1.…suddenly had severe pains in her chest accompanied by shortness of breath.
哪个部位的疼痛,通常用pain in…来表示,比如:a pain in the abdomen(腹部疼痛),a pain in the chest(胸部疼痛)。当然我们也可以用abdomen pain,chest pain 来表达。而a pain in the neck 则是指“令人讨厌或恼火的人或事”)。
pain是个常用词,可以做名词用也可以做动词用。
1)No pains, no gains.(不劳则无获。)
2)Father went to great pains to stress the importance of independence.(父亲煞费苦心地强调独立的重要性。)
3)The death of his daughter gave the old man much pain. (女儿的去世令那位老人极为悲痛。)
4)My left leg is paining.(我的左腿痛。)
5)It pains her to see him thinner from illness.(看到他因病日渐消瘦,她心里很难过。)
be accompanied by 意为“由…伴随”;如:
1)He burst into the room accompanied by his body guards.(他在保镖的伴随下闯进屋里。)
2)Pneumonia is often accompanied by fever and cough. (肺炎常常伴有发烧和咳嗽。)
2.Her husband immediately rushed Anne to a nearby hospital where her pains were diagnosed as having been caused by panic,and not a heart attack.
请注意“rush”在本句中的用法。在此作及物动词用。如:
1)He rushed the tourists round the sights. (他带着游客们匆匆参观了各处名胜。)
2)The ambulance rushed him to a hospital.(救护车火速送他进医院。)
3)Let me think about it and don't rush me.(让我把这件事想一下,别催我。)
在大多数情况下rush作不及物动词和名词用。如:
1)The rain rushed against the house.(暴雨冲打着屋子。)
2)The reporters are rushing to the scene.(记者们正赶往现场。)
3)Blood rushed to his face when the young man offered to buy him a pudding.
(当那位年轻人提出给他买个蛋糕时,血涌上了他的脸。)
4)There is no rush.(不用急急忙忙的。)
5)She felt a sudden rush of dizziness.(她感到一阵眩晕。)
6)He went to America during the Californian gold rush.(他在加利福尼亚淘金热时去了美国。)
nearby 可以做形容词用,也可以做副词用,在本句中用作形容词,修饰其后的名词hospital.
diagnose…as… 把…诊断为…,如:
1)His failure was diagnosed as being caused by carelessness.(他的失败被判定为由粗心所致。)
2)The doctor diagnosed her illness as diabetes.(医生诊断她的病是糖尿病。)
因为句子中的as是介词,在介词后要用动名词,又由于需用被动语态,所以出现了having been caused by的形式。
3.More and more Americans nowadays are having panic attacks like the one experienced by Anne Peters.
本句中的like是一个出现频率很高的词,在下列例句中,like用作介词:
1)She is like a bird.(如像鸟儿一样。)
2)It was not like him to forget her birthday.(他才不会把她的生日忘记呢。)
3)I feel like sleeping.(我想睡觉。)
4)It looks like a clear day tomorrow. (明天看来会是晴天。)
5)He acts like a grown up person.(他的举止行动像成人。)
experienced by Anne Peters 在句子中做定语,修饰the one .
1)I don't like the one chosen by him.(我不喜欢他选择的那一个。)
2)The camera bought by Xiao Li is stolen.(小李买的那个相机被偷了。)
4.The symptoms of panic attacks bear such remarkable similarity to those of heart attacks that many victims believe that they are indeed having a heart attack.
通常我们用so…that…。 表示“如此……以致于……” .本句中的such ,是因为so只能用来修饰形容词和副词,而名词(名词短语)则要用 such 来修饰,如:
1)He ran so fast that no one could catch up with him.(他跑得这样快,没人能赶上他。)
2)This book is so interesting that he doesn't want to put is down.(这本书太有意思了,他都不想把书放下。)
3)It was such a sunny day that he wanted to go out to enjoy the warm sunshine.(天气如此睛朗,他想出去享受这温暖的阳光。)
