第一 地道短語
stand rooted to the spot
1 解詞釋義
Root的本義是“生根”，spot是指“地點”。此語的字面意思是“想生了根一樣站在那裏”，比喻“固定不動”“站在原地不動”等。
2 支持範例
e.g. I stood rooted to the spot from the time she went in until the moment she came out.
我從她進去一直到她出來，一動都沒有動。

e.g. Before I go shopping, I make a list of the things I must buy.
在上街買東西之前，我把必須買的東西列出一個單子。
e.g. If it's all the same to you, I'd prefer to go shopping by myself.
如果你無所謂，我就自己一個人去購物。
e.g. I'll go shopping with you just to keep you company.
我跟你作伴，陪你一起去買東西。
e.g. I live just by the market, and it's very convenient to go shopping.

第三、口語句型
1. It+系動詞+who do something.
指點迷津：這是強調句式，對主語進行強調。
句型操練：It was Mary who broke the flower vase.
是瑪麗打破了花瓶。
2 Somebody must have done something.
指點迷津：這個句式是情態動詞must在虛擬語氣中的用法，表示對過去的事情的非常肯定的猜測。
句型操練：He must have been sick yesterday. He might come back to work today.
他昨天一定是生病了，今天應該回來上班的。
