一、教法建議
【拋磚引玉】
★ 單元背景知識簡介
本單元課文 The Merchant of Venice 是根據英國作家威廉莎士比亞 （William Shakespeare）的同名作品改編而成。《威尼斯商人》寫商人安東尼奧為了幫助朋友巴薩尼奧成婚，向高利貸者夏洛克轉借現金。夏洛克出于嫉妒，以到期不還可以割安東尼奧身上一磅肉為條件把錢借給了他。安東尼奧因破產到期無法償還借款，夏洛克堅持照約處罰，巴薩尼奧未婚妻鮑西婭喬裝打扮成律師出庭，終于擊敗夏洛克。《威尼斯商人》是莎士比亞早期的重要作品，大約寫于 1596 - 1597 。
安東尼奧是本劇中的肯定形象，他高尚正直、坦白直率，熱心為善、多情尚義、心腸仁慈、重視友誼。當夏洛克堅持要從他身上割下一磅肉時，他雖然為朋友遭殺身之禍，卻毫無怨言，仍以朋友的幸福為重。
鮑西亞是莎士比亞理想中的資產階級新女性，是作者竭力稱頌的人物。她渴望個人幸福，追求以愛情為基礎的婚姻；她選擇丈夫的條件不是門第和財富，而是個人的人品相貌和才能。她她通情練達，有膽有略，淳樸賢淑，而又樂觀俏皮。在法庭上，面對強手，她胸有成竹，氣概非凡，有條不紊，欲擒故縱。
夏洛克是一個拜金注意者，對金錢貪得無厭，冷酷無情，吝嗇卑鄙。
莎士比亞是歐洲文藝復興時期英國杰出的戲劇家和詩人，也是世界文學史上最杰出的作家之一。他的作品是人類文化史上的珍品。他的作品Hamlet 《哈姆雷特》，Romeo and Juliet 《羅密歐與朱麗葉》等反映了當時社會的現實，表達了人文主義的社會政治思想。

二、學海導航
【學法指要】
★ 單元核心句型剖析
1. (Lesson 41 - 42 ) However , Shylock agreed to lend Antonio the money on one condition . In the agreement , Antonio made a promise to allow Shylock to take a pound of his flesh from whatever part of his body if he did not pay the money back at the end of three months . 然而 ， 夏洛克還是同意借錢給安東尼奧，但是有一個條件，在借約中，安東尼奧許諾如果在三個月欺滿時償還不了這筆錢，就允許夏洛克從他身上任何部位割走一磅肉。
〖剖析〗(1) on one condition 作“規定一個條件”解。其條件就是下一句的“如果 …… 就 ”。此詞組也可以用 on condition that 來代替。如：… to lend Antonio the money on condition that Antonio made a promise . 作“只有 …… 條件下”, on condition that = only if “條件是 ……”，“如果 ……”（= if ）， 是從屬連詞，引導條件狀語從句，但它比 if 更正式。例如：
He was allowed to go swimming on condition that he kept near the other children .
You may borrow the book on condition that you do not lend it to anyone else .
I don't mind lending you my car on condition that you return it to me before tomorrow .
We'll come on condition that John is invited to this party , too .
注意：on no condition 是“絕不要，決不，在任何情況下都不”之意。例如：
You must on no condition tell him what has happened . 你在任何情況下都不可以把發生的事情告訴他。
當 on no condition 放置句首時，主謂進行倒裝。
On no condition can he travel alone .
2. ( Lesson 41 - 42 ) It is useless trying to argue with Shylock . 試圖跟夏洛克講道理是沒有用的。
〖剖析〗(1) 在這個句型中 it 是形式主語，后面的動名詞或者動名詞短語是真正的主語。能以動名詞作主語的這類句子比較少，主要用在以 no point , no use , no good 等作表語的句子中。例如：
It's no use talking without acting . = It's useless talking without acting . 光說不干是沒有用的。
(2) it 作形式主語用在 it's a waste of time + ing 的句子中。例如：
It's just a waste of time talking to him .
(3) 動名詞作主語還用于 there + be + no use ( good , point ) + ing 句型中，例如：
There's no use talking about it . = It's no use talking about it .
3. (Lesson 41 - 42 ) If you offered me six times what you have just offered , I would still take my pound of flesh . 即使你愿意給我六倍于剛才提出的錢數，我仍要我應得到的那一磅肉。
〖剖析〗times 在此表示三倍以上的倍數。用 times 表示“甲是乙的幾倍大（長、寬、高等）”，“甲比乙大（長、高、寬等）幾倍”，可以用下列句型：
(1) A is … times the size ( length , height , width ) of B
This street is four times the length of that one . 這條街是那條街的 4 倍長。（= 這條街比那條街長 3 倍。）
This river is five times the length of that stream . 這條河有那條小溪五倍長。
Nigeria is three times the size of that Great Britain . 尼日利亞是英國面積的三倍大。
(2) A is … times as big ( long , high , wide ) as B
Asia is four times as large as Europe .亞洲是歐洲的四倍大。（= 亞洲比歐洲大三倍。）
That building is three times as high as our house . 這樓房有我們住房的三倍高。
This box is three times as heavy as that one . 這箱子是那箱子的三倍重。
(3) A is … times bigger ( longer , higher ) than B
The meeting-room is three times bigger than our office . 會議室比我們的辦公室大三倍。
This city is ten times larger than that one . 這個城市比那個城市大 10 倍。
(4) 三倍以下通常用 double 或者 twice 來表達兩倍。
His weight is double what it was ten years ago . 他的體重是 10 年前的兩倍。
This package is double the weight of that one . 這個包裹比那個包裹的重量多一倍。
This railway is twice longer than that one . 這條鐵路比那條長兩倍。
The room is twice the size of that one . = This room is twice as big as that one .

