山东自学考试-自考英语(一)复习（62）

5.请注意区别与possession 有关的两个词组：in possession of sth……和 in the possession of sb.

1)He is in possession of this house (他拥有这所房子)

2)The house is in the possession of him

3)On the other hand， our language includes large number of words which are relatively seldom used in ordinary conversation.

英语中有许多表示启承转合的词语，阅语中注意这些词有助于我们提高理解力，写作中注意用这些词，有助于我们把文章写得连贯、有条理。On the other hand 在本句中用来表示不同或相反的语气，在前一段中讲了popular word 这一段中作者则要讲讲learned words.表示不同或相反语气的词还有很多，比如：Conversely， however， on the contrary， unlike， whereas， yet等等。

前面我们提到过number可以与可数名词连用，而amount可与不可数名词连用，如：

1)A large number of students have passed the exam (许多学生已经通过了考试)

2)They paid a large amount of money for the house (他们付了一大笔钱买了这座房子)

6.Their meanings are known to every educated person， but there is little occasion to use them at home

occasion 通常可以做可数名词用，意思是“时刻、场合”;也可以做不可数名词用，意思是：“必要性、需要;机会”。

7.In the latter，we are using a Latin Derivation which has exactly the same meaning

在前一句中用了“in the first case，” 本句中的“in the latter ”是指in the latter case .对两件事分别进行表述时，可以用in the first case， in the latter case 这一类词，条理非常清楚，也可以用the former，the latter 来表述。derivation 是derive 的名词形式。Latin derivation 意思是“拉丁语词源的词”

8.The terms “popular”and“learned”，as applied to words，are not absolute definitions.本句中的term意思是“术语、名称”

term 还有“期限;任期;学期”的意思，如：

During his 4-year term of office，he did a lot of things for the common people.

(在他四年的任职期间，他为普通百姓做了不少事。)

apply to 在句中的意思是“用于”，如：

1)This rule applies to upper class students only (这条规则只适用于高年级学生。)

2)I don't think what he says applies to you (我想他的话对你不适用)

apply for 则是“申请”的意思
