=providesth.forsb.“為某人提供某物”

Themovietheaterprovidesuswithgoodservice.

Hisschoolprovidedahouseforhim.

對比漢譯英。他們提供給他錢和衣服。Theyprovidedhimwithmoneyandclothes.Theyprovidedmoneyandclothesforhim.offersb.sth.=offersth.tosb.為某人提供某物新課探究While-readingWhilereading新課探究2.Theearlierkidslearntobeindependent,thebetteritisfortheirfuture.孩子們越早學會獨立,對他們的未來就越好。

“the+比較級+……,the+比較級+……”是英語中一個常用的句型結構,表示“越……,就越……”。如:Themoreheexplained,thebetterweunderstood.他解釋得越多,我們就理解得越透徹。Manypeoplebelievethatthemoreapersonreads,thewiserhewillbecome.很多人相信一個人書讀得越多就會變得越聰明。新課探究While-readingWhilereading新課探究
