【今日主題——吃透美語】
【復習】
Yesterday, we learned many ways of expressing"to continue doing something". And here I want to emphasize we have to get a good grasp of them, distinguish their differences to make an exact use of them in some certain situation. And today let's take a delight in Juliet's English study method. I wish you could enjoy it.
【即學即用】
Last time our subject sentence is "Keep talking." And now , let's put it into practice. Please translate the sentences from hit a American films. 1 你繼續說，可以嗎？2 然后怎么呢？繼續說吧。Think them hard and the suggestive answers will be given later. 1 I need you to keep talking. Can you do that? 2 So, what happened? Keep talking.
【小題大作】
1 Do you want to hear more about what I did today?
【Real Speech】[du:ju:.wɔndəhiə'mɔ:rəbaut.wh:ɔdai'didədei]
【Translation】還想聽聽我今天做了什么嗎？
【Key Words and Phrases】hear about 獲悉，聽說，得知
In English it means to be told about something or somebody. For example: I've heard about people like you. 我聽說過想你這樣的人。I've heard your remarriage with your first husband. 我聽說了你和你的前夫復婚了。
【Grammar】In this sentence "to hear about what I did today" 是動詞不定式做want的賓語，在這個動詞不定式中，“what I did today”是賓語從句作介詞about的賓語，about 在此句中是關于的意思。More 在此作代詞，譯為更多的東西。
2 Keep talking.
【Real Speech】[ki:'dɔ:gin]
【Translation】繼續說。
【Key Phrases】keep doing something means "continue doing something; to do something repeatedly. 可以看出它有2個意思，一個是繼續做某事，一個是重復做某事。We also can say it as:keep on doing something. For example: Keep on smiling. 要保持笑容。
3 It sounds like you had fun.
【Real Speech】[it'saudzlai'gjuhædfʌn]
【Translation】聽起來你好像玩得很高興。
【Key Words and Phrases】have fun 玩得很愉快，it means enjoy yourself.
In this sentence"sound " is the key word which means "to give a particular impression when heard or read about". 譯為：聽起來好像，讓人聽著好像。For example: Her explanation sounds reasonable. 她的解釋聽起來好像在理。Leo made it sound so easy, but it wasn't. Leo把這件事說得好像很簡單，其實并不是那么回事兒。上面的2句主語是物，請看下面的2據主語是人。You sound just like your mother when you said that. 你說這話，聽著你似乎和你的，母親一模一樣。在英國，上面的句子若是作為書面語，被視為錯誤的，正確的是把like改為as though, as if. Like 是在口語中使用，特別是在美國的北部. It means "similar to something or somebody". 譯為：類似，相似，好像，似乎。For example: He's very like his father. 他很像他的父親。She looks nothing like her mother. 她長得一點兒都不像她的母親。此句中，nothing可以改為not at all. So , it is :She looks not at all like her mother.
【Grammar】Sound 可以作為系動詞，后面直接跟形容詞，也可是作為實義動詞，在此句中是實義動詞。Like 在此句中是介詞。You had fun是賓語從句作介詞like的賓語。
【Sentence Patterns】
something sounds like+賓語從句，意思是：某事物聽起來讓人好像......
Somebody sounds like+賓語從句，意思是：聽起來某人好像...... 如果該句是否定式，翻譯為：不要聽起來好像是某人......
【實際美語發音】
A:Do you want to hear more about what I did today?
B:Keep talking. It sounds like you had fun.
