I’m sure you know that this group was set up to help disabled people like me. 1) set up意为“建立;设立”,在此处为被动语态(be + done) set up 还可意为“摆放好”。 e.g. Tom, set up the table for dinner. set相关短语: set out 动身;着手做 set off 出发;引起;使爆炸 2) disabled adj. 丧失能力的;有残疾的 disabled作形容词,the disabled意为“残疾人”,表示复数概念。 He was born disabled but he didn’t give up. I worked as a volunteer to help the disabled. 【拓展延伸】 一些词加否定前缀dis-可以构成它的反义词,如: agree (同意) — disagree (不同意) appear (出现) — disappear (消失) honest (诚实的) — dishonest (不诚实的) 2. You helped to make it possible for me to have Lucky. make it + adj. + for sb. to do sth. 使做某事对某人来说…… 该结构中it作形式宾语,真正的宾语是后面的动词不定式短语。 His help makes it easy for me to learn English. 【拓展延伸】除make外,常用于这种结构的还有think, find等。 I think it useful for us to master a foreign language.

I can’t use my arms or legs well, so normal things like answering the telephone, opening and closing doors, or carrying things are difficult for me. carry v. 拿;提;扛 【易混辨析】 carry, take, bring与get ①carry 拿; 提; 扛 没有方向性,具有负重的含义,表示搬运;携带。 ②take 拿走; 带走 指把人或物从说话者所在的地方带到别处。有方向性。 ③bring 拿来; 带来 指把人或物从别的地方带到说话者所在的地方。有方向性。 ④get 去取; 去拿 指到某地去把某人或某物带来或拿来。表示来回。 He was carrying a big bag.

Then one day last year, a friend of mine helped me out. a friend of mine 我的一位朋友 a friend of mine相当于one of my friends,是双重所有格。如果被所有格修饰的名词前有冠词、数词、不定代词或指示代词等,常用双重所有格,即“of+’s所有格/名词性物主代词”的形式,来表示所属关系。 John is a friend of my father’s (= John is one of my father’s friends.) 6.
