第二十八課 間接引句(一)
一.本課要點及示例
在這一課里, 我們學習間接引句的用法, 比方: "他說他不來." He said that he was not coming. 等等.
現在我們來聽今天這一課里的對話, 內容是說凱特在學校里跟同事, 也就是教 體育的比爾, 談到了一個學生缺課的事情. 請你注意聽兩位英文老師的發音和 語調.
M: Is everyone here today?
F: No, Jimmy Taylor is absent.
M: That's strange. We're choosing teams today. He asked if he could be a captain. It's really too bad that he is not here.
F: He and his father came to see me early this morning. His father asked if Jimmy could be excused today. He said that they were going on a trip.
M: How long will Jimmy be out of school?
F: His father didn't say, but he did give the reason for the trip.
M: What is that?
F: Jimmy's grandmother died.
現在我們再聽英文老師把對話慢慢兒地念一遍.
M: Is everyone here today?
F: No, Jimmy Taylor is absent.
M: That's strange. We're choosing teams today. He asked if he could be a captain. It's really too bad that he is not here.
F: He and his father came to see me early this morning. His father asked if Jimmy could be excused today. He said that they were going on a trip.
M: How long will Jimmy be out of school?
F: His father didn't say, but he did give the reason for the trip.
M: What is that?
F: Jimmy's grandmother died.
下面我請英文老師把對話里的間接引句再念一遍.
M: He asked if he could be a captain.
F: His father asked if Jimmy could be excused today.
F: He said that they were going on a trip.
二.間接引句
第一組練習是由凱特或是比爾說一句話, 比方凱特說: Jimmy Taylor is absent.
接著學生就用間接引句說: Kate said that Jimmy Taylor was absent. 請你注意 在引述別人的話的時候應該把話里的現在時態動詞改成過去時態. 現在我們 開始作練習, 學生作句子的時候請你也一起作.
F: Jimmy Taylor is absent.
M: Kate said that Jimmy Taylor was absent.
F: Jimmy is excused from school.
M: Kate said that Jimmy was excused from school.
F: Jimmy's grandmother is dead.
M: Kate said that Jimmy's grandmother was dead.
下面學生引述比爾說的話, 還是請你跟著作練習.
M: It is strange that Jimmy is absent.
F: Bill said that it was strange that Jimmy was absent.
M: The school is choosing teams.
F: Bill said that the school was choosing teams.
M: Jimmy wants to be a captain.
F: Bill said that Jimmy wanted to be a captain.
M: It is too bad that Jimmy is not in school.
F: Bill said that it was too bad that Jimmy was not in school.
下面一組練習是由凱特自我介紹, 說明她是小學三年級教員, 并且敘述她的日 常工作, 比方她教什么課程, 她預備教材, 跟學生和學生家長開會等等. 練習 的作法是凱特說一句話, 比方: "我教算術." I teach arithmetic. 聽了之后, 你就 引述凱特的話說:"凱特告訴我她教算術."Kate told me that she taught arithmetic.
請你注意在引述別人的話的時候不但要把現在時態動詞改為過去時態, 并且 要把話里的主詞從 "我" 改成 "她". 現在我們開始作練習, 每作完一句, 老師會 念出正確答案讓你作個比較.
