　　1．the teacher is a very enthusiastic woman called ms. shen.
　　这个非常热情的女老师是沈老师。
　　called ms. shen 是过去分词短语作定语，与所修饰的词之间存在着逻辑上的被动关系，相当于定语从句who/that was called ms. shen。 如：
　　we visited the new library built three weeks ago.
　　我们参观了三周前建成的图书馆。
　　the first textbooks written for teaching english as a foreign language came out in the 18th century.
　　最早为外语教学而写的英语课本出现在十八世纪。
　　most of the artists invited to the party were from south africa.
　　被邀请来参加聚会的大多是南非艺术家。
　　注：短语一般放在被修饰词之后，单个过去分词放在被修饰词之前
　　2．and we have fun. i don＂t think i will be bored in ms. shen＂s class!
　　我们上课上得很开心，我认为我不会对沈老师的课厌烦的。

　　（2） 我们要注意本句英汉表达的区别。英语中有些动词，如think, believe, expect, suppose, feel, guess, imagine 等，当它们后面接一个具有否定意义的宾语从句时，通常要把主句的动词变为否定式，而宾语从句中的谓语动词用肯定形式。这种现象称为否定的转移。如：
　　we don＂t think there is anything interesting in your pictures.
　　我们认为你的画并没有什么有趣的地方。
　　i don＂t believe what he said is true.我认为他说的不是真话。
　　i don＂t suppose they will object to my suggestion.

　　注：在反意疑问句中，若陈述部分是第一人称，think等词用一般现在进，则疑部部分需与从句中的主语和谓语保持一致，否则要与主句的主语和谓语保持一致。如：
　　i don＂t think it＂s going to rain tomorrow, is it?
　　我认为明不会下雨，对吗？
　　you don＂t think i have made mistakes, do you?
　　你并不认为我犯了什么错误，是吗？
