2013中考英语备考指导：英语习惯用语汇总

　　[误] - Now, I‘m back Can I play?

　　- Perhaps You’d better do your homework first

　　[正] - Now, I‘m back Can I play?

　　- I’m afraid not You‘d better do your homework first

　　[析] Perhaps 是表示对一种拿不准的事态的推论,如: Am I right? Perhaps而 I’m afraid not 则表达一种不同意的态度。 be afraid 的几种用法有:

　　I‘m afraid that you are right

　　其后直接加宾语从句。

　　- Will you come to my birthday party?

　　- I’m afraid not I have to go to see my father He is in hospital

　　其后+not,表示否定。

　　- Sorry, I don‘t want to go there alone, I’m afraid of the dog

　　其后+名词,表示对某人,某物的害怕。

　　Mary is afraid of making mistakes in the exam

　　其后+ of + 动名词,表示害怕做某事。

　　Mary is afraid to see the teacher because she didn‘t do well in the exam

　　其后+ 不定式,表示不敢去做某事。

　　[误] - How soon will you be ready?

　　- Two days

　　[正] - How soon will you be ready?

　　- In two days

　　[析] 此题关键是要根据情景,身临其境,要注意的是对方问了什么,就应答什么。或答了什么就应问什么。 How soon 问的是“还有多久才能作完”,这时要用 in two days, 即在两小时之内即可以作完。如用 How long 提问,则答语可以用 two days。
