今日发音练习重点

1. as well as 注意词间舌侧音和元音的连读；

2. violence 包含三个音节，第一二音节之间元元连读以/j/连接。

言之有物

1. 词链儿：those who do nothing

那些什么都不做的人

Those (people) who = They/People who 意为“凡是…的人们”

those who 是复数句型，但我们也可用单数句型来表达相同的意思：

He/One who = Anyone who = Whoever + 单数动词。

例句：

Those who have money do not want for friends. (凡是有钱的人都不会缺乏朋友)

= He who has money does not want for friends.

= Whoever has money does not want for friends. (Whoever = Anyone who)

Do you think those who work hard are sure to succeed?

你认为努力工作的人一定会成功吗？

2. 词汇：invite v.

①邀请，招待

They've invited us to stay for the weekend.

他们已邀请我们留下来度周末。

②引起，招致

You're just inviting trouble if you do that.

如果你那样做，只能是惹麻烦。

inviting adj. 吸引人的，诱人的

an inviting smell 诱人的气味

3. 词链儿：as well as 精讲

*很多人把它误以为"and"的同义词，但其实它表达的是”not only(不但) … but also(而且)”，在已知的事实外，添加更多信息的意思。

John, as well as Mary, wants to leave early.

在这个范例中，as well as用来表示不仅Mary，John也想要早点离开。因为主语是John，所以谓语动词用wants 

Animals, as well as plants, need water to survive.

此范例中，animas则是复数名词，动词使用need。

He hurt his arm as well as breaking his leg.

She draws as well as designing clothes.

这两个例句中，我们以as well as连接两个动作，而接在as well as后的动作，请改为动名词形式。

× He hurt his arm as well as broke his leg.

× She draws as well as designs clothes.

I have to clean the floors as well as cook food.

我不仅要做饭，还要打扫地板。

此句中使用了不定词to clean，但接在as well as后的动作，请别也在前面加上to，而是直接使用原形动词即可。

× I have to clean the floors as well as to cook food.
