剛才那些問題都可以換一個方式問, 比方護士問亨利: "你從來沒有得過高血 壓, 不是嗎?" You have never had high blood pressure, have you? 就是一個例 子.下面我們作一組練習, 一方面復習時態, 一方面復習我們剛才學的新詞匯.
請你注意聽護士問亨利問題; 這些問題亨利都一一地作否定的答覆, 在亨利回 答的時候, 請你也一起回答.
F: You have never had polio, have you?
M: No, I've never had polio.
F: You have never had tuberculosis, have you?
M: No, I've never had tuberculosis.
F: You have never had high blood pressure, have you?
M: No, I've never had high blood pressure.
F: You have never had a heart attack, have you?
M: No, I've never had a heart attack.
F: You have never had cancer, have you?
M: No, I've never had cancer.
F: You have never had serious diseases, have you?
M: No, I've never had serious diseases.
F: You have never had a long term illness, have you?
M: No, I've never had a long term illness.
下面我們作一組練習比較現在完成時態跟過去時態. 以前我們學過過去時態是 用來表示在過去一個特定時間發生的事情; 而現在完成時態用來表示到目前已 經發生的事情, 并不表明特定的時間. 在作下面這組練習的時候你會聽到醫生 用現在完成時態問凱特作過某些事情沒有, 這些問題凱特都一一的作肯定的答 覆, 并且用過去時態補充說明事情發生的確定時間是 "上個月". 現在我們開始 作練習,在凱特回答問題的時候也請你一起回答:
M: You have had a health check-up lately, haven't you?
F: Yes, I have had a health check-up. I had it last month.
M: You have had a blood test lately, haven't you?
F: Yes, I have had a blood test. I had it last month.
M: You have had an x-ray lately, haven't you?
F: Yes, I have had an x-ray. I had it last month.
M: You have had an operation lately, haven't you?
F: Yes, I have had an operation. I had it last month.
M: You have had a blood transfusion lately, haven't you?
F: Yes, I have had a blood transfusion. I had it last month.
下面一組練習還是比較過去時態和現在完成時態. 練習的內容是說到醫學上 的成就. 首先你會聽到男老師念一個被動語態的過去時態句子, 比方: "去年 有許多人住院." Many people were hospitalized last year. 接著女老師就用現 在完成時態把句子改成 "從那以后有更多人住院." More people have been hospitalized since then. 這組練習里有些詞匯你可能不太熟, 比方 "實驗" experiment, "技術" technique, "意外" accident, "避免" prevent, "成就" achievement 等等, 請你在聽老師念句子的時候一面注意時態的變化, 一面 注意這些詞匯. 現在我們開始.
