三.SOME 短句
剛才那個練習你都會作嗎? 現在我們再來學另外一個用法. some 也可以跟一 些別的字一起用, 來表示 "某一個", "某一些", 比方 "某個人" somebody, s-o-m-e-b-o-d-y, somebody, "某些東西" 或是 "某些事情" something, s-o-m-e-t-h- i-n-g, something, "某個地方" somewhere, s-o-m-e-w-h-e-r-e, somewhere, 等等.
在下面一組練習里老師提出一些有關到紐約旅行的問題,比方 "誰帶彼得去看 表演了?" Who took Peter to see the shows? 接著老師說 somebody, 請你用老 師給你的字來回答問題, 所以正確答案就是: Somebody took Peter to see the shows. 現在我們開始作練習, 每作完一句就請你聽正確答案.
M: Who took Peter to see the shows?
M: somebody
F: Somebody took Peter to see the shows.
M: Who gave Peter some information about New York?
M: somebody
F: Somebody gave Peter some information about New York.
M: What did Peter tell Mary about New York?
M: something
F: Peter told Mary something about New York.
M: What did Peter bring back from New York?
M: something
F: Peter brought back something from New York.
M: When will Peter go to New York again?
M: someday
F: Peter will go to New York again someday.
M: When will Mary visit New York?
M: someday
F: Mary will visit New York someday.
四.ANY
剛才我們學習了some 的一些用法, 現在我們來學習 any, a-n-y, any. 這個字表 示 "任何".
在下面一組練習里瑪麗用 any 問彼得一些他在紐約的活動的問題, 比方 "你 在紐約有沒有跟任何外國人說話呢? " Did you talk to any foreigners in New York? 或者" 你在動物園有沒有看見任何熊貓呢? "Did you see any pandas in the zoo? 這些問題彼得都一一的作否定的答覆. 現在請你注意聽瑪麗問問 題, 并且跟彼得一起回答問題. 請注意在這些句子里用的是復數名詞.
F: Did you talk to any foreigners in New York?
M: No, I didn't talk to any foreigners in New York.
F: Did you see any pandas in the zoo?
M: No, I didn't see any pandas in the zoo.
F: Did you eat in any Chinese restaurants in New York?
M: No, I didn't eat in any Chinese restaurants in New York.
F: Did you buy any expensive souvenirs in New York?
M: No, I didn't buy any expensive souvenirs in New York.
下面我們把 some 跟 any 作個比較. 這兩個字因為意思不同, 所以 some 常常 出現在肯定句里, 而 any 常常出現在否定句里. 在下面一組練習里, 老師用慢 速度念一些句子比較這兩個字的用法. 這些句子還是跟彼得到紐約去玩有關 系. 每個句子我們念兩遍, 請你聽一遍, 跟著重復一遍. 在你重復的時候要特 別注意 some 跟 any 的區別.
M: Peter ate in some good restaurants in New York, but he didn't eat in any Chinese restaurants.
F: Peter ate in some good restaurants in New York, but he didn't eat in any Chinese restaurants.
M: Peter saw some foreigners in New York, but he didn't talk to any of them.
F: Peter saw some foreigners in New York, but he didn't talk to any of them.
M: Peter bought some souvenirs in New York, but he didn't buy any expensive ones.
F: Peter bought some souvenirs in New York, but he didn't buy any expensive ones.
M: Peter went to some zoos in New York, but he didn't see any pandas there.
F: Peter went to some zoos in New York, but he didn't see any pandas there.
練習了剛才那些句子我希望你對some 和 any 兩者的分別有了一些認識. any 也可以跟別的字一起用, 比方 "任何人" anybody, a-n-y-b-o-d-y, anybody, "任何 事情" 或 "任何東西" anything, a-n-y-t-h-i-n-g, anything, "任何地方" anywhere, a-n-y-w-h-e-r-e, anywhere 等等. 現在我們來作一組練習, 由瑪麗問彼得一些有 關他在紐約的問題,比方他在地鐵上有沒有跟某個人交談, 在中國城有沒有買 某些東西等等. 這些問題彼得都一一的用我們剛才提到 anybody 跟 anything 作否定的答覆. 請你注意聽瑪麗問問題, 并且跟彼得一起回答.
F: Did you talk to somebody on the subway?
M: No, I didn't talk to anybody on the subway.
F: Did you buy something in Chinatown?
M: No, I didn't buy anything in Chinatown.
F: Did you get something for your parents?
M: No, I didn't get anything for my parents.
