1、Leading a balanced life seems to refer to leading a life where your personal, family and work live are all in balance.（1） 本句是一个含有状语从句的复合句，主句是Leading a balanced life seems to refer to leading a life，其中动名词短语Leading a balanced life 做主语，seems to refer to 为复合谓语；where your personal, family and work live a

2、re all in balance 做状语，不是定语。（2） 动名词作主语，与名词相比使主语含有动态的含义，本课多处出现了动名词作主语，试体会其含义与名词作主语的不同。此外，当没有相应合适的名词作主语时，往往用动名词或不定式作主语，动名词和不定式都可以在句中作主语，但是二者有很大的区别：不定式作主语常表示具体的某一次动作；表示泛指或一般的抽象的概念时，多用动名词。例子：Reading English novels is really great fun for me. 对我而言，读英语小说确实有趣。动词不定式作主语时，常用形式主语结构；而动名词作主语时，则较少使用形式主语，只有在It is n

3、o good / no use / fun 等句型中常用it 作形式主语。 e.g. It is hard to make him change his mind. 很难让他改变主意。 It is no good learning without practice. 光学而不实践是没好处的。当表语是动名词时，主语要用动名词；当表语是不定式时，主语也要用不定式。 e.g. Saying is believing. / to see is to believe.眼见为实。不定式可以和when, where, how, what, whether等词连用，在句子中作主语，宾语和表语，而动名词则不能。

4、 e.g. Where to put the box seems hard to decide. 似乎很难确定把箱子放在哪儿。（3） lead a life意为“过的生活”，相当于live a life.（4） Balance 作名词，意为“平衡，均衡；余额”，是不可数名词；作动词，指“保持平衡；站稳”。其形容词是balanced, 意为“保持（显示）平衡的”。注意balance作名词时常用的短语：keep in balance 保持平衡；be in balance 处于平衡状态；in/ on balance总的来说。（5） seem意为“似乎，好像”。注意由其构成的句型：“主语+seem+（

5、to be）+表语”，seem为系动词，其表语多为名词或形容词，有时是其他的词或短语，以说明主语的特征或状态。“主语+seem+不定式”，此句型中的seem与不定式一起构成复合谓语。“There +seem(to be )+名词”，其中to be可省略。Seem的单复数形式要根据后面作主语的名词的单复数形式而定。“It seems/ seemed + as if从句”，意为“看来好像”（6） refer to 短语主要有两种结构： refer to sb./sth.(as sth.)意为：“提到；涉及；与有关”“查阅，参考；征询”。 refer to a dictionary/ an expe

6、rt 查阅词典/ 征求专家的意见Refer sb./sth. to sb./sth.意为“将送交给（以求获得帮助等）”Maintaining a balance among all aspects of ones life can be the key to leading a colorful life.句中的the key to 意为“的答案（钥匙、关键、要诀）”，其中to 是介词，不是不定式符号，其后接名词、代词或动名词。Sounds hard to believe?这是一个省略句，省略了主语it, 表示前面一句话的意思。注意sound 后面的第三人称单数变化形式，单项选择题中为常考知识

7、点。省略多见于非正式文体，尤其在对话中，是一种普遍的现象，英语中可以省略主语、谓语。宾语、表语、定语。Sounds like a good idea.The river was deep and the ice thin.Lets do the dishes. Ill wash and youll dry.Are you ready? Yes, I am.He spent part of the money, and the rest he saved.He was not hurt. Strange!Mr. Bern is a case in point: he is running jew

8、elry stores.(1) a case in point 意为“明证；恰当的例子”，case在这指“具体情况；事例、实例，是可数名词。In point指“恰当的，中肯的”point 前不用冠词。(2)run 在意为“经营、管理”，为及物动词。 Run 的过去分词可以作定语。a badly-run company 经营不善的公司It can provide inspiration for the rest of us who are not famous, and yet are struggling with the same problem for balance in our lif

9、e as well.(1)此句中who引导一个定语从句，修饰the rest of us, who在定语从句中作主语。从句中are not famous 和are struggling with是并列成分，前者是主系表结构，后者是主谓宾结构。(2)as well 常用作状语，意为“又；也”，相当于too或also,常位于句末，无须用逗号与句子分开。as well 也可用于口语中，意为“也好，也行”或“倒不如”，用来缓解语气。注意may as well; might as well 表示“不妨，还是为好”。Have a tryA: The following is a notice about
