4. no longer 不再；已不

【备课例句】

I go there no longer. 我不再去那儿了。

She no longer needed the shoe! 她不再需要那只鞋子了。

【横向辐射】not…any longer & not any more 

1.not…any longer 

意为“不再”，常可与no longer 替换，多指过去持续的动作或存在的状态现在已不能再继续下去，侧重指时间上不再延长。

【例句】

I can’t wait for you any longer.=I can’t no longer wait for you. 我不能再等到你了。

2.not…any more

也意为“不再”，可与no more替换，多指再也不重复过去反复做或发生的具体动作。

5. take pride in 对……感到自豪

在此短语中，pride 为名词，意为“骄傲”。另外be proud of 也意为“为……感到自豪”，但proud是形容词。同时我们要注意这两个短语中的介词不同。

【备课例句】

They take pride in their daughter, who is now a movie star. 

=They are proud of their daughter, who is now a movie star.

女儿成为电影明星，他们感到很自豪。

【课堂变式】

A. pride             B. proud            C. successful             D. worried

【解析】pride是 名词，意为“骄傲，自豪”；proud是形容词，意为“骄傲的，自豪的”；successful是形容词，意为“成功的”；worried是形容词，意为“焦虑的”，feel在此是连系动词，后接形容词作表语，排除A。再根据when Liu Xiang won the first prize again in the race确定选B。

b. 句式包：

【横向辐射】“one of+复数名词或代词”

“one of+复数名词或代词”意为“……中的一个”，作主语时，谓语动词用单数形式。

【例句】
