课文回顾
Once, having been invited to dinner at a university, he was put on the spot when the president suddenly asked him to give a speech.
句意：有一次，他被邀请去一所大学吃晚餐，当校长突然让
他去演讲，这让他很为难。
put... on the spot: If you put someone on the spot, you
cause them embarrassment or difficulty by forcing them
at that moment to answer a difficult question or make an
important decision.
例：I don’t want to put you on the spot, but I’m
really curious about how you know him.
Once, having been invited to dinner at a university, he was
put on the spot when the president suddenly asked him to
give a speech.
句意：有一次，他被邀请去一所大学吃晚餐，当校长突然让他
去演讲，这让他很为难。
having been invited为现在完成时的被动语
态结构；invite和句子真正的主语he之间为
被动关系，因此用被动语态。
例：The child has been taken care of by
gandma all these years.
这些年来，孩子一直由奶奶照看。
句意：林语堂急中生智，开始讲述一个残忍的罗马皇帝要把
一个人喂给野兽的故事。
Thinking on his feet, Lin started to tell a story about a cruel Roman emperor who tried to feed a man to wild animals.
think on one's feet: to have good ideas and make decisions
quickly in a difficult situation.
例：You have to think on your feet in this job.
此结构为现在分词作状语。从时间上看，现在分词的一
般式表示的动作与谓语动词的动作同时发生或几乎同时
发生；从语态上看，现在分词表示主动的动作，
它的逻辑主语就是句子的主语。
现在分词作状语用法小结

Writing about a comedian

How to write about a famous comedian
Read the blog post and match the headings to the paragraphs.
1. Charlie Chaplin was a British actor, filmmaker and composer. He became famous in the 1910s, when films were silent and in black and white.
2. Charlie Chaplin was one of the best comedy actors of his time because he knew how to use his body and facial features to make people laugh. In my opinion, the funniest thing about Charlie Chaplin was the way he walked when he was acting as the Tramp, who is his most famous character. The Tramp is a poor man with a kind heart who has unexpected adventures. These adventures, often involving the police, are usually the funniest scenes.
3. My favourite Charlie Chaplin film is Modern Times and my favourite scene is in the factory where Charlie Chaplin is working on a production line. When a bee starts circling around Charlie's face, he falls behind with his work. It's so funny to watch him trying to keep up!
4. I think the power of Charlie Chaplin’s works is not only in his acting, but also in the stories and characters he created. The Tramp is a symbol of the silent cinema and even after so many years, he is till able to make people laugh.