“That's correct , sir . We have never yet been unable to meet our customers' requirements . ”
“Very well , ”the man said . “In that case , bring me two elephant ears on toast . Indian , not African .”

【心中有數】
★ 單元語法難點排除
◆ 動詞不定式“10 注意”
動詞不定式的基本形式是“to + 動詞原形”，有時可不加 to。下面主要就不定式在使用時需注意的幾個方面加以說明：
● 動詞不定式作主語時，如果要說明不定式所表示的動作是誰做的，可在不定式前加 for 引起的短語。但是當形容詞是 nice , kind , clever , foolish 等表是主語的性質時，用 of 。例如：
It's very important for us to learn English well .
It's very nice of you to do so .
● 可接不定式作賓語的動詞主要有 want , like , wish , prefer , hope , try , start , decide , agree , forget , learn 等。例如：
She wanted to borrow my bike .
They decided to try again .
但有些動詞或短語后須接動名詞作賓語，這些詞主要有 finish , enjoy , mind , keep , keep on , feel , like 等。例如：
He can finish drawing a horse in five minutes .
● 有些動詞后既可接不定式，也可接動名詞，但意義有別。現將常見動詞辨別如下：
like + 不定式表示具體動作，后接動名詞表示一般性、習慣性動作。例如：
I'd like to play football this afternoon . (指今天下午這一次)
I like playing football . (指我的愛好)
forget / remember +不定式表示“忘記 / 記住要去做某事”，接動名詞表示“忘記 / 記得做過某事”。例如：
Don't forget to close the door when you leave . 別忘了離開時把門關上。
stop +不定式表示“停下正在進行的動作進行下一個動作”，接動名詞表示“停止正在做的動作”。例如：
We stopped working at noon . 我們在中午時停止工作。
We've worked all the morning . Let's stop to have a rest . 我們干一上午了，停下來休息一會兒吧。
● 有些“be + 形容詞”結構需用不定式作狀語，這些形容詞主要有 sorry , glad , ready , angry 等。例如：
I'm sorry to hear your mother is ill .
● 介詞后接動名詞作賓語，不接不定式。例如：
What about going out for a walk ?
● 不定式符號須省略或不可省略的特例：
在 hear , see , watch , notice , make , let , feel等動詞后作賓補的不定式要省去 to。但在被動語態中，省去的 to 須補出。help 后動詞可加 to 亦可不加。例如：
They made that man work in the morning .
Let me see you play .
hat man was made to work all the morning .
Why not , had better 后不定式須省去 to。
當一個不定式結構被省略時，to 須保留下來，以代表被省去的不定式結構。例如：
- Would you like to go with me ?
- I'd love to .
● 感觀動詞后作賓補的現在分詞和不定式的區別：
不定式作賓補表示動作已發生過了。用現在分詞則表示動作與謂語所表示的動作同時進行。例如：
I heard him singing when I passed his room just now . 剛才我路過他房間時，我聽到他在唱歌。
I saw him go into that house . (他已在屋里)
● 動詞不定式的否定式是在 to 前加 not 。例如：
Tell him not to be late .
● 不定式可以和疑問詞 what , which , how , where , when 等連用，這一結構可用來簡化賓語從句。例如：
I don't know when we'll leave . =I don't know when to leave .
● 慎用句尾的不定式。
及物的不定式需加賓語。但用于句尾的不定式有時雖然是及物的，然而后面并不帶賓語。這是由于在句首或句中已有其邏輯賓語，這時不定式后就不應再跟賓語了(帶雙賓語動詞除外)。若不定式是不及物時，需加上適當的介詞或副詞。例如：
The box is too heavy for me to carry . ( carry 后不可再加 it )
