The explorers accomplished the voyage in three weeks.探險(xiǎn)隊(duì)在三星期里完成了海程。(到達(dá)目的地)
complete比accomplish更具體。后面最常用建筑、工程、書籍等名詞作賓語(這些都不能用accomplish)
The building will be completed by the end of this month.這座樓將與月底結(jié)束。
finish和complete在許多情況可以通用,但是以下三點(diǎn)要注意:
①finish后面可接動(dòng)名詞族賓語,而complete則不能
He has finished speaking.他的話說完了。
②finish指消極的“完成”,如用完,吃完等;complete則指積極性的完成。因此“吃完飯”只能翻譯成:finish a meal。這個(gè)區(qū)別在下面的句子中非常明顯:
I have finished the book我已經(jīng)讀完這本書了。
I have completed the book我已經(jīng)寫完這本書了。
③finish在被動(dòng)語態(tài)中可以有“全完了”,而complete則沒有此意義

現(xiàn)在的人都不迷信了,因此算命這一行就算完了。
13.The group may be temporary or stay together for a long period of time.
這個(gè)組合可能是臨時(shí)的,也可能是長期的。

uncertain 不確定的,不可預(yù)測的
It is uncertain that there's a cure for this illness at present. 現(xiàn)在這種病尚無確實(shí)可靠的療法。
復(fù)習(xí)sure和certain的聯(lián)系和區(qū)別:(供學(xué)生閱讀消化)英語中的sure和certain是近義形容詞,均有“肯定的;確信的;有把握的”的意思,它們的用法也大體相似,許多情況下可以通用,但它們之間也有一些差別。 相同點(diǎn)兩者都能用于“be sure/certain + about /of短語”句型中,表示“對(duì)(某事)有把握”。主語必須是人,about/of之后多跟名詞、代詞。 I am sure/certain of his returning. 我確信他會(huì)回來。
He is quite sure/certain of /about it. 他對(duì)這事很有把握。 兩者都能用于be sure/certain to do sth句型中,表示“一定會(huì)做某事”,主語可以是人,也可以是物。 Spring is sure/certain to follow winter. 冬天過后一定是春天。
They are sure/certain to come. 他們一定會(huì)來的。
兩者都能用于“be sure/certain +從句”句型中,表示“確信……”,主語只能是人,而不能是物。 Tom is sure/certain that I put the key on the table. 湯姆確信我把鑰匙放在桌子上了。
We are sure/certain that the book will be of great help to us.我們相信這本書對(duì)我們會(huì)有很大幫助。 兩者都能用于“make sure/certain +從句”結(jié)構(gòu)中,表示“確定;弄清楚”,主語只能是人。 You must make sure/certain when the bus will leave. 你必須弄清汽車何時(shí)出發(fā)。 He made sure/certain that he had turned off the gas. 他確信他關(guān)掉了煤氣。不同點(diǎn)
“I ' m sure…”與“I ' m certain…”均可譯為“我深信(確)信……”,但兩者的含義卻不同。前者表示一種主觀上的判斷或感覺,事實(shí)并不一定如此。后者強(qiáng)調(diào)的則是客觀事實(shí),意為主語已經(jīng)知道后面的內(nèi)容是既定的事實(shí)。試比較下面一組句子:I'm sure he didn't steal it. He isn’t that kind of person. 我確信他沒偷,他不是那種人。
I'm certain he didn't break the cup.I broke it myself.
我敢肯定他沒有打碎那個(gè)茶杯,(因?yàn)椋┠莻(gè)茶杯是我打碎的。 如果it作為形式主語代替從句時(shí),則其后的表語用certain,而不能用sure。 It isn ' t certain whether he will give us a report next Monday.
下星期一他是否來為我們作報(bào)告還不能確定。 兩者在作定語時(shí)含義不同:sure意為“可靠的;無誤的”;而certain若修飾可數(shù)名詞,意為“某一;某些;某種;一些”,若修飾抽象名詞,表示程度,意為“有點(diǎn);有些”。 The letter was sent by a sure hand. 信已由一位可靠的人寄出了。
He made a sure answer. 他回答得準(zhǔn)確無誤。
A certain person called on me yesterday. 昨天有個(gè)人來找過我。 在祈使句中常用sure,不宜用certain。
Be sure and remember what I told you. 千萬要記住我對(duì)你講的話。
Be sure to write and tell me all the good news. 務(wù)必寫信告訴我所有的好消息。 口語中,sure常作副詞,用在肯定答語中替代surely,這時(shí)與of course,certainly意思相當(dāng),而certain不可作副詞用。
-Would you please turn down the radio a little bit? 請(qǐng)你把收音機(jī)音量擰小點(diǎn),好嗎?
-Sure. 當(dāng)然可以。-Do you still remember our first fishing trip?
-I sure do. 你還記得我們第一次去釣魚嗎?當(dāng)然記得了。
小結(jié)不同點(diǎn)
sure certain
表示判斷 主觀上的 客觀上的
It作形式主語 不可用 可用
作定語的意義 可靠的;無誤的 某一;某些;某種;一些
在祈使句中 常用sure 不宜用certain
作副詞用 可以 不可
15.Roles of team members are accepted and there are no conflicts expectation and responsibilities attached to each role.他們的職責(zé)是經(jīng)過大家認(rèn)可的。對(duì)每個(gè)職責(zé)的期望值和責(zé)任新大家沒有異議。
