His illness arose from malnutrition. 4） arouse 及物动词 （唤醒；激起，引起） The noise outside aroused him from sleep.

Unit18（第53讲—第55讲） 本课主要句型 1. Now it is hard to visualize a map that does not feature north at the top， but this was not always so. 本句中it做形式主语（formal subject），to visualize a map……。是真正的主语（real subject）。用it 做形式主语， 主要是因为主语较长，谓语较短，于是不定式常放在谓语的后面。例如： 1）It is necessary to tell him the news as soon as possible.（尽快把这消息告诉他是很必要的。） 2）It took us 30 minutes to get there by bus.（坐公共汽车到那儿花了我们30分钟时间。） 3）It made us very angry to see him talk to the old man in such an impolite manner.（看到他以如此不礼貌的方式与那位老人谈话，我们非常气愤。） 4）How much did it cost you to send the parcel express？（速递这个包裹花了你多少钱？） 请翻译下列句子，注意用做形式主语： 1）掌握一门外语不是一件容易的事。 2）能来参加这个晚宴是我们的荣幸。 3）我们不帮助他们是错误的。 4）他们拒绝采纳这个建议是不明智的。 上面的四个句子可以翻译为： 1） It is not easy to master a foreign language. 2） It is our honor to be present at this dinner party. 3） It was a mistake for us not to help them. 4） It is unwise of them to turn sown the suggestion.
