第三十一課 虛詞 it 的用法（一）
一.本課要點及示例
在這一課里, 我們學習虛詞 it, i-t, it 的用法, 比方: "買房子不容易" It isn't easy to buy a house. "買房屋保險是必需的" It's necessary to buy house insurance等 等. 另外我們要學習許多有關買賣房屋的詞匯.
現在我們來聽今天這一課的對話, 內容是說亨利跟凱特談起了鄰居賣房子的 事情. 請你注意聽兩位英文老師的發音和語調.
F: Henry, the Fishers finally sold their house.
M: Well, it's good to hear that.
F: It hasn't been easy to sell a house these days. I was worried.
M: So was I. And the Fishers were so anxious to move. Did they get their price?
F: They got five thousand dollars less than they were asking for the house.
M: It isn't bad. It's expected to get less than what is asked.
下面我請英文老師把整段對話再用慢速度念一遍, 請你注意聽.
F: Henry, the Fishers finally sold their house.
M: Well, it's good to hear that.
F: It hasn't been easy to sell a house these days. I was worried.
M: So was I. And the Fishers were so anxious to move. Did they get their price?
F: They got five thousand dollars less than they were asking for the house.
M: It isn't bad. It's expected to get less than what is asked.
現在老師把包含了it 的句子用慢速度再念一遍給你聽.
M: It's good to hear that.
F: It hasn't been easy to sell a house these days.
M: It's expected to get less than what is asked.
二.IT
聽了上面幾個句子, 我想你已經注意到 it 的用法. 比方 "擁有一幢房子很困難" It's difficult to own a house. 在這個句子里 it 指的就是 to own a house.
現在我們作一組練習, 學學這種用法. 練習里的句子都是跟買房子, 租公寓有 關系的. 練習的作法是老師念一個句子,接著老師給你一個動詞詞組, 比方 "買 公寓" to purchase a condominium, 老師也可能給你一個形容詞, 比方 "經濟實 惠" economical, 請你把聽到的代換到句子里.
M: It's difficult to own a house.
M: purchase a home
F: It's difficult to purchase a home.
M: costly
F: It's costly to purchase a home.
M: purchase a condominium
F: It's costly to purchase a condominium.
M: practical
F: It's practical to purchase a condominium.
M: economical
F: It's economical to purchase a condominium.
M: rent an apartment
F: It's economical to rent an apartment.
M: common
F: It's common to rent an apartment.
我希望剛才那組練習你都作對了. 下面我們再作一組練習, 用剛才那種句子構 造學學買房子或是租房子應該注意的事情, 比方 "選擇合適的地點" select the right location, "有好鄰居" have good neighbors, "有個講理的房東" have a reasonable landlord 等等. 練習的作法是老師提出一個問題, 請你作肯定的答 覆. 每作完一句還是請你聽老師念正確答案.
M: Is it important to select the right location?
F: Yes, it is important to select the right location.
M: Is it important to live in a good neighborhood?
F: Yes, it is important to live in a good neighborhood.
M: Is it important to have good neighbors?
F: Yes, it is important to have good neighbors.
M: Is it important to have a reasonable landlord?
F: Yes, it is important to have a reasonable landlord.
下面一組練習談到買房子必須作的事情, 比方 "借錢" get a loan, "貸款" get a mortgage, "查利率" check the interest rate. "按期付款" make regular payments, "買房屋保險" buy house insurance, "付清貸款" pay off the mortgage 等等. 練習 的作法是老師念一個句子, 接著老師念一個詞組. 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.
M: It is necessary to pay for the house.
M: get a loan
F: It is necessary to get a loan.
