PROGRAMME 20
PART I - The Dialogue
有幾個高中學(xué)生在和老師進行討論。一開始，他們討論的是課余做工的事。
TEACHER：
O.K. -working after school.
Ah...Chris, you work after schol,don't you? What do you think of it?
CHRIS:
I think it's good. It gives me a bit more spending money.
TINA:
Hm...You may be right, Chris, but it can affect your school work.
CHRIS:
My school work's O.K.!
TINA:
But you don't have any leisure time.It's all work, work,work!
CHRIS:
Ienjoy myfelf at work. I meet lots of different people.
TINA:
Maybe, but I think people need leisure time. And with exams coming up you need all the time you can get.
PAUL:
Right!
后來，他們又討論關(guān)于考試的事。這一段，此處沒有選印。不過如果你學(xué)第II部分所列詞語，聽廣播時就沒有困難了。
get sick [ ]生病
understand [ ]了解
maybe [ ]也許
either [ ]也（用于否定句）
I couldn't agree more [ ]我太同意了
It gives me a bit more spending money [ ]
這樣可以多來點兒零花錢

他們考試的時候，考不出真正的水平

working after school[ ]課余做工
It can affect * your schol work [ ]這會影響學(xué)習(xí)的
You need all the time you can get [ ]所有的時間都得用上
*動詞affect讀音與effect(動詞、名詞)[ ]相同。請查名詞effect的意思。（實際上名詞effect 和動詞effect是有聯(lián)系的：to affect sth=to have an effect on sth）

PART III - The Lesson
AGREEING AND DISAGREEING
同意與不同意
關(guān)于怎樣表示同意和不同意，我們在第6講和第19講學(xué)了以下幾個說法：
表示同意 表示不同意
I agree. I don't agree.
I think so too. I disagree.
So do I. I don't think so.
Right . That's true,but ...
在這一講里，我們要學(xué)習(xí)以下幾個新的說法：
1.HALF-AGREEING WITH
SOMEONE表示不完全同意
You may be right, but ...(參看對話)
Maybe, but...(參看對話)
隨后我們常常要提出相反的意見或論點。廣播里有這樣一段對話：
JOHN：
I like this song. It's lively.
BARBARA:
You may be right, but it's noisy.
2.AGREEING STRONGLY
表示非常同意
表示非常同意，說法很多，常用的有：
Exactly.
I couldn't agree more.
3.BEING EXTRA POLITE WHEN DISAGREEINGP客氣地表示不同意
I don't quite agree.
(加了quite 這個小詞，句子就顯得較為客氣。)
請看下面這個例子：
BARBARA:I like music.
JOHN: I do too.
(請參看第19講第III部分)
這個說法也可以表示同意，或者表示與前面一句肯定的話相同的意思。
請注意，表示這樣的意思，可以使用下面兩個公式：
主語+助動詞+TOO
或SO +助動詞+主語
He likes music. She does TOO.
So does she.
They'll come. I will TOO.
SO will I.
We've finished. Paul hs TOO.
SO has paul.
You remembered. Chris did TOO.
SO did Chris.
PRONUNCIATION CORNER
a) 關(guān)于some 一詞的讀音：
i)[ ] 這是最常用的讀法。some 后面如有一個名詞，而句子的重點也在這個名詞，而不在于數(shù)量，就用這種讀法。
I'd like some tea ,thanks.(請注意，這種弱讀形式是不能重讀的。)
ii)[ ]表示的意思與(i)相同，但后面沒有名詞。
Yes, I'd like some, thanks.
iii)[ ]表示一定數(shù)量，但句子的重點在于說明只有“少量” ，而不在于名詞本身。
I've got some paper(but not much).
iv)[ ] 表示一部分，而不是全部。
Some of my friends.
Some people think...
some kids get sick...
在上述（iii）和（iv）兩種情況，some一詞總是重讀的。
b)I couldn't agree more [ ]
在說這句話時，請注意第二個詞與第三個詞怎樣連讀。請反復(fù)練習(xí)。
