夏洛的網讀書筆記摘抄

【段落賞析】

On foggy mornings, Charlotte's web was truly a thing of beauty. This morning each thin strand was decorated with dozens of tiny beads of water. The web alistened in the light and made a pattern of loveliness and mystery, like a delicate veil. Even lurvy, who wasn't particularly interested in beauty, noticed the web when he came with the pig's breakfast. He noted how clearly it showed up and he noted how big and carefully built it was. And then he took another look and he took another look and he saw something that made him set his pail down. There, in the center of the web, nearly woven in block letters, was a message. It said:SOME PIG!

№.1 - A look of complete bewilderment came over Mrs. Zuckerman's face.

【單詞筆記】bewilderment

【英英釋義】

a feeling of being very confused [= confusion]

【例】

She looked at him in bewilderment.

【舉一反三】

之前一次提到了英語中的名詞作動詞使用，這一次就要講講動詞做名詞啦!Bewilderment的動詞是bewilder，都是令人不解，令人疑惑的意思。不過這兩個有什麼區別呢?難道是因爲名詞比較長?原諒小編又要用感性的方法來區別這兩個詞，動詞的動態效果和名詞的狀態效果可是有大大的不同。Bewilder是因爲某個東西或者某種原因使人疑竇叢生，這個動作可以是幾秒，幾分，幾小時，它強調的是令人一瞬間產生對應的感覺(疑惑)。而bewilderment作爲名詞，更強調狀態，一段時間裏都是疑惑不解的，愁眉不解，黛眉深鎖(咳咳)。總之bewilderment的情緒是長而持續的，其效果和bewilder自然有其不同之處。

№.2 - Just the same, I intend to have a look at that spider.

【詞組筆記】intend to do sth.

【英英釋義】

1. to have something in your mind as a plan or purpose

2. to be provided or designed for a particular purpose or person

3. the person, thing, result etc that an action is intended to affect or reach

【例】

1. I intend to spend the night there.

2. It is intended that these meetings will become a regular event.

3. The book is intended for children aged 5-7.

【舉一反三】intend to do / be likely to do

這兩個詞都是表示可能，傾向於做某事，用法也很像。一定要說有什麼區別的話，intend和intention是意向傾向的意思，因此可能做的`某事是源自於本身的意願，而likely只是客觀上的可能性啦。舉例子的話，我 intend / be likely to 逛街，前者是我自己想去，後者可能要是做什麼別的事，然後順便逛個街啦!

№.3 - All in all, the Zuckermans' pigpen was the center of attraction.

【詞組筆記】all in all

【英英釋義】

with everything considered (and neglecting details)

【近義詞組】

altogether, on the whole, tout ensemble

【例】

All in all, I 'm sorry it happened.
