联系我们1.Jackie is talking to Yang Pei about a conference which Jackie has just been to.杰克正和杨蓓谈论他出席过的一次会议。
▲ conference 意为“会议”，一般是指大型的正式的会议，有重要的事情在会上讨论，如政治，经济等。如 a press conference年会，a roundtable conference圆桌会议，同样作“会议”解释的还有两个词即 congress 和meeting，前者通常指各地或各方代表参加的国家政治性会议，后者是普通用语，可指任何会议。例：
The conference on international economic problems met in Geneva.关于国际经济问题的会议在日内瓦召开。
Our headmaster has just been to a conference on educational work.我们校长刚出席教育工作会议会来
There will soon be elections to our congress.国会很快就要举行选举。
I’m sorry I have to go.I have a meeting to attend.对不起，我得走了，我有一个会议出席。
2.What was the conference like? Very interesting. It was called” Saving the earth”and it was all about the damage that is being caused to the world.这次会议开的怎么样?很有意思，会议叫做“拯救地球”大会，讨论有关对世界造成的破坏的问题。
▲在本句中that is being caused to the earth是一个定语从句修饰damage。从句中的谓语动词is being caused是现在进行时态的被动语态。例：
The building that is being built is the library of our school.正在建造的那幢大楼是我们学校的图书馆。
The lecture that is being given by Professor White is about the history of American literature.怀特教授现在所作的演讲是关于美国文学史的。
The problem is being discussed by a group of eXPerts.这个问题目前正由一个专家组讨论。
▲ What is (was)…like是询问某人对某事的看法，要求对方作出简单的评价或描述外表等。例：
What’s your chemistry teacher like? He is an ordinary little man with thick glasses.你们化学老师是怎样一个人?他相貌平常，矮个子，戴深度近视眼镜。
What’s the city of Hangzhou like? Very beautiful. 杭州城怎么样?很美。
What’s the dictionary like? A pocket one. Simple but clear. 那种字典怎么样?是一种袖珍词典，简单但明了。
▲damage 与 destroy 。本句中的 damage是名词，作“损坏，损害”解释，不可数，意指损伤或降低物的价值，一般是指部分性的损坏。例：
The accident did very little damage to either car.事故给两辆车造成的损害很小。
An early frost damaged the crops.早霜损害了庄稼。
How much must I pay for the damage?我要为这损坏赔多少钱?
【注】damage也可作“赔偿费”解释，这时是可数名词。例 ：
The court ordered him to pay￡1500 damages to the person he had hurt.法庭宣判他付1500英镑的赔偿费给被他伤害的人。
He claimed￡5000damages from his employers for the loss of his right arm while at work.由于在工作中失去了右臂，他要求他的雇主付5000英镑的赔偿金。
▲ Damage也可作动词用，意思与作名词时相同。例：
The gale damaged several houses.大风损坏了几间房子。
Her heart was slightly damaged as a result of her long illness.长期生病对好他的心脏有所损害。
▲上面讲的是damage的意思和用法，下面我们讨论destroy的用法及与damage的区别。Destroy只能作动词用，本意是“摧毁，毁掉，消灭”，其表示的损害程度远大于 damage，一般指较大损害且已不能被挽救或修理。例：
An atom bomb would destroy a city.一颗原子弹可以毁掉一个城市。
All his hopes were destroyed.他所有的希望都破灭了。
Works of art, historical monuments and priceless historical records were destroyed.艺术作品，历史纪念碑和珍贵的历史记录都被毁坏了。
3. What did you do at the meeting? Well, we listened to lectures about pollution, agriculture, nuclear waste, radiation and so on.你们在会上做了些什么?我们听了些关于污染，农业核废料，辐射等的报告。
It’s a good idea to hold such conferences. Yes. If we go on polluting the world, it won’t be fit for us to live in.开这样的会是一个好主意。是的，如果我们继续污染这个世界，那么这个世界就不适合我们生活了。
▲ Hold此处意为“举行”，指举行会议，展览，仪式，示威游行，考试，比赛等。
The exhibition will be held from Monday to Wednesday.展览会将在星期一至星期三举行。
When is the examination to be held?考试什么时候举行?
These contents were held from time to time in various parts of England and on the continent.这些比赛不时在英国各地和欧洲大陆举行。
▲be fit for“合适，称职”此处fit是形容词，后接for引起的介词短语和不定式。
He is not fit to be a member of this club.作为这个俱乐部的成员，他不合适。
She is not fit to live by herself.她不适合单独生活。
The manager is not fit for his position.经理不称职。
I should say she wasn’t fit to do anything of the sort.我要说她不适合作这种事情。
▲ fit也可作定语。例：
We must decide on a fit time and place for the meeting.我们必须决定在一个适当的时间和地点召开会议。
He is not a fit person to decide what should be done。 他不是一个决定作什么事情的合适人选。
Grass is a fit food for cows; it is not fit for men.草是牛的合适的食物，但不是给人吃的。
▲ Fit也可作“健康，身体好”解释。例：

He is fit enough to run twice that distance.他非常健康，能跑这个距离的两倍。
These days he looks fitter than I’ve ever seen him.这些天他看上去比任何时候都健康。
▲ Fit也可作动词用，意为“使合适，适(大，小)合身”。例：
The dress fit her perfectly.那衣服穿在她身上合适极了。
His behavior doesn’t fit his important new position.他的行为与他所居的这新的重要职位不相适合。
【注】fit和suit都可作动词，都是“合适”之意，但意思有所不同。如果说Your clothes fit you.那是说衣服尺码合适，不大不小;要是说Your clothes suit you.那是说你穿的衣服好看，款式和花色都合适。例：
Red and black are colours that suit me very well.红黑两色是很适合我的颜色。
Do you think this style suits me?你觉得这种款色适合我穿吗?
These shoes don’t fit me---Have you got a larger size?这鞋我穿这不合适—你们有大一点的吗?
4.I agree with you.We have got to do something about pollution. It’s getting worse. Yes,it certainly is.
