1. We’re learning about different types of literature in our English class this week.
Language points
literature 为不可数名词，意为“文学作品；文学”，还可意为“文献”。
literature 的常见搭配：
modern literature 现代文学 English literature 英国文学

literary adj. 文学的；文学上的

老师让我们写一篇短的文学作品。
2. They’re short but meaningful.
meaningful 作形容词，意为“意味深长的；有意义的”，由“meaning (n. 意义)+ -ful(形容词后缀)”构成。
相关词汇： mean v. 意思是 adj. 不善良的；刻薄的
meaningless adj. 无意义的；毫无目的的
构词法记单词：后缀-ful 用于构成形容词时意为“有……性质的”；反义词缀为-less。类似的词还有：skillful 熟练的 careful 小心的 beautiful 漂亮的 useful 有用的 colourful 多彩的 wonderful 精彩的 hopeful 抱有希望的
e.g. The old photo brings back many meaningful memories.
这张旧照片唤起了许多意味深长的回忆。
What’s the meaning of this word 这个单词是什么意思
I know your meaning. You mean that staying at home all day is meaningless and that looking for a job is meaningful.
我明白你的意思。你的意思是整天待在家里毫无意义，找份工作才是有意义的。
3. I think fables are rich in morals.
be rich in 意为“富含……；含有丰富的……”；其中rich 是形容词，意为“大量含有”。
反义词组：be poor in 缺乏…… be short of 缺少……
e.g. The country is rich in oil and coal.
这个国家石油和煤炭资源丰富。
This city is poor in water. 这个城市缺水。
I’m short of money this month. 这个月我手头有点紧。
4. Have you heard of it
hear of 意为“听说”，表示间接地听说某人或某事，相当于hear about。
hear from 意为“收到(某人的)来信”，其后接表示的人的名词或代词。
e.g. We are more than happy to hear of your success.

7. Jules Verne takes us on an exciting underwater adventure full of discoveries.
儒勒·凡尔纳带我们进行了一场充满发现的刺激的水下冒险。
分析结构: 这是一个简单句。主语是Jules G. Verne(人名)，谓语是动词takes，宾语是us，on an exciting underwater adventure 是介词短语作方式状语，full of discoveries 是形容词短语作后置定语，修饰adventure。
介词短语作状语用来修饰动词、形容词、副词或整个句子，说明动作发生的时间、地点、方式、原因、目的，或表示让步、伴随、比较等。其结构通常为“介词 + 名词 / 代词 / 动名词等”，位置灵活，可置于句首、句中或句尾。

discovery 作名词，意为“发现；发觉”，其复数形式是discoveries。the discovery of ……的发现
相关词汇：discover v. 发现；发觉
辨析：discovery 与invention
discovery 发现已存在但未知的事物(如新大陆、新元素)
invention 发明原本不存在的事物(如电话、电脑)
8. Ah, I am familiar with that short story too.
familiar adj. 熟悉的，可作定语或表语。其反义词为unfamiliar，意为“不熟悉的”。
常用短语：(1) be familiar to“为……所熟悉”，主语通常是物，介词to 后的宾语为人, 表示某事物为某人所熟悉。
(2) be familiar with“熟悉……；通晓……”，主语通常是人，表示主语熟悉介词with 后的宾语。
