人教版高中英语必修第三册Unit 5重点句式和语法讲解
UNIT 5  THE VALUE OF MONEY
1.It was the first time Chen Liyan’s story was reported.
这是第一次报道陈丽燕的故事。
reported
【句式剖析】It is the first time 是固定句式,意为“这是某人第一次做某事”,在此句型中,that 可省略,it可换成this或that,first可换成second,third等,以表达不同的意义。
That is the second time that I have been invited to such conferences.
那是我第二次被邀请参加这样的会议。
【温馨提示】在It is the first 引导的句子中,如果主句用一般现在时,从句通常用现在完成时;若主句用一般过去时,从句通常用过去完成时。
It was the first time in Olympic history that five mascots had been chosen.
这是奥林匹克历史上第一次选出了五个吉祥物。
2.About a month ago,I was sailing,and towards night I found myself carried out to sea by a strong wind.
大约一个月前,我在航行,夜幕降临时,我发现自己被大风吹到了海上。
【句式剖析】该句是find sth done结构,carried out是过去分词短语,作宾语myself的补足语。动词carry与myself在逻辑上是动宾关系。
He found his house broken into and many of the things stolen.