He is looking for a house to live in .
◆ 怎樣看待動詞不定式的句法作用
動詞不定式具有名詞、形容詞和副詞的特征，同時也有動詞的特征。它在句中可以作：
1. 作主語。有時用 it 作形式主語放在句首，把不定式短語放在后面。如：
To learn English well is very important .
It's very important to learn English well .
- How long does it take you to get to the airport ?
- It takes me 30 minutes to get to the airport .
2. 作賓語。
Do you want to have a cup of coffee ?
在介詞 but , except 之后常用不定式作賓語。介詞前如果有 to do 的某種形式時，其后的不定式一般不帶 to 。如：
Last Sunday she did nothing else but do something sewing . 上個星期天她除了做了點針線活外，別的什么也沒有做。
在 can not but , cannot choose but , can not help but 這類短語動詞后的不定式通常也不帶 to 。如：
I cannot help but tell the truth . 我不得不說實話。
3. 作賓語補足語。
She asks me to come home as soon as possible .
4. 作表語。
The biggest problem is how to make full use of our time and money .
5. 作狀語。不定式可以作目的、原因、結果、方式狀語等。
They worked very hard , only to get little money . (結果狀語)
He stood up as if to say something .
only + 不定式表達未能預料到的結果狀語。而 only + ing 表達必然的結果。如：
He hurried home , only to find his house broken into .
6. 作定語。
Xiao Lin is always the first to come to the office .
注意作定語的不定式是不及物動詞時，后面要相應的介詞。
Finally they found a comfortable room to live in .
7. 作獨立成分。to tell the truth 說實話，to be frank 坦率地說，to be sure 可以肯定地說。
To tell you the truth (= To tell the truth , Truth to tell you ) , I don't agree with you .
To be sure , some of them will say no .
★ 單元熱點測試突破
● 如何突破作結果狀語的分詞和不定式
NMET 98 試題中有這樣一道單項填空題
European football is played in 80 countries , ____ it the most popular sport in the world .
A . making B . makes C . made D . to make
該題意在考查作結果狀語的分詞和不定式的不同用法。分詞和不定式都可以用作結果狀語，而且一般都位于主句之后。許多考生對此區分不清而誤選答案D。現就二者的不同用法作一簡單分析。
一、分詞作結果狀語，通常表示一個自然而然的、意料之中的結果，是主句謂語動詞動作的直接結果。例如：
(1) His parents died , leaving him an orphan . 父母去世了，他成為孤兒。
(2) He ran faster than ever , reaching the school quite out of breath . 他跑得更快了，結果到學校時已上氣不接下氣。
(3) He cut off the electricity quickly , preventing an accident . 他迅速切斷了電源，防止了一起意外事故。
(4) The glass fell to the ground , broken to pieces . 杯子掉在地上，打成了碎片。
二、不定式作結果狀語，通常表示繼謂語動詞動作之后發生的一個相反或出乎意料之外的結果，常表達“沒想到……”、“結果卻……”、“不料……”等意思。其前常加 only 以強調這一意外結果。例如：
(5) I called at her home , only to find the door locked . 我去過她家，結果卻發現其房門緊鎖著。

A . to give B . gives C . to be given D . giving
2 . Mr . Brown returned to his office after a holiday , only ____ broken into .

