自考“英语（一）”笔记 五十一
6.…in our hearts we hope that we might be spared.
spare做形容词用时，意思是“剩余的；闲暇的；简朴的”。如：
1）In his spare time he wrote some short stories. （他用闲暇写了一些短篇故事。）
2）Sorry，I don‘t have any spare cash. Can I write a check？（对不住，我没有剩余的现钱，我能够开支票吗？）
3）He is keen1 on this spare lifestyle. （他喜欢这种简朴的生活。）
在本句中，spare用作动词，意思是“宽恕；使免遭”。如：
1）He begged them to spare his life. （他求他们饶他一命。）
2）You may spare yourself the trouble. （你不用找此麻烦。）
3）Call him and spare yourself a visit. （给他打个电话，省得你自己跑一趟。）
spare 也能够表明“抽出时刻；出让”。如：
1）Can you spare me 5 minutes？ （你能抽出5分钟时刻给我吗？）
Spare me 50 yuan and I will return the money on payday. （借给我50元钱，发工资那天我就还你。）
7. …We would rather talk about football or the weather or what we had for lunch.
在world rather 后边使用动词的原形方式。如：
1）I would rather stay at home. （我甘愿呆在家里。）
2）He would rather go and play football than go to the cinema. （他甘愿去踢足球，而不肯去看电影。）
3）I would rather you didn‘t tell me the truth. （我甘愿你没告诉我真话。）
在第三句中，would rather 后边跟的是从句，从句中的动词用虚拟语气方式。
what we had for lunch意思是“午饭吃了什么”。如：
1）What did you have for breakfast？ （你早饭吃了什么？）
2）I had nothing but a cup of coffee for breakfast. （早饭我只喝了一杯咖啡。）
8.Neither should we depend entirely2 on the agent when we buy insurance.
当否定词放在句首时，句子通常用倒装。如：
1）Never in my life have I seen such a beautiful place. （我一生中从没见过这么美丽的当地。）
2）Tom doesn‘t like pop music. Neither does his wife. （汤姆不喜欢流行音乐，他妻子也不喜欢。）
3）In no case will he give up the experiment. （无论如何他都不会抛弃那个实验。）
4）Not only was he a teacher， but also a poet. （他不仅是一位教师，仍是一位诗人。）
9.It is better that we plan for these situations by finding3 means to deal with them than to just hope that they will somehow go away.
plan 一般可用作及物动词，而本句中的动词plan 作不及物动词用。
1）We will plan our weekend at noon. （中午时我们将安排周末的活动。）
2）I planned to go and meet him at the station. （我打算去车站接他。）
3）We should plan for our future. （我们应该谋划未来。）
deal with意思是“处理，对付；论说”
1）This is a book dealing4 with the skills of reading， writing and speaking. （这是一本论说读、写、说技能的书。）
2）The man is difficult to deal with. （那人很难打交道。）
3）There will be a lot of difficulties to be dealt with when you start your own business.（你初步自己经商时会有许多困难要打败。）
10.Quite the opposite
