1．He told Yu Gong he could never do it because he was old and weak.他告诉愚公他绝不可能做到，因为他又老又弱。(P42)
weak作形容词，意为“虚弱的”，其反义词为strong，意为“强壮的”。the weak表示“弱者”，作主语时谓语动词用复数形式。
她并没有看上去那么虚弱。
She is not so weak as she looks.
弱者需要我们的帮助。
The weak need our help.
【拓展延伸】(1)weak作形容词时，还可意为“不擅长；(能力)弱的”。be weak in 意为“在……
方面差”，相当于be bad at。
地理是我的弱势学科。
Geography is my weak__subject．
吉姆的汉语很差。

(2)weak的名词为weakness，意为“弱点；缺点”。
——你的弱点是什么？
——我不擅长在公共场合演讲。
—What's your weakness?
—I'm weak in speaking in public.
2．But what could Yu Gong do instead of moving the mountains？但是不把山移开，愚公还能做什么呢？(P42)
【易混辨析】instead与instead of
两者都有“代替”的含义，其区别如下：
instead 副词 位于句首或句末，位于句首时常用逗号与后面的内容隔开
instead of 介词短语 位于句首或句中，其后接名词、代词或v.－ing形式
