【主題——吃透美語】
Today we'll carry on with "Let's have it." 今天我們來吃透美語。何謂“吃透”。我所說的“吃透”二字就是“二精讀”“一精聽”。二精讀：一是閱讀，就是把一個句子完全弄清楚：每個單詞的詞性、用法和在句子中扮演的角色，也就是說這個詞在句子中充當什么成分，一個都不要放過。二是發音，要把一個句子讀得完美，何至完美？就是每個單詞不光出來，還要注意單詞的重音，次重音；單詞完后就是意群，要注意意群的連讀，弱讀，省略讀，濁化音等等；意群完了，就是整個句子，根據情境那些單詞要重讀，意群和意群的連讀，節奏的把握和感情的投入等等。一精聽就是聽錄音時聽出快速英語中每個連讀弱讀，省略讀，濁化音、之類的地方。The above said is what we'er going to experience. Here we go. Please listen to the dialogue again.
A : I don't want to tell you why I was punished.
B : Let's have it. The teacher is upset with you.
【關鍵句子】
1 I don't want to tell you why I was punished.
【Real Speech】[ai'dəut.wɔdə'delju:waiwaiwɔz’puliʃt]
點撥
1 want to want是音標[t]結尾，to以音標[t]開頭，因此前面的[t]就不發音。緊接著看to在美語中可發為[tə],而[t]在元音[ə]前濁化為[d]. So it's pronounces as['wɔndə]。The stress falls on the first syllable.
2 tell you tell以輔音[l]結尾，you的發音是半元音[ju:],元音和輔音進行連讀，so it's pronounced as['telju:]. The stress falls on the first syllable.
3 why I why以元音[ai]結尾，I的發音也是[ai], 當2個ai要打架了，我們這是用[w]來調解他們。So , it's pronounced as['waiwai]。The stress falls on the first syllable.
【Key Words】surprised 是surprised 的過去分詞，it means"feeling or showing surprise". 意思是：覺得奇怪的，感到以外的。Let's look at it classical phrase: be surprised at something or somebody, 譯為真想不到某人......真想不到某事......。For example: I was surprised at how quickly she agreed. 我沒想到他就這么快的同意了。I'm surprised at you, behaving like that in front of kids. 我真想不到他在孩子面前會做出這樣的舉動。I am surprised to do something和I am surprised that, 這個大家都很熟悉了，不過在此啰嗦一句，to do something是動詞不定式做原因狀語。That 后面引導的從句時補語從句，也成為形容詞從句。
Surprising是surprise的現在分詞，也是形容詞。It means "causing surprise". 意思是：令人驚奇的，出人意料的，使人驚奇的。Let's look at some typical sentences. It's surprising what people will do for money. 人為了錢什么都干得出來，這不足為奇。A saying goes, "Money talks."常言道：“有錢能使鬼推磨?！?/P>
Okay, both surprised and surprising are adjective. How can they be made right use of them. Actually, it's easy. 主語使人就用過去分詞性質的形容詞surprised, 主語是物，就用現在分詞性質的形容詞surprising. In addition, 如果我們說到副詞的話，就只是surprisingly, 不管使人還是物，沒有surprisedly這個單詞. For example: Surprisingly, she agreed straight away. 真想不到，她立馬同意了。Not surprisingly on such a hot day, the beach was crowded. 在這么熱的天，海灘上人們攢動不足為奇。
【Grammar】to tell you why I was punished是動詞不定式做want的賓語，在這個動詞不定式中，why I was punished是賓語從句，做tell的直接賓語，you做tell的間接賓語。
3 Let's have it.
【Real Speech】[lets'hævit]
點撥：have是以輔音[v]結尾，it是以元音[i]開頭，輔音和元音連讀，so, it's pronounces as['hævit]. The stress falls on the first syllable.
【Key Word】In this sentence, have means "perform a particular activity".作為這個意思，我有很熟悉的短語，such as : have a bathe洗澡，have a shower 淋浴，have a wash 洗一下。
【Translation】快點說。/讓我聽聽看。/說說看。
3 The teacher is upset with you.
【Real Speech】[ðə'ti:tʃə.rizʌp'zetwiðju:]
點撥：
1 teacher is upset teacher以輔音[r]結尾，is是以元音[i]開頭，連讀為[ri],繼續往下看，is以輔音[z]結尾，up以元音[ʌ]開頭，在進行連讀為[zʌ],upset發音為[ʌp'set],但是在美語中，[s]濁化為[z]. So, this sense group is pronounced as[.rizʌp'zet]. The stress falls on the third syllable and secondary stress falls on the first syllable.
2 with you with以輔音[ð]結尾，you的發音為半元音[ju:],輔音和元音連讀。So, it's pronounced as [ðju:]
【Translation】老師對你生氣了。
【Key word】In this sentence, upset means "unhappy or disappointed because of something unpleasant that has happened". 意思是：不高心，難過，沮喪，失望。For example: There's no point getting upset with him about it. 犯不著因他的事兒難過。And I am upset that ...這個用法大家很熟悉了，that 后面引導的是補語從句。Here we've got set phrases: be upset with somebody對某人發起，be upset about something 因某事難受，生氣，be upset with somebody about something 因某事對某人生氣。By the way, let's look at another phrase: an upset stomach ,意思是腸胃不舒適，腹瀉
