组成（或起主要作用）的乐队。英语中“the+姓或名的复数形式”这一结构可用来表示某 一群体，如表示某一姓氏的家庭，或同名的某几个人所姐成的小群体。如：the Greens 格 林一家.相当于the Green family the Jacks 杰克小组;杰克社团;杰克帮等。,Language points,2）此句中情态动词must的意思是“一定；准是”，而非“必须”。作这一用法时must表示推测，暗含很大的可能性。又如：They must be there by now.他们现在准到那儿了。,2.the“good old days”过去的好时光！英语中the good old days是一个习惯用语，指一个人人生中或历史上的一段比现更好的幸福时光，可译作“过去的好日子”。例如：I wish my grandma would stop talking about the good old days.我真希望我奶奶能停止唠叨那过去的好时光。In the good old days,going to a movie only cost 5 cents.在当初的好 日子里，去看一场电影只要5分钱就够了。,3.I hope to see him sing live one day!我希望有一天看到他现场演唱!1）see someone do something是一个常见的结构，表示“看见某人做某事”。英语中有一些表示感知的动词，如see(看）、watch(观看)、feel(感觉)、hear(听到）、listen to(听）、smell(嗅）等用于主动态时，后面可以接名词（或代词）+不带to的不定 式(或-ing形式）。,又如：I watched them get on the bus one by one,and then we waved goodbye to each other.我看着他们一个个上了公共汽车，然后我们相互挥手道别。,2）live可用作动词、形容词或副词，且用作不同词性时发音有所不同。作动词时，live读作/lIv/，表示“居住；生存；过生活”等含义。作形容词和副词时，live读作/laIv/在上面的句子中，live为副词，意思是“在现场直播；在现场表演”。又如：Lang Lang is playing live in our city tonight.朗朗今晚在我们城市举办现场演奏。,1、你来晚了，电影已放了10分钟了。A:You are late.The film for 10 minutes.B:You are late.It ten minutes since the film.C:You are late.The film 10 minutes.,has been
