1. be used to 習(xí)慣于

這是個(gè)形容詞性短語，短語中的to是介詞，后面接名詞或者代詞。如果要時(shí)候習(xí)慣于做某事的話，遇到的是動詞，就要使用動詞的動名詞形式，即：be used to doing。

Eg. He is used to eating out all the time. 他已經(jīng)習(xí)慣在外面吃飯了。You'll get used to the weather.你會習(xí)慣這天氣的。(be used to 和get used to比較)

2. on + 修飾詞+occasion

當(dāng)occasion要表達(dá)“在……情況，場合下”的意思時(shí)，一定是跟介詞on搭配。修飾詞不同，就有不同的意思?？偟膩碚f，在occasion前面的修飾詞有指示代詞，數(shù)詞和形容詞。

(1)on this/that occasion 此時(shí)(彼時(shí))

Eg. On that occasion he looked a perfect fool. 在這個(gè)場合，他看起來就像一個(gè)大傻瓜。I was not at home on that occasion. 那時(shí)我正好不在家。

(2)on the present/last occasion 在這次(上次)

Eg. On the last occasion of the election, he was hard-pressed to ensure that a supportive government emerged. 在上一次選舉中，他對操縱政府已經(jīng)感到力不從心。

注解：hard-pressed ['hɑ:d'prest] adj. 經(jīng)濟(jì)拮據(jù)的, 被催逼的, 經(jīng)歷大困難的ensure [in??u?] vt.保證，擔(dān)保，確保 supportive [s?'p?:tiv] adj.支持的;擁護(hù)的emerge [i'm?:d?] 出現(xiàn);顯現(xiàn) ensure sth sth 確保某物是某物

Eg. On the present occasion he had a good deal of curiosity to the event of an evening which had raised such splendid expectations. 這次他極想知道大家朝思暮想的這一個(gè)盛會，經(jīng)過情形究竟如何。

注解：curiosity [?kju?ri'?siti] n.好奇心 curiosity to sth 對......的好奇心

expectations [?ekspek'tei??n] [ pl.]前程，成功的前景 a good deal of 很多，大量的(它只修飾不可數(shù)名詞)

(3)on several occasions幾次

Eg . On several occasions he strolled home with her. 有幾次他陪她走回家。

注解：stroll [str?ul] n.散步，閑逛 stroll to somewhere with sb 和某人散步到某處

Eg .Of late he had pleaded office duty on several occasions when his wife asked for his company to any evening entertainment. 但是近來他太太要他晚上陪她出去玩時(shí)，他好幾次推托說事情忙，脫不開身。

注解：plead [pli:d] 提出......為借口(理由)entertainment [?ent?'teinm?nt] 消遣，娛樂 company ['k?mp?ni] 陪伴 office duty 辦公室工作asked for one's company to sth 叫某人陪自己去做某事 evening entertainment 晚間娛樂，晚間消遣 of late 近來，最近 (Eg. The days have been getting warmer of late. 近來天變得熱了。)

(4)on occasion 偶爾, 有時(shí)

Eg . I meet her on occasion at the club or at the theatre. 我有時(shí)在俱樂部或劇院里遇到她。Despite their intelligence, cleaver men can still be tricked on occasion. 聰明的人也有被戲弄的時(shí)候。

3. such as 例如，諸如

Eg. In this paragraph there are many nouns, such as boy, girl, and book.這一段里面有很多名詞，例如男孩、女孩和書本。It's more useful to learn modern languages, such as English and German, than Latin.學(xué)習(xí)英語和德語等現(xiàn)代語言比學(xué)習(xí)拉丁語更為有用。

說完了生詞和短語，我們就要來看句法，無法不成章。您要把上文的意思清楚的跟老外說，我還得要說2個(gè)語法現(xiàn)象。

1. 我們剛才說到了mention這個(gè)詞，那么在文中要使用過去分詞修飾不定代詞one。文中為：the most important one mentioned提及到的最重要的一種窗花。因?yàn)閙ention與one存在被動關(guān)系，所以要用過去分詞。

2. 用customary這個(gè)詞在句子中在表述“習(xí)慣上”“慣例上”做某事，要用上形式主語it和動詞不定式做真實(shí)主語，即：It is customary to do sth. 例句在我們的單詞中已經(jīng)出現(xiàn)了，在此就不講了。
