一、教學目標
通過本章學習, 使學生明白表語的概念及表語的用法。
二、教學重點和難點
不定式、分詞、動名詞作表語及表語從句。
三、教學方法
Teacher
1．在謂語一章中我們已分析過表語, 最常見的是 be動詞及 become。
2．在使用中我們常見到不定式用在be動詞后邊作表語。由于不定式表明一個具體的動作, 當放在be動詞后邊時表示即將要去做的事。請將下列句子翻譯成漢語并作分析：
3．
A．The news sounds inspiring.
B．His absence is disappointing.
C．We are interested in the story.
D．After a long walk, we all felt tired.
E．He has got married.
一般來說～ing形式作表語表示主語的特征, 具有影響別人的能力；～ed形式作表語表示受到影響而呈現的狀態。
4．A句是動名詞作表語, 表示主語job的內容。
B句是現在分詞作表語, 表示主語result 的特征。
動名詞與現在分詞作表語的不同就是前者是表內容, 后者是表特征。
5．這是一個含有主語從句和表語從句的復合句, 在后邊的章節中會作進一步闡述。
Students
1．表語表明主語的身份、狀態、樣子、方位、處所, 除了be, become這兩個系動詞外, 還有一些本身既是行為動詞又是系動詞的詞。
2．
A．I am to go to town.
我要進城。
B．My work is to clean the classroom.
我的工作是打掃教室。
3．A．這消息聽起來挺鼓舞人心的。是現在分詞作表語, 表示本身具有影響別人的特征。
B．他的缺席令人失望。與上句一樣表示主動。
C．我們對這故事感興趣。過去分詞作表語, 表示故事有趣, 使得我們對它感興趣, 因此用過去分詞。
D．走了一大段路, 我們都感到累了。過去分詞作表語, 是走路使得我們累, 我們才感到累。
E．他結婚了。表示一狀態, 過去分詞作表語。 get married是個詞組。
4．同樣都是～ing 形式作表語, 遇到這樣的句子, 怎樣解釋？
A．My job is running the machine.
B．The result is exciting.
5．如何理解下面這個句子？
Why he hasn't come is that he has something important to do at home.
