Home to Many CulturesPPT，第四部分内容：教材解读

1.Three percent of all Canadians are First Nations people.

◆percent意为“百分之……”。“百分数+of+名词”作主语时,谓语动词的单复数形式取决于of后面的名词。

◆First Nations意为“第一民族”,指加拿大被官方认可的印第安人社区。

2.Now more than half of Canadians have British or French blood.

half of…意为“一半的……”,后加名词,以这类短语作主语时,如果后面的名词是不可数名词,谓语动词用单数;如果后面的名词是可数名词复数,谓语动词用复数。

3.The rest are from every part of the world:Asia,Africa,Central America,South America,Australia and other European countries.

rest在本句中用作名词,the rest意为“剩余部分,其余;其余的人”,表示“……的剩余”,要用the rest of,作主语时其谓语的形式要由of后名词的单复数而定。

4.In the 1970s and 1980s,that changed.

表示“某世纪几十年代”可在表示整几十年份的数字后加“s”或“’s”,in the 1970s=in the 1970’s,意为“在20世纪70年代”。

5.According to a survey,the number of European immigrants dropped from 90 percent to 25 percent,and the number of Asian immigrants rose from 3 percent to 48 percent.

◆according to…意为“根据……”,后加名词或代词,用作状语,多用于句首。主要用来表示“根据”某学说、某书刊、某文件、某人所说等或表示“按照”某法律、某规定、某惯例、某情况等。

◆句中的the number of意为“……的数量”,后加名词,以这类短语作主语时,谓语动词多使用单数形式。类似的短语有a number of,意为“一些”,后加名词复数,以这类短语作主语时,谓语动词多使用复数形式。

6.It is important that people from different cultures can live together in one country.

it在句中作形式主语,真正的主语是that引导的从句。important,impossible,necessary,proper等形容词后的that从句,无论主语是第几人称,谓语都可以用动词原形。　　  

7.Not really.

not really意为“事实上不是(或不会、没有)”。

8.Is there a Canadian way of understanding the world?

句中way of doing…意为“做……的方法”,其中的“of +v.-ing”用在名词way后作定语,它可用不定式替换。故这句话还可说为:Is there a Canadian way to understand the world?

9.It’s that people should respect and accept one another and help one another.

◆accept在本句中意为“承认,认可”。

◆one another意为“互相”,与each other同义。