● 不定式作定語時的主動式與被動式
動詞不定式在英語教材中是比較重要的語法現象。但在教學過程中，發現學生對不定式作定語時是用主動式還是用被動式，常常沒有把握。現歸納如下，以利學生掌握。
一、在下列情況，不定式用主動形式
1 . 不定式所修飾的名詞與不定式有邏輯上的主謂關系(相當于定語從句)。例如：
He is not a man to bow before difficulties (= who will bow before difficulties) .
Have you got a key to unlock the door (= which can unlock the door) ?
This is the best book on the subject to appear this year (= that has appeared this year) .
2 . 不定式與它修飾的名詞有動賓關系，并且在句子中能找到不定式的邏輯主語。例如：
I have a lot of exercises to do today . (I 是 to do 的邏輯主語)
Do you have anything more to say ? (you 是 to say 的邏輯主語)
Mother always gives her little son some toys to play with . (her little son 是 to play with 的邏輯主語)
3 . 盡管句子中找不到不定式的邏輯主語，但不定式隱含“for sb . to do”結構的意思。例如：
This is the best book to read (= for us / you to read) .
It is already time to start spring sowing (= for peasants to start spring sowing) .
This will be a good opportunity to exchange experience (= for us to exchange experience) .
4 . 有些動詞，后面常跟不定式作賓語，其同源名詞常用不定式作定語，并且用主動形式。例如：
(He attempted to pass the test . ) = He failed in his attempt to pass the test .
(Do you intend to go there ? ） = Have you any intention to go there ?
5 . 有些形容詞，后面常跟不定式，其同源名詞也常和不定式作定語，并用主動形式。例如：
(He is determined to overcome the difficulty . )
In his speech he expressed his determination to overcome the difficulty .
(She was anxious to visit the Great Wall of China . )
We could see her anxiety to visit the Great Wall of China .
6 . 在 “with + n . + to + v . ”結構中的不定式用主動形式。例如：
With nothing to do , I sat down watching TV .
He can't go out with all these clothes to wash .
二、在下列情況，不定式用被動形式
1 . 當句子中有 by 結構，明確了不定式動作的執行者時。例如：
It was the first such project to be designed by Chinese engineers .
This will be one of the highest buildings to be built by our company this year .
2 . 當不定式修飾的名詞是將要做的事情時。例如：
The question to be discussed at the next meeting will be rather difficult .
三、當不定式所修飾的名詞是“There be…”結構中的主語時，不定式可用主動式，也可用被動式，意義無甚區別
There are many problems to work out / to be worked out .
There is no time to lose / to be lost .

〖答案與簡析〗1. 選A。區分 consider 是作“考慮”跟動名詞，還是作“認為”后跟不定式。本題作“認為”是 consider sb to do 的被動式，因為不定式的動作發生在目前仍被人們認為之前，故用不定式的完成式。2. 選B。使役動詞 make 后的不定式做賓補時不帶 to ， 但是變為被動后要加上 to 。3. 選 A。疑問詞加不定式作賓語。4. 選A。不定式的否定式是在其前直接加 not 。5. 選C。prefer to do … rather do 的變形體。6. 選A。語境暗示應用不定式的被動式。7 . 選B。不定式的完成式表達與過去相反的結果。即“本想但未能”。8. 選C。stop to do 停止去干……。 stop doing 停止干……。9. 選C。forget to do 忘記干……。forget doing 忘記干過了……。10. 選A。不定式的省略。11. 選B。不定式表達將來，語境要求用其被動式。12. 選A。在 be + adj. + 不定式中，不定式常用主動形式代表被動形式。13. 選C。mean to do 意思是干……。mean doing 意味著……。14. 選B。15. 選 A。作“需要”的 want , need , require 后面用動名詞或者不定式的被動式。

【創新園地】答案
1. hardly → hard 。2. it 前加 but 。3. himself → it 。it 是指紐約的那家雜志。4. 刪去 on 。 keep one's promise “信守諾言”。5. √ 。6. asked → asking 。7. letter → story 。根據上下文，此處指杰克倫敦答應撰寫的“文章”。8. kicking → kick 。這里kicking 與上一行中的 come 為并列關系。9. break → keep 或always →never 。編輯要表白的就是他“最能信守諾言”。10. can → could 。“用腳寫文章”對 Jack London 來說是不可能的，故用虛擬語氣。
