第三十課 與選舉有關(guān)的詞匯
一.本課要點及示例
在這一課里, 我們要學(xué)習(xí)幾個由動詞和介詞構(gòu)成的常用語, 比方 "競選" run for, r-u-n f-o-r, run for, "依賴" depend on, d-e-p-e-n-d o-n, depend on, "參預(yù)" take part in, t-a-k-e p-a-r-t i-n, take part in 等等. 我們也要學(xué)習(xí)許多跟選舉有關(guān)系的詞匯.
現(xiàn)在我們先來聽今天這一課的對話, 內(nèi)容是說亨利跟同事南希談起競選話動 的事情. 請你注意聽兩位英文老師的發(fā)音和語調(diào).
F: Are you going to vote today, Henry?
M: I don't think so. There aren't any candidates I'm interested in.
F: Haven't you kept up on the issues?
M: I've seen the ads on TV, but I'm not up on what's going on.
F: You should be, you know. This is an important election. And a friend of mine is running for office.
M: That's why you've been bringing in all the campaign buttons.
F: Yes, Joe Brown is a really good candidate. He has taken part in a lot of community activities and he knows what needs to be done.
M: And you would vote for him even if you weren't friends, right?
F: Right!
現(xiàn)在我們來聽老師用慢速度把整段對話念一遍.

現(xiàn)在老師把對話里包含了我們今天要學(xué)的常用語的句子挑出來, 再念一遍給 你聽.

F: A friend of mine is running for office.
M: You've been bringing in all the campaign buttons.
F: He has taken part in a lot of community activities.
二.RUN FOR
聽完了對話, 現(xiàn)在我們來練習(xí)對話里包含的常用語. 首先我們學(xué)習(xí)怎么用 run for 作句子. 比方有一句話: "有些律師在競選總統(tǒng)." 這句話英文可以這樣說:
Some lawyers are running for the presidency.
下面我們作一組代換練習(xí),學(xué)學(xué)這種說法. 在這一組練習(xí)里你可以學(xué)習(xí)到其他 公職的名稱, 比方市政會, 郡委會等等.現(xiàn)在我們開始作練習(xí). 請你在學(xué)生作練 習(xí)的時候也一起作.
M: Some lawyers are running for the presidency.
M: congressional office

M: mayor's office
F: Some lawyers are running for the mayor's office.

F: Some lawyers are running for the city council.
M: county board

三.DEPEND ON
剛才我們作的幾組練習(xí)都是有關(guān)競選的事情. 下面我們作一組代換練習(xí), 看看 在美國參加競選的人必須依賴誰的幫助才能夠當(dāng)選. 練習(xí)的作法是老師念一 個句子, 比方: "候選人依賴競選委員會主管人員來贏得選舉." The candidates depend on their campaign managers to win the election. 你跟著重復(fù)一遍, 接著 老師念出一些助選人員的名稱, 比方 "競選顧問" campaign advisors, "演講稿 撰寫人" speech writers, "競選工作人員" campaign staff. "支持者" supporters 等等, 請你把你聽到的代換到原來的句子里. 每作完一句就請你聽老師念正確 答案.
