What is Jasper White's problem?
Jasper White is one of those rare people who believes in ancient myths. he has just bought a
new house in the city, but ever since he moved in, he has had trouble with cars and their owners.
When he returns home at night, he always finds that someone has parked a car outside his gate.
Because of this, he has not been able to get his own car into his garage even once. Jasper has put
up 'No Parking' signs outside his gate, but these have not had any effect. Now he has put an ugly
stone head over the gate. It is one of the ugliest faces I have ever seen. I asked him what it was and
he told me that it was Medusa, the Gorgon. jasper hopes that she will turn cars and their owners to
stone. But none of them has been turned to stone yet!

参考译文
贾斯珀.怀特是少有的相信古代神话的人之一。他刚在城里买下一所新房子,但自从搬
进去后,就和汽车及车主们发生了磨擦。当他夜里回到家时,总是发现有人把车停在他家大
门外。为此,他甚至一次也没能把自己的车开进车库。贾斯珀曾把几块“禁止停车”的牌子
挂在大门外边,但没有任何效果。现在他把一个丑陋的石雕头像放在了大门上边,这是我见
过的最丑陋的头像之一。我问他那是什么?他告诉我那是蛇发女怪美杜莎。贾斯珀希望她把
汽车和车主们都变成石头。但到目前为止还没有一个变成石头呢!

【Text】
【课文讲解】
one of 其中之一
one of the students
believe in 信任; 信仰 (并不只是相信的意思,有任何时候都 “相信” 彻彻底底的相信即
信任)
关系代词 : who,whom,which,that
关系代词后面要加从句
先行词是主句和从句共同有的一个词
I have a book that/which he likes.( “book” 为先行词 “that/which” 为关系代词)
关系代词有两个功能 : 一是承上, 一是启下(如上句中的 “book” 作从句的宾语)
The boy is my brother.
The boy is standing at the door.
The boy who is standing at the door is my brother.
I can do anything I can to help you.
I can do anything that I can do. 我愿意做我力所能及的事情来帮助你
Jasper White is one of those rare people who believe in ancient myths.
who 在这是关系词, 起承上启下的作用
believe 用在 people 之后应该用复数对待
who 在从句中指代的是单数, 就用单数对待, 在从句中指代的是复数就用复数对待
如果在定语从句中出现了 one of 作为先行词, 它后边的关系代词指代的是后面的复数名
词
如果在 one of 前面还有一修饰词 (the) only,那么后边的关系代词将指代 one 这个词, 才
作单数看
He is the only one of those rare people who believes in ancient myths.
one of 直接作主语的时候, 它是做单数看待的
One of the answers is ture.
One of those people is good.
ever since=since
have trouble doing 做...有麻烦
have trouble with sb. 和某人相处有麻烦
I have trouble with my roommate.
in the morning 每天早晨
in the afternoon 每天下午
at night 每天晚上
park a car 停车
because of 由于
because 的后面加句子
because of 的后面加词或动词 “-ing”
be able to 的主语一般都是人, 表示有能力去做
get his car into his garage.
I drove the car into the wall.
I drove the car into the tree.
drive the car into 把车子撞上某地
get sth into 把...弄进
even once : 甚至一次,even 起强调
put up 张贴
put up the pictures on the wall 在墙上贴画
not any = no
on 接触在上面
over 悬挂在上面
one of 后面加可数名词的复数
I have ever seen 做定语从句, 修饰前边的 faces
如果关系词在从句中做宾语, 关系词可以省略, 所以 I 前的 which 被省略
This is the most difficult thing I have ever done.
This is the most terrible news I have ever heard.
有两个结构一定是最高级
1.of+范围 (of all the students)
2.in+地点
He is the tallest in the room.
3.I have ever 从句
hope 的后面加 that 从句
turn sth to 把前者变成后者
turn the prince to a frog (prince [ ] n.王子 frog [ ] n.青蛙 vi.捕蛙)
He was turned to a frog
turn cars and their owners to stone
none of,neither of 做主语时做单数看待
先行词 : 放在定语从句前面, 而且是两句话共同含有的词, 还是被定语从句修饰的词
定语从句 : 句子做定语, 一般放在被修饰词后面
四个关系代词 :
who;whom;which;that
who 在从句当中做主语或做宾语
whom 只能在从句当中做宾语
which 指物, 即可以做主语, 又可以做宾语
that 即可以指物, 又可以指人, 即可以做主语, 又可以做宾语
