3b Ideas for advice

课文讲解 But I just found out that my friends were planning a birthday party for my best friend. 但是我刚刚发现我的朋友们已在为我最好的朋友计划一 个生日聚会。 found是find的过去式，find out 意为“找出；发现；查 出（真相）”，find和find out都有“发现”的意思，二 的语义差别是：find往往指凭一时的直接感觉或偶然发现， 而find out则需经一番努力后发现出来，有“查明；弄清” 的意思。如： a) He found a bag on the chair. 他在椅子上发现了一个包。 b) Please find out when the train will leave. 请查明火车什么时间发车。

2) were planning是过去进行时。过去进行时主要表 示过去某个时刻或某一阶段正在进行的动作。如： — What were you doing at nine last night? 你昨晚9点在干什么？ — I was still working in my office. 我仍在办公室里忙。 过去进行时动词变化：was / were + doing（现在分词） 如： When I was cleaning the windows, my brother was sleeping. 当我在擦窗户时，我的弟弟在睡觉。

Everyone else in my class was invited except me, and I don’t know why. 除了我， 班里每个人都被邀请了，我不知道为什么。 1) else修饰不定代词（something, everything, somebody, anybody等），疑问代词（who, which, whom等）和疑问副词（when, where等）。else用 在这些词后面，译为“别的”。如： a) What else can you do? 你还能做什么？ b) Is there anything else you don’t know？ 还有什么你不知道的？

2) except是介词，表示“除了……”，“除了我”译为“except me”。except强调“除去”（后边跟的人或物不包含在内）。如： a) Except Li Ming, there are forty-five students in the class. 除了李明，班上有45名学生。 b) The class went to the aquarium except me. 除了我，全班其他同学都去了水族馆。
