house is on fire．瞧！那房子着火了。
3．At first，I felt a slight shake.起初，我感到一阵轻微的晃动。
shake作名词，意为“摇动，震动”；作动词，意为“摇动，震动；发抖”。如：Can I shake hands with you? 我可以与你握个手吗？
4．People screamed in fear.人们恐惧地尖叫着。
in fear意为“恐惧地”，相当于副词frightenedly。in fear of则意为“害怕……，担心……”。如：We're in fear of more snow.我们担心会再下雪。
5. Outside, people were running in all directions while pieces of glass and bricks were falling down.外面，碎玻璃和碎砖块纷纷掉落下来，人们四处逃散。
in all directions意为“四面八方”。direction是可数名词。
如：You father walked in the direction of the post office．你父亲朝邮局的方向走去了。
6．It was dark and silent around me．在我周围是一片漆黑和寂静。
(1) dark作形容词，意为“黑暗的；深色的”；作名词，意为“黑暗”。如：He has dark skin．他的皮肤是黑色的。A girl can't walk alone in the dark. 女孩子不可以单独在黑暗中行走。(2) silent意为“寂静的；沉默的”．它的名词是silence，多指不讲话；quiet意为“安静的”，指不弄出响声。如：We should keep quiet in the reading room. 在阅览室我们应保持安静。
7. I could not see anything at all, and I did not know if anyone else was near me.我根本什么也看不到，我不知道我附近是否有其他人。
(1) not at all意为“根本不，一点也不”。

8.I felt nervous and my heart was beating fast.我感到紧张，我的心跳加快。beat有两种意思：
(1)意为：打，击，敲；冲击。如：He beat his brother for lying. 他因为他的兄弟说谎而揍他。
(2)意为：打败，胜过。与win区别：win和beat都可用作及物动词．作“赢，战胜”讲时，其区别主要在于宾语的不同。win的宾语通常是比赛、战争、奖品、金钱等名词，即race，match，game，competition，war，prize之类的词，beat的宾语则通常是比赛、竞争的对手，即人或球队的名词或代词。
如：They won the match this time.这次比赛他们赢了。We played very well, and we beat them. 我们发挥得很好，打败了他们。
9. A moment of fear went through my mind, but I told myself to calm down since l was still alive.我的脑中掠过一阵恐惧，但我告诉自己要镇定下来，因为我仍然活着。

(2) calm down意为“镇定，平静下来”，宾语如果是代词，则必须放在中间。如：We must calm him down now. 我们现在必须让他平静下来。
(3) alive是live的形容词形式。但它只能作表语或宾语补足语，不可以作定语，与dead相对。如：He found himself still alive after the accident. It's lucky.他发现他自己在事故后还活着。真是幸运。
10. I saw you and your parents standing on the side of the road．我看到你和你父母正站在路边。
(1) see sb. doing sth.意为“看到某人正在做某事”。see sb. do sth.意为“看到某人做某事”，往往是经常的动作或动作的全过程用此句型。
(2) on the side of the road意为“在路边”。
11. My dad's car broke down because of the cold weather.我爸爸的车子因寒冷的天气而抛锚了。(1) break down意为“出故障，坏掉”。相当于be in trouble。如：Our car broke down on the highway. =Our car was in trouble on the highway. 我们的汽车在高速公路上抛锚了。
(2) because of意为“因为，由于”，后接短语作宾语，不能接从句．because后可接原因状语从句。两者可替换。
如：They arrived late because the road was frozen. =They arrived late because of the frozen road. 由于路面结冰他们迟到了。
12. He was ringing someone to come and help when you saw us.当你看到我们时他正在给人打电话叫人来帮忙。

keep.…safe意为“保护……安全”。from有”远离”之意。
16. Do you know what to do first when we burn ourselves? 当我们烧伤了我们自己，你知道首先应该做什么吗？
what to do是带有疑问词的不定式短语，在句中作know的宾语。如：I don't know when to leave. 我不知道何时应离开。
