那么我们开始今天的课程吧
1.本节课我们进行讲解58课【A blessing in disguise?伪装的祝福】。
2.首先我们跟着外教课文演绎学习。
3.我们要知道的语法重点,【is said to】【The tiny village of Frinley is said to possess a'cursed tree'.】 【There/名词主语/代词主语+be said to do sth.据说...(对不大有把握的事发表看法时谨慎的说法)】【There is said to be a great deal of oil in Africa.】【It's not as old as it said to be.它并不像人们所说的那么古老。】【it is said that.据说】。
4.然后【is said to】【用于这种结构的动词除了say之外还有 believe, know, find, fear, think等: the tiny village of Frinley】弗林利这个小村庄,其中介词of表示的是同位关系:【the city of Beijing名叫北京的城市】【at the age of twenty20岁时】【a height of three feet三尺的高度】。
5.我们看【强调句型】【The tree was planted near the church fifty years ago, but it is only in recent years that it has gained an evil reputation.】it is/was...(被强调部分that/who(m)+从句】。
